The beginning of the end

The two experiments had long dreamt of escape, they never really contemplated it happening.

One day an either drunken or stupid scientist put the experiments away, at first the experiments did not notice, they were too exhausted, but he did not lock their cages.

138 was the first to notice, she could not believe it. The black experiment had already fallen asleep with overtiredness; she had to bang on the glass to wake him up. When he awoke he looked so sick and thin that he was hardly recognizable as the hansom experiment she first met. She did not find it fair that they worked him so hard; they often gave her days off and plenty of food, even if it was horrible.

"Experiment?"

"Yes." He said, his voice dripping with weariness.

"We can escape."

"When, where, how? We can't. We tried." He said, the months of torture had taken hold of him, at first they created daring escapes, but they never worked though.

"No, this time we really can. The doors are open." She said.

The experiment jumped to his feet, a flame of his old self shone through. He tried the hatch in the side, sure enough, it was open.

He hopped out and opened 138's door. She jumped out next to him.

They crossed over to the main door, that wasn't locked either.

Something was lit inside the experiment that he had never felt before, except when he watched the film at the beginning of his existence. It was bloodlust; it was programming.

The two experiments ran silently down the hall. The Black experiment heard snores coming from a side door as they ran, He stopped.

"Come on! We gave got to get out of here!" 138 whispered desperately.

"Run! Save yourself! I have something I have got to do!" He hissed and entered the scientists' sleeping quarters.

138 waited outside, unsure what her friend was doing, and whether she should leave.

Inside the black shadow scuttled from bed to bed, killing them silently with his sharp claws, they never knew he was there. He did not kill the scientists for joy, like his programming told him; he did it for revenge, revenge of the years of torture. When the whole room was empty of life he was about to leave, then he saw a door at the opposite side of the room, it had a sign, this read 'Dr. Ranoi'. He knew what he had to do; he crept into the room and shut the door.

138 heard the doctor's tortured screams. She could not believe what her mate had done, but she had to wait for him; she loved him, even though he was a killer.

The experiment grabbed 138 by the arm and carried on running; he could not believe what he had just done, and he did it in front of the one he loved. He kept telling himself that they would have killed them both, but it did not take the weight off his mind.

They came to two guards, one was asleep and the other dosing, the experiments didn't see them until too late; the guard awoke and started firing at them, well, only 138. The black experiment blended into the shadows, and went unnoticed until it was too late. The guard saw his friend drop to the floor dead, he froze, in this brief second the black experiment had cut his jugular as well, and he thought no more.

They ran down the hall, their feet pattering on the floor.

They both heard footsteps coming up the corridor behind them; the gun shot must have alerted more guards.

They needed to get outside, away from the police, and find a ship. Some inner force guided them; they could almost feel the fresh air from outside. Then all hope shattered.

The black experiment turned to see his mate fall, as if in slow motion: A gun shot rang, 138 fell to the floor, the speed of the plasma made her skid round and land on her back He stopped, and bent down over her body.

"Run." She said weakly.

"No, I love you! I can't leave!" he said desperately.

"I love you too." She said.

Another shot was fired, he looked up.



Black…..

*********************

Ok, this is kind of evil. I just wanted to show that nobody (the experiment) was violent but didn't want to be. To make it clear the experiment wasn't killed, just shot in the face with plasma. This is not the end, there is still more… lots more (one chapter)

Thank everyone for reviewing! Keep on going! Thanks so much!
