Chapter 3

Connie

Most people wake up to an alarm clock, not me. Today I was woken up by six guards putting cuffs on me and dragging me out of my bed. They think there just gonna wake me up, cuff me and not tell me where the fuck I'm going, no. Maybe when hell freezes over but not a moment sooner. As they were dragging me out the door and into the hallway, I kicked, punched, rolled, and even got my legs wrapped around one of the guard's neck and began to strangle him. We fell back onto the floor with him banging at my leg and trying to pry me off his throat, not gonna happen; I just squeezed tighter and tighter. The other guards were trying to pull me off and loosen my legs so the guy could get air. As I felt his heart slowing, I felt a sharp pain in my side. Within ten seconds I got a huge head-ache and my body became paralyzed. The five guards just pulled my legs off from around the guys neck, but it was too late I already killed him. It felt pretty good; I could tell from the looks on the other guys faces that they were scared of me now. But not being able to move, destroyed the fear factor of what I just did.

One of the guards flipped me over his shoulder and continued to walk down the hall, in the same direction as before. I could hear two of them talking even though they were trying to whisper. The one said,"So this one is the oldest? They think that she'll survive the trial?" The other just looked at him with surprised face and replied "You just watched her kill Peter's and the paralyzing serum that we used on her was twenty times the amount needed for a human." Twenty times the amount you need for a human, what the fuck did that mean? Am I not a human? I never gave it much thought before today, but now that I think about it, I can run faster than regular humans, and I'm a hell of a lot stronger than a human is, so what the fuck does that make me?

We approached what looked like yet another big ass concrete door, though I couldn't really tell. Hanging upside down messes with your vision. He walked inside, but there weren't the usual five scientists who just evaluated you. Today there were around twenty, this new test must be a really big deal. As the guard made his way across the room he stopped in front a metal door. He opened it up to reveal a small room with just enough room to stand up and turn around. He dropped me to the floor, and dragged me into the room, but didn't close the door. Instead he walked over to a small table in the corner of the room and grabbed a syringe with yet another drug inside. He made his way back over to me and just shot it into my arm, then pushed my legs over the line where the tile changed into concrete, and closed the door. I just sat there thinking what the hell was that supposed to do?

Five minutes later I could move again, guess what the first thing I started doing was? Yep, punching the hell out of that metal door, but it wasn't any good; I couldn't even make a dent. "What the hell am I supposed to be doing in here?" I screamed at the top of my lungs, I knew that they could hear me. I heard their voices on the other side of the door, murmuring quietly. Then, from out of nowhere a voice came out of what I think was an inter com that said "Exactly what we told Eli to do Connie, Survive." I didn't know that voice it wasn't Doc Peterson or any of the other mother fucker's who I had lived around for 14 years. Then who was it? Then the wall in front of me moved to the side leading out into exactly what Eli described, a forest.

I woke up to a shock, Connie was gone, again. Where the hell was she this time? The doors are locked every night, and no one ever comes or goes out, so what the fuck happened? I looked around myself and asked "Did anyone see Connie last night?" Then a girl walked over to me from the other side of the room and said "You mean the girl who just got back yesterday?"

"Yes, that's her brown hair really bright green eyes. Where is she?"

"They took her last night"

"What? Took her where?" Now I was really getting worried, they never took anyone in the middle of the night.

"I don't know they came in, cuffed her, dragged her out, and locked the door. Sorry about your friend." Then the girl just walked away. Oh fuck, what the hell could they be doing to her? I got to tell the guys ASAP. God I hope she's ok.

Connie

I slowly walked out into the forest, and saw nothing, just endless trees in every direction. Behind me was the facilities signature big ass concrete wall without any windows. To my right side, out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash and turned to see what it was, but there was nothing there. Immediately I thought Oh shit it's that death beast Eli was talking about. FUCK! Ok, calm down Connie, what did Eli say he did?

"Then the doors opened and I walked out, next thing I know I'm getting chased by some fucking death beast before I made it to the other side of the forest and back into another metal box."

I think that's what he said? Ok so all I need to do is run, and I took off.
