Hey I have written some more again- sorry it took so long but this chapter is very Summon orientated as we start to look more at the backstories of the subjects...please let me knwo if I should devote a few chaps to them or if i should just hint at them
Edging his eyes open, Summon blinked in confusion. He was awake before the alarm? Wait no…he wasn't in the sleeping area anymore. Darting his eyes around in confusion at the dark room he noted he seemed to be in an office
"Ah, you're awake" the voice crept over the boy's skin and made him shudder. He suddenly realised where he was. That man's office was always the same dark ominous aura. He had felt it many times; after all he had been there the longest.
"You did a bad thing, Summon"
He felt his ears droop. He cursed himself inside that he became like this around that man. A scared puppy willing to do anything for praise. Years of torture and abuse had slowly worn down the boy's resistance. He saw the man motion to move forward and his body obeyed without thinking. Slowly making his way to the man who he could only describe as the devil, the man's cold eyes slid over the shivering boy's body. This was the only person he was truly afraid of; Summon hated him, seeing him meant he had done wrong.
The boy hated being put through testing. He had been at this place the longest out of anyone so the testing bore into him, making him dread his life. He closed up and began to hide his abilities from the staff. This meant the Head began to take him away when he discovered he was lying. He was beaten for disobedience but he was seen as being rebellious.
He stood sheepishly, looking up at the Head's face. The only one to have seen it but he refused to tell the others of the cold eyes; they locked your gaze, the snarl on his lips made you quiver. Everything about the man breathed darkness.
The man tapped his lap and Summon crawled onto it, shivering as the large hand ruffled though his blond hair, cupping his left ear and whispering into the right ear
"I know you can enter dreams…oh, surprised? You keep mentioning about things you have seen when you're angry"
"I-I just say stuff when I'm angry! It never makes sense!" Summon protested. The Head shrugged and took the boy's tail in his other hand, pulling it to cause the boy discomfort
"It was enough to make me watch your sleep patterns" He clicked a button and security footage of the sleeping area with diagrams showing the subjects brainwaves appeared on a screen "Look what happens"
There is a flash on Summon's brainwaves and suddenly they were in sync with Briar's
"Nothing happened!" Summon protested trying to squirm free blushing wildly, but the Head held him fast
"Oh, I think differently…it seems you and I need to have another talk Summon…"
"Please…please…let me go"
"It won't take long Summon…only as long as it takes you to accept it" the grin on the man's face widened and Summon shook more. He was truly terrified and what made it worse was that there was nothing he could do about it.
"Come on Briar, cheer up! So you got beaten black and blue, and it was kinda totally your own fault for forgetting the rules, but come on, you're being unawesome!"
"Si mi amigo, you should smile"
"But I am happy" Briar laughed "I had a wonderful dream last night" he laughed and brushed off the two boys with him. Solaris pouted and tilted his head
"Oh really, what about?" he asked. Briar opened his mouth to reply, but he snapped it back shut as a guard passed nearby
"It might be best not to dwell on the details now" he sighed and motioned towards them
"Oh, it was that kind of dream" Beast burst out laughing nearly falling off the table in the process. Glacier glanced over from where he sat and rolled his eyes. He turned back to the twins who were sat across from him. Reflect was playing with Mirror's ears, the boy was protesting about 2 hours previous but now he didn't seem to care and batted it off. Glacier had to laugh even though he would never admit it, Mirror did enjoy spending time with his brother and it was endearing.
Where was Atomic you may ask?
"I said; keep your hands off me!" was all that was heard as the panelling of one of the walls to the room came raining down upon them followed by the boisterous, idiotic and demonic male. He struck a pose when he landed on the table and laughed heartily. He had no restraints on at that point as he was supposed to be in a test.
"Atomic!" Glacier ran over to his brother "Get down!"
Atomic turned and smiled "Hey bro, it's ok cos I'm…" His words slurred off as he fell forward. In a panic, Glacier dived so as to catch his brother and held him close; it was then that he noted Mam holding a gun. Growling a little his eyes fell on the dart in his brother's lower back
"Idiots…they know better than to let this boy of all people to have his restraints off longer than is necessary" She sighed and snatched the gloves from a shivering assistant and then proceeded to tower over the two boys. Glacier shivered and suddenly wished he was invisible. Mam grabbed Atomic roughly by the collar and dragged him to lay on the table, she replaced the restraints "Don't let it happen again" she hissed
"What a bitch" Beast growled, staring at her with intent to kill
"Oui…but you have to admit she has nice" Briar began until a strike to the back of his head clipped his tongue. Brother was stood behind him staring darkly, Flora hanging off his arm. Briar swallowed and laughed "She has nice clothing….nice clothing, oui?"
Brother sighed and dragged off his sister, who smiled and waved as an enthusiastic Solaris waved back.
"Nice girl" he smiled. Beast and Briar looked at him. Only Solaris would completely missed the crazy brother and focus on the positive that is a nice polite younger sister.
"By the way…what happened to Summon?" Beast asked looking around.
"Some of the staff said he was asked to participate in early morning testing" Solaris added smiling.
Briar sighed "Why can't we all be as optimistic sounding as you, Solaris?"
"Que?"
"He says you're an air head" Beast replied. Solaris blinked
"Hey!" he yelled as the albino fell over laughing at the slow reaction of the Spaniard.
Summon sat on the man's lap still. The head had a hand on each ear smiling like the mad man he was. Summon no longer shivered, as it always happened, when he finally became the obedient puppy. The man did enjoy breaking him over and over. Since Summon had a feisty spirit it never stayed broken long.
"Now….Summon…tell me about this power of yours…" he whispered into the ear sending a shiver down Summon's spine. The blank eyes snapped shut and he stuttered
"I…I can enter a person's dream at night...I can change little things and I get influenced by the person's desires…" He felt like crying but he was strong
"You can change things, huh? Maybe you're what I need to make my subjects more obedient…"
"Please, no!" Summon cried, but he ceased to make noise as the man's nails dug into his ears, just enough to leave marks but not draw blood.
"You have no place to back talk to me and you know it" he hissed
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Smiling, the man embraced the boy and held him close "We have been through so much, my boy…just try to remember not to piss me off" he smiled. Summon nodded and the man stroked his head "Good boy…good boy…" he cooed. Summon felt himself relaxing, he always did when this devil did this. It was only proof to the teen of how broken he had become. Pushing the boy to stand he clicked his tongue and pointed to the door "Go…you will be called for when needed"
Nodding a little, Summon turned on point and ran through the doors and down the white corridor. He didn't stop until he reached the room where the rest of the subjects were gathered. The slamming of the door as he entered was enough to call the attention of everyone to his presence, except for Atomic who was still drugged up and completely out of it.
"There you are, Summon" Amazonia smiled "How was the testing?"
Summon looked up at her and smiled with the broken eyes. He began to lie and tell them how the testing was exhausting. He never told anyone he saw the Head. He never told anyone how truly obedient he was. Why would he want to burden them, or give them reason to hate and despise him, after all he was just a lap dog.
No one noticed the dying look in the boy's eyes. No one ever did. But today was different, Briar looked at the boy, looked at the eyes that captivated him and saw the change, saw the pleading that went on behind those green orbs. Summon look over at him and smiled.
Who hurt you? Was all the French teen could think. Tell me who…
Gilbert Weillschmidt- Beast
Has the ability to morph into fauna. It is undetermined if he can transform into creatures of his own design
Seems to favour the form of a yellow chick. Air vents are now accommodated to stop birds from leaving through them.
When Subjects are to be taken outside, Subject beast MUST be sedated in order to stop him from attempting to escape
Is continuously rude to staff and attempts to bend rules whenever he can.
Has to be separated from Subject Amazonia on numerous occasions, the two seem to be forever fighting and only through sedative will they actually get along. Considering re education.
Is very protective of Subject Harmonic, Subject Beast will take the form of the chick and rest on his brother's head. They have successfully gone through a Joining and have shown they are a deadly combination. Successful wipe of memories was achieved and results documented.
Shows interest in Subject Glacier, still he is already being monitored this is not deemed a problem
