>>Damian<<

I make a left, running down a long hallway. Sirens continued to wail and the red light shone the walls. My chest was beginning to hurt and my feet were getting sore after running for quite a while. The entire place is chasing after me and the only thing I can do was run.

I was on my own...

I hear yelling coming from behind and I ran faster. I looked over my shoulder to see a group of people searching. They wore some black uniforms, which I'm assuming were the security for this place. I look back ahead to notice I was closing in at the end of the hallway. 

I made a choice to turn right and continue running and maybe look for someplace to hide. My lungs are burning now but I cant stop. I needed to continue and eventually find a way out of this place.

There were doors on each side of the hallway. Some had windows and some had caution tape on them. I wonder what was inside of them but not at this time. I'm looking for a door unlocked and maybe even less conspicuous for the people who are chasing me to not find me.

 "There he is!"

My heart jumped from the sudden voice breaking into my train of thought. I look over my shoulder again to see the same group from before right behind me. Then to notice they were closing in on me and quick.

I try to ignore the fact that was happening and tried concentrating on my mind to figure a way out, since I cant hide now. I'll only corner myself in and get myself caught. So again I make another turn down a hallway but this time instead of a wall ahead of me, there were double doors.

Hope began to fill my body. Finally I can escape from this damn place and go home...

"This is F4 reporting! We are in hot pursuit of #E3S507! He is heading towards the roof! I repeat he is heading towards the roof!"

"Roof?! Oh you've got to be kidding me right now! How the hell am I suppose to escape from there!"

I was inching closer to the double doors but not until I hear a bang. I duck my head not knowing where that sound came from or what is was from but there was no way in hell I was letting anything touch me.

"Red! What the hell are doing! Our job is to capture not kill you dumbass!"

"Now they're trying to kill me?! Just fucking fantastic!"

"We need to slow him down! It'll be easier to catch him if he shoot one of his legs! He wont be able to run!"

I was now a couple feet away from the double doors. I went into a full on sprint like it was the last thing I was going to do. I've quickly reached them and busted the doors open. I plan on shutting the door behind me quickly and put myself against it, unable for them to reach me. But that didn't really go according to plans...

The second I busted through the double doors I was met by an army of guys with black uniforms. They surrounded me quickly and each one of them held out a gun. I also notice that is was snowing. Snow was layered above another on the ground. 

Suddenly a large beam of light shone down on me. It blinded my eyes so I used my arm to cover them. Above me I see and hear a helicopter coming up from in front of the building I was standing on. It hovered over me and the security surrounding me as well.

"There's no point in running Damian"

A familiar voice catches my ear and I look around. Everyone looked the exact same, how the hell am I suppose to know who spo-

My train of thought was interrupted when I noticed a white figure stepping out from behind the security. A man in a white lab coat step in front of the crowd. I knew immediately who it was...

"You..."

It was the same guy who was in the room with me when I woke up...

"Please...come with me and this wont have to end badly"

Anger boiled up in my chest and I took a step back. There is no way I'm going back, I needed to get back to my family. They think I'm dead!

"Go to hell! There's no way I'm going with you!"

"I'm not sure if that's the right choice in this kind of situation"

"Right choice or not I'm not gonna be trapped here for the rest of my life"

I look over my shoulder, creating a plan in my mind. The only way out of this was out the door behind me but the hallways were full of people in black uniforms. If I go through there its likely for me to get caught and taken prisoner again.

I looked around my surroundings more carefully. Maybe there was another way to get out of this mess. I needed to find the lowest risk of dying during my escape...

"Damian please-"

"Why the hell am I here! How did I end up in a place like this!"

They were closing in on me slowly. I was running out of time. I try keeping my cool and tried focusing on my escape. I look above the see the helicopter and around me to see the security. I look over my shoulder once more to see the door behind me was blocked off.

I close my eyes and look down. I take a deep breath and open my eyes. I notice I was standing on top of something metal. I turn my head and moved my feet to see a latch. I was overwhelmed with relief but also with a large amount of rage...

"Are you fucking kidding me?! How did I not see this!"

 "Stop him! Before he enters the volt!"

I look back up to notice now that they were running towards me. I quickly unlock the latch and bolt open the door. I look straight down a dark whole leading somewhere I had no clue about. There's a 50/50 chance that i'll live or die...

"NO! DAMIAN DON'T!"

Well whatever I'd rather much die than be here for another second...

I jump inside and was greeted with darkness. I look up to see everyone surrounding the door. The light grew smaller and smaller till I wasn't able to see it anymore. I continued to fall and the fear of my death slowly faded.

"How deep does this thing go?"

It felt like I was floating and not falling anymore. It's so dark and creepy. Where the hell am I anyways? What did I jump into? I searched around, hoping to find any kind of light source-

My train of thought was interrupt when the darkness around me suddenly brightened into a bright white. My eyes stung and I groan in pain. I cover them with my hands and slowly peeked through my finger tips. 

Now there was white all around me. I removed my hands away from my face and look around me. There was still nothing to be found but pure whiteness now...

"COMMENCING TRANSFUSION"

My heart jumped from a sudden robotic voice. I searched around again but there was nothing to be found. Out of the corner of my eye I see something red flash. I look over and see a red beam of light coming at me. Quickly, I moved out of the way as it passed right by me, fast as lightening.

It then hit the whiteness and left a burnt mark on what now I was assuming was a wall...

"Trail Run Object Test Subject #E3S507"

I hear yet another voice but this one didnt sound as robotic. It was coming from a human being. In front of me a black screen popped up and I flinched from the sudden appearance. I continued to stare at it till I noticed the blackness of the screen was fading and turning into glass.

I then noticed 2 men with white lab coats on and each of them having a clipboard in their hand. They were on the other side of the glass as they continued scribbling onto their papers. None of them were Dr. Cannerts and I was a little scared now.

I had no clue where I was or whats going to happen to me but I honestly didnt want to find out...

"Test Subject #E3S507 please state your full name"

I look over at the men on the other side of the glass and sent them a death glare. They had a bored look on there faces and what I take of it, it seems like they've done this before and they're not surprised by my action.

One of them clears their throat and leans forward into a mic...

"Test Subject #E3S507 please state your-"

" I heard you the first time asshole"

One of them looked a bit surprised and the other looked upset and annoyed. The guy who spoke into the mic sighed and l leaned into it one more time...

"I dont think that would be a wise idea to say that. Continue to provoke us and you'll be sorry you've ever talked like that to us in the first place"

"Try me" 

They looked at each other with surprise and gazed back at me. The one that talked into the mic adjust his glasses and reached in for something in front of him. The other man took notes on his clip board and continued to examine what was happening...

"Very well then"

I hear something being switched and I brace myself. I may not know what's going to happen next but I doubt they'd hurt me. Dr. Cannerts stopped those men in black from hurting me, so how can these guys be any different.

"You cant hurt me, you cant even lay a finger on me"

The man with the glasses gazed up at me and gave me a confused look...

"What makes you think that"

"Dr.Cannerts forbid anyone in this place to hurt me"

"Well Dr.Cannerts does not have the authority to make those kind of orders only the Supreme Commander can"

"Supreme Commander?"

"It doesn't matter. Dr.Cannerts is not here so you can't be helped unless I'm given orders from my boss"

"Well then why did Dr.Cannerts stop the security from hurting me?"

"Well that's because security has to follow orders from the scientists running this place and because he's a big softy so fortunately he's not here to see what's about to happen next" 

"What are you going to do to me?"

"You ask too many questions"

The room changed then into a dark grey color and I was suddenly dropped to the ground. I land on my back and my lungs seized up. I gasp for air and my chest begun to hurt. I try to ignore the pain and I roll over to my side, pushing myself off the ground.

I look around to now see I was in a room. I guess earlier on I was floating when I thought I was falling. I thought the glass window was falling with me as well, honestly I don't know anymore. I stand onto my feet and stretch my body. I yawned tiredly and looked back over to the men behind the glass.

"Well thanks for the warning jackass"

He looks up and sent me an irritated glare. I don''t know why I was completely acting like this, it wasnt like me and I knew I was in a bad situation .I probably shouldn't have cussed him out...

"You'll be sorry you were ever born kid"

"Yeah yeah yeah! How about an I'm sorry and stop with the threatening its getting you nowhere. You know your a fucking pussy, having to stay behind a glass all safe an sound. How about you man up and fight me or are you a coward"

"I may not be able to beat you because of your abilities that you've been given but at least I'm smart enough to know what I'm actually doing"

I roll my eyes and wave him off. He takes notice of this and shot me an angry glare. He begins to move his hands around, clicking buttons and levers.

"Are you done because I'm still waiting for my apology, I'm getting bored in here with all your talking"

"Fine suit yourself...Lets have some fun!"

He pulls a large lever and pushes a big green button. The room around me went from a gray color to a blood red. I keep my guard up and look around sharply, I had no clue what was going to happen to me any second. The blood red room brightened a bit and my eyes almost stung at the sight.

I put my hands over my eye, making it look like I was blocking the sun from hitting my eyes. I look over at the men behind the window. One of them continued writing on their clipboard while the other continued clicking buttons and switching levers..

"Hope your ready for what's about to happen to you"

I send them an irritated smile and remove my hand away from eyes. I stand up straight and lower my head, trying to look intimidating. He looked at me surprised but also with a mixed emotion of anger...

"Try me..."

He grunts in anger and reaches above him. He pulls down yet another lever and clicks more buttons below him. I then hear something being switch on, as if it was beginning to power up. I look around the room to check if there was another off.

A couple second passed until I see something black on the wall. I keep my focus on it until I hear something snap right behind me. Quickly, I duck to the ground and look up to see a large laser hitting the black large dot in the wall. My eyes widen with surprise...

"Holy shit I guess this guy really meant it"

The laser disappears and I push myself off the ground and onto my feet. I turn around to face the men but to see that they were gone! Not just them but the glass was gone as well. It was like I was in an infinite room. 

"ALTERING SEQUENCE"

The entire room then changed, leaving from a blood red to a pitch dark black...

"DISINTEGRATION INITIATING"

"Wait what?!"

Next, the room suddenly became hot and my body felt like it was burning. I was light headed and I drop down to my knees. I begin to pant as I feel sweat dripping down my face. Then all of sudden, my shirt was on fire.

It wasn't huge but from the bottom it started sizzling upwards, fire burning it off. It then disintegrated, leaving my chest bare. I look down at my pants to see my pants doing the same. My eyes widen with shock and I try stopping it.

"What the fuck! What are you trying to do?! You fucking perv!"

"DISINTEGRATION SHUTTING DOWN"

The room started getting cooler and I fall forward, landing on my chest. I pat heavily and sigh in relief. I roll over on my back and push myself on my butt. I wipe the sweat off my face and look down at my pants to see the bottom completely burnt. I groan in complaint and push myself off the ground. 

I stand up and my head ached. I place my hand on my forehead as it began throbbing. I was so thirsty, I thought I was gonna die of dehydration. I look up to notice now that the room was white.

"ALTERING SEQUENCE"

"Now what!"

I part my legs, getting ready to dodge...

"Let's see how good your reflexes are"

"Pretty good if I do say so myself"

"Well let's find out"

Out of the corner of my eye I see something green pop out of the wall to my right. Quickly, I take a step back as I see the beam of light pass right in front of me. I duck afterwards, seeing a laser pass above me.

On my left a black laser shot out and I quickly roll back. One after another I dodged every laser that came. Slowly but surely I started noticing they started shooting out faster. My body was getting tired and I wasnt sure if I was going to last any longer.

Then, the lasers stopped shooting. They all disappeared and I looked around confused. The glass window popped up right in front of me again with the same men behind it. I looked at them irritated and stood up on m feet.

"What the hell are you trying to do? What are you trying to gain from this?"

"Not gaining, just trying to teach a lesson. Now...let's start the experiment"

"Experiment? What experime-"

"ALTERING GRAVITATIONAL PULL"

The room started shaking all of a sudden. I look around rapidly, scared about what's going on. My feet were then taken off the ground and I started floating. I try getting back to the ground but with all the fidgeting I was doing, I was only going higher and higher off the ground.

I just floating in the middle of the room and my senses were on guard. I stay still and waited...

"Initiating mutation to Test Subject #E3S507"

"What-"

I was then hit in the shoulder with a red laser and I yell in pain. I push myself in the air trying to to move. I place my hand on my shoulder then remove it to see blood covering my palm. I look at my shoulder and my eyes widen in horror. 

A whole was created...but before I could react another laser was shot through my right lower back. I hiss in pain and look down to see the laser going through me. Another was also shot through my chest. I gag in pain and see blood being shot out of my mouth.

"NO! STOP! YOU'LL KILL HIM!"

A sudden familiar voice came to my ears. I was tired and I try forcing my head to look up but I was too weak. But I was able to look up and see Dr.Cannerts pushing the men away from the controls in front of them. He leans forward and presses a button, shutting down the lasers and dropping me on the ground.

My vision began to blur and I was dropped to the ground. My shoulder and my lower back began to burn tremendously but I wasn't able to react. My body was too tired to do anything now. I wanted to regain my focus but my eyes refused. Dr.Cannerts busted through a door and into the same room as me. The infinite white room then turned back into the gray room I was in before.

He runs and falls onto his knees in front of me. He rolled me over onto my back and gazed into my eyes. I was trying to look at him but I was loosing consciousness. He quickly reaches into the pocket of his lab coat and pulls out a glass vial with a yellow liquid in it.

He then takes out a needle and places it in the vial, pulling the liquid out of it. Once he was done he takes the needle out and immediately jabs it into my neck. It was excruciatingly painful and I grunt in discomfort. He removes it and tosses it to the side. 

Then....I slowly fade out of consciousness...

>>Timeskip<<

I wake up in bed with a bright light shining down on me. Everything looked blurry and unsettling. I hear beeping from some sort of machine so I slowly turn my head to see a heart monitor. Next to it was an IV and I look down at my arm to see a needle pierced into it. I noticed my arm looked a bit bigger but then again maybe I was hallucinating. I groan from a huge headache that I had just received and I try pushing myself up, wanting to sit up.

"Woah woah take it easy there"

I grab my head and try searching for the voice I had just heard. My vision was still blurry but I see someone placing their hands on me, trying to push my back down. They were wearing something white. 

My vision began to clear up and I see Dr.Cannerts right next to me. I take a moment to process everything and what was going on. Then I remembered and I quickly hit his hand away from me. I jump out of the bed, on the opposite side from him.

"Hey Damian calm down now-"

I scan my surroundings and tried figuring out where I was this time. It's looked like I was in some sort of nurse's office, a heart monitor was next to the bed I was just in and next to that was an IV hanging on a metal pole. I look back at Dr.Cannerts standing up from the chair he was just sitting in and slowly making his was around the bed towards me.

"Stay away from me!"

"Damian calm down I'm only here to help"

"Help? HELP?! Since when did you ever help me when I got into this stupid mess!"

"Look I know your angry but if you keep yelling  the guards outside will come in and put you down so I'm only trying to do you a favor. Just lay back down and we can talk everything out"

"No thanks I'd rather leave"

I look around to see of course a door but if I went through there then the guards Dr.Cannerts was talking about will be out there waiting for me. I search for an exit other than the door, to find a window.

With no hesitation I run over and move the curtains aside. I find the lock that was once on it and broke it off with my bare hands, on accident. I slide the glass and push it open. I look up to now notice there were bars blocking me from escaping. 

I place my hands on the bar stubbornly but only to be electrocuted and fall back on the floor. Dr.Cannerts rushed over to me and help me up. I push him away not wanting him anywhere near me and look back at the window, figuring out if there was another way...

"It's no use, Those bars were specifically made to keep patient's in and to keep them from escaping, there's no way around it"  

I stand there in front of the window hopeless and also on the verge of tears. I turn around and just begin to walk towards my bed. Out of the corner of my eyes I see a light flash, I turn my head to see a mirror leaning against a wall not to far from me.

I notice something was off and I begin to walk towards it.

"Damian I really think you shouldnt-"

"Shut it before I knock your teeth out"

He sealed his lips and I stop right in front of the mirror. Now there was definitely something off. I gaze at myself through the mirror to notice my body was quite different. I had one of those hospital gowns on so I untied the knot behind my neck and slowly remove the cloth off my body.

I dropped it, letting it hit the ground not caring if I was naked or not. My eyes widen with shock when I see my entire body had changed. I was sort of scrawny before but from what I saw through the mirror I was muscular. I notice there were marking on my shoulder so I turn around and look over to see a tattoo was embedded into my skin.

I search further down my back to see yet another marking, another tattoo, but it looked more like a tag. They were bar codes with numbers and letters underneath. I search around my body to see yet another tattoo on my forearm, circling around my arm. They were roman numbers and some letters as well.

I notice to see a large wound in the middle of my chest. A bandage was covering it up though. Everything that I was seeing was on my upper body and I had pants on so I dont know if there's anything on my legs...

"What did you do to me!"

"Well we're still making modifications to you so dont think you'll be like this permanently"

I turn around to face him and walk up to him. I notice that I was taller than him because before I was tiny compared to him. I probably grew a couple more inches...

"What the hell are you trying to do to me"

"I'm afraid I cant say"

"Bullshit!"

"I'm sorry but I don't call the shots here I'm only following orders"

"Oh yea? From who! Tell me!"

"My boss obviously I can't deny his instructions"

"Why are you doing this? Wh-What is your fucking boss trying to gain?"

"I cant say but I can promise one thing"

"And what's that?"

"I'll tell you everything once it's all over"

I back away from him slowly holding myself back from killing him. Anger was rushing all over my body but I kept my composure. I sat on the bed  and face palm into my hands, receiving a slight headache.

Dr.Cannerts walks to me and sat right beside me. He places his hand on my shoulder and I look up at him confused. He sends me a soft smile but I quickly look away. He removes his hand off and stands up heading towards the door...

"Well I'll come check on you later but I suggest you get ready"

I stood up on my feet and stretched my shoulders...

"Why?"

He places his hand on the door knob getting ready to leave...

"Because once I leave this room in a couple minutes the guards outside will escort you to another room and I'll meet you there soon"

"No way! You've got to be kidding me!"

"I'm sorry but I don't have a choice"

"Can't you do anything about it?!"

"I wish I can Damian I really do..."

And with that he leaves the room and shuts the door right behind him. I stood there horrified and collapse on top of the bed behind me. My body was shaking because I was nervous. I didn't want to go through the pain that I once did before, it was unbearable.

I lay down on my back and sigh and I take deep breaths, trying to calm myself...

I close my eyes and drifted off to sleep once again...
