I'm not sure how long it's been this way, but when I finally got out of the lab, it was horrible. People were smiling, it was sunny, and everything was so... serene. It made me furious. How they just carry on like that. when the world is at stake. Until I discovered.. no one knows anything.
"Hold her still!" I hear one of the muffled voices yell. I squint my eyes at the light in my face, trying to catch a glimpse at the scientists. I can feel my body involuntarily convulsing, yet I still feel peace from the drugs. My eyelids are trying to fall asleep but I fight it. I hate to fall asleep because when I wake up, I'm sore, have no energy, and sometimes when I wake up I have new alterations But I know I can't win the fight. Then everything goes black.

I lay in the center of my cage, looking up at the ceiling. It's been a couple days since they came for me. I'm surprised. Usually they call me in at least every other day, if not more. I hear a cell door open and I look up, but it's not me. It's the pretty-but-odd girl next to me. She's backed into a corner, as if she's hoping that by pressing herself against the bars she'll slip right through them. But as long as they're not coming for me, I'm not interested. I go back to staring at the ceiling.

I press myself as far back into my cage as I can go. This can't be happening. This can't be happening... This is the second time today that they've pulled me out to experiment. I was so weak that I couldn't even stand after the next session. Who knows what they'd do to me this time? I kicked and screamed as they dragged me away.

I hold my hand up, letting the flame dance on my finger tips. I heard some guards walking towards me and quickly extinguish it. I glare at them intently as they walk by, but they don't look towards me. One day I think One day

They throw me back into my cell and I land, dazed and still a little high. Clay runs to the bars separating us. "How you holdin up?" he asks. I look at him, squinting my eyes, try really intensely to focus on him. "Claaay...?" I say. He sighs, "Those damn labbies. We have to get out of here." Everything he says sounds far away and echoy. "Onyx? Onyx?!" His voice sounds suddenly frantic. What's happening? I look at my arm and I know I'm hallucinating because my arm appears to be turning to stone, becoming one with the ground I'm on. I try to move, but my legs are heavy and I can't move them. My door creaks open and some Lab coats stab me in the throat with a needle and I feel the numbness going away. Unfortunately, it also makes me nauseous and when I try to sit up I vomit and pass out again.

I'm strapped to a table, in a white medical room. So instead of testing it's experimenting. Great. They come up to me with some puke gray-green liquid in a syringe. I start to struggle. I don't want anything else in my body. But they hold me down and inject the liquid into my arm. It burns as it races through my body, making me scream. But after a few minutes, the agony is over as I pass out. They drag me back to my cage and throw me in like a ragdoll.

I wake up to a hissing sound right next to my ear. The air smells a little off too. I snap open my eyes to see a small pipe right next to my face. "Onyx!" I hear Clay yell. I jump up to the bars. "Hold on! I can get us out of here!" I yell, using my mind to bend the bars open to my cage and Clay's. No guards are seen anywhere near here. Something's definitely up here. There's pipes leading into every cell, but everyone else is out cold. "What is this?" I ask Clay. "I don't know," he responds, then gasps and takes off down the hall. I follow him and we look for others who are awake, but I know he's looking for someone in particular, Kanya. We arrive at her cell, but all my hopes are shattered. She's sleeping. Clay hits the bars with a clang. "Wake up! Wake UP! Kanya! Do you hear me?! You wake up right now!" he cries. I hate to see this, he looks so much more... vulnerable. "Open them!" he screams at me. He looks so... scary. "Open the bars! We have to get her out of there!" I here a groan beside me and our heads both snap towards her. "Calm down I'm awake already!" I bend the bars open. "C'mon! We'll explain on the way!" I say, holding out my hand to her.

I wake up to frantic cries from my brother, Clay. "Calm down, I'm awake already," I moan, sitting up. The bars bend in front of me and I'm pulled out of my cage. "Mind giving me a little help?" I hear from beside me. I look over to see Allan sitting up in his cage. All I really knew about him was his name, since we didn't talk much, but if anyone else was awake, we might need them, especially someone who looked as strong as him. "Do you mind?" I asked Onyx, motioning towards the bars.

I nod and pull them apart as well. "Still no guards," Clay says, looking around. We all fall silent and all you can hear is the hiss of the gas. Whatever it was, it made the guards skedaddle. And whatever it was, it didn't seem to effect the four of us. They wanted super humans, but I don't think that's what they had in mind. "Which way do we go anyways?" I ask and we all proceed to look around. If we go left, there's a turn to the right and if we go right there's a fork. Simultaneously, Clay and Allan say "Let's go right!" "Let's go left!" Then they turn and glare at each other. Kanya and I exchange looks. "Hey!" I say, pushing the two apart. "We're going left!" Clay glares at me, obviously irritated I sided with Allan.

I grab my brother's hand. "C'mon, Clay, let's get out of here," I say. We walk quickly through the halls, turn after turn, until we come to a fork. To one side is a set of windowless doors. To the other, more hallway. I turn to look at everyone else. "What do you think?" Allan answered first. "I think we should take the hallway. There's no way that door leads to anything but trouble."

I nod in agreement. "Yes, I agree. we're probably too deep in to already have found a door out," I look to Clay to see his opinion. He looks so angry he's getting...hot. You can see the heat waves. "Well I think we should take the chance and go through the door. The hallway's probably just going to loop around or continue with the cages!" I just stare at him. Why is he so angry? He's never this angry...

"Why do you always have to take HIS side?!" I finally yell at Onyx, instantly feeling horrible about it, "I mean..." she looks... scared of me, "I didn't mean that..." Why did I have to go and do that? She turns away from my placing her hand on the door knob. I try to put my hand on her shoulder, but she forces me back, turning just enough and fast enough that a few tear drops flew towards me. She shoves the door open, everyone else follows her, silently. I can't let this happen again.
It's happening again... just like last time...

I take a moment to touch Clay comfortingly on the shoulder before following after Onyx through the door. I'm immediately met by something solid that makes me stumble backwards into Clay. "What the - " My sentence is cut short when I look up and see what made Onyx and Allan stop. We've walked into some kind of lab. But that's not the suprising part. All over the room, in different stages of development, were at least fifty babies. "What's going on here?" I whisper.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. A million questions run through my mind. What is this? What am I? Am I even real? How was I created? How were we ALL created? I hear a muffled "Hey!" to my right. I whip my head to see a man in a white hazmat suit. I push him to the wall pretty hard, angry... no, furious. I run at him, laying on the ground. "What is this CRAP?!" I yell at him, one hand ready to punch him, the other grab his clothes, pulling him to me.

Onyx gets really scary all of a sudden, although I can understand where she's coming from. I notice the man's suit has a hole in it. "Onyx..." I say softly as the man's eyelids start to droop. She ignores me, throwing the man to the side, grabbing his key card. "We're taking a detour," she says. "What?" I respond, "What are you saying? We have to just get out of here." "Ya Onyx, he's right," Allan speaks up too. "No! I have to know. You guys go ahead, but I have to know..." she's quieter now. She starts walking away towards the door. "Where are you even going?" I ask, she stops, "I- I'm not sure, but I have to find the files." "What files?" "The files the lab coats are always writing in!"
