• Part 2: The Experiment and The Breakout

    I woke up in a cage with steel bars that had a electric field around it. They really were trying to keep me here, locked up in a cage like some animal. I wonder if they got the others as well, I sat there with my eyes closed before i tried to sit up. That was a bad idea, the cage was so small that when I was half way up I hit my head. Then I remember that the Group had so kindly left me with the tornado. I was here alone, I was the only one in a cage. Or well i may have not been alone I couldn't really tell since it was pitch black in the room. A door opened and bright light flooded into the room. A tall male figure stood in the door way, it was the same guy who captured me. He was holding something, a tray maybe. I couldn't tell. "It's time to see how you work." The man in the White coat said. A few guys with tasers and guns walked toward my cage. One grabbed my neck and hooked a collar like object around my neck. Probably a shock collar. He opened the cage door and put large metal handcuffs on my wrist. The man who put the collar on me grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the cage, I knew better then to run. "come on now, were just going to give you a test." On man said. "Hmp. I hope its not math. I suck at math." I said back to the man. One of the guys with a gun pushed me toward the door, then the man with the white coat grabbed my arm and lead me toward another door. He opened the door and I saw a giant test tube, a treadmill, and some type of punching bag like object. "We're going to need you to step here, please." The man said pointing to the treadmill. He took a little of suction cup-like-things and put them on my arms, legs, chest, and head, and turned it on. "Run until we tell you to stop." Pfft, that was easy. I was used to running. I started to jog and slowly it turned into a run, out of the corner of my eye I could see him righting on a clip board. After about thirty minutes he told me to stop and said to come over to the punching bag object. "I want you to hit it as hard as you can, got it?" I nodded my head and drew back my arm. I hit the bag with everything I had, and the bag fell backward and hit the ground. "Good, good...Well, Its time for you to go back to your cage." He said with a smile. "Ha ha, your nuts if you think I'm going back there." I told him with a Wow-Your-An-Idiot look. "Don't resist, just go on back to your cage like a good little boy." He said starting to get irritated. "I'm not good, I'm not a "little boy, And I did what you wanted so why can't I leave?" I said starting to get a little irritated myself. "Fine, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. You choose." The man said. I sat there for a minute before saying "How about....Neither way!" I knew that would get him, and I was right. He gave me a Your-Going-to-Get-Your-Butt-Kicked look and motioned for the guards to come in here. More men with guns and tasers came into the room and huddled around me. All at once I could hear the tasiers buzz. Next thing I knew I was back in my cage. I wasn't the only one in the room any more, someone else was in here. I couldn't really tell if it was a boy or a girl, so I said "Hey! Who are you?" The person didn't even move. "Hey! I'm talking to you…answer me." I demanded. I hate it when people don't listen. finally the person moved, and as soon as it spoke I could tell it was a girl. "What are you yelling about?" She said. " I want to know your name, and I want it now." I told her. There was a pause before either of us spoke, it felt kinda weird after you think about it. It felt like we were animals, in cages because we were a different species. "My names is Rein, Rein Hallow. And who are you?" So her name was Rein? Well. Okay then. "Well Miss Rein Hallow, my name is Daniel. Daniel Stag. Like a deer." I told her. She looked at me for a minute like I was a idiot, then just nodded. "Okay Miss Hallow, I need to get out of here. My friends are waiting for me. I'm not sure where they are waiting, I just know they are." She looked at me again with a stupid look. "Don't call me Miss, and if your getting outta here I want outta here too." She said with a 'smart' look. "Fair enough, since i told you i knew you would want out to." I looked at Rein, then back at the door. We were in cages, like some animals. What kind of people could do this? I thought. "So what can you do? Like do you have special Skill, or 'Talent' as some may call them." I asked her. If we were going to be partners I might as well get to know her a little more. "Well Stag, I can speak to animals." Rein looked at me and I just kinda starred at her. "Umm...are you kidding or...?" I looked at her with uncertain face. She just looked at me, and said "Yes I'm serious. Why should I lie about my own 'Talent' or 'Skill' or whatever you call it?"?" Rein looked at me with a serious face. “No, I suppose you don’t. I’m sorry that I doubted you at all Rein.” I looked her in the Face with a apologetic look. Rein looked back at me and we both sighed. There was Nothing we could do at the moment. We would have to wait until both of us were Taken out to be given test. I sat there, crooked in my cage until I fell asleep. My dreams were filled with memories of the events that had happened that day. All in one day, I lost everything. I lost my friends, my family, my freedom, everything. I was trapped here, never to escape. But I couldn’t tell Rein that. I had to act like I still had hope, even though I knew it was impossible.
