The Immortals

14 Eternal Secrets

I am in a small concrete room with nothing but a small bed in it. A large door consisting of silver and metal confines me. A collar made of silver sits around my neck,leaching my power from me.
The door to my room begins to open and two men in white security uniforms begin to approach me,both holding large steel batons. They begin to lead me through the facility I am in until we come to a surgical chamber where four people dressed for surgery are waiting by a operation table. The security personnel get me to lie down on the medical table where I am strapped down with multiple straps and metal clamps. The surgeons surround me,discussing between themselves upon what to do to me first. One surgeon begins to loosen all the clamps and straps so my limbs have a little space. Eventually they fall silent,one of them retrieving a small syringe containing a light blue liquid from a nearby table. They remove the silver collar and immediately inject whatever the syringe contains into my neck. Almost immediately I feel myself beginning to change into my beast form,the small gaps left around my limbs quickly filled by my now huge form.
The surgeons begin to remove the dark hair upon my fore-arm until it is bare skin. They then make a large incision. They blade they used I notice is silver,obviously used so that the wound would not begin to heal straight after the incision was made.
The wound begins to burn light that of lava touching skin. I feel my self begin writhe in pain,the straps and clamps keeping my limbs still so not to cause damage. I notice the surgeons beginning to take samples of my flesh,scraping it away with small scalpels,then placing the samples in small test tubes. One surgeon disappears for a few seconds but returns with a large needle attached to a length of tubing. They stick the needle deep into the incision which begins to draw blood from deep inside my arm into a large one litre glass tube. After about an hour the tube is almost full and I can feel myself beginning to feel dizzy and faint,my beast body beginning to fail due to the combination of the silver and loss of blood.
The surgeon that inserted the needle begins to remove it. I feel relief wash over me until a surgeon comes forth with a drill in their hand. I look down at the large wound in my arm just as they begin to drill into my highly dense bone. After a few minutes a hear my bone crack under the drills force and feel it enter. The pain is excruciating,far worse then anything I have felt before.

I sit up in the bed,staring at my arm,expecting there to be a large wound. I sigh of relief escapes as I remember that it was just a dream. I notice it is dark and everyone is still asleep,so I begin to go for a stroll around the base. I eventually find myself at the tech lab and notice a flickering light flashing from under the door. I open the door to find Harmony sitting by the holographic table which is projecting a video. I sit in the chair beside her. At this she jumps in surprise and switches of the projection only leaving a small section still alight. I read what is displayed,it says: Project Victor.
"What is this?" I ask Harmony.
Harmony touches the table,showing what was last projected. And what I see is a white Veil launching himself at a larger black one,both of their teeth bare.
"It is you and Victor. The humans were testing to see which one of you were stronger. I have not seen the end of the recording but according the the documents you won. May I finish the video?" Harmony says,looking really tired.
"Sure." I reply simply.
Harmony plays the video. Victor jumps at my beast form,but before Victor can do any damage I grab him out of the air by his throat and smash him upon the ground. Victor bites my arm,digging his teeth in my flesh. I see myself rip my arm out of Victor's jaws,causing flesh and blood to go flying. Before Victor can regain his feet,I see myself shove my clawed hand into Victor's side and tear a section out. Victor begins to whimper and I drop the piece of Victor and sit in the corner.
Victor stands and immediately blood begins to rush down the side of his body down his leg. I notice that the room on the video is like that of a large steel box,approximately twenty-five metres tall and wide.
"We fought like mindless beasts! Why?" I ask,my mind filled with shock from what I saw.
"Victor at that stage was a mindless beast,he had not obtained he's intellect yet. As for you,they threatened to kill Grace and hunt us all down." Harmony replies,sadness in her eyes.
"I see. Why was Grace even at the facility?" I ask,curiously.
"Grace is the humans first attempt at a super-soldier. They also wanted to use her ability to teleport to their advantage. She went through a living hell in their." Harmony states as she lowers her head.
Harmony pushes a folder full of paper towards me,upon it is written Subject 1. I open the folder to find a photo of Grace and all her statistics. I skip a few pages and stop on medical procedures. The page says that my DNA was used the enhance Grace.
"They used my DNA to augment her?!" I shout rather loudly.
"Look at her strength. She helped you to throw a massive tree and she can dent your armour. Technically she is a species of Veil,but not one that can change form." Harmony replies,not moving her eyes from the file.
"How does being augmented make Grace a Veil?"
"Your werewolf form's genetics were used on her and every other Veil that exists. You are the origin of the entire Veil race."
I feel my legs turn to jelly,all this information making my mind muddled. I sit back down and fall asleep.
