RED

Prologue

    ??? POV

   The dim red light in the containment room hardly did anything tonight. We're all very, very aware of this creatures colouring and how this light is very much allowing it to clearly camouflage. It's red patchy colouring, and stitched together limbs. It's beady red eyes seemingly floating by the far wall, burning holes into my soul.

   I swallowed nervously, tightening my lab coat, before sitting down on the spinning chair in front of the examination window. The red eyes following each and every move I make. Pressing the button to allowing Test Subject 236T1 to see me.

   'It can see us even without the access of the clear window?', I thought nervously. I locked eyes with it, instantly regretting the decision at it rippled into existence and threw itself against the window. I jumped back, toppling out of my chair.

   Two guards in all black with large black guns and machetes, rushed into the room at the loud bashing of the viewing window. They held guns trained on TS 236T1.

   "Orders to take out?", one of them asked.

   "No! We need the creature alive!", I yelled, hurriedly pressing the button to turn off the window.

   TS 236T1 backed away, returning itself to camouflage and huddling in the corner. It let off a chirping clucking sound, before even it's red beady eyes vanished. The soldiers relaxed, lowering their weapons, before turning to me.

   "Get the tests and shit over!", the first one hissed.

   "We don't want the fucker to get out, so hurry it up! We got orders to kill the 11ft bastard", the second soldier grumbled. And with that they left me to stare at the seemingly empty room alone.

   'Fine,', I started to think, taking my seat again. "Time to finish up the tests, and put you out of your misery big guy...", I muttered, taking out a tablet to get started.
