ESCAPE

Testing

Amanda and Wooly were dragged out of their cell, the guards taking extra precautions with Amandas bondage. They chained her muzzle, her waist, ankles and hands and having a proper grip on them. Amanda didn't even bother to fight anymore, it's practically no use. Wooly on the other hand was just cuffed like normal since he didn't have the guts to fight back, not even to save his own friend.

They were both lead to testing room #82, except they only unchained Amanda but not Wooly. The room contained a chair, table, and a random cage with a rat in it. Wooly looked confused when they forced the girl to sit down, and took Wooly out of the room. "H-Hey wait!" Wooly exclaimed. But they didn't listen and practically dragged him in another room, where there were scientists at their own computer stations looking through the window to the next room where Amanda was in.

"No..." Wooly whispered, lightly shaking his head in disbelief. What are they going to do to her?

4 people in white hazmat suits came into the room, and stuck some wires onto Amanda's head. Then spread out in each corner to make sure she doesn't try anything. Wooly looked around the room nervously, his mind and heart racing. The same man in the suit came up to a microphone, and tapped it getting ready to speak. "Aright Amanda, what I want you to do is to try and make that rat disappear, can you do that sweet heart?" The man asked. But Amanda got a little pissed by what he called her.

"Stop calling me sweet heart!" Amanda said through gritted teeth. The lines on the monitor that was connected to Amanda's head, was starting to jitter higher. The man in the suit got a little worried. "Okay Amanda, imma need you to calm down, and do as told." The man urged. Amanda sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I need you to try your best okay, swee—I mean...Amanda." The man shook his head. In the room Amanda was in, she can see the window but it was nothing but a mirror to her since she can't see in. But she knew people were watching. Amanda glared at the people in hazmat suits, then slowly jumped her eyes back to the chunky rat who was currently eating some rat food.

     Amanda had to concentrate mentally. She's done this in her own world before, maybe she can make the rat disappear out of reality. But why do they want her to do that? What's the reason? What's the point?

     Amanda placed her hands on the table like she was being interrogated, and focused hard on the rat. Meanwhile in the other room, the monitor was beeping repeatedly. Wooly looking at the screen in fear. The sheep boy turned back to the window. "C'mon Amanda." He whispered to himself, cheering for her as if she would be able to make a portal to escape.

     Amanda's hand muscles tightened, a vein beating on her forehead and neck. She quickly breathed in and out as she was running out of air. The lights in there flickered just a tad, and the man brought no attention to it. But Wooly did, as he recognized that type of flickering. Wooly became worried, his ears flopping down. He tried to get on his tiptoes (or hooves) to have a better look, but he was too small. He could only see Amanda's puffs.

     Suddenly, the rat jittered aggressively as if it was glitching out. The lights began to short circuit, the monitor beeped like crazy, and the computers started acting up. "U-uh—sir—" a woman scientist tried to speak, but the man in the suit cut her off. "Yes, I know!"

     "What's happening?" Another asked themselves. Everyone tried to reboot their computers or shut them down, but the screens started spazzing out. Wooly stepped back a little looking terrified, his eyes darting around the room. The monitor started spazzing out of control, and started short circuiting and smoking. Everyone started to freak out.

     "What the hell is going on?!" The man in the suit shouted. The guards beside Wooly also seemed terrified as they slowly backed up. Everything started flickering frantically and uncontrollably. Amanda's fists formed into a ball as she death stared to rat, as it began the glitch. Making high pitched squeaking. The people in hazmat suits had no idea was to do, except for one who was closest to her. They ran up to Amanda and attempted to touch her shoulder, but a sudden shock wave ran through their arm and recollected in pain.
