Drip....

Drip....

Drip....

A watery substance dripped through the tubes that connected the glass vials to one another.

Three scientists watched. One seemed quite professional and took notes as the liquid filled the clear, heart shaped capsule at the end of the connected vials

The second scientist was absently watching the process while chewing gum,

And the last one, the head scientist, watched from a distance, making sure things were going right.

Drip....

Drip....

Drip....

It filled fully, and the scientists disconnected their mechanism from their pseudo monster soul shaped capsule.

They hoped for this soul to help expand the monster population, an artificial soul to fill the amount of helping hands around the lab.

They looked at the clear, empty soul, before looking at their leader for their next set of instructions. They gave none.

The room was quiet, two of the scientists looked at the soul once more, wondering if this was all the experiment was, and if it really was that simple to make an artificial monster.

Assuming it was safe, the professional looking scientist walked over and gently picked up the pseudo soul, then suddenly

The power in the room immediately goes out, the scientist who once held notes was now gone without a trace, absorbed into the soul.

Papers began to fly across the room, the gum chewing scientist stared in fear at what had happened to his coworker, when suddenly the head scientist walked up behind them and pushed them into the soul, turning them into nothing but space just like their ally.

The head scientist smiled slightly at his genius. He knew it would a simple decision to lose two expendable scientists at the cost of something greater, however, now, they just watched, waiting for their soldier to wake up.

The soul finally seemed to calm down, then began to glow in flashes of green, yellow and red, making the room dark every time it changed color.

The head scientist gave a small nod of approval, his work and hypothesis had been correct, now all he needed was something natural for this soul to be unleashed.

A spotted puppy, barely the size of a basket ball was playing with their littermates. They didn't know exactly what they were playing, but they just knew they were having fun.

The puppy noticed out of the corner of their eye some big people taking some of their siblings, but didn't care too much about it, and kept playing, biting on their siblings' ear gently.

Eventually, they were taken and picked up as well. They had no clue where they were going, but they thought that they would probably be met up with their siblings.

They watched as they were carried down a white hall, noticing the windows on the walls, but not daring to look in, too excited to go where ever their litter had been taken.

The figure holding them entered into a room and gently set on a chair.
They were confused, where were their siblings?
The puppy was suddenly forced down onto the ground, in a lying position, and a metal bowl was placed on their head.

Their eyes widened, curiously. What was going on? Was this a game? If so this was a new game for them.

However, just as soon as the plate had been set on them, it had been taken off. The dog was picked up once more before they were carried to a separate room where they were united with their siblings.

Their tail wagged as they played with their siblings, however it wasn't long until the big person came back, picked out the puppy, and took them away again.

The puppy squirmed in a frustrated tantrum, but eventually calmed down.

Before they knew it, they were handed off to someone else, their hands had holes through them, and were not comfortable to be held in.

The man with holes in his hands examined the puppy before talking with the other man. The puppy didn't know what they were saying, but it probably wasn't important.

They waited impatiently to be set down, and they eventually were, however it was in a new room. A room that was less inviting than the one with their siblings.

The puppy looked back at the man with holes in their hands, tilting their head slightly out of confusion, before the door closed quickly behind them, before they could run out.

The puppy was confused, and looked around the cold, metallic room curiously, taking in the smells, before they eyed a bright object in the corner in the room

In the eyes of the puppy, it changed colors. It went from a brownish-Grey, to a yellow, to an almost white green.

Being as curious as they were, they walked up to the object. It was new, and they naturally felt the need to approach.

They felt a sense of comfort as they got close to it, so they got closer, and closer, and closer, until they eventually touched their nose to the heart-shaped object.

And any fear they had disappeared.

It was replaced by something else.

Anger.
