Book 1: Eyes of the Dead Don't Lie

Chapter 16

 Experiment 18 was a young guy my age. Or... At least how I look. He had red hair, pale skin, and a odd color of gray, eyes. His messy red hair covered his eyes. He was a little shorter than average. He had a look on his face that showed that he was trouble.

 Experiment 19A was a girl that was a year older than how I looked like. She was tall, and a kind face she was pretty. She looked at Experiment 19B with care and love. 19A's hair was shoulder length, and a shade darker than mine. She looked like someone who would always be worthy of your complete trust.

 Experiment 19B looked eleven, and a stubborn, grouchy expression. She had really long, dark brown hair. It looked very thick. Experiment 19B was most likely 19A sister. I could tell because the way the two stood side by side, reminded how I used to stand beside Mieary. But the two didn't really look alike. The two also had strange blue eyes, indicating they were like me.

 I was angry someone would kill a young child. I looked at the three newbies. They looked at us in turn. Finally the older girl spoke up.

 "Hello! You must be the other three Experiments! My name is Flo, and this is my sister Arelle. Smile!" She said, scolding her younger sister. The younger sister just pouted, and looked away, stomping her foot. "I must apologize for her grouchiness. She can be really nice, when she wants to. And this stupid guy is Clom," Flo scowled at Clom. He just smiled politely at her. Flo put herself between him and Arelle.

 "My name is Dynn. This is my sister Ren. And this silly girl is Phoenix," Dynn said. I stomped on his foot for calling me silly. I noticed that no one was paying any attention to Ez.

 "And this is my friend Ez, he's one of the scientist's son," I say, grabbing his hand in mine. H gives me a grateful look, and I smile at him. Cara sees us, but doesn't show her thoughts. Sure points at each of us in turn.

 "Experiment 13, Experiment 17A and 17B. I expect you to show them around. Attend your Experiment tests, and you can have a free day the rest of the day," Cara says, then leaves. We all started to walk to basement level six, but Ez hesitated. 

 I stopped with him. I waited for him, my hand still in his."I'm sorry Phoenix. I forgot that my dad wanted to see me after training practice. I'll see later," Ez said, letting go of my hand. I started to protest,  but he was already gone.

 I knew that his dad didn't ask to see him. Ez had told me his dad didn't care about him. Ez was lying to me.
