Erik's POV
I nearly fall to the ground as I came around a corner. I was sprinting down a long hallway searching for another elevator as Kevin and his men chase after me.

My heart is pounding, my shaking legs stomp the floor, and my eyes search everywhere for an exit. I had to run. I needed go. I must get out of this hell. I hear their shoes stomping the ground as if I was the sheep and they were the lion chasing it's prey.
"ERIK?" I look to my left and see my dad, he too looked scared. "DAD, WE NEED TO GET- AGH!" I was tackled by Kevin and knocked to the ground. "Put your hands back!" He grunts and handcuffs me. It wasn't getting caught that hurt, it was the betrayal I just saw in my father.

I stare at him feeling so hurt

I stare at him feeling so hurt. How could he have just done that? He called my name to distract me and make me think he cared... but he didn't care about anything other than the prize waiting for him.

Kevin and another man pick me up and shove me forward. We must've been heading into the testing room now.

I'm slammed into a cold surface and my shirt is sliced off. I feel the cool air hit my hot flesh as the room temperature from inside the office to this room were significantly different.
"Untie him" Kevin says to somebody as I hear a key clicking against the cuffs. I move my wrist but a hand was instantly wrapped around the back of my neck to hold me down. "Hurry, we don't want him to get in any more trouble." I try to sit up but Kevin hits my back so hard, making me grunt loudly from the impact. "Kevin, don't hurt him!" That voice belonged to my father. "He did this to himself. He needs to know what actual pain is." My eyes go wide at Kevin's words. "Pain"
That caught my attention. "Alright tie him down." I'm pulled back so I'm standing up straight on my feet again.
"Here's the needle sir" a man in scrubs says to Kevin as he held a syringe. "And now we shall begin "
I look at Kevin with fear. "I won't make it" he rolls his eyes. "Only one way to find out, Erik... don't fight me on this or you will regret it. " I look back at Dad as he helps lift me up onto the cold surface. My wrists are instantly tied down along with my ankles. "Dad?" I call as Kevin smirks down at me. "Daddy's right there, child. Now enjoy your rest " that's when the slight pain of a needle punctures my skin. "Let the crow sing" he whispers then removes the needle. "Everyone stand back" he orders as everyone steps back about five feet.

For the first twenty seconds, nothing happens. I actually had some hope that this may not work at all, but I was wrong. My eyes close and my fists clench together as my heart starts racing. I feel a pain in my chest as my legs start shaking and my head is instantly slammed against the cold surface with a loud thump. "Dad?" I call as he runs over to me. "Erik, it's ok." I look at him with wide eyes. "Dad, I can't handle it!" I yank on the straps around my wrists starting to panic as the pain in my chest instantly gets worse. "DAD, IT'S HURTING ME!" I yell in pain as Dad looks behind him. "YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM! HE'S IN PAIN." He yells but I can't make out what Kevin said back to him. "Son I'm so sorry " he then steps away. "DAD! PLEASE HELP ME. DAD I'M DYING!" My cries for help were ignored even by my own father. I guess I'm really gonna die. "DAD HELP ME!" I call one last time before something inside me explodes. Darkness arose and I died....
