Area 41

Chapter 2: Subject 30

Laughter.... all I can remember is his laughter. As if killing me was amusing to him. I remembered being dragged off toward my room and layed out onto my bed. The next day I watched as my wounds from the Training Room finally started to heal. I still can't believe what happened to Aaron and why he was so important to Swein.Maybe if I had changed then would it be different. All I knew was that he wasn't like anyone here and that he might be the key to breaking out of Purgatory. After an hour of thinking of a plan to find Aaron the door buzz as a girl ran into the room. She had caramel brown skin but lighter as if she was already dead with black short hair. Her eyes were hazel and tensed as if someone was always following her. I could tell she was a vampire from the glowing of her eyes. ''Mia what are you doing in here,' I said while walking over to the door. ''Sorry Jason, just had to get away from the guards and Arthur I owe him to much,' Mia said while walking pass me toward Aaron's bed. ''You had a roommate?,' She asked while bouncing on the bed. ''Yes and I need your help,' I asked while sitting in my bed. ''I need you to set up a meeting with Arthur,' I asked which seemed like the worst idea I ever had. Arthur was a snake literally Dr. Swein wanted to make a Kanima which is a vicious giant humanoid lizard. ''Are you kidding striking a deal with Arthur is like striking a deal with the devil himself,' She says while hopping to her feet in a frustrated manner. ''Look I don't like the idea either but he's the only one that knows the layout of Purgatory,' I said while standing up to open the door. ''Is this about yesterday when you got your ass handed to you,' Mia said with a laugh. ''How did you know about that,' I asked in wonder of how she got that information. The only people who were in the training room was me and Aaron before Dr. Swein and his goons took Aaron. ''This is Purgatory Jason, when something happens everyone knows,' Mia says before walking off to the lunch room. After thinking of a way to get Arthur to help me I started to walk toward the lunch room until I was stopped by Jada. " So what is this I hear about you almost getting killed by a kid in the training room," Jada said while trying to keep pace with me. "It's true but I didn't know he was that strong, " I said while walking down the stairs that lead to the lunch room. As we entered the lunch room I noticed Mai surrounded by werewolves the size of giant linebackers and Arthur with his tail around her throat lifting her a inch's off he ground. ''Last time we met you owed me 10 creds, now we have a problem,' Arthur said while using his tail to squeeze her neck. Arthur was large vanilla colored kid, he was about 6'10 and had blond short hair with reptilian yellow eyes. He made use of his height by gaining muscles. '' I'll give you your money ... please... I can't breathe,' Mia said while squirming in the air. ''Stop Arthur,' I said while walking over to him, my eyes glowing a dark cold blue. I knew that if I didn't do anything that she'll die, I couldn't let that happen to one of my friends. ''Jason it's been a while, but your going to have to wait your turn,' Arthur said before all three werewolves stood in front of me growling like dogs. ''You don't want to do this,' I told them as they started to crack their knuckles. I noticed the guards seeing what was happening but they didn't want to stop a fight involving four vicious werewolves. The first werewolf was able to slash at my face while I wasn't looking but because of my healing the wound disappeared. ''That's all you got,' I growled before tackling him to the ground. I could feel the eyes of the other kids staring at me wondering what's going on or betting on the victor. I was able to rip the werewolf's trachea killing him instantly. I knew that it was wrong to kill this kid, but in Purgatory their is no right or wrong theirs only survival. The weak are killed while the strong survived, that's what I was taught when I first got to this man made hell. After seeing the giant werewolf body not moving the other two werewolves hesitated to attack. Until both of their eyes widened as if they just realized something awful. The two werewolves fell to the ground face first while Arthur stood behind them both claws dripping paralyzing liquid. ''If you want a job done you have to do it yourself,' Arthur said before paralyzing Mia while his body started to cover itself with green scales until he looked like a smaller version of the lizard from the amazing spider-man. ''I was wondering when you show your true face Arthur,' I said while walking toward him. Arthur ran toward me with intentions to kill me. As his paralysis claws lashed at me but he was to fast for me to dodge and was able to stab me in the arm. "My paralysis venom has entered your veins can feel it Jason," Arthur said in a snake like tone. And he was right I could feel my muscles beginning to stiffen. And as I fell to my knees hopeless, Arthur stood over me with with one of his claws dripping my blood on the ground. "Any last words before.you die Jason," Arthur said before I seen someone grab him by the neck and and ripped it completely off. "It seems like you can't do anything with out me unless it includes dying which you could have done yourself," Jada said while helping me to a table. Then as if out of nowhere three guards came up to us with handcuffs in their hands. "Where are you taking us," Mia asked as the guards pushed us toward a huge service elevator where four other teens were waiting. Their was a boy that was about 5'6 in height and his skin was a light brown. He had curly long brown hair and had duck tape covering his mouth."What's Nick doing here," Mia said to me while tilting her head toward him. I remember now, Nick was a siren that must have been why he had the duck tape on his mouth. As we entered the elevator one of the guards pressed a button with the letters BF over it. Nick tried to speak but the tape was smothering the words. But I knew he was wondering the same thing as the elevator doors closed. Where were we going?
