the newest prisoners

1

well this is a nice change of scenery"

"its a prison cell"

" i was being sarcastic." i looked around the small room. lets see....small rock hard cot, iron bars, spotless, and the customary cold exposed toilet.. yep. definitely capital issue prison cell. "this is the last time I'm letting you choose the escape route. "here lets go through the alley, no one will catch us there..." well, what a great plan that was."

"hey it would have worked.... if there wasn't a house fire on the other side, how was i to know? and besides its not like your plan was better."

"shut up Night."

"no. remember last time, you had us go through the sewers. THE SEWERS!"

"hey we didn't get caught. "

"no, but we stank for a week."

"you always stink"

"SILENCE" a loud booming voice called, the command reverberating down the hall and the cells, we fell silent. a small group of soldiers, maybe four or five at most, came in. they unlocked night's cell first, grabbing him, and pushing him out into the halls. then they came for me. they pulled me out if my cell and threw me into the wall.

"awe guys but i haven't gotten a chance to look around my new cell. " they cuffed me, and began to force me down the hall. "ooh yay, field trip- owwww" wow, these guards were rough. we were shoved down the halls, right...left...left...straight...right...left...elevator.....straight....left.... left...straight... doors... scientists a lab coat...left...left...straight.... "lab" sign...left...right... wait what?!?!?!?!?! a lab! they are going to experiment on us? what?

"hey, wait what are you gonna do to us. "

"silence."

"no, Night! run! where are you! night, please! no, don't do this, please no!!!!!!"

"i said SILENCE!" the guard following me slapped me. "keep walking" i went silent, tears streaking down my face, why us.... why us.... they shoved us into two small cells, no cages, oh no. the guards left us.

"Raymond?" i whispered, "are you there?" i knew it was stupid, saying his real name, but i couldn't help it. this was a situation i''d never been in before.

"Vanny, im sorry, i'm so sorry. i promise we'll be OK."

"how can you be sure?"

"simple, listen"

i closed my eyes and listened, i heard small quiet voices, voices of children and teenagers. "what..."
"there must be other children here, so we'll be OK."

" Raymond, i-" i was cut off by the door opening and two guards walking in, followed by a hospital slab.... they opened my door

"NOOOO!!!!!! NO NO NO NO" i kicked and fought and struggled, but to no avail, they pulled me out by my arms.
"Shadow! it will be OK, go with them, let them take you. it will be okay!!!!!!!!" he shouted, what? but my years of listening to him told me to obey, i went limp in the guards arms, they laid me down, and strapped my arms and legs to the slab. and began to roll me away.

"im sorry Vanny, i promise you will be okay! im sorry this has to happen"

what? what does that mean? Raymond... " where are you taking me? what are you going to do to me?" no response.... i started to cry when we passed a sign saying "experimentation" they pulled me into room, and left. then a doctor showed up, "don't worry Vanessa, when we're done. you'll be a brand new person. and you'll see Ellie again"
