Kryptid

Chapter 1 : pain

Alex pov:

I started biking home. I had to get away from school. Another headache was coming on and I knew what came after that. The abilities started 2 weeks ago and kept getting worse. I could feel people inside my head. Hear their thoughts. Once I even controlled someone. I only told one other person, my girlfriend daija and she freaked when I showed her and broke up with me. So much for being able to tell her anything.

It started raining. Great now I had to bike in the rain. I started off leaving my huge high school behind. Maybe today I would finally tell my mom what was happening. Maybe she could help somehow. As I got to the third intersection out of the five I passed I noticed a black suv was following me. It was strange because by the time i got done with my piano lessons and left the school no one was usually around this part of town. I stopped, waiting for the light to turn green even though there weren't any cars blocking my way. The suv pulled up to the intersection as well. I waved slightly. Suddenly the side doors burst open and 3 figures dressed in black jumped out and grabbed me. Before I could even scream one of them had their hand over my mouth as the other two hoisted me into the car. One of them pulled a needle out and went to inject whatever it had in it in my arm. I tried kicking it out of his hand but the other one had my legs pinned. The needle pricked my arm. Instantly my body started growing heavy. "Extraction successful. Project kryptid is a go" the driver of the car said. My vision started going black as the car started driving away. "Poor sonofa bitch" said one of the men and I passed out.

I woke startled from the dream memory. I was still strapped to the upright table with various tubes in my arms. Since I got kidnapped whoever did it had brought me here. They said they were going to turn me into the perfect weapon. That my powers would become unimaginable. So far they had just kept injecting me with this blue serum that made the constant pain in my head explode and knock me out. Then after I would wake up they would inject me with a red serum that would cause me to have horrible panic attacks, at least that's what I think they are, and for my body to be consumed by pain. I lifted my head up. No one else was in the room. Yet I knew soon the two doctors would come in and inject the red stuff into me. I couldn't handle this much longer. I was starting to go insane seeing things that weren't there. Hearing voices.

I heard The door behind me open. I tried to sense them with my mind but the only thing that happened was the headache got worse. They stepped in front of me the one the left holding the syringe. "Why are you doing this to me" I croaked my throat sore from screaming. "Save your energy. It'll be easier if you just give in to it" the one on the right said the voice deep and masculine. This was the first time they had answered. The on the right brought the syringe to my neck. "Please" I begged. She pushed the plunger down. Fire started spreading through my neck traveling throughout my body. Then the scene in front of me warped the doctors transformed into hideous creatures and the wall exploded revealing a fiery landscape. Don't scream fight it I told myself. Then it got worse the pain started. It was excruciating and I screamed out. The landscape got worse, giant creatures appeared ,blood dripping from their claws and tooth filled mouths. 2 of them looked at me. One roared and it filled me with enough fear that I couldn't breathe. They both started running at me. I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Just sit here in agonizing pain while they came over to kill me. The second before they got to me everything disappeared.

I was back in the dim room again. Strapped to the table. Pain still ravaging every part of me. I was too scared and weak to scream out. The door behind my bursted open. "Why the fuck do you keep fighting it you stupid sack of shit!" A man screamed as he came into my field of vision. He was some kind of soldier dressed in combat wear with medals gleaming on his chest. "My superiors are losing their patience and so am I" he said shaking with rage. I tried to talk. I didn't succeed until the third try. "Fuck off" I choked out. He roared and punched me in the side of the mouth. The pain that came from it was way more than it should have been instead of feeling like I got punched it felt like my jaw was broken. I cried out. "That's right you peice of shit. You know I always love hearing someone scream. Now tell me that you'll quit fighting the serum and I'll leave you alone" he said his face deadly calm. "G-go to hell" I stuttered out. Maybe if I pissed him off enough he would just kill me I thought. Instead he pulled a knife out of the scabbard I hadn't seen before. "Go to hell?" He asked "we'll see about that" he said and walked closer to me. He set the knife against my wrist. "Last chance" he said. When I didn't answer he put pressure on the knife and cut my wrist. Again more pain than normal exploded from my wrist. But he didn't stop after the first cut. He continued on to do three more on my arm. He moved away. "This can all stop if you just give in" he said his tone mocking. I couldn't speak. Pain and fear were choking me. "Fine have it your way" he said and came over to my other arm and made four more cuts. By the end I was barely conscious. "We'll see if you want to talk tomorrow" he said and left the room. I could hear the faint drops of blood hitting the floor from my wrists. The light ahead went completely out and I lost consciousness again.
