The men took me to a dark room. There was a light switch, but it was broken. I could see in the dark. I knew that now. Cameras were in the corners, watching what I would do. Whoever was watching was going to get a show. I focused on my dream from before. How did I do that? I need it again! I felt my skin start to itch. My muscles tensed up and my bones changed shape. I felt myself become lower, in a more agile form. It stopped. I was, once again, a leopard.
I analyzed the situation. My friends were escaping, and I would assume they were having some difficulties. The scientists were searching for us, and I was here. I looked at the broken light switch. The cover had been ripped off, and a few wires hung out. It was strange. Unless someone purposefully took off the secondary cover, the wires should not have been out. The tile on the floor was slippery, and my claws were scratching it. Glancing at the men, I slowly moved forward. They wouldn't shoot me. They wouldn't dare.
I jumped up at them, carefully hitting them to avoid stopping, it I stopped, they would capture me. They were trying to keep me in here. I could tell. Suddenly, one of the guards connected the wired on the walls. Colorful lights blared inside the room. I began to feel dizzy, but I continued. One of the guards threw pills into my mouth. I knocked him over and ran out of the room. I ran down the hallway into another room, that I had seen Abby run into previously.
