Testing Kestrel

II

Kestrel PoV

We wake up in separate cages. I see a table there, it has restraints on it. There is also several gadgets around. "Do we really have to do this? They're just 12."
"I know. But the boss told us to do it. Really they're quite interesting. I wish we could clone them," I hear him say. What are they doing? What are they gonna do to us? Why are we separate? What's happening? I can see my heart rate going up on a device. How are they monitoring me without anything on me. I see them start looking to my heart monitor. I hear them start walking towards my cage. "0855723. Please calm down."
It looks like they're shouting but everything just slowly fades out. I feel myself hit the plastic cage but it's just a dull thud. I slowly slip out...

Time skip 5 years

I feel the restrains on my wrists, ankles and neck. I try to jerk up but there's something stopping me."0855723, can you hear me?"
I nod my head slightly and try to talk but my voice is a mere whisper. It must be from a feeding tube that lies on a table not to far away. I see several bloody tools scattered round and groan. My stomach hurts like hell. Some of the wire from the stitches are poking up. I feel the restraints coming off but don't fight as they move me onto a stretcher. I'm probably going to the recovery room. The wheels bump on something and I let out a hiss in pain.

We finally make it to the room. I'm put on a bed next to my sister. I look at her. She's lying on a bed. Eyes closed, slow breathing. Then, out of the blue, she jerks up and starts trying to hurt herself. I can't do anything, feeling like the most helpless thing as she thrashes around. I guess that whatever they did to her her body is rejecting it. Some scientists come in and tie her down, whilst checking her stitches. One seems to have popped and I get up to go help her when a white coat came and pushes me down. The weird thing is I didn't fight them like I normally do. Is this something they did or is it just because I am hurt? I just don't want to know actually like normal, or as normal as I can get.

Time skips by a week.

I lie awake looking at the ceiling. This is my last day until I go back to the cage with Raven. I sit here bored as usual as I don't have anything to do. Normally right now I would probably be on a computer hacking the next plane fight, but instead I'm sitting on a boring bed with no pain killers. The scientists couldn't afford us to become immune to painkillers and other drugs because we may need them more in the future for much worse thing. Either way it doesn't hurt very much and luckily we heal quickly. They put something in me when we were born apparently. That was always in my mind because it meant they always knew we were here, like we were specially chosen or something.

Anyway, they move me to the wash room and I actually let them put me in the water. My resistance must be really low cause I loath water. When I mean loath I mean it's pretty much my least favourite thing in the world (with the exceptions of this lab). But I do wonder what they did to me. I mean they said they didn't want to do it so why?

I thought they would drag me back to the cage I call my home. I mean it is the only place I know we're safe. I see the area, but we went to the other side and this time I see two cages. One on each side of the room. There are blankets in the cage neatly folded and new smelling. They throw me in the cage. I guess the blankets are to keep warm, since I can tell we aren't gonna be in the same cage. We use to use each other to warm up. Strangely, I don't miss being in the same cage as Raven. Actually I don't miss her at all. It feel like... I don't want to ...be with her? I am so confused! I've never felt like this. I feel like I don't like anything. What did they do?!

Should I care?
Will this effect me?
How did they do it?
All these thoughts cloud my mind as my sister comes in unconscious. Good on her. She probably kicked up a fuss. Ugh, but I still can't get these thoughts out of my head. It's really confusing me...
