Area 41

Chapter 1: Subject 24

I woke up strapped to a surgical table with tubes and machines hovering over me. ''Where am I,' I mumbled before a man with goggles around his neck approached the table. ''Subject 24, you are awake,' He said in a German accent. ''Why are you doing this,' I yelled while trying to pull my arm out of the straps. ''Isn't it obvious subject 24,' The man said while pulling out a large syringe. ''You're going to be experimented on,' He smiled before sticking the needle into my neck. I felt a sharp pain before the darkness took over my sight. I kept seeing glimpses of knives and doctors.

Until I woke up in a dark cement room with a light hanging from the ceiling. ''Hello,' I yelled before I heard a large bang coming from the far corner of the room where it was the darkest. As I looked into the darkness all I could see were glowing dark blue eyes and could hear to what seemed to be growling. My heart started to race as the mysterious creature walked into the light. It was a wolf that was almost 6 feet tall and 7 feet long, its fur was of a black coating and its teeth were so sharp it seemed that they could pierce the cement wall with ease. As it approached me the wolf began to change it stood onto it's hind legs and it's hair began to fall off until there was only enough to cover its head. It's paws began to turn into feet and arms until there was a 6 foot teenage boy standing over me.

''Who are you,' He said with a grim look while his eyes were still glowing a cold dark blue. As he said those words, I wondered the same thing Who was I? I didn't know my name or where I came from just a number......24. He looked me over as if he's seen this type of thing before. ''My names Jason,' He says while shaking my hand. ''Welcome to Purgatory,' He says before slipping on a shirt with the number 30 in bold marked on the side. ''You can find out your name on the board downstairs,' He said before a buzzing sound started to come from the door and a loud click. ''Time for breakfast,' Jason said before opening the door, letting in a white light. I approached the door before hearing sound of other people coming from outside.

I looked out the room to see kids walking down a marble white corridor toward steps that seemed to go downward. ''Come on,' Jason said before escorting me downstairs. Downstairs was a large room that seemed to have been a lunch room. Everyone that was there, were teenagers from the age of 12 to 20 and each had a different number. I wondered how many people were in this place until I seen the board. It showed a list of numbers from one to one thousand each number having a name on the side of it. ''So your name is Aaron,' Jason said while eating an apple. ''I guess so,' I said while turning to him.

''Why is this happening to us,' I asked him before almost a dozen guards entered from the stairs with Tomahawk catch poles around a girl's neck. ''Who's that,' I asked while looking over toward the guards. The girl had dark skin and black hair. Her eyes were bloodshot as if she's been up all night. As she walked into the lunchroom all the other kids backed away as if she was carrying a virus. ''That's Jada she's the type that likes to bite people,' He said before I noticed she was wearing a muzzle. '' Listen, Aaron this place is known as Purgatory because we're from the supernatural world. I'm a werewolf, Jada's a vampire,' Jason said while grabbing my shoulder.

Once Jason said werewolf and vampire glimpses of x-rays came to mind. ''You Okay,' Jason said before a man wearing what seemed to have been a general's uniform began to walk toward us from the stairs. He was about as tall as Jason and had black hair that was cut short. He skin was as white as powder and his eyes were different colors, one was green while the other one was blue. "Hello Aaron, Jason can you give us a minute," the man said while looking at the both of us always with a smile. When I looked over to Jason I could tell that he was scared off this guy. "Yes sir," Jason quickly replied before taking a glance at me then walking away.

"Who are you?,'' I asked the man wondering if he was the reason I was here. "Sorry for not introducing myself, I am General Blitz I am the creator of this little program, walk with me son," He said to me as if I was his creation. As we walked through the corridors I noticed a number under his right ear it was the number 3. "Why am I here," I asked him trying to wonder what's going on. Blitz looked at me with a smile. " There's a war coming son and wars aren't won by willing men their won by things that can't be explained, I want you to be pat of a pack...no, I want you to lead a pack," Blitz said with excitement."What do you mean, what pack," I asked while feeling confused. "You and a selected group of teens will be working together as a team," he said as we walked back toward the lunch room."Go finish your lunch you start tomorrow," Blitz said before walking away from me.

After that I walked toward where Jason was sitting and after telling him the conversation with the General. "You just got here and he already wants you to lead a team, what idiots will he put on your team," he chuckled as if it was a joke seeing me as a leader to anything. "I don't know, but I do know that if I want to find away out of here I have to do as he says, I know that I'm more than just a name," I told him before sitting down. And after a few minutes of trying to figure out General Blitz plan we decided to go get a lunch. I had a ham sandwich and a pear and cup of water. After I sat down I started to eat as if I've never eaten a day in my life. ''I felt that we might be supernatural, You were just a wolf, now,' I said while gesturing to him.

''How did you become this?,' I asked him while biting the sandwich. ''I don't know, I woke up in the same room you woke up with the abilities of a werewolf,' Jason smiled before standing up and walking over to where the guards sat Jada. '' Wait, where are you going?,' I asked while following after him. But as soon as I arrived they were already staring at each other. '' What do you want,' Jada said while looking down at the table. As I looked at her, I noticed she had fangs like a vampire. ''I just wanted to say hello,' Jason said to her before sitting down on the other side. '' You said hello now leave,' she said with the muzzle still strapped around her head. Jada had black hair and glowing hazel eyes. ''What you looking at,' She says before looking toward me.

''Um, sorry,' I said before turning away. ''We wanted to know if you knew any Banshee's,' Jason says before noticing the guards were still talking to each other. ''Why would I know a Banshee?, their under twenty-four seven surveillance and the last time a Banshee talked to a person ended in a suicide and I'm not talking about the Banshee.,' She said while looking at Jason. '' So what if we wanted find out what type of Supernatural someone is,' Jason asked while slicing his wrist. ''Jason what are you doing?,' I asked before Jada leaned over to Jason and started to drink the blood coming from his wrist. ''It's ok Aaron, I can heal and I need your help,' Jason says to Jade after pulling his arm away from her. ''The training room, push him to his limits and he might...?,' Jada asked after wiping her mouth with a nearby napkin. "Might what ?,'' Jason said but before the bell rang. After a few minutes of watching the other kids leave into hallways, I followed Jason toward an area that read on the door Training Room in big bold letters.

''Let's see what you're made of,' Jason says while opening the door to the Training Room. The training was the size of a football field with three large fighting mates. ''What did you mean what I'm made of ?,' I asked while walking toward the fighting mate. Until I felt something heavy hit my arm and knock me to the ground dislocating my shoulder. ''Ahh,' I howled as a shock of pain went down my arm. ''Come on Aaron, you must learn to heal, animals have one instinct... survive,' Jason said while circling me as if he was waiting for something to happen as if watching me in pain was the greatest thing that ever happened. Then all I could feel was the pain start to go away, I could feel my bones going back to their original spots as if nothing happened.

''What's happening to me,' I asked as I looked at my arm as if they were someone else's. ''So you can heal that's good, your healing speed is faster than mine,' Jason says while looking at my arm. "I want you to get angry Aaron, " Jason said before kicking me toward the ground. Every time I tried to get up Jason was always their to kick me to the ground. "Come on Aaron, what if the German scientist came out here and tried to kill you, " Jason said before stepping on my hand. I wailed in pain as I could feel each and every bone in my hand start to crush under the pressure of Jason's foot. "Are you going to cry and ask them why ? or will you get Angry, " He said before grabbing me by the neck.

"Maybe you're weaker than you look, " He said before tossing me toward a nearby wall creating a large crater in the wall. "I'm done here, " Jason said before turning toward the door. Until he heard some sort of laughter. "Hahahaha, " I started to say in a lunatic type of way. For some reason I had no control over my body or my laughter. I felt a rush of anger and bloodlust enter my mind. As Jason turned to face me as if I was lightning itself I popped up behind him and I grabbed Jason by the neck and slammed him toward the ground.

I wanted to stop but everything else told me it was the right thing to do. I felt as my hands shifted into claws as I clawed at Jason's chest as if I was trying to reach his heart. Until I felt a rope type object go around my neck and arms while pulling me away from Jason. I soon realized that it was the Purgatory security. "Should we eliminate the threat, Dr. Swein,' One of the guards said with a pistol to my head. "No, he's still of value, isn't that right Subject 24,' A man said with a German accent which I recognized from my visions. "Take him to the lab,' Swein said as they dragged me out of Training Room leaving Jason half dead.

"We need to run more test,' Swein says before closing the door behind him.
