The dark experiment (#Wattys2017)

chapter 8

I decided I needed some more to time to cool off so I ran into the forest to the part that seemed untouched by us. To my dismay the peace didn't last long, the smell of burning fire reached my nose, the sounds of people screaming with pain caught my ears attention.
Kyle....the others.
I thought of Connors power and ran as fast as lighting towards the house. Flames were destroying everything it had in its hold, smoke warning other away. It was a battlefield, hundreds of men and women were around fighting. Dead bodies on the ground. We may have powers but there were too many people to handle at once but I had to try. I promised them.  And so I began to fight, like nothing else mattered.  I walked onto the battlefield ending life after life watching as bodies fell, me being the cause of there end.  I grabbed a sword from one of them and began to swiftly fight with a sword until I made my way into the house. All of them were caught, no matter how much they tried to fight they were held down like dogs and injected so they would fall asleep. The only one left awake was sian who was in a large thick metal cage so no matter what animal she changed into she couldn't escape. Kai was being dragged on by one guy. The anger rising in me again, claiming me to do its will.

"Did we mean nothing to you. Did sian mean nothing to you"

They all looked at kai confused at my accusations. He started to laugh.

"wow your good, when did you find out?"

"when me and sian was captured, I saw you, watching in the shadows.  You didn't care when sian was shot. But I didn't think you would hand us up to our creators. So when you die, and you will die very soon.  Your death will be slow and painful"

I watched as his smirk disappeared from his face and morph Into fear before I was also injected and fell to the ground.

I woke up from the darkness to see I was on an operating table, strapped by my hands legs and waist to a wooden table. Machines plastered around.  Scalpels and other tools on tables around me and that's when I began to feel the second emotion this month.
Fear.
The last time I was on this operating table was a few years ago, they were trying to take pain the last emotion I had away from me. But it went wrong,  I lost more blood then they wanted and I died. For 5 minutes I was dead.
Death was beautiful, peaceful, calm nothing like the life I had lived.  But to my disappointment they revived me and my torture began once again. The reason I was scared now was not because of death but because of leaving the others behind, of having them endure what I had to go through. When the time came I would welcome death with open arms but not today.  The sound of multiple footsteps broke me from my thought and I was faced with Steven, Morgan and Ford the three people who would always do the tests. 

"it's nice to have you back, we thought we would never see you again." said Steven who was laughing with the rest in the process. 

"I've got to say your strong. And fast, but you see the boss wants you so see things at our way of thinking so we want to welcome you to a project we have been working on even before you were born. Now we think it's ready and we think your ready for it.
It will get rid of all those nasty emotions you have developed. Sadly we only have enough for one person so the others will probably be killed"

I tried to keep calm but all I wanted to do was kill them all. I watched as he brought a syringe out with black liquid in, it looked alive the way it wriggled around.

"it's called Death.
It's pure darkness and evil. You see we don't want to kill the others we want you too"

I wriggled as much as I could but it was no use. It seemed as much as I struggled the straps got tighter on my skin.

"HOLD HER" one shouted. I felt 4 pairs of hands hold me down as I still struggled.  I gasped as I felt the sharp point of a needle break my skin and the rush of the hot liquid mix in with my blood stream.

I have never screamed so much as I did then, or felt as much pain. I felt my body arch and wriggle around as I tried to soothe the pain. I was kicking, punching. I felt helpless, my body burning so much that I felt the straps break with the pressure. And then I felt it the darkness, I felt my pupils turn pure black, images of destruction,  pain filled my head and all it did was make me laugh. I sat up slowly and watched the doctors stare at me with awe and fear.  Just the way I like it. 

"bring in the test" said a voice, it was familiar but I couldn't quite picture whose voice it belonged to.
A young man was dragged into the room. I felt his pain and fear.

"he stole something from us. Kill him"

And so I did. I jumped from the bed and placed my hands on the side of his cheeks, I Watched as black markings fell from my arms and onto him. He wriggled with pain and self pity, blood came pouring from his eyes nose and ears until there was not a single drop left and so my marks retreated from him and ran back up my arms.

"well done" I looked at the faces of the men who caused me so much pain, smiles plastered across them as if they had achieved something huge, but they had no idea, they thought the darkness would destroy my emotions and yet here I was feeling every single one. Happiness, sadness, pain, fear,anger and more. What scared them the most was how calm and collected i was. What scared them the most was that they knew they couldn't control me.

I noticed a guard walk towards me and grab my arms but he immediately regretted it as I shot a huge amount of burning pain through his body.

"don't touch me again"

We walked into another huge room. It was dark but I could still see the bare room with 10 people chained to the wall. A bright light entered the room as someone turned on the light.  I hissed at the brightness as my new eyes adjusted to it.  I heard the gasps of all the ten people as they looked at my new appearance.  My eyes pitch black, markings on my hands and arms. My hair now also black.

I recognised them but the darkness within me didn't care.  I looked at each and every one of them as one word kept repeating itself over and over in my mind. 

Kill.

I smiled and watched as they all felt pain as I clenched my fists together.

"NOO, STOP ATHENA THIS ISNT YOU"  screamed one. She was young with short pink hair.

"PLEASE, REMEMBER US, HOW WE MET, HOW YOU PROTECTED ME,  HOW YOU PROTECTED US!" and just as the words left her mouth, images of meeting kyle and the others, laughing with them, kai betraying us came flooding back. I collapsed to the ground as the pureness of my soul and the darkness within me fought with each other. I watched as my markings changed patterns, my hair black but white strips of hair came breaking through and my eyes still black but with red inside them. I stood back up and sent the doctors flying until they hit a wall and fell unconscious.

Kai came running into the scene making the ground shake.  Didn't I make a promise that I would kill him. Yes I did.  I raised my hands in the air so he could no longer move. I tutted at him.

"I told you. That you would die soon but I don't think it's in my place to kill you"

I kept him frozen while I walked toward the others and broke the chains holding them captive with my hands.

"sian he is all yours" 

" my pleasure" She changed from the innocent girl I came to love into a huge tiger and jumped on kai. Within seconds he was dead. She stayed in her animal form and walked towards us.

"right let's get out of here. For the second time"
