Fuck. This. Shit.
Fucking alarm. I sit up and groan, the alarm stuck to my ceiling.
" attention please, can subjects 200 to 400 please report to the conference room."
The fuck? I groan and get dressed, black jeans and a deep purple long sleeve shirt. I step out and follow the handful of people walking to the conference room, from what I've learned so far they give subjects large numbers to scare any possible kidnapper. There are really only like 30 or 40 of us but one subject is labeled as high as 500. We file in and take a seat, there are only eleven of us here.
"I am here to explain something to you, because you don't remember it. We are at war, the monsters turned on us, all subjects in this facility have volunteered to be part of a test, you all have also volunteered," murmurs passed between the group. I make eye contact with omega, she's curious like me.
"The test was to see if monster DNA could inhance humans strength and speed, results were amazing."
"Wait! Your saying there is monster in us?!" The room got loud.
"Synthetic monster DNA," she corrected. "You all had your reasons for volunteering, your files will be given back to you should you wish, then you are to have breakfast and move to the training hall at the soonest convenience," she drops a pile of files on the table and leaves. One by one we all line up and grab our files.
"My name was Sarah winter," omega says once we're outside. I take a puff from my cigarette and open my file, I laugh.
"My name was Molly fucking Smith," we both laugh. "That's bullshit."
"It's says I was an accountant before I joined, it was to avenge my husband who was murdered, that's wrong."
"How can you tell?" I ask.
"Cause I'm pretty sure since I've woken up that I'm lesbian," she laughs. "What's your say?"
"Single, taught grade 3. Volunteered so future kids wouldn't have to live through hard times and war," I read aloud.  I finish my cigarette and turn to her.
"You ever get flashes of images? Like your a part of a movie scene but have no control?"
"Like old memories? Yeah I get them sometimes. We have to get out of here."
"I know," I grab my file and we walk away from the buildings.
"Were fighting on the wrong side, but I won't hurt anyone without a good reason."
"Yeah, after lights go out meet me in the library, there are some things I want to look into," I nod and we separate. I head back to my room and grab a large hoodie and clothes, I put them in the bathroom and move back to the room, I grab a belt and a few pockets that clip on it. I move them to the bathroom being weary of the camera in my the corner of the room. I grab some more stuff and move to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and take a quick rinse, I hop out but leave the water running. I dry off and get re dressed. Black jeans and a black shirt. I put of the belt and clip on the pockets, make shift utility belt. I turn off the water and and wait five minutes before turning on the hair dryer. I blow dry and straighten my hair and load up my belt, flashlight, cigarettes, lighter, and other various thing I'll probably need. I throw on the huge hoodie to cover myself and keep everything hidden from people and cameras. I move to the common room and grab a pen and paper, I walk through the hallways casually while secretly making a map of the security cameras. No doubt the cameras come with night vision and I'll have to avoid them if I want to stay hidden. Then there's that ten foot wall outside to "keep the monsters out" that me and omega will have to scale if we end up needing to. I walk around and tag the cameras until I'm confident in my map, I retreat to my room and set the alarm on my watch and take a rest.
