"Screech!" We jumped as a black van halted right beside us. There was no time to react as the side doors easily slid open, and as quick as they opened, three black figures jumped out and ambushed us. I tried to yell, but before I could do that, I was gagged and tossed into the van. Rave grunted as he was also thrown inside.
Jefferey put up a good resistance, howling under his gag and throwing wild punches at the swift figures. Although it was a good throw of them and the dodging, he was also thrown inside, landing on his neck.
"We got the lab rats, Big Q!" said one of the shadowy figures as another slammed the door shut.
The darkness outside intensified the fear in the van as the driver finally responded.
"Apply the tests." he commanded, then there was a sudden click!" a briefcase flew open revealing three syringes. One glowed red, another yellow, and the last blue. My heart fought inside my chest , my pulse increasing and my temperature rising. The first figure grabbed the red syringe and immediately stuck it into Rave's skin. He thrashed and screamed with pain as the shadow held him down, shushing him.
Jefferey struggled in the seat, as did I, as the other figure grabbed the blue syringe. He cried out under his gag as the shadow brought it towards him. He used his legs and kicked it out of the figure's hand. It slid, glowing across the floor of the speeding vehicle.
"You fool!" he slapped Jefferey hard and I noticed the last shadow making his way towards me with the yellow glowing syringe. I squirmed and jerked.
"Relax. It's only gonna hurt a lot!" my eyes widened as I saw the other figure inject the whole syringe into Jefferey's neck. Rave was finally silent but jerked rapidly and breathed hard. I screamed as the needle punctured my skin and my mysterious person laughed at my pain.
My viens boiled and my organs were on fire. My head throbbed with a wicked headache that intensified with every pump. Then a painful ringing blasted into my thoughts. Jefferey visciously flailed beside me.
Suddenly there was a painfully bright light that filled the inside of the van, then a dangerous jerk sent the figures against the wall which triggered the button on it that had the guards on us released.
The back doors busted open, and on an impulse, I grabbed my groggy friends and lunged out of the miscontrolled vehicle. I landed hard on my feet, which sent a sharp pain up my legs.
I darted from the dark, empty, dirt road into the trees beside it. I turned to see the van swing by them and bust through some rails, plummeting off the cliff.
The pain in my body worsened. I dropped my friends and grabbed a trunk of a tree. I slid on it down to the leaf covered floor. My vision throbbed and blurred. I struggled to stay focused as dim to bright lights in the trees pierced through the darkness. Then I suddenly blacked out...
I awoke to find that I was in my room, warm in my bed. I climbed out and stumbled towards my bathroom. I rinsed off my face and looked into the mirror. I paused at what I saw.
My black-brown eyes had a square yellow rim around the pupils and my red-orange hair had blackened except for bits of blonde in my bangs. Then my reflection opened his mouth and I heard the scream escape from mine.
My mom burst in and grabbed me, shushing me and patting my back gently. She raked her fingers through my newly mutated hair. Rave and Jefferey enterered the bathroom and I noticed they had changed too.
Rave's blue-indigo hair also blackened except for his bangs, which had streaks of red in them, and his light brown eyes had streaks of red in them too. Jefferey's blonde hair, except for the light blue in his bangs, was now jet black and his hazel eyes were now a beautiful blue tint. My mom let go and left as the boys drew near me.
