Deceit

Bound

I woke up to the sound of the propellars above me, under the night sky and light rain, slowing down from the ridiculous speed from before.

I had been sat against the back wall with ropes around my wrists, arms, torso and arms, my legs, knees, and ankles. Barely able to squirm, Karter got up from a bench lining the small wall he and approached me with his thick boots echoing off the metal-like floor I lay on.

Tyler got up and followed after. I could feel him watching my every movement through the glass of his helmet.

Too bad it was really strong glass.

I squrimed and fought against Karter as he tried hoisting me over his shoulder. I kicked both legs and tried elbowing his back repeatedly.

He bounced me slightly, warning me to stop resisting.

He stepped off the helicopter and walked down a line of soldiers on either side of us. Each one was in the same armor suits as Karter, Tyler, and the man leading us through the rows. As the man ahead of us walked on, each soldier he passed dropped their salute.

The end of the rows came in and began to follow Tyler who walked behind Karter, making sure I didn't try anything. I began to consider that Karter was carrying me like this so he didn't get soaked all over.

My outfit was soaked, along with my hair, face, neck, and my shivering arms. The weather had definitely dropped multiple degrees during my rest through the helicopter ride.

All the soldiers following were in neat rows, lifting the same foot at the same time. Their footsteps sounded as one, each person identical to the one beside them.

We came to a stop on a circular platform that was lined with a single row of more soldiers.

Very overprotective.

The soldiers following behind us cirlced in front of those already standing guard. There were now two rows of heavily armed soldiers circled around us.

The circular platform below our feet began to lower, startling me. As we lowered, lights passed as if we were on an elevator with no walls. The man whom gave Karter and Tyler their orders kept his back to us, practically frozen in place when he wasn't walking.

"Agent Tyler," he spoke up for once. The voice came quickly, and ended shorter than it began.

Tyler stepped forward and saluted him.

I heard something from up above us. I struggled, but managed to lift my head enough to spot the opening far above us closing. Two halves neared the center, blocking off the rain and the view of the sky... Closing off my freedom.

"Prepare the door," the leader instructed.

Tyler stepped ahead of the one who gave him the order. He neared the wall as it continued to lower us. After a few seconds, we came to a loud, sudden, jolting stop. The loud noise echoed off the huge tunnel we just lowered down.

Tyler pressed a button, flipped a switch, opened a clear window, typed in a code, but never flinched as the door right in front of him began to grind and groan as it began to lift up.

I managed to glance around and see other doors opening as well. They led down to thin halls as far as I knew from my position. The guards lining the wide walls walked backwards and entered the other doors. Their doors began to slide shut, but Karter only began to walk.

We entered through the opening, stepping into a bright hallway. A few people walked past casually, all looking similar to doctors.

I frowned, knowing I did not want to stay here and figure out what they wanted to do to me.

I thrashed backwards and ripped myself from Karter's grip and back-flipped back onto my feet. I looked up in shock and so did the rest.

I shot forward and slammed my tied up fists down on Karter's head. He stumbled before collapsing backwards, clattering with his armor on the hard floor.

Tyler and a bunch of the doctors came at me, charging from various directions. Each one aimed to hit me, some using their fists, while others grabbed things they could use to their advantage.

I turned and kicked a silver tray out of one's hand, turned back around quickly and punched Tyler a couple times in the helmet, spun around and kicked him off his legs, whipped back around and began to punch, kick, attack, and beat any random person who wanted to stop me.

Tyler struck my back with the end of his gun. I turned and grabbed his neck through all his layers of clothing. He gagged, though I knew it'd still take a while for him to actually choke to death.

Suddenly, the figure who had been leading us down the hall came at me with strong strides, grabbed me, and slammed me roughly into the wall.

They ripped open a pocket on their belt and yanked something out. I squirmed and fought against them to the best of my ability, but they were strong. Their left arm was held forcefully over my chest as their other arms reached something towards my neck.

I jerked away from it, but they lost any patience and stabbed it into the side of my neck. Their arm lifted from me as I weakly grabbed the left side of my neck.

I stumbled as my vision blurred, spun, and multiplied.

No liquid was coming from my neck, so I couldn't have been bleeding. I looked down at my hand as I dropped to my knees.

No blood.

I fell onto my left hand, coughing and sputtering as I tried to fight the strange surges in my body. My legs seemed to give out, as well as my arms. I fell forward and collapsed fully this time.

I groaned, though the only thing I could hear was the ringing in my head.

"Wha..." I tried to speak but the left side of my head hit the cold, hard ground. The dark boots of the leader, covered in straps and what I prayed wasn't blood, came and stood in my vision. I tried to look up, but my eyes shut, and I blacked out unwillingly.
