There was an institute located in the countryside, far away from any civilization. Their job was to create humans with abnormal powers and use them for military purposes. The institute needed test subjects so the Head decided to pick ten random scientists and use their children. The scientists had no control over it otherwise they will be killed.

The children were aged from one to five years old. They never got to have a normal childhood. To accomplish the Head's goal (founder of the institute), the children only received pain and torture. One of the children died, tested for immortality. Some of their parents (who are the scientists as well) tried to escape with their child but failed and was murdered. Only eight children and three scientists were remaining.

One stormy night, the three remaining scientists devised a plan to escape with the eight remaining children. They considered the outcomes of their actions but they couldn't tolerate the suffering anymore. It was also to avenge the scientists that were killed by the head. They were all close friends since high school and dreamed to pursue the career they have today, but they never understood reality until they entered the institute.

The three scientists split up to collect the children from the test rooms. To avoid alarms, they drank a liquid for them to turn invisible. The formula was supposed to be used for an infusion with one of the children, but the risks were too high, especially after that one child who died. After creating it, they decided to keep it as a secret to themselves.

When the scientists got the eight sleeping children, they all met up at the back of the building that leads to a forest. The formula was starting to fade so they had to hurry. Suddenly, a gun went off. Time was ticking as their feet running. More shots were fired but luckily dodged. Shouts and screams could be heard from the Head. The scientists were trembling in fear but they had to control it. That's when a thump was heard behind.

"Take them and hurry, I'll be fine.." one of the scientists whispered frantically.

Another one gave up and ran away into the forest. He only wanted to be free from working in this torturous organization. He never really cared about the children. Now, there was only one scientist left. It was impossible to carry eight children with his only two hands. But he wouldn't give up, he was so close. It was okay if he died because he knows the eight children will retrieve revenge for what happened to their parents and what they turned them into. He found a basket stranded on the ground, large enough to fit all children. As guards and bullets chasing the scientist, he found his way across the forest to a road. A car was driving past until he stopped it. Inside was a couple, looked enough to trust them. He begged them to take the children somewhere safe enough. The couple was expediently confused but they took them in, asking the scientist if they also needed help.

"No, just promise me that you'll find a good home for them.''

The car engine started and drove off into the night. The scientist ran in the other direction, never heard again.

The couple in the car dropped the eight children, still sleeping, in an orphanage across their street. The couple was a newlywed and it'd be impracticable for them to raise eight children. When they have more money and settle in, then they would reconsider. But they never did.

One by one, the children got adopted by parents in the suburbs. All of them were still young, so they would not be able to remember their past such as being test experiments. All the children got adopted within a year, starting their life afresh unknowingly.
