That night I barely slept.

Too many ideas and possible outcomes of my plan kept  running trough my head, making it hard for me to get my mind at ease long enough for me to sleep at least for an hour.

Of course my wish to escape didn't change but the more and more I thought about it, doing so would be a lot harder than I could even imagine.

Since I've been here for so long now I know when the Prof is making his breaks or leaves for a while to do whatever.

But even if he did leave it would be impossible to run away as long as I had those chains on my wrists.

And even if I did try to use my magic, I wouldn't have enough practice neither skill to actually cast a spell that would help me out at a time like this. Not to forget that I didn't even know what my magic was like since it hadn't manifested itself yet.

This all is so nerve wracking.

"Okay Luna it's easy: find a way to get those chains off and then run away while no one is looking."

That seemed like the only option to me at that time, but little did I know what was about to happen.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden impact I felt when the door suddenly swung widen open, hitting my weak and tired body as I stood behind it and causing me to fall backwards into a corner.

That's what it's like to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Without getting the time to recover and followed by a >Get up you rat< I felt my chains being pulled as the Professor dragged me along the hallways, always making sure to leave some space between us, since he never forgot to make sure someone so "worthless" didn't touch someone like him who was so "pure".

"You look horrible as always Beta 7, not that you wouldn't always do though", smirking he suddenly gave an impact to the chain making me fall to the ground once again. And as if that wasn't enough already he bent down and used his hand to lift up my face looking me directly in the eyes.

"Just wait what I've got in store for you today. I promise it will not be too deadly", at that he laughed averting his eyes from me and getting back to his feet starting to walk again.

Beta 7.

That was the name name he gave me.

The name of a test subject. He never called me by my name only numbers and codes. Not because he didn't knew it was Luna or anything, it was just because he simply insisted that a worthless nobody like me shouldn't have any.

Beta 7 however wasn't just a name. Beta meant 2nd as I was the second test subject he had at the current time. There used to be more than that. However all the others died cause their bodies couldn't contain the pain that was thrown at them.

7 was added to my code since I was prisoner number 7. So that said Beta 7 was basically my ID inside this mansion.

As I got back to my feet I numbly started to hurry after the professor to make sure
I wouldn't have to go trough the same all over again.

After some time we finally reached a small looking and rather dusty old lab that was located at the end of the hall.

All kinds of books as well as machines were placed inside the room. However I couldn't care less about all of that. My eyes were locked on something else.

Something that scared me the most of all of the things that were kept here.

It was a small cage that was hanging down from the ceiling moving slightly back and forth by small breezes that came from the window across the room. The cage was attached to a large machine that was standing it the middle of the room. In small letters a little inscription could be seen on one of its doors.

"The shock cage...", I mumbled to myself.  "That's right my dear, your good old friend is here to keep you company", I started shivering at those words and no matter how hard I tried to calm myself down and to show my non existing strength, my body simply wouldn't let me.

The Professor seemed to have noticed that since his smile grew wider by second and his face could tell that he must have been in  an amused manner.

Stay strong. Show no fear.

Trying to calm myself down one last time I clenched my fist, as much as I possibly could, and faced him directly.

"Oh? So we are playing tough today are we?" his voice seemed as cold as ice as he looked at me with a disgusted look. "Just you wait. Let's see how brave you are after this."

Without a warning he grabbed my arm and threw me into the cage. After that he shut the door tight and attached a lock at the front door.

Moving over to his desk he hammered a code into the machine with a "Hope you have fun" followed by a laugh he then pressed the big red button which caused the hell on earth to begin for me once again.

Shocks were sent straight into the cage trough small metallic veins. Every single one of them felt like a strike driect from lightning as soon as they hit my body, making their way into every single body cell I had.

It hurted so much that I screamed my lungs out and fought with tears that made their way into my eyes.

With my watery vision I glanced over at the man that couldn't hold back his laughter, watching me suffer to the end of my strength.

Seeing this, I started to feel something I had never felt so strongly in my life. Something that was burning inside my heart even more than all this pain did.

It was Anger.

Or even more than that.

It was pure Hate.

My eyes started growing darker by the second and my heart seemed to stop as I pressed my teeth together in order to stop myself from screaming.

I stopped myself from shaking from the impacts and stared straight at the figure in front of me, having dark blood comming down from my eyes.

At first the Prof seemed to be a bit confused at this sudden change of events, but then something else got visible in his eyes.

It was fear.

In all those years he had used me for his experiments he had always seen me as an emotionless pawn, someone that wouldn't talk back, neither think of anything like revolution.

But at this very moment he stared at me with blank fear in his eyes and sweat running down his face and shaking body.

"W-what are you?", his broke voice died while he was trying to raise his voice, showing his now long gone powers.

"I? I am your worst nightmare.", I replied to him licking some of the blood off my lips.
