Chapter 2
They all woke up in shiny green tubes made of glass. They all felt groggy and a slight pain in their heads. Whitney immediately started checking her body for any cuts or tubes. She was relieved to find only slight bruises most likely from the altercation in the van. All of them were lined up side by side in their tubes facing an empty electronic panel.
“Where are we?” asked Alyssa who had found the strength to stand up.
“Like any of us knows!” snapped Morgen who was sitting on the bottom of the encasing holding her throbbing head.
“Guys, I’m freaking scared!” said Kasi who wrapped her arms around her knees and looked around sheepishly.
“Okay, well we just need to keep calm.” Whitney said standing up and taking a look around.
“What are we in?” Lucia asked from the far side of the room.
Everyone looked at the box they were standing in. there were long tubes running throughout the glass containers and the floor was covered in a thick plastic. Above them were huge vents that hummed silently. Cameras scoured the room and were in every corner and on top of every container. They were in a lab of some sort, however one that looked poorly managed. The whole room had a musty smell to it and also gave off a green tint to it from moss that hung onto the damp walls. The tubes the teens stood in were the only thing that gave off light in the room.
“I think were lab rats guys.” Rachel whispered looking at the camera above her.
Paul did not want to sit around and wait to be tested on. He started hitting the glass with his fists yelled at the top of his lungs. The others copied him and tried to break their tubes. They pounded and pounded as hard as they could but they could not break the glass. Suddenly a blaring alarm went off in the lab and a voice came over the intercom.
“All employees please proceed to section 5A. All employees proceed to 5A. Sequence 8Q is now in session. Please all employees to section 5A.”
The teens got quiet as people in white suits poured into the room and started pushing dials and buttons which made the tubes spark to life. None of them spoke a word or even glanced at the captured teens. They just went about their work. One of the men in suits came over with eight cartridges of unknown liquids and placed them into a slot in each of the containers. The containers made a hiss as the cartridges were placed in. The man looked at the teens for a minute then went over to a control panel and picked up a radio.
“Sequence 8Q is now ready for commission.”
Suddenly another worker pressed a button on the panel and a buzzing occurred above the container and down into the chamber. The sound blared in the teen’s minds and they winced trying to cover their ears. The sound brought them all to the floor in a fetal position in agony.
“What is this?!” Kasi screeched.
Soon a green like smoke filled each of the teen’s containers. They choked and gagged on the smoke as it filled their noses and mouths. Soon none of them could breath and soon they fell into a deep sleep filled with fear and pain.
