The area it's self was damp, and the air was stale. Immediate chills rushed down my back. As we continued to walk I noticed one the PC squad members decided to walk uncomfortably close beside me, so I decided to shoot him an awkward glance so he could catch a hint. Instead, he looked at me and spoke.

"Sorry, but this place just gives me the heeby jeebys." He smirked shyly.

I sighed and searched my brain to remember his name.

"Your- codename Skeppy correct? Also, heeby jeebys, really?"
I raised an eyebrow lightly

He let out a sudden short chuckle

" Whaa~ you don't know what heeby jeebys are lil' sappy?" He talked with a childish voice that got under my skin within seconds.

This guy.

I sighed,
"I was more talking on the lines of; what age are you again- 4?"

I made sure to make myself seem as bitter as possible.

"Woah chill, I was just troll lololololing you- also just call me Zak, please."

I could almost feel my face wince with disappointment.

"Well Skeppy, for your information we are not supposed to know each others actual names."
I could feel myself losing brain cells just talking to this guy, it can't be healthy.

All he could do was shrug. Until we parted ways for our job locations, we just continued to walk in utter silence.

[ERET POV]

Though I was thoroughly disgusted by the fact I had to spend hours of my time with that poorly fashioned mongrel, I was quite pleased with the position I was bestowed. I am most intrigued subject 043 'Dream'. He is truly a man- no, a creature, set to my standards, he is an incredible force to be reckoned with I must say. So spectacular and a Red class too.

His abilities state he is able to create small blob like creatures from his flesh alone, it's truly a marvellous skill and discovery. Not only that, but we have reason to believe that he may have potential shapeshifting abilities at hand, but more research must be performed to confirm this and that's why we are here. Simply to run tests on the guinea pigs.

Or maybe we are the Guinea pigs.

Either way, our purpose has meaning and it's all apart of a bigger picture. Our lives, wellbeing and happiness is utterly irrelevant in comparison to this project.

But that's not something to be ashamed of, participating in something like this is honestly astounding and many would sacrifice their sanity to be me.

Life surely isn't fair. I guess some people are born lucky and others lucky to be born. As am perfection without having to put half as much effort as some people out there. Life isn't fair.

[NICK POV]

I remember clear as day the moment I walked into the Red class containment facility, and I saw it.

Or should I say, him?

Eret left to turn on the light in the area, but I didn't need lights to see that horrific pink gaze that felt like it pierced through my chest. Burning Pink eyes that screamed hell upon earth, eyes that had hatred seeping out, hatred for me. It took my breath away, in a bad way. I felt like holding my breath, it felt like I couldn't breathe.

All of a sudden the lights filled the room and I suddenly found myself dazed and afraid and a pane of bulletproof glass away stood a young man in about his twenties, eyeing me down like prey.

He had short wavy pink hair that flowed down over his face a little, he was wearing a button-up white shirt with what looked to be golden buttons on it and dark navy trousers.

From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Eret standing there, just glaring at me. That prick had the smuggest smile on his face, pissed me off.

"Subject 018, codename TechnoBlade, has the ability to intimidate its prey and holds great strength, sense of prediction, sturdiness, speed and exquisite swordsmanship abilities. I wouldn't be so foolish as to fall for its glare like yourself-"

I felt my muscles tense up, this guy was getting on my nerves. Eret continued;

"-among that, he really isn't all that special, not compared to subject 043, Dream."

I found myself getting annoyed at how much he knew and how much he remembered, I felt too ashamed to ask about this dream guy.

"Well Sapnap, I believe we should allow the others to pay a visit to Dream, don't you think?" For the first time ever, Eret gave a slight smile.

I scoffed.
"I haven't even seen this Dream guy yet- we don't even know if he's hostile- and you want to get everyone into Red class facility already? Give me a break, Eret."

Eret's smile shattered in seconds, I almost felt bad.
"Of course." He said firmly.

"Well, we don't even know if he's here- yet."

Eret nodded.
"Then, I'll go look for him."

I smiled and nodded at him as he began to walk deeper into the facility, I couldn't help but glance over at TechnoBlade once more before leaving to explore and look around a little myself, what a terrifying creature.

"You know, maybe Eret isn't so bad." I couldn't stop my self from thinking that,

Maybe Eret was alright.
