[center [b In one moment darkness the next? A flash of white light. There laid a woman with snow white hair. A cold sensation crawling on her back. "What was that..? Oh yeah the cold wet floor..". Her hands were restrained, as well as her wrist. An extra precaution taken with her power in mind.]]
[center [b Her vision blurred again next her eyes opened she could hear murmurs. "Please.. Stop this.." she weakly thought as the voices carried on about their day. More lab coats again. She could make out the word "Subject."]]
[center [b What subject, where was she? Forcing her eyes to flutter open, everything felt fuzzy. Panic began to invade her mind as her heart began to race. "God damn it.." she cursed herself for feeling so weak. It felt like it was her first day all over again.]]
[center [b However reality hit her, she had been here much longer. The days, she stopped numbering. With all the tests she had gone through, it was becoming increasingly difficult to count the days. How long had she been here? Her head was throbbing as her eyes held a burning sensation. She had blinked reeling away from those cold hands. Whose hands were they? It was that damn doctor wasn't it? He held her eyes open. He dropped a liquid into her eyes, the pain flashed for a moment and then her vision flashed pure white, blinking again and again as she panted panicking. "I can't see.. I can't see I can't.." And like nothing had happened at all her vision returned to normal. Her chest was raising up and down in a staggered panic. Gripping her fist her fear flared into anger. Raising her head she hit the doctor's chin with her forehead following with an attempt to bite at him. Though her headbutt had landed solid enough to cause his nose a light bleed he had backed up in time to avoid her bite.]]
[center Oh! We've got ourselves a fighter! You're lucky you're a rare specimen... Otherwise I wouldn't have to be so careful dear.]
[center [b Now that she could see clearly she saw his face and his attire. Exactly as her mind pictured the slimy bastard, a cruel smile only a mother could love. A weaselly face with round glasses and a long coat. A slender frame with short brown hair and a small nose.]]
[center [+grey Bastard!]]
[center [b She flailed in her restraints further as the man waggled his finger.]]
[center Now now Paige.. We know better than this don't we?]
[center [+grey Don't you dare! Don't you dare use my name!]]
[center [b Though her voice was small and her voice had a gentle bass. Her sharp attitude and fierce emotion had more than made up the difference to show she was rather serious. Sure.. She was terrified deep down. "I just.. I just wanna come home to my.. To my family. Even though.. No stop it Paige! Focus!" she fought the fear and let it give way to anger.]]
[center You're name? You mean.. Paige Whitlock?]
[center [b She had on impulse growled attempting to bite at the air again. Like some caged wild animal but before she could he raised his arm smacking her across the face. Despite his slender frame the malnourished young girl had bruised rather quickly. Panting as she spat some blood out. She looked up at him, defiance in her eyes even if her tongue was caught up in fear. "Damn it.. Today's the day I die isn't it.. After all this shit this.. This is what.."]]
[center [b A voice had interjected, her temporary savior. A stout and short man with a handle bar mustache and a sideburns to match his balding placed a hand on the man's shoulder.]]
[center [i I understand you're impatience but if she is damaged any further.. Besides you know what's coming up.]]
[center I know.. We have to put her to sleep right? Before the big "event" right? Heh.. Maybe I'll get to watch you die after all sweetheart.]
[center [i Maybe, maybe not but either way it's time to put the poor girl to sleep.]]
[center Fine.. But no one said how I had to do it right?]
[center [b The man had finished his final scrawl of notes onto a clipboard. Before flipping the clipboard around to smack Paige with it. The wood had given way cracking by the impact papers strewn everywhere. "Pfft.. Of course.. What else was I expecting?" Where Paige's last thoughts as she fell onto the cold hard unforgiving floor.]]
[center [b Her mind blanking to another time.. Another place.]]
[center [h3 Subject Sunshine]]

[center [b Long eyelashes paired with deep green emerald eyes accompanied with chestnut brown hair. This was the description of a young woman being directed to her testing area. Looking around curiously she felt her arms shaking but she slapped herself quickly. Her two "escorts" were looking her way. She forced herself to smile regardless of her situation despite her legs shaking she kept on her smile wearing it like it was a piece of armor. The escorts simply shrugged as one shoved her to move along quickly.]]
[center [+darkgreen That's no way to treat a lady ya know~]]
[center [b She chuckled as the second escort growled bunting her with the back of his fire arm. She spat a bit of blood coughing slightly but it wasn't long before the bleeding stopped. "Come on Evelyn stay strong.. You've got this." She stood back up smiling yet again. The man seemed rather angry by her response. Was he angry? Angry a small girl snapped right back from his strike? Evelyn wasn't sure why but.. The pain had turned into nothing more than tingling.]]
[center [+darkgreen Heh, giving me a love tap huh?]]
[center [b "What?! What am I saying? Do I want him to hit me? Come on Evelyn just cause that didn't hurt so bad means.. I should act like a total moron!" He raised his arm again with a growl as a retort. Crashing his arm across her face with twice as much force as before. Her face was red and mouth was bleeding and she almost wanted to cry. Shivering and whimpering.. For a moment before.. The pain began to fade? Her cheek restoring to it's usual glow and the taste of blood in her mouth.. It was gone? A man had came down the hall's. She knew this one.. And the usually cheery woman had soured her expression. The man pushed his glasses up with his long bony fingers. He had offered her a rather hollow "applause." Though his eyes shown interest in this unique specimen.]]
[center Wonderful.. Simply wonderful isn't it? Project Sunshine! A flower that never wilts! Well as long as it's properly taken care of yes? They say flowers can share nutrients with other of it's kind. One tree has many roots yes? I mean some specimens of flower are capable of such a thing eh? You my little flower will prove to the upper board my genius! You'll be greatest unit "medic" we've made yet!]
[center [b "Unit.. Medic? What was he talking about?]]
[center No.. Medic is shooting to low I'm sure you'll be promoted too-]
[center [+red She's being detained so stand aside.]]
[center Oh? Scared of one little girl captain? Well well.. You have struck her twice and.. Yet here she stands. Still you're opinions hardly matter, an arm does not disobey the brain no? Now be a good appendage and bring her to me. Orders from the board I'm afraid.]
[center [b The burly man looked at Evelyn with a growl as he shoved her towards the man with the slimy smile.]]
[center I'm afraid knocking you out may be tricky for our little event but.. I've something in mind just for you.]
[center [b With one sharp movement there was a flash of steel revealed from his coat. A large tipped needle pressed against her neck. The young brunette had began to felt wobbly. "My whole world.. Feel's spinny. I know I can be a klutz but come on.." Even in such dire straits she had made a joke for the audience of none. It may have only been the theater of the mind but it was her theater none the less.]]
[center [+darkgreen Stay... Awake..]]
[center [b Her attempts were futile soon her whole world was pitch darkness.]]
[center [h3 Time Passes]]
[center [b Who knew how much time had passed for these two women but today? Today was Rex's 364th day here, at least that's what the marks had said on the wall. First to awake was Evelyn in her newfound cell. Looking up she saw a brown haired male staring at a man with ashen hair. His smile was unwavering and.. Well if this wasn't such a dire situation? The old Evelyn might have thought he was kinda cute. Though she was more concerned where she was.]]
[center [+darkgreen Uhm..]]
[center [+brown Subject Rex? Oh yeah!]]
[center [b Eric hitting the palm of his hand with a balled up fist as he raised that same hand. Pointing a finger up if almost like a light bulb flashed in his head.]]
[center [+brown The weird code names they give us right? Well come on man I know you have a real name! Forget the ones they give us.]]
[center [b Rex simply fidgeted sitting up straight scooting away slightly as he stared at the ground. Holding at his own arm as he began to sigh. Evelyn was sure she just walked into.. A rather odd conversation.]]
[center [+orange I... well....]]
[center [b Though before Rex had a chance to really reply the timid boy was cut off. With the arrival of two new subjects to share the cell. It wasn't like them to cluster the subjects. Unless... they were to be thinned out again through more severe test. Wait.. They had been there for a moment hadn't they? Was Rex so distracted avoiding an awkward talk with this guy.. That he didn't notice them? Oh great..]]
[center [b At least Rex could use this as a chance to escape the question and awkward conversation He simply kept his head hung low. As Eric shot up to greet the two fellow subjects.]]
[center [+brown Nice to meet you both the names Eric.]]
[center [b Eric looked at the second woman at the ground with curious eyes. Rex rolled his eyes "she's not even awake yet idiot." Eric had taken a knee beside her shaking her softly. She had a few murmurs before waking up with Eric beside her.]]
[center [+brown Oh hey! Good morning sleeping beauty my names Eri-]]
[center [+purple Ahh!]]
[center [b The woman shot up and punched Eric square in the nose with no restraint. She began to look around, where was he? The man in the coat? What the hell.. They were sharing cells now? Seriously?]]
[center [+brown Wow! That's a hell of a hook! The name's Eric it's a pleasure!]]
[center [b He smiled as he offered a hand shake to Paige. She had stared at his hand before looking up and staring at him. "Is he.. For real?"
[center [+purple What?]]
[center [b She seemed to have preferred to keep to herself as well though this didn't deter Eric's smile. It did however make Rex feel even more uncomfortable to have a harsh atmosphere. Rex began to lay down on the cells bench as he had buried his head to sleep or at least pretend to. Evelyn had shot up shooting her hand forward.]]
[center [+darkgreen Name's Evelyn Everdeen! Just call me Evelyn or Eve if ya want! You seem friendly huh?]]
[center [+brown Eve? I like that! It's cute! The name's Eric!]]
[center [b The two had shared a rather strange handshake. Evelyn's hands were proudly on her hips with a brimming smile. The intensity of her smile was only matched by Eric's own smile. "Were these two.. For real?" Rex thought to himself. "Wait.. Did he just say Eve was a cute nickname? How could he just say that to someone! Least of all to a girl! I mean.. She's gotta think that's weird right? Right?" This wasn't the time to think of such trivial things true. Perhaps deep down Rex knew these were frivolous thoughts while in dire straits. Maybe he did maybe he didn't.]]
[center [b Eric had looked at her for a moment longer before he began to spoke. So far she seemed a little friendlier than the other two had seemed.]]
[center [+brown A pleasure to meet you mam, I've noticed they made you wear a tunic. Him too but they let me keep my things, that's not very fair of them huh? Well if you guys ever get cold we could share my coat.]]
[center [b He said removing his black coat having only a thin white t-shirt underneath. As he gave a soft chuckle rubbing the back of his head.]]
[center [+brown Maybe we could file a complaint?]]
[center [b Rex's eyes opened as he stared at the wall laying down. "A complaint?!" Rex had to hold back scoffing. He didn't want to cause an even more awkward situation but... Was this guy crazy? This wasn't like some hotel! Or a resort Rex couldn't wrap his head what this guys problem was. Coming in here all chipper without a care in the world like their in paradise. Though Rex was quiet Paige was not.]]
[center [+purple Excuse me what? Are you serious? They could be planning to kill us and you're making jokes?]]
[center [+brown Jokes.. Oh I never asked! What's you're name?]]
[center [+purple My.. What? Are you.. What?!]]
[center [b Paige's eyes flared in anger, she had felt that burning sensation from before. Gripping her fist she forced herself to take a deep breath and calm down. "He's.. Not worth it Paige.. He's clearly crazy."]]
[center [b Rex had placed his hand on his chest as he bit at his lower lip. Why was he so angry? Was it really because the man was misguided? Was Rex envious? Rex wasn't that bright even first coming here. He was scared he had missed his family. The few friends he had and the comfort of freedom. Why would he just smile? How could he? Rex simply shook his head why was he overthinking it? It didn't matter what the others acted like right? Cold,Timid,Happy they could act anyway. It wouldn't change the situation they were in.]]
[center [b Perhaps his own thoughts or just overthinking things was the only kind of entertainment he had left. There was nothing else to do but to think and think and think some more. Though even before this ordeal Rex did enjoy to overthink most things. He wasn't much at conversation but not by choice. He was just to anxious to say much or too risk embarrassing himself. Even now in this hopeless situation in front of these strangers. Even now he cared what others thought of him. Wait.. Even than..? "Was I.. Like this before?" Rex struggled his best but.. He just couldn't remember. Evelyn had came between Paige and Eric with a nervous smile across her face.]]
[center [+darkgreen Hey hey.. Let's calm down okay? Having a negative attitude isn't going to help us right? If were going to escape we should get to know each other right?]]
[center [+purple Escape..? Escape..? Are you serious? You have any idea how many guards? How many weapons? If that wasn't bad enough the drugs these guards take just in precaution of our "gifts."]]
[center [+darkgreen Heh.. Gifts what a cruel name for these huh?]]
[center [+purple ..What?]]
[center [+darkgreen I mean.. It's the whole reason were here right? Suffering.. Like this.]]
[center [b Her voice had felt like a ray of sunshine in the cold dark damp abyss. At least.. It had to Rex if but for a moment. "She... Truly has hope.. And she doesn't seem crazy like that other guy. She actually knows what's going on and yet.. She has hope..? How could she.. Dare to have hope? Every friend Rex made here.. Every ally every hope.. He was.. He was forced too.." Rex gripped his pillow doing his best to ignore his new cellmates. "Change the subject change it.. Think about something else... Well.. Well... She's really... Cute right? SERIOUSLY!? That's what I think of? I mean.. She is cute, adorable even. Almost like a character from one of his favorite stories.. His.. Stories? He wasn't sure what those were anymore but.. She was like that! She was peppy and cheerful and just.. Well.. She was charismatic to be sure." Though.. Rex had peaked a glance for a moment before laying back over. "Though.. The other one.. She's really pretty too.. Graceful and... Well cute ya know? Like one of those girls that's cruel at first but slowly warms up to you? Rex loved those in his old stories. They were an adorable archetype and yet... Real life was never quite as simple. She didn't seem like she was the type to.. Warm up really. Rex wasn't exactly hopeful but she was downright cynical someone Rex knew.. He'd never get along with no matter how cute she was. ..Okay Rex can we stop oogling at girls? For just.. One moment? ..No? I'm a hopeless case? Yup sounds about right!" Rex had let out a long sigh. The silence was almost too much to bear even with his back turned before Paige clicked her tongue tapping her foot with a hand on her hip. Eric's and Evelyn's smile were unwavering.]]
[center [+purple Ugh... Just call me.. Well..]]
[center [b She thought for a moment. Her face was soft for a moment before coming back to it's usual fierce expression. "What to tell them..? " Paige didn't want her name to be apart of this place. She wanted her old life.. As far from this one as possible.]]
[center [+purple Stop looking at me like that it's starting to creep me out. Just call me... Snow White, or Snow I guess. Hey.. what about quiet and sulking in the corner over there?]]
[center [b "Eek! Don't say anything.. Just stay quiet Rex.. Just.. Pretend to sleep. Eric had looked in the corner as Evelyn sighed, it was clear that wasn't her real name.]]
[center [+brown Oh him? He just gave me his silly old code name. He goes by Rex... You think maybe he forgot his name?]]
[center [+darkgreen Maybe!]]
[center [b Evelyn had chirped in.]]
[center [+brown Right?]]
[center [+purple What? Seriously? Maybe he just doesn't wanna share his name with a stranger, thought of that?]]
[center [+brown ..Oooh!]]
[center [+darkgreen ..Oooh!]]
[center [+brown Wait.. Does that mean you're name isn't real either???]]
[center [b Paige had facepalmed for a moment shaking her head. Before she looked over the man with ashen hair. "Should I approach him? Hmm.. He could be sleeping.. Is he? I did hear a pretty sharp exhale of breath.. Hmm.. It'd be rude to just.. Approach him right? I mean.. Do I really have the luxury of such niceties? I don't wanna come off like a loose cannon like these two. Maybe.. I'll just leave him alone for now." Paige wasn't really eager to talk anyway. She was never really a people person, before and doubly so after this little "lab trip."]]
