The heart of of the beast

The Experiments 1

Carlos had became accustomed to his surrounding after been there for along time, even the guards who drag out of the cells had stopped and all they the did now was open the cell gate and he would walk out freely. He had no idea what day of the month it was or which month of the year they were in, it felt like he had been in the cell and laboratory for years, they were not allowed to go outside and anything, the last time he had seen the sun raise or set was the day that he was taken. And it had come to his knowledge that he had been one of lucky two to survive the experiments and preparations of the serums that were made and tested on them. From the time he had been there , he had seen so many of the people they brought in loss there sanity and life one by one in their group due to a failed experiment or the body rejecting the serum, from the group he found only Peter survived, and from his group only him had made it, they had lost count of how many people had died or where never brought back to there cell or ever seen again, especially the ones that died during the time of experiment. Every time he was taken up there , he would pray that this would his day to die or lose his life but the answers to his prayers never came answered. Lately he had noticed he would recover fast or react better to the experiments and at times he felt it was because he body had gotten used to the condition he was in, when others could not even make through the first weeks and others never returned after been taken upstairs, its like they just disappeared and life continued like they were never there and soon they where replaced by others, they would be new people and faces in those empty cells, its like they had a garden of people somewhere , where they would get people ti replace the ones that didnt make it in a single heart beat .

He was tired and was worn out with the experiments and the chemicals and whatever they would inject into him with lately. He was glad they had not cut through into his flesh or done any major life treating experiments. Those hurt like hell and healing would take weeks, he would fight the guards with his life everytime they would come for him, just knowing the pain he would be in during and after they have taken what they need from him, and he would be weak and in pain for days, but lately he noticed his healing was not as slow as it used to be anymore, a cut would heal in a matter of days and would not hurt for a long time. And this time what they injected him with nolonger draining the life out of him cause previously he would be in pain and his body would shut down for days before it recovers, he had come to learn that the less he fault, the less pain he felt. Now he would recover quickly but when he started seeing these small changes he just thought it was due to the unhealthy environment or his body had gotten used to whatever was been done or given to him.

He had stopped fighting the guards that would come to take him to the labs and he would walk out from his cell freely with them at times even have a conversation with them. But he still hated been here and he had become some how used to the place and that he was not going to escape anytime or any day soon. He and Peter he spend time looking around for way to escape every time they were taken upstairs or had been given little bit of freedom they would look around, and every night they would plan there escape with small details they picked up on a particular day. As time and days went by so did that energy and zeal the had tp excape, had soon came to fade out and die. Lately the guards had stopped heavily locking their cells and would let them have a shower every once a week, but mostly before they are taken to see the doctor. He and Peter were the only survivors from the group and even the ones that had come through the months, they had been there. He was laying down on the floor, thinking of his family how him and sister would fight or run around untill his mom would asure them that if she saw or heard any noises, they going to get each a wiping, how he and Anna would play with the children at the orphanage and how Annas smile had given would make everything around him disappear and only him and her existed. While he was lost in his day dreaming. His two favourite guards came in the dungeon and stopped by his cell, they greeted everyone and asked Carlos that he was wanted upstairs, they told him the scientists wanted to see him and have a word with him. They opened the door to his cell, they moved out of the to make way for him to pass and he walked out of his cell, and up the stairs they went to the place he had become to know well the past few months, he seat on his chair , after been in that position so many times he had became uncaring of his surrounding and what would be done to him.

While sitting there quietly looking around the room , he heard a sound of footsteps coming close to his room and there came his two favourite Doctors, they walked in room so gracefully with folders in their hands they both set opposite him. Dr Amber started to talk to him, she started to ask him questions on how he has been and how he slept and if noticed any changes or anything he would consider strange happen to him the past few days. Said the serum they had been giving him had some side effects and they needed to know what he was experiencing, the other doctor was examing him, checking his eyes, nails. Carlos did not know what to say so he lied to her and told her that he had not felt anything and still felt weak and drained some way as before nothing new. The two doctors started to talk among themselves like he wasn't there and every once in a while they would look at him. They went about on how they would have to increase the dose he was been given, to slightly enhance and speed up the process hopefully this way they would see more results. So far subject 51 they called him had shown good results, they noticed his boby and skin had been toned and the blood test showed he was very compatible with the serums they were injecting him with so far, and its was time they tried to combine his gens with animal gens, just to see if his body would be compatible and come accept any mutation serum added to him and see if it would change in his DNA but they would have to keep a close eye on him so they don't miss out any changes.

They started by taking some samples of his blood, they needed to test his blood cells and see if they try to combine with their newly made serum, this would help them test the serum without giving it directly to the test candidate, just incase it would fail they could not afford to loss him at this stage his reached, they were taking heavy measures advance to ordet to prevent something dangerous, unpleasant, or inconvenient from happening to there candidates who had passed all other stages They needed to see the progress of the tissue samples they had taken for some days, meaning the actual mutation serum will take time to be used on him and if the results came out negative they would not proceed till its ready , they were not taking any chances, he was one of their most compatible subjects they had. He had shown to have worked well with previous tests and now they were beginning the actual animal-human gen mixed mutation and enhanced serum hopefully they have a man with strong animal senses for example smell, sight and sound or strength and speed. They were happy to have found a human being who could take the research and work to the next level regardless of how far and how many people had failed and had died the past months they were will push through and make this work. If this went through it would change there carries and there lives, the military from the time they originally come from was in high support of there work cause for them it would be an advantage when it came to war and other fights they had to face.

Carlos on the other hand was scared and worried he did not understand a thing they said ,what did the two scientists mean when they talked about going further in their experiments and adding animal DNA to his original DNA. All he knew was that he had to find a way to escape, cause if he did not, he would never see his mother and sister or his friends and especially Anna, he would die with whatever he was been given and no matter what these people never even going to let him go. He had to find a way out in order to survive. The two Doctors went on with drawing an amount of blood from him, asked the guards to change his diet to give him more healthy food and lost of fluid as the next drug will require his body been in good shape and health. They spoke to him on the importance of him eating and doing what his told in order for him to survive what was coming.

Carlos mentally laughed in his head, like why would he refuse to eat any food or drink anything they would give him, its not like he had a choice on that. They had been times they would not be feed and given any water for days and they would strave, it used to be unpleasant. This people where evil and cruel, he thought most of the victims that died, died more on starvation and an overdose of what was given to them in those circumstances and less on the drugs or chemicals infusion would only react to the human body negatively. Imagine someone has had food or water for days and then been induced with high doses of drugs filled with chemicals they used in the experiments. And the condition of there stay was barbaric, no lights and they were not allowed to live there cell unless when been taken up to the labs and sleeping on hard floors and where kept like wild animals. He could not even remember the last time he had a proper bath or brushed his teeth. He missed his home and came to appreciate the little things his family had. So them offering and asking him to eat and have what his was given was a blessing to him. He would even share what he would given with others in the dungeon. With his last thought some new form of hope rose up in him. They were done with him for the day and told him they where going to see him in a number of days, once they were done working on the samples they got and had the results they expected, they would begin the process of mutation. They sent him off and began working on his samples, they needed to start the mutation process as soon as possible .
