The Werewolf Experiment

Chapter 7

The waiting was excruciating. I didn't know how long we had been waiting. The girl was still on the table.

"Time," the woman said. The doctor nodded and began undoing the binging around the girl's wrists and legs. Once that was done, the guard picked her up. Her body was limp, the same as the others that were taken back to the cafeteria. "Alright. Next is subject one nine nine nine." The woman said once the guard had come back. It repeated like an endless cycle. The screaming and crying. The waiting. I knew at this point we had been here for hours. The third person was on the table and I assumed his time was almost up. I looked at the girl beside me and I could tell she was terrified that she was next. She was visibly shaking. I shook my head as they took the third person off of the table.

"No. Please, no. I'll take her injection please. I'll take both of ours," I shouted out. No one said anything. I could hear the footsteps of the guard coming back. "Please!" I sobbed. I looked back at the girl beside me. I had never seen someone shake so much in my life. I could see the man walk past my cage and stop in the cage next to me. He unlocked it and the girl began to scream. It sent chills down my spine. It sounded like one of those screams you would hear in horror movies. The man reached into the cage and managed to grab one of her legs as she was trying to kick him. He yanked her forward, making her unable to keep herself in her cage. I reached my arm through my cage, grabbing onto her hand. I pressed my feet against my cage, trying to use that as leverage to save her.

"Assistance please." I heard the woman say. For a brief moment, I thought another guard was coming to help pull her out of the cage, but I was so wrong. Another guard came up to my cage with his taser and held it to my skin. I instantly felt the jolting pain rush through my body. I let out a scream of my own until the taser was taken off of my body. I fell limp into the back of my cage as the man carried the girl to the table. It took me a while to be able to move my body again. I felt so weak. The girl was on the table, unable to move. She had already been injected with the serum that they were putting in everyone. I sat up and leaned against the back of my cage more comfortably. I felt defeated. I couldn't help the girl. I wanted to protect her and keep them from hurting her but I failed. I looked at the girl and saw that she was silently crying.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. You're going to be okay alright." I said out loud. She turned her head to my direction and nodded just a little. I saw her take a deep breath and close her eyes. "We have to be strong, okay. Don't give these people the satisfaction of your tears. They don't deserve it. Just conserve your energy, okay." I said to her. She nodded again and closed her eyes. Her breathing calmed down and soon it seemed as if she was asleep. I sat and watched her the entire time she was lying there. My stomach was growing and my eyes were burning from being so tired.

"Alright time." the woman said. I saw the guard walk around the table undoing her bindings. When the guard picked her up she was limp. Her arm fell to her side and her head hung down over the guard's arm. His footsteps disappeared just as fast as they returned. He walked over to my cage and opened it. He reached in to grab me but when he did I slapped his hand away.

"I am perfectly capable of getting out on my own," I said to him. He looked at me and then to the woman. "What am I going to do, run? The walls open only when you want them to. There's literally nowhere I can go. I would just rather not go at this kicking and screaming like everyone else has. You don't get that from me." I spat out at them.

"As you wish," the woman replied. The guard backed away from my cage, allowing me the space I would need to get out. I slowly scooted out of the cage and dropped my feet onto the floor. My legs were shaking. I was afraid, but I only hoped that they couldn't see that. I walked to the table and turned around.

"You can lift me onto the table now." I said as I looked up at the guard who had followed me here. He placed his hands on either side of my waist and placed me on the table. "I have questions. I want to know why you are doing this." I said out loud. I hope the lady knew I was asking her the questions.

"You know, you are the first to have the reaction that you've had. You offered to take another's dose. You offered her comfort and tried your best to keep her in her cage. I have high hope for you subject 1202."

"That's not my name. I am not a subject. My name is-"

"I don't care what your name is. You asked why I'm doing this. It's simple. Evolution is done for the human race. The only way forward is through experimentation. That's why all of you are here. If this is successful, then you and the rest of your group can have everything you could ever want. You'll be powerful. More powerful and majestic than you could ever imagine." She said. She sounded like someone talking about something that they love doing. She was excited, to say the least.

"How many people have you done this to?" I asked. I was surprised that she was talking to me.

"You are subject 1202, so why don't you use a little common sense on that one?" She said monotonically.

"Where are we?"

"What does that matter? You have clothing on your back, food in your stomach and you're indoors. You don't have to face the harsh weather every day anymore. All I ask of you is to cooperate and pass your trials. You and your boyfriend had the right idea. You need to get strong and pass. That's all you need to do."

"How did you know we said that?"

"I know everything that you all say. I see everything. Even in your rooms. There are no secrets that can be kept from me."

"What's in the syringe?" I asked.

"That's classified, and even if I was to tell you, you wouldn't possibly understand the science behind it. Just know that that is what is going to help you get stronger. Now you've asked enough questions. I only provided answers because of the leadership that you showed here today. Your actions will be rewarded. Remember that. Now we need to proceed." She ended. I looked at the guard and the doctor that were standing near me. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Gentle with my arm would you?" I asked the guard as I swung my legs onto the table. I laid flat on the table as the guard walked around securing my arms and legs. The doctor walked over to me with the syringe filled and ready. He lowered it to my arm and inserted it. It stung just a bit but the pain quickly went away. Minutes passed and I felt pain in my arm. It felt as if someone was putting a small amount of pressure on it. I clenched my jaw and closed my eyes, willing the pain to go away. I needed as much energy as I could get, for when they dumped us in the cafeteria. I knew right now that the girl was most likely just laying there on the floor. I could feel my strength leaving me though and I knew that wasn't good.
