*There has been a note posted in the Sign-Up. Read It before you post*

Sirens blared and crimson light swept across the desolate area. A commotion brewed, and the noise was deafening as hundreds of heavy feet stamped across the area, kicking up thick clouds of dust.
Around a corner came running a lean boy, appearing to be in his late teens, clad in a ripped tank top and ragged gray pants. The shirt was emblazoned with a large blue ?E?, which was imposed over a biohazard sign. His thick, dark hair was hanging limply over his face, his long bangs dangling in front of his pristine blue eyes. His bare feet slapped on the dusty ground.
Behind him came a small army of men, each clad in identical blue military-style outfits, wielding high-caliber automatic rifles.
?Halt!? cried the man in front of the army. His chest bore a golden E, to signify his rank.
The teenager stopped, and whirled upon the soldiers. His eyes were filled with fear, and his panting breath was ragged. Sweat trickled down his face.
The officer made a short hand signal, pointed at the teen. Two men dropped their weapons and moved forward.
When the kid moved to run, the officer cried out again.
?Stop! We won?t hurt you if you come with us peacefully!?
As the two men grew closer, the teen became more and more nervous.
?Stupid Evo,? grumbled one man, grabbing the teen?s arm with one bare hand.
As soon as he did so, he let out a hideous shriek. When he pulled his hand away, the flesh of his palm was shown, appearing burned and raw.
The teen let out a roar and swung put with one arm, his forearm slamming into the soldier?s chest. The soldier was sent flying, clearing the ground and crashing into the unit.
The other man, wearing gloves, went to grab the kid again. When he noticed, the teen snarled, and a large spike ejected from his wrist. His jabbed forward, the spike piercing the soldier?s stomach.
The soldier paled and gurgled, his face twisting into agony.
?Prepare to fire!? roared the officer.
The fallen soldiers scrambled to their feet, and the men in front readied their weapons.
The teen wrenched the spike free from the soldier?s stomach. Blood spurted from the wound, and the tip of the spike was coated in the crimson liquid. As he heard the guns cocking, he whirled and headed towards a large stone wall that was at least 20 feet tall, topped by barbed wire.
?You have nowhere to run! Surrender now!? bellowed the officer.
The teen turned his head and, seeing the wall of firearms, resumed his charge at the wall.
?Fine! Men, FIRE!? roared the officer, pointing at the teen.
The teen crouched briefly, then flew over the wall, his legs springing him forward, clearing the wall by at least 10 feet vertically and coming down 15 yards from the wall?s base. As soon as he hit the ground, he was running full force away from the building, not noticing the speed at which the sky whirled past.

A small, blonde figure waited by one of the computer terminals. A few others filled the small lab, periodically checking and making adjustments on some of the machines. In a tank of water, a human figure was swimming, cutting through the water easily. The two guards shifted uncomfortably, stretching their tired muscles. They were bored, tired of watching this odd mutant, tired of guarding against an "unknown factor" that could turn "potentially dangerous." They saw no danger in the girl. What threat could she pose?

"Dr. Smith?" one of the scientists called. The blonde figure looked up, and then abandoned her post beside the computer terminal. She went to check on the monitors, and then spoke quietly with the scientist. She returned, watching the screen like a hawk.

In her mind, her memories returned. How long...had they been on this project? She had been a young, fresh mind when she had discovered the Organization, a group that she thought would revolutionize humankind. And, in a way, they had. She had been assigned to this specimen when she was 22, and now she was 34. She wasn't old; in fact, reaching the prime of life. And she was worried.

Slowly, the truth had come out behind the Organization. Not the whole truth, but enough to reveal that what they had in mind wasn't all good, wasn't all that she had thought. Instead, the secrets ran darker, deeper...and she had been mortally frightened by what she had found. Her eyes went to the tank, where the girl swam. Would that girl have been a normal girl, playing in a pool today? What other future would there be for her, if she hadn't been...transformed?

Dr. Smith shook her head, banishing the melancholy thoughts. They were unnecessary tangents; she couldn't afford to have thoughts like that, because then, then she would start questioning...and that was too dangerous. Her memories returned again...

It had been two days ago that the higher authorities in the Organization had contacted her. They had told her that she was to be moved to another project today. When she asked what would happen to the test subject, they had told her that she didn't need to know. Instantly, warning bells rang in her head. But she hadn't been able to do anything. Nothing, and she felt her anger build at her frustration. Now she waited, wanting to somehow warn...the girl. Secretly she had given her a name: Veiya.

How had the bond formed? She didn't know. Veiya, on the outside, was no different than any of the others she had seen. She could almost pass for a normal human. Perhaps that was why she had felt a slight tug in her heart for Veiya; Veiya had always shown a wish to be normal. Instead of raging against her captors, she had tried to befriend them. But after a few years of failure, she had slowly given up, becoming silent and meek.

Indeed, if Dr. Smith hadn't known that she was a project of the Organization, she would never have known it. Her...powers were so...diminished compared to some of the others. They were still extraordinary, but... Dr. Smith had watched the inquisitive Veiya, secretly forming a silent bond... a tentative smile here, a knowing wink there...and it had gone on, until they had become...almost friends.

Dr. Smith waited dutifully by the computer terminal now, waiting for her transfer notice, waiting for her next project. A message flashed up, distracting her from the memories. She looked down.

*Project Alert*

She opened the message, looking for her new work station, and stopped.

*Termination of Project #10056 confirmed as of 1100 hours. Await live confirmation by wire*

The phone rang, and her heart thudded as she picked it up, "Yes?"

An emotionless voice answered, "Termination of Project #10056 is confirmed. Terminate the test subject. The facility should be evacuated by 1145. Understood?"

She barely was able to breath. "Yes," she answered. She put down the phone, and then deleted the message, checking to make sure the guards hadn't noticed, but they had. She made her decision. "Come on, we just received an order from the top."

The other scientists grouped and came toward her, and she motioned for the guards to join. "We just received notice that we have to transport the test subject."

"What?? Move it?" a voice asked.

She nodded, keeping her calm, businesslike manner, "Yes, move it. They're evacuating the facility. We have to be out by 1130, and we have to take the test subject with us. They're moving the project to a different location. Let's go." They all scurried, putting Veiya into a restraining device, and packing up all the machines. It was a procedure they had practiced dozens of times.

Dr. Smith was the last to walk out of the lab, closing the door behind her. They walked through the other halls, the two guards carrying the device that held Veiya. Suddenly, the alarm bells went off, and the sirens turned on. The intercom turned on, repeating its warning message: *BREACH IN SECURITY. RETURN TO YOUR STATIONS. BREACH IN SECURITY. YOU ARE TO RETURN TO YOUR...*

The group was confused, and Dr. Smith immediately took command, "We have to keep moving. The top orders are that we are to evacuate the facility. Lets go."

One of the guards stopped her, "Dr., I think it's better if we go back to the lab. We should obey the orders of-"

"NO! We have to go! The door is right there! It's just around the corner! You're crazy if you think we're going back!" The guards drew their weapons, and some of the scientists screamed. The game was up now; she could see it in the guards' faces. They knew what she was playing, somehow..but no time for that now. She instantly took hold of one of their weapons, firing shots into each of them. "Help me!" she cried to the rest of the scientists. Some of them scrambled to obey, while the rest ran. More shots were fired, and she felt something go into her abdomen. Looking down, she saw red spill out onto her white lab coat. She aimed and fired again. Screaming filled her ears, and she tried to run.

It was all dizzy...she couldn't walk. But she forced herself to. She watched herself break open the device holding Veiya, watched herself shoot open the lock on the door to the outside world. Veiya...her sweet face was frightened, confused by the chaos surrounding her. And when she saw the scarlet on Dr. Smith's body, she licked it to taste what it was. And then, Dr. Smith shouted at her, "Run! Run Veiya! Run run run run run!!" And pushed her through the door, and slammed it.

Inside, Dr. Smith fired crazily at the guards; they just didn't seem to die. They must have body armour...and she was getting dizzy...she looked at her watch to see what time it was....1142...3 minutes to go. She propped her body against the door.

Veiya heard the screaming echoing behind the door, and looked around her. Strange, everything was strange. She wanted to explore everything, but...run run run run run...it reverberated in her head. She ran. As best she could, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, unaccustomed to the hard ground, the bright light, the strange smells and sights. But she ran, because that's what...that's what SHE had told her to do. Then a huge blast knocked her off of her feet. When she looked back, a huge fireball had enveloped the area, and smoke and dust were spreading. She looked, and then got up and ran again. Ran away from the fire and ashes...of an old life.
