Chapter one: Subject Zero

I opened my eyes and saw the cell I was in opening, and heard the loud creaking noise it always made.

“Get up, subject zero” I heard someone call, I looked up.

That was what Ivan, a scientist, called me—the scientist—who experiments on humans like they were objects of his to him. 

If they fail his experiments he does to them, they’d get punished and tortured back in their cells.

I hear their screams every night, I’d cover both my ears, crying about what would happen to me.

I don’t remember anything in my past, except being in Ivan’s lab all my life. Furthermore, I had forgotten who I am now.

Likewise, I slowly walked out the cell doors.

“Come, your next.” A shiver down my spine, I was scared what would happen to me, I did as he asked me to do. No questions asked, I have followed him like he said.

The next day I woke up and was back in my cell and since that day everything was a blur. Not knowing what happened, I followed Ivan.

I got up and was terrified. I don’t remember anything, what did they do to me? Not only that, but I was scared to death.

“Why does my body hurt…? Did I fail? Am I being punished?” I then heard someone open the door, I looked to see who it was, and it was Ivan, an evil scientist.

“Of course not, you actually passed.” He chuckled, looking at me, both his hands in his pockets.

“What do you mean I passed?” I was shaking. I asked him, he then grinned and put both his arms in the air “Subject zero” I don’t remember my name, not a single idea what it was.

Furthermore, I looked at him, waiting for his response back “you are the only one who didn’t fail” I passed… Of his experiences, I needed further details.

“You still look confused my dear” he said to me looking with satisfaction, “all this time, trying to create the perfect subjects as weapons were all failures… but you… You are the only one different from the others.”

“Weapon?” What did he mean by that, “yes the perfect weapon, I finally found you, subject zero.” I didn’t know what to say back.

He smiled. His eyes glowing with excitement, Ivan turned around and walked away, closing the doors with a grin.

What’s going to happen to me? All I know is I need to find a way out.

But what about the others here? I had to focus on something else though, and it was to get out of here before something worse could happen to me.

The next day, I tried to plan to leave.

I looked around and found a hair pin, “was a different girl here before me…?” I questioned looking at the hair pin, Ivan’s bodyguards would constantly change everyone to a different cell every week. Not only that, but I didn't understand why they did, but I used the hair pin to try to unlock the cell door.

When I started to, I heard the loud door open and stopped right away. I stepped back to the cold walls of the cell, I hid the hair pin quickly so they wouldn’t find it.

I saw Ivan’s guards with two girls and one boy. Ivan has found three newbies to experiment on, yet again.

I wonder if they remember their names and past, if they did, that’ll be surprising to me since I don’t know mine.

Ivan takes males and females for his gain, ones that have blue crystal - like eyes, in this world, those who have blue eyes are rare to find, and I’m one of them, that’s the only thing I know about Ivan.

I didn’t know about the experience of him using humans to be weapons like soldiers, his army basically, and I’m the only one who passed to be one and that terrifies me.

I want to figure out a way out, but also I aim to know what he intends to do by taking people as test subjects.

He has to have files of them because he would need information on each one of them, right? That would mean I have one too, and I need to get my hands on it.

Ivan came back again like always, and he walked down the hall of cells to probably find his next victim.

Which might be the two girls or that boy, the girls and that boy all have blonde hair, not surprisingly honestly. 

The two girls have pale skin and the boy has tan skin. 

The same hair colors only black, brown, and blonde hair. Nothing like mine. My red hair stood out the most and being born with blue eyes worsens it for me.
