I waited in the hall for awhile, but I got bored. I guess my teammates were having too much fun playing with the mutant dogs. I shivered when I thought about them, and pushed from my spot against the wall and headed down the hall. There were lots of rooms in this place. I ducked into a weapons storing room and looked for something that seemed like it would be fun to play with.
I picked up a strange looking device and it emitted a high pitched sound that instantly made me scream and drop it. It hit the floor and broke into pieces. "Whoops...." I looked around to see if anyone had seen, and then kicked the pieces under the table. "Stupid sensitive ears...." I'd had enough of this room.
Down a different hall was the living quarters. It consisted of a few bathrooms, a mess hall, and two sleeping rooms. One for men and the other for women. I then found the medic hall. It seemed well supplied so that was a plus. Maybe they could help Chuckles with his arm.
I turned and headed to the farthest hall in the place, and that's when I smelt it. That sterile smell...the faint smell of blood...a shiver went up my spine. This was the testing wing. There was a room for making and testing weapons. I went by it and looked in the next room, and froze. It was full of testing specimens. Some of them were surge. They were in pens with clear walls. There were specimens in jars...surge...animal...and human. I ran out of the room and almost threw up when I saw where I had run to.
It was a small white room with a table. Strapped onto the table was a dissected Screech. The stench of death hit me and I ran...right into Des. "Whoa...Rei, are you ok?? What happened? You're awful pale...and you're covered in sweat!" I looked back at the room and then grabbed Des's arm. "It doesn't matter....don't worry about it." She yanked her arm back. "What was in that room?" She started to go back. Just as she was about to see I covered her eyes with my hand. "It's nothing you need to see. Let's just go." I spun her around and pushed her in front of me.
"So where are the others??" She sighed. "Charles still has them all playing with the pack....I got bored and wondered where you had wandered off to." I nodded. "He would....I just...don't like dogs." She looked over at me. "Cat thing?" She giggled. "Maybe you really are a furry." I didn't say anything and she turned thinking she had offended me. "I'm sorry Rei...I didn't mean." "I am almost a cat you know...." She didn't say anything. "I've had so many tests run on me it's not even funny. They picked me up off the streets actually...and I was just supposed to be a test subject. They thought I would die. The cat genes were the first thing they did to me though. They wanted to see how far they could mix me. Guess I'm just lucky I didn't grow fur, ears, or a tail...I get enough sh*t like this and all that's different on the outside are my eyes, fangs, and really sharp nails."
Des was just listening. I wondered what she was thinking. "When they tried to make my blood acidic was when I almost died." In fact I had had a few close calls. "After I they had been successful they thought I'd make a good soldier." I chuckled. "I don't think they had taken into account my catlike attitude. And my temper." Des looked up. "Your parents just let them take you??" I looked down. "My parents died when I was three...I don't remember them. So I guess I was like most other orphans in Haven. You learned how to survive and sometimes you would get captured and experimented on. And usually you died then...since we run the streets like rats it gave them good excuses to use us to test what the human body could withstand."
We had made it back to the room and I could hear Chuckles inside playing with the pack. "AWES I LOVE YOU DOGGIES! I WANT TO TAKE YOU WITH ME! BUT YOU WOULD EAT MY FACE AND CHASE MY FURRY UP A TREE!"....."HAHA WAIT I ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE THAT!!!" I growled and Des chuckled. "So help me if he brings one of those out here with him...."
