Snippet #2376570

"Happy Birthday SERAPH." A tall woman whispered into the air holes of a small metal cargo shipping crate that she and two other men were guarding. The sound of chains rustling could be heard from inside and she instantly backed up and jammed a high-voltage cattle prod into the box shocking the cargo with 100,000 volts of electricity. Yep, happy twenty-first birthday Andrew. Look at what they have reduced you to, chained up in the fetal position, and shocking you every time you make the slightest sound. Just one of these days I want them to put me out of my misery. They wont even let me charge the horns on my back so I can break out of these chains. Which actually wouldn't benefit them much as it would me. Andrew thought silently to avoid another jolt from the cattle prod and could feel the heavy sedatives start to kick in and his body start to go into a deep sleep.

---Dream---

In his dream Andrew was sixteen again on the day of his mothers and father's death. "Mom where is it that you want to go? I've lived here my entire life and I don't understand why you want us to leave." Andrew questioned his mother as she suggested the idea of fleeing the Archangels's testing facility. "Andy, please there's a better world out there then this place. There's so much more that you can do with your life then just being a lab rat here!" Andrew's mother attempted at convincing him when an alarm blared and shots fired at the two of them.

"Run mom, I'll shield us!" Andrew grabbed the metal wall and bent it so that it was shielding them from the bullets. His adrenaline was pumping and bolts of electricity were shooting from the two bumps sticking out of his shoulders. After the boy had smashed his way outside of the base he and his mother had to get away from the heavily guarded perimeter. "Look Andrew a way out!" His mother yelled and made a dash for a hole in the electric fence.

"No way they're that sloppy, Mom no!" Andrew yelled, but a single shot rang out and pierced the back of his mother's head. Andrew traced the shot to a gun that was held by his very own father, when he saw this he ran to his mother's dead body and started to sob sending thousands of volts of electricity to his shoulders. Suddenly a massive flash of light and a nuclear explosion went off destroying everything around them reducing almost everything but Andrew to ash and molten metal. Some time later an Archangels clean up team arrived and retrieved the distraught test subject forcing him into an underground containment facility for further notice.
