Erin Finch's Story

Axel was awoken by a sudden thud sound against the wall. He looked over to see Erin had punched the wall. She then yelled, "Idiot." He saw that everyone was back but were all very upset. He didn't wanna to cause worse tension about what happened so he just sat there quietly. He heard Erin say, "Well that is just great!" In a very sarcastic tune, now he was really confused on what happened. Not to long after Monica came and snatched Shayla out of the room. To Axel it seemed everything had fallen apart while he had napped. The next thing he know Destiny came by the dorms and took Emily away. She then came back later and said, "Class now. I'll give you two minutes to get into the gym and into a single file line. In alphabetical order. Anyone who fails will be the target for this class." Axel gets up out of the bed and sees that Erin is very scared. He gives her a look that says, 'I try and protect you the best I can.' Axel went and lined up at the very first spot since his name began with 'A'. Axel heard Erin say, "Where is Emily?" He was curious about this too and asked, "What did you do to her you heartless monster?"

Axel stood there none too impressed at Destiny summoning him to a class. Destiny looked upset that everyone was in place and in alphabetical order. She snapped and said, "Well, you don't need to know what happened with her, just know that if you don't shut up Erin will be facing the same fate." She walked down the line and said, "Erin step into the center of the gym, and get down to your knees." She pushed Erin forward and evilly said, "I want to see how hard Jason will work to keep you alive." Destiny sat and bit her lip looking like she wanted to say something. She then began to talk while an evil smile came across her face.

"I want to see how hard Jason will work to keep you alive." She looked at Axel while saying, "I want Axel to, while Jason your to do laps around the gym. At the end of every lap your to do twenty push-ups, and for every two minutes it takes you, Axel will be forced to whip Erin until I decide to stop you." Axel looked at her in disgust at that very comment. She cuffed Erin and hooked the handcuff to a ring on the floor. Destiny then came over and handed Axel the whip. Destiny yelled, "Begin" Axel just looked at her and thought about how if he tried to protect Erin it might get worse. He didn't care he would try his best to try and help at all. He looked right at Destiny and yelled, "What if I refuse to whip her? What are you gonna do beat me instead? I'm sure no one here would be upset if that happened at all."

With that he threw the whip on the ground right by her feet. He then pulled off his shirt,which showed his new and greatly defined muscles, and knelt right in front of Destiny with his back to her. "Come on whip me if you're women enough. I think you'll have more fun making a fun grown man flinch in pain. I'm sure you have been dying to get a look at my body. Maybe even beat me a little come on you know you want to." He looked back at her with a giant smile, he saw she was absolutely pissed at him. He didn't care he was ready for this beating she was about to give.

Axel wasn't really surprised Destiny didn't beat him. But, he was that she picked up the whip and didn't surprisingly hit him. She looked at him and said, "You will learn your place here one way or another." She then turned and quickly hit Erin with the whip creating a loud crack noise. She then swiftly pulled out her knife and stabbed Erin in the shoulder, while leaving the knife in it, which caused her to let out a horrible scream. "Now refuse me again, I dare you." Destiny said while trying to intimidate him. She went on with, "You'll just make it worse for her." Then Destiny went and pulled the blade quickly out of Erin's shoulder. "Now as I said earlier. Begin!" And with that Destiny handed Axel back the whip while smiling cruelly. Axel thought about what he had just caused and remembered doing the same thing to Candace. With that thought he fell to his knees crying while looking up to Destiny. He sobbed out, "P-please don't make me do this. It only reminds me of what happened to C-candace and how I caused all her pain and s-suffering. If I were to whip Erin I'm pretty sure I'd kill her p-please don't make me do this. I'm not normal anymore, because of that drug Adrian gave me. S-so please don't make me hit her have s-someone else do it. But please don't have m-me do it please Destiny don't." He bowed down to Destiny's boots begging her and just kept crying while tightly holding the whip in his arms. He couldn't think of what would happen if he hit her hard with the whip. He then looked back up with teared filled eyes to see what Destiny was gonna do and say.

Jason Conelly

He couldn’t keep time in his head anymore, the blood was rushing through his ears and his arms and legs felt as if they were on fire. He barely noticed the interaction between Axel, Destiny and Erin. He felt as if he were going to collapse on his feet. He was getting light headed and was seeing spots through his vision. Almost suddenly Axel was running next to him, and in the back of his mind his ears had heard and remembered for him that he was now supposed to do more work in order for Erin not to be hurt. His breathing was coming in short gasps, his lungs feeling as if they were on fire along with the rest of his lungs. That’s when his legs gave out on him; he couldn’t get them to work much more. He collapsed to the ground with a groan and started coughing. He was to weak but he pushed himself back up, legs shaking, unable to hold him up and he collapsed again.

(Sorry it's short, it's a little late XD)

Shanae Vena

Tears rolled down her face as Daniel fell to his knees before falling to the floor. Her vision was badly blurred and she could barely see his limp form. Adrian had killed another. She had watched so many...even with all the others Daniel felt different. He had almost made her feel as though he could get them out. She choked on the memory. She had only known him for a short time, but she had half trusted him. That was rare. Truly the only person she trusted was Shayla. The thought sent another torrent of tears down her face. Who knew what was happening to Shay? Everyone she'd ever trusted had been hurt. Mel, dead, Shay continuously tortured and now Daniel… Shanae stayed silent as the minutes ticked by and Adrian waited till the gas was less concentrated. Her head ached and the sorrow of loosing yet another one continually racked her body in the form of silent sobs.
Adrian stalked forward and unlocked the door to the case opening it and catching Shanae's head as he did so. The red haze quickly dispersed, no longer concentrated enough to do damaged. Shanae stumbled forward to reach Daniel, before Adrian quickly caught her by the waist, dragging her out of the room. Through her tears, Shanae could barely see Daniel, but Adrian quickly quenched any idea that he was alive.
"Shanae give up" he growled at her as he forcibly removed her from the room "I've killed many before, and he won't be the last"
Shanae went still allowing him to drag her from the room and down the hallway. She sensed she was not going back to the dorms, but the knowledge ceased to worry her as her sorrow continued to eat away at her. She no longer cared as Adrian hauled her to the corner of the cell before picking up one of the chains on the ground and snapping one of the clasps onto her thin wrist. He threw her onto the floor, before kneeling down to her level.
"You've seen so many others die Shanae, why so much fuss for him?" Adrian lowered his voice even further "You only endanger those you become attached to Shanae. Every single one I have killed, slowly and painfully...Shayla will be the last, then you can follow her."
Shanae remained motionless, curled up in the corner. She drew her knees up to her chest, her dark hair falling over her face hiding the pain and sorrow. She leaned against the corner of the room, wishing herself away. If only he had listened...she had been forced to watch him die and soon she would see Shay follow before Adrian turned to her. The tears continued to trickle slowly down her face, and she made no attempt to stop them.


Adrian Carlos

Adrian smirked as he left Shanae to his misery. He knew Daniel wasn't dead, but in her hysteria, Shanae had missed that fact so he had left it that way. She could mourn him for a while. The only regret was how silently Daniel had fallen unconscious. He had been hoping for a more violent, painful end. It seemed that the sensation had almost pleased Daniel and that had angered him. At least Shanae's reaction was satisfying. He could use that small bond she had with Daniel later.
He walked back into the experiment chamber before the phone rang.
Picking it up, Adrian's face darkened.
"Now? I am in the middle of something now, I won't move them…"
If it was possible, his face darkened even further.
"Fine. But I insist on have rights with them. I have seven at the moment. I'll change the last one now in order to be ready for your arrival. You could have given me a little more time than a few hours."
Adrian snapped the last bit out before slamming the handset down into the cradle.
He needed to collect them all.
He first went straight down to Destiny's class.
"I need them all upstairs in the room to the right of my own. All against the wall like Shanae. I'll take Erin, but I need Jason and Axel there now"
He grabbed Erin by the wrist hauling her along to the chamber.

"You are going to do exactly what I say, or so help me I will kill you all. I don't have time to mess with rebels today" Adrian spat through gritted teeth. This time he meant every word he said. He needed this to work and he needed it to work now. This was when he was his most dangerous, he was no longer so rational to make sure that he was careful about punishments. In this sort of state one wrong move would kill you.

Jason Conelly

Jason vaguely heard Axel from somewhere in the gym urging him to keep going, that he was doing better than almost anyone else would. He almost felt good for himself but pushed those thoughts away, or rather it felt like they were burned away. He was too exhausted and too tired to do much else. He was ready to collapse where he was and just let himself fall into unconsciousness when Adrian burst through the door. He paused where he was, legs shaking and vision slightly blurry, he looked over at Adrian, he was barking out orders again and they were supposed to be going somewhere. Adrian stalked forward and grabbed Erin, dragging her out of the room. Destiny yelled at him and Axel to get moving, but Jason didn’t know if he could even get his legs moving again. He had stopped them, and now he knew that moving them again would make them feel almost like jello. But he forced them to move, one step at a time, he almost made it to the door before he started seeing spots in his vision. The room tipped and swirled around him, his hand reached out to catch the door and missed, instead his shoulder slammed into it. He winced slightly as he fell against the door then splayed his hands on the rough surface to steady himself.

Adrian Carlos

"Wh. What's going on?"
Adrian ignored the girls question and continued to drag her into the chamber.
"Adrian" He turned and sure Monica coming up beside him.
"Nick was a success. I used Shay, and he's agreed to find your object. Shay's still alive. He's down there cleaning the room right now. Anything else you'd like me to do?"
Adrian couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride and satisfaction. Finally he might actually get there. Then he frowned. The stupid institute would interrupt him.
"Good. I need you to take Erin up and use the needle with the clear liquid on her. After you've finished that, get Daniel to the room on the right, use Shanae if he won't. I need everyone there in less then an hour. The Science Institution rang up, and insisted that the government needs our experiments to be tested. We're to take them to there, though I've made sure we'll get full rights of them. I am just going to have a quick chat to Nick, and then we'll get them all moving"
"Shanae"
The word came from the chamber, and Adrian couldn't help but roll his eyes. Daniel wasn't particularly subtle.
"That would be Daniel. At least he's awake now. Both he and Shanae have something going on, so they need to be watched. If they team up with Nick and Shayla we might have some trouble"
He didn't wait, but briskly walked back down the hall, leaving Erin to Monica's mercy.
When he finally reached the box, he through the door open to find both Nick and Shayla covered in blood.
"The colour suits you" Adrian said rather smugly "I here your ready to find what I am looking for. Good. You'll do it once we've moved you. After your finished here, which I can assure you will be quick" he gave them a pointed look before continuing "You are both to go the room to the right of my own"

Axel kept jogging when all of a sudden Adrian came bursting through the doors.He yelled , "I need them all upstairs in the room to the right of my own. All against the wall like Shanae. I'll take Erin, but I need Jason and Axel there now" He looked around and said, "You are going to do exactly what I say, or so help me I will kill you all. I don't have time to mess with rebels today" He was so angry the he had spit through his gritted teeth. Axel was happy to see him pissed he deserved it. Adrian took Erin away right when he did she said, "Wh. What's going on?" And they left with that, Destiny turned toward Axel and Jason. Destiny barked, "Alright you heard him. Get moving!" She lashed out the whip and hit Axel in the neck, he rubbed it a bit and looked at her. "Hey that stung a bit knock it off." She looked at them and said, [b]"If you have to, then carry Jason. Get any ideas and I'll kill him." She sat patiently at the door for them to leave. Axel watched as Jason started moving slowly towards the door. Axel was unsure if he would be able to make it all the way to the room. Sure enough Jason tripped and went to catch himself to no prevail. He missed the doorway with his hand and slammed his shoulder against it.

Jason fell down a bit on the door but started to pull himself up. Axel was not one to try and destroy another man's masculinity but felt so bad for Jason. "Hey man here I'll give you alittle break. It will make you feel alot better I'm sure." He offered his hand out to Jason and he gladly took it. Axel grabbed his hand helped him up and then said, "Alright Jason put your arms over my shoulder and I'll walk there for the two of us. And dont try to resist some of us need help every now and then, I'm sure you'll help me one of these times." So Jason put his arms over Axel's shoulders and Axel picked him up giving him a piggy back-ride, he propped Jason so he wouldn't have to hold on. He slowly walked so he wouldn't cause too much pain to Jason. He looked back at Destiny and said, "Well I'll be off hun I hope to see you again very soon." He walked slowly towards the stairs and couldn't tell if he was causing Jason too much pain. "Only alittle further and we will be there. Then we can relax as much as we need too."

He carefully took a few steps making sure he wouldn't lose his balance. He finally made it up to the top. He felt completed but for some reason Axel felt really hungry. He couldn't place his finger on it but his hunger seemed to of slowly gotten worse throughout the day. He finally made it to the room, and he found Shane up against the wall already. He looked at her and felt like something was completely wrong with her. "Are you okay?" He asked as he slowly walked over to the wall, so he could let Jason down so he could lean up against the wall. "And Jason are you feeling any better?" Axel looked at Jason with a look of concern he could understand how he felt. But he also waited to see what Shane had to say about herself.

"Good. I need you to take Erin up and use the needle with the clear liquid on her. After you've finished that, get Daniel to the room on the right, use Shanae if he won't. I need everyone there in less then an hour. The Science Institution rang up, and insisted that the government needs our experiments to be tested. We're to take them to there, though I've made sure we'll get full rights of them. I am just going to have a quick chat to Nick, and then we'll get them all moving" Monica nodded, taking in Adrian's orders quickly. She heard a soft mumble from the room and Adrian explained that it was Daniel and how him and Shanae seemed to have something. At this, Monica couldn't help, but raise her eyebrows. First Nick and Shayla, now Shanae and Daniel. Though, as it could be a problem for them, it could also be a great asset. At least it would be fairly easy to get any of the four to follow orders from here on out. Especially considering that the group happened to be the most rebellious of all the subjects.

When Adrian had left, he left Erin with her, and Monica sighed, grabbing onto the girls arm with an almost bruising grip. "Alright, you heard what he said. Give me any trouble and I'll kill you." She hissed and dragged her into the room with all of Adrian's experimental equipment in it. Daniel was still in the chamber, half awake, but she would get to him in a moment. First, Monica sat Erin down in a chair and strapped her feet to its legs before pulling over a small table, that she set before the girl. "Nervous?" Monica grinned wickedly and grabbed Erin's arm, holding it down on the table and turning it, wrist up. "Make a tight fist." She told the girl and slapped her wrist. When the vein showed up, Monica smiled and took the needle with the clear liquid, pressing its tip into the girls skin slowly. Once the needle was in, she forced the liquid into her victims blood before pulling the needle out of her skin again and replacing it with a soft cotton pad and bandage.

What would the injection do? She wondered, tossing the needle away and leaning back on one hip to watch Erin out of the corner of her eye. She wanted to see her reaction, but she had other orders to attend to. So instead, she crossed the room to the chamber Daniel was in and pulled him out, urging him to walk. She didn't shove him or push him, since she figured he was weak from whatever Adrian had done so she just gave him a slight nudge on the shoulder to make him move. "Come on Daniel. Walk." And she lead him from the room and down the hall to Adrian's room, stopping at the door on the right for a second to open it before pushing the boy in and closing the door again.

Monica sighed and ran her fingers through her dark hair, glancing down the hall. Now that Erin was changed, what was Adrian's bigger plan? How long until she was out of a job? She wondered to herself silently before heading back to the experiment room to check on Erin.

OOC: Ew. I'm sorry about how terrible this post is, but I'm not feelin' it tonight, next one will be better. Promise.

Adrian Carlos

Adrian watched as the last of the subjects were herded into the truck. He watched Destiny finish shoving Nick and Shayla in before walking over to Monica. He gestured for Destiny to join them.
"I'll drive with this blockhead" he jerked a thumb at the man behind him "in the truck, if you could follow in one of the black cars in the garage that would be great. " he lowered his voice, to the annoyance of the scientist "I need to make sure the infuriating white coats know there place and we remain in control…"
With that he walked to the front of the truck and made his way into the drivers seat.
"Excuse me-" The scientists voice was cut off, with an icy glare from Adrian.
"You no longer have a problem with me driving, got that?"
The man held in a retort, giving a rather pathetic glare back at Adrian before climbing into the passenger seat.
Adrian turned the key in the ignition, pressing his foot onto the accelerator, purposefully making the truck jerk forward. At once, the truck roared to life and sped past the gates of the facility, with a non-too gentle bump on the curb.


Shanae Vena

<Shanae? You okay?>
Shanae flinched slightly at Erin's touch before forcing herself to relax slightly. The whole situation had set her nerves on edge.
<Alive. But not okay, as per usual> Shanae sent softly. Okay was not something she'd been able to relate to for years.
"Someon- Someone mind telling me what the hell is going on? Now. Before I pass out would be nice."
Shayla.
<Erin, can you pass this on.>
She was about to relay a basic message, when she had a thought about how the message may be sent. Rather than sending direct words, Shanae sent a series of images and emotions. She started with sending a very brief image of Daniel on the rack, before brushing over it and continuing with Jason and Axel coming in. She skipped the memories of Adrian's "murder", preferring to tell Shayla in private. The next images and feelings were ones of escape, before Miss Flack burst in. Then she cut the images short.
<It's only a brief summary…>
"Is everyone alright?"
Shanae glanced up at Daniel through the bars of the cage.
<Please could you let him know I'm here and...fine for now>
Again a stab of annoyance at the way she was forced to rely on someone else passing the messages on. She wanted nothing more to go over and simply stay with Shayla and Daniel, but the cages barred any notion like it. She could just see half of the cage Jason was in from her vision point, that and Daniels. To her right was Erin, to whom she could assume Shayla was next to, from the sound of her voice.
Suddenly the truck gave a huge lurch forward. Throwing Shanae into the side. Her head smashed onto the metal. The truck was moving. She gave a frightened glance at Erin as she felt the cold metal floor move beneath her. There was another large jerk as the truck jumped over a curb. Whoever was driving evidently didn't care for the cargo. Shanae found herself sliding to the corner of her confinement, as the truck turned. There was a thin beam of light coming from outside, and Shanae pressed her eye to the tiny crack.
For the first time in four years, she could see outside the facility.

<We could use that> Shanae said slowly to everyone <But it would have to be carefully planned, and there would need to be a way you could follow us out...It's not just Adrian that we need to be careful of. There's also Miss Flack and Destiny.> Axel felt Shanae shiver then he heard in his head, <Axel?>he looked at her and her expression looked pained <To your previous question...I didn't learn to do this, Adrian did it. I can speak to Nick directly at anytime, and everyone else through touch...I can also give energy and see.> She paused for a second and continued with <...opportunities/choices that can be made, though at random.> Axel tried to understand what was going on while listening. She didn't think aloud with them for a minute. Then she continues sending thoughts to them <For the second question. I can't talk…> her thoughts became more quiet <Adrian, removed my tongue>. When Axel heard that he about jumped, at this point he thought of nothing better then smashing the man's head in. She looked around and then said <I can contact Nick…> She started trying and thought <Nick? I'm upstairs with Axel, Jason and Daniel> She seemed to happy to say that. She went on with <We're trying to plan...what has happened with you?> Then she quickly thought <Where's Shayla? I need to know she okay>

Axel heard Nick's voice say <Shanae? Shayla is fine and still very much alive.> Then all of a sudden he heard Jason's voice in his head <I can help. I think. I have wings.> Axel was awestruck at the fact Jason had wings and could fly. Then Shanae had said < I know how you feel… > All of a sudden the door slammed open and everyone moved there hands away. Monica walked in and said, "You're being moved. You're to come with me and give me no trouble." She raised her eyebrows at everyone. "And to make sure you don't try somethign stupid at your first breath of fresh air, you're going with me one by one." She jerked her thumb towards Shanae. "Starting with you. Come on Vena, up." Monica yanked Shanae to her feet and dragged her from the room by her arm. Everyone was slowly brought into a weird van it was so bright outside. Axel enjoyed his moment of freedom, then he got into the van then shoved into a cage. Axel felt his stomach ache for food and couldn't wait to get something to eat.

Suddenly Axel saw Adrian appear and shove Erin beside Shanae. Shanae backed away, moving as far away as she could. Adrian slammed the door shut before turning to the rest of them. He held a sack and proceeded to pull out small hunks of stale bread. He started handing everyone pieces, he finally reached Axel and Axel about ripped his arm off for the bread. He started eating the piece slowly to try and help with the hunger pain he was feeling. Adrian stopped at Shanae and said, "How exactly do you plan on eating this?" His own face, while mocking, also seemed to be a little surprised. "It doesn't particularly bother me, I was going to kill you anyway, and that seems reasonably torturous, though I might decide to lengthen the procedure" Adrian said, the confusion gone from his face. "I didn't exactly think of that, but I suppose it doesn't really matter either way." Axel looked at his bread and looked at Shanae he said, "Well if you dont mind someone like Daniel could chew it up for you until its like a liquid then slowly transfer it to your mouth. But that will have to wait till we are stopped."

Axel slowly ate pieces of his bread while listening to everyone he heard Shayla ask, "Someon- Someone mind telling me what the hell is going on? Now. Before I pass out would be nice." He saw Shanae touching Erin's hand and knew she was telling her what to say to her. Then out of no where the van started to move swiftly causing everyone to shift about. Axel held his arms against the bars and didn't move a bit. He looked at everyone and then there was a giant bumped as if they hit a curb. Even Axel moved upward with that bump he thought to himself, 'I wonder where this jerk got his license from.' He kept eating his bread and then got down to about fifteen percent of it. He decided to keep the rest to hand the Daniel after they got out of the van, so he could feed it to Shanae.
