A/N this isn't my idea for this story. It was Rani's rp which was awesome Prolouge Imagine another world exactly like ours. Grass is green, the sky is blue; exactly the same. Apart from one thing. Above everyones heads' is a number. A date to be exact. A death date. Everyone has one, yet no one knows their own. They can see other people's numbers, but even when their reflection stares back at them they cannot see their own. Of course, they could just ask other people. It is possible, however there's also a law which says that you cannot tell someone their death date. Changing that could result in changing everything... The death penalty is in place for those who can't keep their mouths shut, you could say. If you only say part of the date however, your penalty is less severe. Having your mouth sewn shut doesn't seem too inevitable though, does it? So life goes on as normal. It's an ordinary thing and something they've had since the dawn of time, so the world has never known any different. Still, it's always slightly unnerving when you see someone who's date above their head is predicted for the very next day. Jess was wandering through town, about to start her paper round, when she notices an elderly lady turn and gape at her. Jess blinks twice, slightly confused, and awkwardly raises the corners of her lips into a confused smile. Instead of returning it however, a scream left the old lady's mouth and she ran away. She was surprisingly agile for an old lady. Jess stands still for a moment, wondering what she had done. She peers into a shop window and looks at her reflection self-consciously, but the toothpaste smudge below her mouth surely couldn't have caused that reaction? Shrugging, she wipes it away and continue to walk towards the newsagents. The odd thing is she passes 3 more people, which all have the similar reaction as the old lady she first saw. Just as Jess is about to finally reach the Newsagents , two rough hands grab her from behind and tackle her to the ground. She is about to protest when a fist comes into contact with her head. She wakes up later, tied to a chair in a room with a number of other people. They're all beginning to wake up, and groggily look around. That's when it hits Jess. Their death dates all confirm that they should have died yesterday. Jess has a horrible sensation that she should be dead. But she isn't. She then begins to realise the situation. She is seemingly trapped in a room with other teenagers around her age, who're all tied up too. Jess thinks back to being knocked out and tackled, and the other citizens response when they saw her. A few of the jigsaw pieces slide into place in her head. The room itself is plain. All of the colours drained from it as is they didn't exist. The light supply comes from the lights above the teenagers head's as there are no windows.
the last part of this chapter is where I go with my own imagination ~ words had to be changed so sorry if part of it doesn't make sense Chapter one Miss Jackson unlocked the room door, stepping inside before quickly drawing the door shut behind her. She examined the room through beady snake like eyes, smirking at the bewildered expressions before speaking up in a surprisingly smooth and fluent voice. "Hello experiments, I'm guessing you're wondering what's going on?" Jess looks at the woman who just entered, wincing slightly as she pulled her arm, but the thick rope just left marks on her skin. She then frowned, confused. The others have the same reaction as Jess but in a different way. Dae shifts slightly, then a pain shoots up her leg. She looks at the other teenagers, not recognising any faces and starts getting stressed slightly as she is getting claustrophobic. When the woman speaks up, she just observes her every movement looking for threatening behaviour. Beltane looks at the woman with a brave face, refusing to acknowledge the fear that has settled in the pit of her stomach. Her blue eyes dart around the room at unfamiliar faces, all meant to be dead. A more angry teenager wakes up. "My arm! Hurts like... What the? Where am I? Who are you? Who are they?" James says as he shifts slightly, stretching his arm as much as he can. Alex looks around the room, her head moving slowly but her blue eyes dart for an exit. When she doesn't see one, she focuses on the woman. Like all the others she is tired and confused. James, or aka Ryder starts talking again while struggling against the ropes. "Wait.. Is this because I killed that bear? If it is... I'll have you know... That I... Know... You know what? I know what these are made of! Titanium fused with diamond with a uranium bond?" Dae glares at Ryder. "I'm just saying, but it'll be carbon not diamond. As a diamond is made from carbon." Alex looks at the boy who is yelling. He looks about her age, and his number is the same as all the other teenagers and herself, as she feared. Ryder completely ignoring the girl's comment continues "wait a minute... Is this a hostage situation?!?" Miss Jackson sighs, tapping her shoe against the floor impatiently. "Silence. It doesn't matter if one of you dies," she says, pausing and raising the gun slightly for effect. "You are all quite clearly meant to be dead, but you're not. The government warned us about this and now we're prepared. Experiments were placed upon you at birth; upon every child in the previous Decembers but they seem to have only worked on you. You will now be going through a series of challenges to see what effect the birth experiments have had other than an extended life span. But don't expect it to be easy, after all, you should be dead." Ryder soon counters with his opinion "You'll be dead if I ever get a hold of ya! You and your experiments, how did this government ever come to power?" From another chair a boy called Logan frowns and looks at the woman. "What are you talking about. Are you threatening us right now?" He snarks but winces in pain. Ryder still continues despite being ignored. "What's your problem lady? If you want to kill one of us... Then kill me! Kill me damn it!" Beltane turns to the Ryder and gives a warning hiss. "Can you please shut up? I'm trying to listen to what the hell is going on here, your yelling is distracting." Alex looks back to the woman with the gun, "Government experiments?" She gasps and Dae has a similar reaction. After she takes in the conversation quietly, and speaks up so she can only just be heard "So what you are saying is we've been government property all our lives..." A girl called Alixan has decided she wanted to join Ryder in his quest of yelling. "Woman just shut up or I'll kick you!" Miss Jackson ignores the questions, glancing at her watch. "You will be equipped with food and such soon. In the mean time, you'll be staying in this building." She hands out a map to each teenager. It's a relatively average building with rooms and such, and a laboratory side which is banned to the experiments. "You will be going through the first test later this afternoon. I wouldn't bother resisting, unless you want to end up in the prison cell." Jess looks at the woman, shaking slightly with fear and frustration. "But we're tied up..." She says frowning lightly. She looked at the map resting on her knee, blinking disbelievingly. Dae watches the woman place the map on her lap, looks into her eyes, and mentally reminds herself that she shouldn't make her angry. She looks down at her map and remembers every detail. "Why were experiments put on us?" She asked the woman curiously, slowly lifting her head up from the map to look at her. Ryder starts complaining, yet again, "test? I didn't agree to this! I demand you release us immediately!" Beltane tries to lash out and kick the woman as she places the map on her lap. Most of the people look at the map silently; Light who looks relatively calm compared to Ryder, Alex stares down at the map, wondering what the rooms in it look like. She shakes her head and watches Miss Jackson, trying to take in every detail. Ali, Harley, Raven, Rose, Sparrow and Xanius stays still, not acknowledging anything happening. Logan scans the map quickly and then looks at the woman again "what test? Can you at least untie us and let us know?" He looks around the room at the rest of people "untie us, and we won't charge at you. You have my word" he nods at everyone questioningly to make sure they do as he says. "Isn't that right guys?" Dae shifts uncomfortably in her seat "I know I wouldn't move but I can guarantee others will" I glare at the people swearing at the woman "at least try to act your age and be responsible. We've all got powers that we can't describe, so use it for good not for beating the hell out of someone just because they tied you to a chair..." "Let me get this straight," Light looks at Logan, "you say we won't charge at her as if you were our leader. As far as we know we can do anything we want and you aren't our spokesperson so shut your trap and don't say those stupid words again." Dae sighs slightly "We're all in this situation, we're all scared. So stop taking your fear out on someone who you don't know. Respect others, it will help you a lot." Alex considers her options. "No disrespect but I don't like being told what to do, you shouldn't boss around strangers." she looks back to the woman "but no, I won't charge her." "Can we all just hush?" Beltane half yells, wincing from the new pain in her leg. She mutters bitterly "I half wish I was still out cold..." "So can you untie us so that we can prepare for this test or whatever." Light says yawning bored, "I just want to sleep before the test begins." Logan glares at Light "listen to me, we aren't getting out of here any time soon. You heard her! They are playing games with us. I'm just trying to at least make this as comfortable as possible. I'm no leader, but would you rather stay here, all tied up, or at least be able to do something, anything, other than wait!?" He then leans back against the wall and looks back at the woman. "So what's it going to be?" Light yawns "I actually would like to stay tied up so that I can sleep, it's better than being around you, at least I'm far away by the infectious." Closing his eyes he continues, "I'm not gonna attack her if I get untied, I would just head over to one of the rooms and sleep." Beltane starts laughing cruelly, glancing at Logan "you need to stop acting like a leader." Raven coughs slightly clearing her throat. "Arguing with each other won't help. But what you guys are saying is true." She tries to point at Alex, Dae, Logan, and Light. The whole group nod slightly, Ryder still fidgeting in his chair. During the commotion Miss Jackson slipped out the room, shutting the door quietly behind her. She slid down to the floor, facing the door that held all the experiments. Leaning her chin on her knees she felt slightly sorry for them as they didn't know what was coming. The thirteen innocent teenagers. She took out and looked at the paper list that was in her pocket. The Experiment Number. Name (gender) (birthday) (age) 1. Alixan Baczhendrov (F) (18/12) (17) 2. Alexious Joul (F) (14/12) (18) 3. Beltane Yughansadh (F) (18/12) (17) 4. Dae Hunter (F) (25/12) (16) 5. Harley Gray (F) (11/12) (17 6. Jess Dwyers (F) (15/12) (16) 7. John Rideout (M) (17/12) (18) 8. Logan Lowell (M) (18/12) (18) 9. Light Müller (M) (17/12) (18) 10. Raven Clark (F) (20/12) (17) 11. Rose Wynter (F) (17/12) (17) 12. Sparrow Adams (F) (15/12) (17) 13. Xanius Rigidarvff (M) (8/12) (14) Poor little mites she thought with an evil grin on her face. She stood up and disappeared down the corridor. The seats were in an almost circle, with the odd numbers near the door, and the even ones opposite. Xanius looked at his chair and found the number 13 engraved on the legs. He looked at Rose's chair next to him, her's had 11 engraved into the legs. He looked down at his lap. His name started with X, the others obviously had names that started with letters before his. "Um guys?" He says quietly and they all turn to face him. He blushes slightly but continues anyway "look at your chair legs." They all simultaneously duck their heads to look at their chairs which makes Xanius laugh slightly. Rose glances at Xanius's chair after looking at hers and sees 13, compared to her 11. "We all have numbers..." She mutters. "What's the point in those numbers?" Harley asks, causing others to shrug. Dae and Jess look at each other "odd numbers by the door, even over here." Dae says slowly. "They have us in alphabetical order." Jess blurts out. "How do you know?" Ryder replies angrily, "are you in on this too?" Jess sits there stunned. How could she be in on this catastrophe? "Well, number one, what does your names start with?" Sparrow says looking at Alixan. She hesitates slightly before replying "A.B." The others follow suit and find that Jess was right.
Oh my glob I clicked on this and ah my name I'm famous guise xD Anyways, ack yeah, thanks cx It looks cool, but I'll read it properly in the morning.
If you are doing the story based on the characters personality in the Rp then just letting you know Raven is a cold, mysterious person, she never smiles, perhaps a half-smile or smirk like she knows something you don't from time to time. Sparrow is the exact opposite, always smiling, very out-going! But if you aren't then carry on!
I am, and have copied the profiles that were made ~ I made up last names for Raven and Sparrow as I needed them ~ thank you very muchly and I will try to remember to wall you ~
Omg so sorry guys, everything has just been piling up recently, here's chapter two Chapter two Simone Conti ruffled his ginger hair, took a deep breath and straightened his lab coat before he opened the door. He looked at the faces that looked at him, they all seemed too innocent as he stepped into the middle of the room. "Experiments 7, 8, 9 and 13. You will all be in that room there, furthest from the lab. We know what you boys can be like. Experiments 1, 3, 5 and 11. You will be in the room two doors down, nearer the lab. Experiments 2, 4, 6, 10 and 12. You will be in the room next to that, but not the one imbetween the first two rooms. The doors have labels on, I'm sure you can all read." Simone finished his reel and watched the group figure out who they were with. A couple of the experiments watched Simone and glanced at his number, he had two years yet… On this very day. Dae and Rose looked at each other from across the room, they had both looked at his number. "Excuse me sir." Alex speaks up, her voice small, matching her frame, but unusually deep for a girl. Simone turns around to experiment 2 "what do you want?" He asks kindly. Alexious quickly looked around at the group before answering "for us all to be untied please." Simone nodded and clapped his hands twice quickly. The door opens and, on a first glance, three military men come through into the room. They stand in a straight line in front of Simone who has turned around to greet them. "You know your group, untie them in the order you got told." Simone says with authority. The men scatter, one going to Xanius, one to Alexious and the last one went to Alixan. On closer examination, the two men who went to the girls were actually women. This wasn't spotted as their caps were pulled down low and the uniform covered the vital signs. "How come he's getting untied first? The others are being done in numerical order!" Ryder kicks off causing Light to mutter. "This is why you eejit." Simone cleared his throat in the middle. "7." When Ryder wouldn't look at him he spoke up again more sternly "John!" Ryder's head snapped up to look at Simone. A few chuckles could be heard around the room from seats 3, 8, 9 and 10 "what kind of name is John?" Light asked. Simone turned to face Light who was getting untied at that moment. "What kind of name is Light?" He asked with a smirk on his face, this caused more laughter in the room and Light just mumbled but stayed seated. "John the reason why they are going in reverse for your group is because of your actions earlier." Dae says her head on her arms propped up on her knees. Simone glances at Dae "yes it is number four. Good analysis. It was to give me more time to explain you were all analysised earlier to see what order would be safe to untie you all." The man finished taking the ropes off of Ryder and to everyone's surprise he didn't move. Naturally everyone stayed sat on their individual chairs as they all still felt a little dizzy. "I bet you are all wondering about being dizzy." A few of the group nodded slightly but Simone just clapped his hands together. "That's another story. Right! So 7, 8, 9 and 13, follow your person to your room." Light and Logan were the first to stand up out of the four, Logan glanced at Xanius, he was coping alright. But Ryder was a bit worse, "it's always been athletes have never been able to handle that stuff..." Simone mutters. Logan was the tallest in the room at six foot two inches, that was including Simone and the guards. He ducked slightly, even though he didn't need to, walked through the open door and followed the man with the other three on his tail. Beltane scoffed once they were out the room "John and Light? Seriously that's they're names?" She asks Simone. Raven looks at Beltane "well they didn't choose them did they?" Beltane glared at Raven but luckily they weren't sharing a room. "I mean we all have slightly abnormal names don't we?" Harley spoke up. Jess shook her head "I don't." Rose piped up "I don't either." Simone sighs from his position in the middle of the group. "Experiments. Silence please. 1, 3, 5 and 11 follow your leader to your room." The woman who untied them walked out the room and they scurried after her, not wanting to get lost. The five remaining girls, Alexious, Dae, Jess, Raven and Sparrow, sit in silence. Dae shifts her chin slightly on her hand, while Sparrow grins. "I've never shared a room with other girls before, this should be fun!" Sparrow comments to brighten the mood. Raven rolls her eyes and groans while the other three look at Sparrow in shock, even the female guard raises her eyebrow slightly. "You have never had a sleep over?" Jess asked shocked. Sparrow shook her head, making her dark auburn hair shake. "My mum didn't agree with them, she said I would loose too much sleep." Alexious chuckles shaking her head slightly. Simone checked his watch and then looked at the five girls in front of him. Number 2 and 6 had small frames compared to the other three. However 4, 10 and 12 were slim like 6, whereas 2 had a slightly bigger build. The hair colour didn't vary dramitically but the personality did in certain aspects. To what Simone had seen, the genes didn't majorily change within the body, but it might be the brain itself. Mathieu Lambert scribbled notes down on paper secured on a clipboard. He had been stood watching the experiments every move and 4 had seemed to be the smartest based on what had happened so far. But a couple of the girls have similar results at school and half of the boys weren't far behind, but was always the way. He started twiddling his pen,between two fingers, while watching the five girls. After two minutes had passed Simone cleared his throat. Mathieu's thoughts wandered to his colleague. He didn't mind working with Simone, but at times, he just couldn't put up with him. The lab tried to get people from different cultures and the most experinced in their field. There was Noémie Jackson from Canada, Simone Conti who was part Italian and himself, Mathieu Lambert, who was French. So the culture was diverse but it worked, with a little friction to keep it alive. The girls heads snapped up when Simone cleared his throat. "2, 4, 6, 10 and 12, please stand and follow Miss Barnes." The girls all politely stood, but Raven kept glaring at Sparrow and Simone. After all the girls filed out the room following Miss Barnes, Simone glanced to where Mathieu was watching from before walking out. Miss Barnes took them out of the room and turned left. The corridor went to the right "hey guys I'm Kat. I don't like you calling me Miss Barnes, I would rather have you more relaxed." The group nod slightly, all remembering her name. Although Raven wasn't too happy and predominately shut off the conversation. Kat swiped a tag causing the door to open. "You will always have a guard with you when travelling around the building." Kat continues once everyone is through the door. She turns right and walks down the corridor. The door to an unmarked room was directly insight, but there was a right turn before hitting another door. "Behind this door is where all of you guys will be staying. You five will be sharing, the biggest, first room on your left. The rooms have two toilets and two showers in and they are all separated so you don't have a queue. Anymore questions?" Kat explains while swiping the tag to open the door. Sparrow speaks up, "will it always be you with us?" "No. There are other guards that have been assigned to you but I am the head guard of all the girls." Kat pushed open the group's room door and the girls filed in. On the left as they entered were the two toilets and showers, whereas on the right was a wardrobe. Resting against the rest of the walls were five beds. "In the wardrobe is clothes for your tests. You have long sleeved T-shirts, short sleeved T-shirts, vest tops and jackets. You also have shorts, three-quarter lengths, track suit bottoms and trousers. They all have you own number on which was on your chair earlier." Kat explains. The clothes themselves are in the girl's favourite colours. "We done our research into what you girls like to wear and have a range of your favourite colours. You also have, on that rack there, canvas shoes for the non-active tests and trainers for the active ones. You also have a swimming costume, goggles and a towel. As well as brand new socks, hair and tooth brushes. Obviously not on the same brush." The girls chuckled apart from Raven who shook her head. Jess suddenly turns quiet, "when will we be allowed to leave?" She asks quietly and the girls stop in realisation... Kat feels a buzz on her belt, her cue to explain the afternoon's test. "That will be explained another time. But for your first test, you will not be doing any major physical activity. This means you can choose anything to wear, but wear your canvas shoes." Kat exited the room then left the area the experiments were being held in. Xanius choose a bed in the corner away from the others and sat there awkwardly. Ryder was still angry so he was pacing, while Light was curled up on his bed having a nap, just like he said. Logan was in the shower and took in his towel which was dark green like his eyes, a white short sleeved T-shirt, beige shorts that came to his knees and a pair of white socks. After ten minutes of pacing by Ryder, Logan came out of the shower, but didn't put his T-shirt on because of his wet hair. Logan walked over to the bed beside Xanius, he placed his old clothes in a pile on the bed and his new T-shirt there as well. After placing his towel on the radiator, Logan sat beside his old clothes. He glances over at Xanius's thin, hunched over frame. Xanius could feel Logan's eyes on him so he looked around, his blue eyes meeting the dark green of Logan's. Sorrow was etched deep in Xanius's eyes, his family had disowned him for the past week and now he knew why. He had been chucked out on to the streets, making his ribs protrude more than is healthy as he had barely anything to eat.
Did you see my message on your wall? And haha true I did say they were opposites but I usually put them as friends but I like what you did! Opposites can still be friends though eh?
I'm going to start adding jealousy and other emotions in to make the story more realistic as if you have that many teenagers in a space like that, anything could break loose. A few more charcters have a bit more depth to their profile and started developing thoughts/theories about the lab. Enjoy reading! Chapter three Logan couldn't help feeling concerned. Xanius was too thin for however old he was. He was definitely the youngest of the group, as his legs looked like twigs and hadn't quite started developing strong muscles. Well if they did, the week without food certainly erased all progress. "Are you okay?" Logan asks Xanius quietly. Ryder is still pacing but Light has propped himself up on his elbow watching it wasn't only me who noticed he thought. Light had pretty much the same appearance as Xanius: piercing blue eyes, sweeping hair, but Light has black hair and a slight muscular build. You would think they were related, but they weren't. "Yeah I'm fine… It's just I finally know why my parents chucked me out a week ago." Xanius mumbled quietly, but due to no noise the rest of the room heard what he said. Logan wanted to reassure him but he knew he wasn't good at that. He stood up and walked out the boys room and tried to remember what girls were sympathetic earlier. The girls on my left seemed nice, and they were even numbers so they're in this room… Logan thought to himself and knocked on the door. Alexious, Dae and Jess looked at the door. The other two didn't complain as they were having showers. Dae opens the door, her long brown hair with red streaks slightly frizzy still from her shower. She immediately blushed when she saw Logan and that's when he remembered about his top. His cheeks turned slightly red but he spoke up anyway "X is feeling a bit low, could any of you girls help?" "What do you mean by…" Jess trails off when she spots Logan. Alexious rolls her eyes "he's topless, so what?" Dae and Jess glare at Alexious but the looks get ignored. "So X is upset?" Dae asks. Logan smiles slightly "finally you guys have caught on... We're just not brilliant at being sympathetic." Jess chuckles and grabs Dae's hand. "We'll come. Tell the others we're just outside the room." Dae can't get an argument in before Jess pulls her out. Xanius had already come out into the area outside of the rooms, causing Jess to let go off Dae's hand. Logan pushed open the common room door "X come in here, I got a couple of people for you to talk to." Jess was the first to enter the room in a red short sleeved T-shirt and black trousers with a pair of black socks covering her feet, all of them had 6 printed on them somewhere, quite small, in white. Logan went in after that, but Xanius didn't move from his spot. Dae went over calmly in a light blue long sleeved T-shirt with four printed at the bottom of the sleeves in white, black leggings that she had found in her pile and blue socks covering her feet. She crouched in front of Xanius making her hair fall in her face, which made him laugh slightly as she brushed it back with a hand. Smiling Dae offered her hand to help him up. His bony hand wrapped around hers and she pulled him up as she stood up herself. He let go of her hand "thank you." He just manages to verbalize. Dae smiles again "you're welcome." She replies quietly. Logan stood in the door frame watching Dae's movement and how she handled it, but also how she held herself. She never let the fact her date was above her head for the world to see stop her from being the best person she could. He could already see there was something different about how she touched everyone's lives, always giving, never wanting things in return apart from a smile, a joke or a laugh. Logan moved from the door way to let the pair in, Xanius went straight over to the corner sofa and sat in the corner. He drew his body close to him, still not used to the new warmth that surrounded him. Jess was sat on the stuck out part of that sofa already so Dae sat the on the backed part of the sofa, but left enough room for Logan. He didn't take the seat, Logan just leant against the wall. Dae had already seen the horrible effects of people being out on the street, her family often helped them, taking spare or left over food out to the ones near their house. Dae always got the brightest smile out of them and this was why. Her date. They all soon flocked to the surrounding area of Dae's family and her neighbours got involved. Helping them with food and blankets in the winter and then food and shade in the summer. It put an even brighter smile on the homeless people faces as well as Dae's. She had never seen Xanius on her rounds, so he mustn't of been in her area. "Why were you on the streets?" Dae asked quietly and calmly, like she always did with the homeless in her area. She got to know most of them and they weren't bad people, life just didn't go their way. She had to say goodbye to a few as well. Young or old, she held a small rememberance service for them which most of the homeless attended. Strangely, their numbers never changed, if one died there was always a new one to equal the numbers. Xanius looked doubtful as he glanced at the three people in the room. He let his frame open up slightly, "my family kicked me out a week ago. I supposed it was to help them let me go. This morning I was on my way to your part of town as someone had recommended it to me yesterday." Xanius said looking at Dae. Jess and Logan look at Dae as well "what's so special about your part of town?" Jess asks. Dae shifts slightly on the sofa, bringing her legs up in front of her. "You don't recognise me?" She asks quietly. Logan and Jess look at Xanius, he was homeless and on his way to her sector of town. It clicked in Logan's head. "Oh you're the person the Dae foundation is set on aren't you." Dae smiles before nodding. "Indeed I am. It was in the paper a couple of weeks ago. They took a picture of me sat like this at home and then one with me on the street with all the homeless people." Jess smiles remembering the article. She had walked through that part of town when they were taking the pictures and Dae had seemed familiar. "I passed you guys when they were taking the outdoor picture." "I suppose my parents set it up as my legacy so I could still be helping people after I'm gone. But if they could see me now... I woke up early this morning and was about to start my rounds. That's all I can remember until waking up tied to the chair...." Dae mumbles. The other three nod. "I was on my way to the newsagent to get my papers for my round. I woke up early too." Jess comments, causing Dae to look at Logan and Xanius. "You both woke up early didn't you." She says to the pair and they both nod. Because at one point in the world at that time, it was still the day before... "I went out for an earlier jog, before any of my family were awake." Logan says quietly, realising a pattern. The four look at each other quietly to see if they should tell the others. Logan shook his head as if to say keep it quiet for now, until we know more and the rest agreed. Mathieu looked at Noémie and Simone, they both looked back at him. "That is too much of a coincidence…" Simone mutters scribbling it down on his clipboard. "Look into it more. Speak to the guards who brought them in." Mathieu ordered and turned to the room's computer screens. Ryder still paced the room but had changed into three quarter lengths and a vest top. Light was out of sight obviously in the shower or toilet. Alixan, Beltane, Harley and Rose were sat on individual beds in clothes ready for the test. Beltane sat in her own world doodling on herself while Harley and Rose sat chatting with Alixan joining in from time to time, when she looked up from her book. Alexious had changed her clothes and was talking to an animated Sparrow. Raven picked up a habit of glaring at Sparrow, presumably because of the noise. However things were more interesting in the common room... Xanius started looking around the room, "there must be surveillance in the rooms." The other three turned to look at him. "What?" Jess asks. Xanius nods to himself looking just before the corners of the room, his vision trained on the hidden cameras, "yeah, there's hidden cameras in here." He mutters. Jess glances at Logan, biting her lip slightly "what should we do?" Dae stands up unnoticed from her seat in the sofa and stands by the window. She looks out to see houses and then fields. Logan shrugs "having them in the rooms would be unethical..." "Yeah but so were the experiments placed on us when we were babies, but that didn't stop them. So why would it stop them now?" Dae says turning around to face the group leaning against the window sill. The other three look at her in almost surprise because of her bluntness. "It's true. They would only record interesting conversations or developments like this conversation." Logan and Xanius nod in agreement, while Jess stands up in protest. "But that can't do that! It's against the law!" "So is putting experiments on babies!" Dae responds with the same amount of fire in her voice. Jess storms into the main area, slamming the common room door behind her. Immediately Raven and Ryder come out of their relative rooms. "What on Earth is going on here?" Ryder yells before anyone can say a word. Jess leans her head against the wall opposite the common room. Unknowingly she is facing both Mathieu and Noémie. "It's doesn't matter." Jess waves them off before turning round. "Doesn't matter?" Raven scoffs before continuing, "then why did you slam that bloody door like that when it's nothing?!?" "It's none of your business." Jess replies calmly as Xanius walks out the common room into the boy's room. Dae and Logan look at each other from where they stand across the room. "Why are you such an ass all of a sudden?" Logan asks shaking his head and then walks into his own room. Dae was just left there standing on her own by the window, "someone had to say it. No one else was going to." She mutters to herself. Noémie looks at Dae through the common room doorway from her spot in the observation room. "Do you think it's wise to keep 4 and 6 in the same test room after that?" Noémie comments, still watching Dae.
