Sammy turned his head to Olympia, who was grinning ear to ear. "Knock knock." Alina, who sat cross-legged next to Sammy, eyed Olympia in a slightly worried way. She was probably just as tired of Olympia's bad jokes as Sammy was. "W-Who's there?" "Tank." "Tank who?" Olympia suddenly burst out into laughter. In a fit of giggles, she said, "You're welcome!" Sammy sighed, covering his face with his hands as if embarrassed by the childish 15-year-old. He heard Alina giggle slightly, as if trying to hold in her laughter. Suddenly, a loud siren echoed through the lab, reaching the trio in their dark hallway. "Time for lunch! I bet Odette will like my jokes," Olympia said, hopping up from her spot and brushing off her jeans (Yes, they surprisingly let the kids wear whatever they wanted, as the lab received shipments of clothes every month). "Olympia... Odette hates you. She hates every-" "Stop being so negative, Sammy! Now c'mon, we'll be late!" *** After Lunch Period *** Olympia had ran off to somewhere, and Alina had to go to one of her training exercises, leaving Sammy alone. He sat quietly in his "bedroom," a dimly lit metal room with a dirty bed and untidy dresser. He didn't mind it, though. His "bedroom" was the only place he felt like he was at home. The rest of the lab just seemed intimidating, with it's looming statues and windowless corridors. It seemed just as unfriendly as the color painted on it's metallic walls; black. Sometimes, Sammy dreamt of leaving the lab and being free in the beautiful world. He often wondered what would've happened if he followed in Daniel's footsteps and escaped... But, that would never happen. It couldn't. He would be stuck here for the rest of his life, wether he liked it or not. Sammy checked the worn-out watch he often had on his wrist, reading the time. 1:25 P.M. It was almost time for his daily training exercise, scheduled at 1:30. Sammy jumped off of his bed, walking to the door, which opened automatically. He ran, slightly afraid that he'd be late, to the training room. That was, he was running, until he bumped into someone, crashing down on the floor. It was Alina, who was now searching the floor for something worriedly. "Sorry, Alina! I'm in a hurry to get to the training room- I'll talk to you later- bye!" Alina didn't reply, but a smile enveloped her face when she grabbed something off the floor in a hurried rush. Sammy waved goodbye to her, then kept running. When he entered a dark hallway, covered in violet lights, he realized he must've been going the wrong way. Maybe when he bumped into Alina-? He shrugged, about to walk the other way when he heard a muffled scream. He froze, looking around, eyes wide with terror. Maybe there was a new kid who was getting experimented on? That would explain the screaming. But... This wasn't where the lab did their experiments... Right? Taken over by curiosity (And slight panic of someone being in danger), Sammy willed his hands to be enveloped in fire. He carried on his walk down the hallway, terrified of what he might find. Bodies? An experiment gone wrong? He heard footsteps coming towards him, and in a hurried panic, flattened himself against the wall. Suddenly, the wall seemed to disappear, leaving him falling in a galaxy of darkness... --- Time Skip --- Sammy's eyes fluttered open. His head ached, and the floor beneath him was a cool metal. He sat up, eyeing his surroundings. What had happened? He couldn't remember... Something about a hallway? Something caught Sammy's attention in the corner of his eye. He jerked his head around, his heart thundering with anxiety. It was Daniel. ═══✧✦✧══════✧✦✧══════✧✦✧═════ Hi!
