1986

Samantha looked over at Natalia, whose back was turned towards her. She then turned towards the window and slowly sat up and climbed out of her bed, going over to the window.

"What are you doing?"

The demigirl froze, looking over at their roommate, who was now facing them.

"Are you trying to escape or something?"

After a few seconds, Samantha slowly nodded. "Well, then I'm coming with you." Natalia declared, climbing out of her bed and over to Samantha. "The window's locked, what's your plan?" The blonde asked and the brunette responded by smashing the window and kicking out the frame.

They were luckily on the bottom floor, all the rooms were, and Samantha held out a hand to help the blonde, as it was still a tad bit of a jump, but she refused the hand, landing on the ground, nearly falling over.

They both made sure to be deathly silent as they walked over to the fence where they saw two people. One had a curly white afro, the other, mousy brown hair.

Nikita and Althea.

They both turned their heads after hearing the other girls' footsteps but seemed to relax when they saw who it was. "Hi," Natalia waved at them and the two girls waved back. "Why haven't you left?" Samantha asked Althea. "I can't teleport outside of the fence. I grabbed Nikita and told her I wanted to escape and she agreed to come with me. So, I grabbed her hand, we teleportation, and stopped at the fence." Althea stamped her foot on the ground, clearly annoyed, as anyone would be. "We can't leave."

"We could climb over the fence." Nikita said and the girls turned to him. "I'm the tallest, so I'll give you guys a boost and then climb over myself. It shouldn't be too hard to climb it." He looked over at the girls. "So, who wants to go first?"

Natalia stepped forward. She hated being touched and she just wanted to get this over with.

"You're Natalia, right?"

"Yeah."

Just as Nikita was about to help Natalia get over the fence, several voices began shouting, startling them all, causing Nikita to drop Natalia. Althea's first instinct? Run. That was always her first instinct.

She grabbed for Nikita's wrist and began running, Natalia and Samantha quickly following behind. Where were they running to? Fuck if they knew.

A few gunshots rang out and they all ran faster. A bullet hit the dirt right next to Natalia, causing her to fall over. Soon enough, various men were standing over her, grabbing at her, referring to her as Subject Zero-Eleven.

One spoke into a walkie talkie. "Subjects Zero-Fifteen, Zero-Seventeen and Zero-Eighteen are still on the run. They should be within the fence." A few of the men ran off. Eventually, she was thrown into a cell of sorts. A solitary confinement-like place. She was there for awhile, at least a few days. 

She wasn't sure.

Eventually, she was let out and sent back to her room. Samantha was there. Samantha had also failed. She assumed that meant the same for Nikita and Althea.
