Seto

I roamed through the streets late at night. I had to catch my breath. I was stressed out, and my magic was getting harder to control as I grew older. Though I was only 17. Every once in a while my hands would spark purple lights, like a miniature firework show for ants on my hands.

I pulled my hood farther down, to conceal my face. I rubbed my hands nervously as I walked under street lamps, staring at the ground.

All the sudden I heard a car coming down the road. I looked up to see a gray van coming my way.

What the..?

It came closer and closer to me. Until it eventually stopped where I was. I stopped as well and stared at it, wondering why it was here.

Two men and a woman came out, the men wearing gear and the woman wearing a lab coat.

They came directly towards me. I panicked and started to walk away. I heard footsteps approach behind me, until a hand was on my shoulder, stopping me from moving.

"Excuse me, but, your gonna have to come with us." One of the men said in a low voice.

"I don't think that will happen..." I said through clenched teeth.

"What?"

I balled my hands into a fist, my magic going crazy now. I turned around and looked into the mans eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

"I think you are. Dr. Kimberly?"

"Coming! She said, holding a syringe in her hands.

My eyes wide as she comes towards me. I teleport behind the guard and hit him with purple magic. He was shocked and he turned around revealing his annoyed face. As I fought the first guard, I didn't realize that the second guard was behind me. As I pulled my hand back to cast another spell, I felt something go around my wrist.

My magic stopped immediately and I stopped fighting for a second confused at what was happening. Then I felt the same thing go around my other wrist and soon enough I couldn't do any magic all together.

"Nice try, pretty boy." I heard a female voice say just before a needle got stabbed into my arm. I flinched and gasped. I turned around to see them all smirking.

I felt dizzy. I couldn't stand.

What did they do to me...

Then everything went dark as my vision clouded over and I collapsed onto the ground.

A Few Hours Later

I woke up hours later to find myself in a small cell, laying on a semi-comfortable mattress that was in the corner of the room.

I bolted straight up, and I started to hyperventilate. I looked around when my eyes landed on a small girl in the cell opposite of me, asleep.

My breathing slowed as I realized that I wasn't the only one here at least.

As I examined the girl I noticed something off about her. Every once in a while she would disappear and reappear within seconds, and sometimes would show what looked like circuits from a computer running down her shoulder, neck and legs.

What the...? What exactly is she?

Just then she yawned and her eyes cracked open. She stood up and looked at me. Her eyes were as wide as saucers.

"O-o-oh no-o...th-th-this-s is n-not g-g-good-d..." She said, looking at me. She then looked at the floor and started to breathe heavily, eventually hyperventilating.

"Woah woah woah. Calm down. Calm down. And...what's wrong with your voice?" I asked her calmly.

"Th-the sci-scientists did-d this-s-s t-to me-e-e." Her voice sounded slightly robotic.

"What's your name?"

"M-my n-n-name I-s G-g-glitch-tch-tch."

"Glitch?" I asked to make sure and she nodded. "So they did this to you? Why?"

She nodded again. "I l-let-t-t th-the l-last-t te-st s-s-subj-jects Es-escap-pe. Wel-l-l...th-this-s w-was my-my pun-punish-ment." She explained.

She was a little bit hard to understand because of the glitched voice, but I got what she was saying.

All the sudden a guard came down the hallway. The guard stopped at my door and started to unlock it. He opened it and grabbed my arm, signaling me to stand up and follow as he dragged me out.

"Hey! Let me go!" I shouted as they pushed me towards a door.

"C-calm-m down-down. It-it'll o-on-ly m-make I-t-t wor-se-se!" Glitch shouted. I calmed down and stopped struggling.

"Good choice kid." He chuckled. I looked up and gave him a death glare. He shut up after that.

"That's what I thought..." I muttered under my breath.

He pushed me through the doors and I was now it a room filled with scientific vials, serums, research and papers.

I was led to a table where I was strapped down, so I couldn't use my arms or legs at all.

I waited a couple minutes, just staring at the ceiling before a nurse came over holding a syringe in hand filled with some black liquid.

I gasped as she injected my arm.

Darkness. Pain. A hint of evil?

I couldn't really describe how I was feeling. I felt alright but at the same time had the desire to...to hurt people?

What have they done to me...
