I went through my Wattpad drafts and found this.

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of battle and war

This story didn't go very far, but it inspired my 1st magnum opus. (I'll go over that one next.)

Prolonge

I think is hilarious that I thought a Prologue was actually a Prolonge for the longest time. That's how you determine if my writing is old or not. Whether there's a Prolonge or a Prologue lol.

As the purple haired scientist glanced over her work, a peculiar thing caught her attention. It was Experiment #159, or Calum, as she'd named him earlier. Calum, along with some of the others, were in the Recreation Area training with their abilities.

Calum is not a thing. :(

Normally, abilities such as teleportation or the summon of elements (fire, ice, electricity, etc.) were a result of of magic or the race you were born into. Sasha Cavel found a way to manipulate and copy those abilities. Thus, the result of her many, many experiments.

Etc. My favorite element.

Also if I had a nickel for the amount of times Sasha was the bad guy in these "experiment escapes laboratory" stories, I'd have 2 nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that I did it twice.

Calum was always different. Many of the others tried to escape a few times or at least fight Sasha's team of scientists. Calm never did. Instead he greeted everyone by name or number and a smile on his face.

Oh. Uh... Okay?

He was the one who would stop this Civil War in the werewolf kingdom. Sasha knew it. He would put an end to Sasha's twin sister's madness.

The lore is weird already and nothing has happened yet.

As Sasha walked in the Recreation Area she was greeted by a cheerful redhead. "Good mourning, Miss Sasha!" Calm greeted, as he turned away from Experiment #224, or well Reese, as the others called her. "Did you know Reese can breath under water?! It's so cool!" He admired as Reese just stood there, unaffected by Calum's admiration.

Oh no. It's my worse enemy. Unspaced dialogue.

"That is really cool." Sasha responds, as Reese walks away, looking for someone else to train with, now that she's distracted Calum. "What about you, Calum? Any new powers?" The scientist ask, wanting to update her data.

"No, not yet. Just the increased vision." He answers. "I'll let you know if anything else pops up!" He exclaims.

Before the two could continue their conversation a loud siren went off. This was a common experience so no one panicked. Sasha, ran out of the glass dome and to the left exit.

At the mental door Sasha found Experiment #547, better known as Owen. Once again he was trying to escape.

If they keep trying to escape out the giant metal door at the end of the hallway, why not block it up?

Before she stood, a five foot tall brunette, who caused a lot of trouble. He had his arms crossed behind his head and stood up straight, trying to seem tough.

If I'm remembering correctly, this one is my favorite.

"Oh, Miss Sasha." Owen addressed his creator with malice in hi s voice. "How nice of you to watch my victory."

"Again, Owen? You just got of your punishment cell this morning." She sighed as she shot him with a dart gun, drugging the short boy.

That was anticlimactic.

His confident and manipulative expressed faded as the drug went through his system causing him to lose conscious. As he fell, Sasha caught him before he hit the ground. When her team of specialists got to the location she handed the unconscious brunette over to them.

Sasha returned to the Recreation Area to find Reese fighting with Kris, Experiment #436. They were engaged in some intease hand to hand combat. Many of the other experiments were watching the two closely.

Kris? What is this? Detlarune?

Then Reese threw a upper cut, at Kris's face. That was the game changer. He couldn't dodge in time and was knocked unconscious. A lot of cheers erupted in the crowd of experiments.

Let's go, Reese! She's our battle queen.

"Excuse me, pardon me!" Experiment #394, Miranda, politely made her way through the crowd to get to Kris. Miranda could heal so she offend took care of injuries after fights. Which was very helpful and freed up space in the infirmary.

We love Miranda as well.

After Kris regained his conscious, and Miranda healed Reese, another siren went off. This one was unfamiliar to the experiments. They began to panic and crown together like sardines.

Why would they crowd together though? Why wouldn't they run away and try to get to safety?

Sasha pulled out a walking talkie, and listen to her security. "We have a problem. All the cameras went out at once and the left outside gate report sight of soldiers. Her soldiers." The purple haired scientist instantly knew the situation and raised her hand, getting the attention of all the experiments in the Recreation Area.

Spoilers. The her is referring to Sasha's evil twon sister that she doesn't like very much.

"Everyone, please find a your way to Miss Jennifier's office in the Library. Don't panic, just get there as fast as you can and don't run over anyone on your way." As Sasha finished, speaking, the experiments did so leaving her in the Recreation Area along.

Jennifer is Sasha's little sister, by the way.

The walking talkie, beeped again. "Miss, we identified the soldiers and they are in fact, Nora's soldiers. Their headed for the Recreation Area. Do we need to lock it down?" The security guard, asked over the walkie talkie.

"No, we're clear there," Sasha lied, knowing she was still there, but not caring. She knew she had to stall the soldiers as long as possible. Even if it meant risking her life.

Wait, she dies?!

"They should be there in-" The singalong was interrupted by rapid fire gunshots. Sasha noticed her lab coat go from white to red in seconds.

Chapter 1- Calum

"You'll be in pod 1A, Calum." Jennifier told me as she pointed out my pod. I went over to the pod excited, as to who my group would be.

1A is the protagonist pod.

Jennifier explained that we'd all be put in groups of five, and sent to live with a close friend of Miss Sasha's. When I stepped into pod 1A, three familiar faces looked up at me.

A "close" friend.

"Wow, Reese, Miranda and Kris! All of you are so cool, I can't believe your in my pod!" I excited, as I sat beside Miranda.

"Thanks. I'm glad your with us too, Calum." Miranda responded, awkwardly smiling.

Reese, continued to look annoyed and Kris turned to me.

"What's going on, Calum?" Kris asked, as if he was 110% certain that I knew the answer.

This is such middle school me's writing and it's so funny.

"I don't know. Miss Sasha and Miss Jennifier didn't say." I answered, and his face went into a disappointmented pointed expression. "I'm sure we'll find out soon, though!"

"Yeah, I hope so." Miranda nervously murmured, seeming scared. "Where's our 5th person?"

Just as she finished her question, they walked in. The door automatically shut behind him.

"Seriously?" Kris complained as Owen sat on the other side of Miranda. "You? Of all people!"

And so the rivals to lovers arc begins.

"At least he doesn't pick fights he can't win." Reese butted in, referring to her fight with Kris earlier.

Before things get bad, I stop them. "Hey guys, think we're moving." I point out. We all look out the window.

"We're underground?" Kris asked, seeing nothing but dirt and rocks.

"That would explain why the ceiling is covered and we can't go outside." Owen pieces things together.

"That would also explain why the big metal doors are slanted. They're designed to look like a valley or maybe a hill from the outside." Miranda added.

"And to think we're finally getting to leave after- How many years has it been?" Kris asked, and we all shrug. None of us know how long we're been here. Or how old we are.

I don't know how old they are either. Probably like early teenagers though, because that's how old I was when I wrote this.

"It's doesn't matter how long we've been here. All that matters is that we get to leave." Reese stated, as she looked away from the window.

* * *

After a few hours or so, we came to a stop. I fell asleep on the way, so I wasn't sure if we were above ground yet. Then the door opened.

"It's so bright." Miranda said in awe as she stepped out if the pod first. Outside the pod was green grass, blue skies, and warm rays of sunshine.

"And so warm." I added, stepping out second. Behind me came Reese, Kris and Owen.

"What do we do?" Reese asked, and we all turned to her in confusion. "I mean, we can't just wait here. This could be a werewolf pack area."

Nobody likes werewolves. 😢

"Maybe we should keep moving?" I suggested, not wanted to disturb any werewolves if their were any.

"Where would we go? We've lived underground all our lives, and know only what we read from books about this world." Miranda brings up a point, that we can't argue with.

"I can help with that." An unfamiliar voice comes from behind us. We turn around to see a tall guy with black here hairand glasses. He also has wolf ears and tail, but otherwise looks completely human.

"Who are you?" Reese protective demands, stepping in front of the rest of us.

"I'm Derek. A friend of Sasha's." He explains and Reese steps back.

Sasha's "close" friend.

"You know Miss Sasha?" I question and he nods. "Do you know why we suddenly got sent outside?"

"I'm fuzzy on the details but, I'll explain on the way to my place." Derek told us, leading the way.

Chapter 2- Calum

On our way to Derek's house he explained why we were put into groups and sent around the world in pods. Miss Sasha and her twin sister, Nora, have a nasty rivalry and their fights often results in conflict. For example, the war going on in the Werewolf Kingdom.

None of this exposition is important. The story does not get that far anyways.

"So this is just the result of some sibling fight?" Kris asked Derek, in annoyed tone of voice. Though, Sasha's Lab didn't accommodate every need and want in life, it was safer then being on the run from soldiers.

"In a sense, yes. This is a result of a sibling fight." Derek answered, as he sat on the couch with his tea. He also made us tea.

It's very important to know that they are drinking tea.

"Do think Miss Sasha will be okay?" Miranda questioned. A dark expression fell over Derek's face as he sipped his tea.

"Only the future can tell." He responds, not wanting to go into details about the survival of Miss Sasha.

"Mr. Derek, where are we going to sleep?" I ask in attempt to plan ahead. "The sun is going down, and it'll be dark soon."

"I have a spare room with two mattresses. You'll have to double up and someone will need to sleep on the couch." He explains, as he looked in to the spare room.

"I'll sleep on the couch." Reese offers, probably not wanting to sleep with other person and because she wants to be closer to the door. "I don't mind."

"Hey Miranda, you wanna be my sleep buddy?" I turn to Miranda, who's a little shocked at my question.

I think Calum and Miranda were meant to be besties.

"Umm, sure." She seemed worried, though she tends to worry over extremely small things. That means Kris and Owen are buddies. They've already acknowledged that, though.

~~~~

I wake up to the sun shining in my face. I slowly get up, not wanting to wake Miranda, and look outside. Outside is a town full of life. Well as full of life as you get at 4 am.

I walk into the living room and see Reese watching the TV. "Anything about Miss Sasha? Is she okay?" I asked, starting to worry about her.

They have TV?! Do they also have refrigerators too?!

"Nope. Nothing about her yet." Reese seemed uneasy and patted her hand on the spot on the couch beside her, wanted me to sit down. I do as she wants not wanting to hurt her feelings. "I wonder if the others made it. Like if there were pods after ours." She states.

"We probably aren't the only ones. I saw Miss Jen load a lot of other pods besides ours." I explain, making Reese easy up a little.

"Hey Calum?" She turn me and I think I know what happens next. "Want to do some early mourning training in the back yard?"

Reese x Calum was very much my intention, but I kinda read Calum as aro now.

"Sure!" I response happy to spend time with Reese.

Chapter 3- Kris

I woke smelling bacon. My favorite. I get out of bed and then something follows me. Owen.

"I forgot you existed." I explain, as I try to push past him to get to the door. He moves out of my way, with no objection. "I'm glad your such a kiss ass." I blurt out, not realizing I said that aloud.

"Thank you, Kris." The smaller boy thanked me with his tone full of malice. "If it wasn't early I'd kill you right now." He threatens before leaving the room. I follow, and ending up in Derek's dinning room.

Wow such romantic banter.

Reese and Calum are already in here sitting at the table while Miranda helps Derek pass out plates of food.

"When did you two get up?" I ask, Reese and Calum as I take a seat. It just so happens that the only other empty seat is beside me and that's where Owen sits. "And how long how you two been up?"

"We got up early to

We'll never know what Reese was going to say. 😔 

Next up is a big one.
