Twelve hours later.....
"Uhhh"
Checking his surroundings, only you notice he somehow arrived back in his room.
'When did I get back here? Uhhh, this headache is killing me.'
Walking over to the bathroom for his regular morning routine, still deep in his thoughts.
'Okay, the last thing I remember was that boy attacking m...'
Cinder quickly took off his white shirt and proceeded to turn around.
'What? Those gashes just disappeared? Impossible, was it a dream? It cant be that pain was too intense and that.' "Bloodlust, I've never felt such an urge to kill before... It seems I'm a monster, physical and mental... Heh heh heh."
"Knock, knock."
"Give me one second; I'm in the shower."
After hoping out and getting dressed," You can come in." Said Cinder; walking into his room was none other than his primary nurse and his informant Jess.
"Good morning Adam, how are you feeling?"
"Can't complain; how bout you?"
"I'm much better after seeing you," Jess said with a light blush.
'My looks seem to be spell-inducing, or maybe she was always like this, but it doesn't matter.'
"Thank you; you're the only thing good here. Anything new since the last time I saw you?"
"No, not much, Oh, wait, there was something new, now what was it? Hmmm, Oh right, there seems to be a new group coming in today."
"A new group?"
"Yes, a new group of volunteers, but instead of just boys this time, there are also girls."
'Girls? From my understanding, they only took in boys... wait, this facility's name is 'Garden of Eden'; I guess they could want an eve now since they have me? Or something else, my information could all be false besides they should know this nurse is my informant, there's no way there's not a camera in this room, they just don't care.'
"Hello, earth to Adam."
"Oh, my apologies, I was lost in my thoughts."
"That's alright. I have to go now see you around dinner time." Before she left, Jess quickly turned around and kissed Cinder's cheek.
"He, he, gotta go bye-bye."
Now once again left all alone with only his food and thoughts to keep him company.
'For a 24-year-old, she sure acts like a child, but who am I to judge look at me; I'm just some bastard using her for information.'
"Sigh."
'But what else can I do? If I tell her, she'll either A won't believe me or B believe me and get herself killed.'
After eating, Cinder was once again called in and led to the same room, but this time there were two boys with the same look as the previous one, but there was one big difference, these two were both eight feet tall and shredded like they did steroids.
(Nick) "Now, if you would please enter."
'How the hell am I supposed to deal with them?! I can't even remember how I survived my last encounter!'
"Why are they here?"
'Please tell me this is a joke.'
"Isn't it obvious? Same drill as last time, survive."
"How?"
"Have faith, Adam; you are perfect; they are not with your enhancements; this will be a cakewalk."
Said Nick before the steel doors closed on Cinder, locking him in with those monsters.
'One day, I will kill these pricks.' Cinder said, full of hate.
(Nick) "Do you think he will survive this time?"
(Doc. Chris) "Yes, I do; if he shows that same power from last time, he will wipe the floor with these failures."
"Sir, I've been meaning to ask, what happened yesterday with Adam?"
"Even I'm not 100 percent sure; this is our first perfect specimen, but I do have my suspicions."
Back to Cinder with two behemoths staring him down.
'How do I even go about this? my childhood didn't teach me how to fight; I can take a beating thanks to bitch and bastard, but how would that help me.'
The two behemoths started walking over to Cinder.
'Thankfully they're not fast; that's my only advantage.'
Cinder quickly circled the two giants; now, with their backs exposed, Cinder went in, only to be rejected with two fists closing in on his face. After successfully escaping, Cinder reassessed his opponents.
'So they're not slow enough for such a trick to work, but I'm definitely faster than them. Should I close in to dodge last-second?'
With both, his eyes still focused on his opponents, something unexpected happened. One of his enemies started crouching.
'No, don't tell me.'
Before Cinder could prepare, giant one raced off at unbelievable speeds even to Cinder. Dodging last second by the skin of his teeth, thrown across the room only to notice he wasn't as whole anymore. Cinder's left arm seems to have found a new home in giant one's stomach.
(Cinder) "Mumbled screams"
Having trouble standing, Cinder starts to sway back and forth, blood spilling everywhere. Cinder's vision starts getting hazy, unable to notice two behemoths slowly walking over to finish him off.
'Why am I so weak compared to these two? Aren't I suppose to be Mr. Perfect? If so, why can't I do anything I couldn't land a single blow. What should I do? I'm losing a lot of blood.'
"See! Sir, we have to get Adam out of there its way too early for him to face off against these subjects."
"Have a bit of faith we should see quite a show soon; besides, I'll end it if things get out of hand, so don't worry, Adam can take this much and survive."
"Sir, with all due respect, Adam will die if we don't stop this now. I'm calling in the alpha team."
"Assitant Nick, are you questioning me? cause if so, I might need a new assistant, now if you want to keep your job and life, then you will sit down."
"...."
"Yes, sir, I stepped out of line; please forgive me."
"You are forgiven this once, due remember this for humanity, now sit down and watch the show."
"Yes, sir."
With his back up against the wall, unable to make out what direction death was coming, CInder started to laugh at his own helplessness.
"Hehehe" 'cough' 'cough' 'so is this how it ends? What a pathetic older brother I am. I couldn't amount to anything 'cough' 'cough';" Blood started to escape Cinder's pale lips.
As the two monsters' steps drew closer, Cinder could hear someone whispering in his ear with disappointment and utter delight.
(???) 'Hehehehehe, want some help weakling?'
