《Life of an Experiment》 Prologue: “… Nice to meet you….” Well hello. My name is June. Fuck how do I start this..? Uhh, maybe we should start from the beginning. ? ? ? It all started in a lab, Nexus Facilities, to be specific. I was six when I ended up there. I was considered.. A Problem Child. .. Maybe we should just start the story. When I was seven, a year after I was brought to the lab, I bit one of the scientists. Damn child..! Do that again, and see what happens. The old scientist grabbed my arm and stared at me, the glare burning my soul. ? ? ? There I was, back in the cell. A place for hostile experiments A place that I had grown to detest. I had a black eye, the result of my aggression coming back to haunt me again. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. I had been going through this for a year already. There was nothing to do, I couldn''t choose when and what I ate The horrid and TORTUROUS required physical activity was the worst. I had to do FIFTY jumping jacks and run TWENTY laps.. EACH DAY. But, its fine. Everything is fine. There was nothing I could do about it anyway, I was stuck here for gods know how long Nobody to talk to and nothing to do perfect. ? ? ? Two days later, the scientists came in for the weekly tests. Where''s the kid? One of them asked the other, looking around for me. The other spotted me immediately, Over there, how blind could you be? Shut up. Just get the kid. Demanded the first one, who had gray-ish blonde hair swept to the side. The other one who had insulted him approached me, grabbing the chain of my shackled hands and pulling me to my feet, basically DRAGGING me along. ? ? ? I was dragged along, they almost caused me to fall multiple times, but Who cares? Then, I was FINALLY released. Here we were, in an actual decent looking room.. something I havent seen in a year. On the bed reading a book was a person who looked about the same age as me, they had strawberry blonde hair, dark hot pink eyes, golden angel looking wings. Cameron, we have a task for you. The angel kid looked over at us, What task? They questioned, eyeing me, SPECIFICALLY. We would like you to watch this child who is about the same age that you are. The scientists announced to Cameron. Cameron looked at me again, a flash of annoyance in their eyes. Cant you give this task to another worker? This isnt exactly my forte. The two scientists glanced at each other, We could give it to another worker, but he needs influence. Beatings dont work. One of them said, reinforcing his grip on my wrist so I don''t run away. Alright! As long as this doesnt disrupt my other duties, I can do it! Cameron smiled, appearing charming and kind. A few minutes later, the scientists stopped discussing the arrangement thingy with Cameron, they took their leave. ? Camerons glance at June slowly became less kind, more... hateful. Nice to meet you They said, through gritted teeth. ? ? ? “Wow… what a prick..” ? ? ? I woke up in the small little makeshift bed that I had been sleeping in for the past few days I was stuck with this Cameron person watching over me, even though we looked the same age. Apparently they were the model experiment and I could use some influence from them But I just think theyre an arrogant prick. I can always hear the sarcasm in their voice when they speak to me. ? ? ? It was around the time that Cameron came back from their duties and I was lying in their bed since the makeshift bed that was half-heartedly made for me was uncomfortable as fuck. I wasnt aware of the time and the door opened, Cameron walking inside the room, only looking at me after a while of looking at the makeshift bed to see if I was there. When they saw me in their bed, they looked a bit angry and annoyed in some way. Can you get off? Cameron questioned, though it was more a demand than a question. No This is the first comfortable bed Ive laid on in a year I groaned, not wanting to get off of the bed. Im too tired for this shit Mm.. fuck you. I said, before drifting off to a comfortable sleep. ? ? ? His eyes opened, though what he saw wasnt the simple decorations in Camerons room. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. What he saw above him was a ceiling made of wood, the warm glow of a lamp lighting up the room. A beautiful woman walked into the room he was in, carrying a tray, her hair the same brown as his, her eyes a similar glistening green as his.. Happy birthday, sweetheart! She said, cheerfully. Her voice sounded warm and comforting. What the hell happened? He thought, unsure about what was going on. He knew where he was, he knew who this woman was. It was his mother. Though, he wasnt sure if this was a dream or if the year in the lab was a dream Are you alright, honey? She looked at him, concerned, Its your sixth birthday, youve got plenty more to come.. whats with the troubled look? He tried to calm himself down, Uhm.. Im fine, mother I just.. had a bad dream. She smiled at him, her hair swaying as she tilted her head. You always seem to have bad dreams recently.. She started to laugh a bit at what he said. Yeah, well uhm.. Im reading a.. horror novel..? He tried to think of an excuse, though excuses werent really his thing. Mhm, sure. She sighed, Anyways, your friend came over for your birthday. I need to finish making the food. She left the room, leaving June wondering who the hell she was talking about. He didnt have any friends, depressing as that sounds.. But someone walked to his door, carrying a small bag, was a familiar strawberry blonde kid the same age as him. He noticed the hot pink eyes that looked at him, confusing him even more. It was Cameron They seemed to have noticed his confused look Dude? You okay? You are uh staring a lot. June blinked, realizing that he had been staring a lot. Though, in his defense, it was super fucking confusing. He nodded, though immediately after, Cameron started talking again. You look different. Did your eyes always look like that? Which was weird, because what did that mean..? ? ? ? I woke up, breathing heavily. I saw Cameron writing something at a desk. As I watched them for a bit, I saw them get annoyed and ball up the piece of paper they were writing on. They threw it on the ground, groaning. Whatcha doing, Ronnie? I said, trying to annoy them. Considering the last time I said it, they almost hit me, but it was in front of an audience so they couldnt let their perfect persona fall. Though, since they were in private, Cameron didnt have to have their perfect persona on. Stop. Stop calling me that. They sighed, seeming stressed. Ha. Loser. I laughed, getting off their bed.. I walked around the room, then decided to peek at what they were doing. But that idiot flipped the damn paper over.. RIGHT AS I WAS ABOUT TO LOOK. The fuck do you want? They scowled, obviously annoyed. Well, OBVIOUSLY, I wanted to see what my new best friend was doing!! I said, my words having a joking tone to them. Dont eugh, dont call me that. I, very sneakily and very stealthily, reached for the paper they were writing on. They smacked my hand away. Oh, come on, Cameron! Whatcha writing??? I asked, purposely annoying them. Its none of your concern. Wow. What a prick. I walked around the room, just bored, and trying to get my mind off the dream I had. ? ? ?
