     well, this is my first fanfic here. woot woot
Your name is JOHN EGBERT and you are now questioning your sanity. For years on
end, your life has been…Perfect. Ever since you could remember, you have never
once in your life seen any mishap in SBURB CITY. No sickness, no murder’s.
Everything is just…happy news. You can sometimes feel your sanity ooze from
your ears and it slowly drains and makes itself known on the very same pure
white walls you see every day. White, white, white. No red, blue, or god damn
gray. Just…white. You can't help but feel as if you’re living in a mental
institute.
You stare outside of your classroom window as your teacher blabs on about
something you can't even remember. You are a normal A and B student, you have
never once been grounded, and you guess you’ve made a lot of friends, since
everyone's so nice. The whole school is whacked out, you feel. But you never
question them. You don’t want to stick out, for it’s just embarrassing for you
to be put on the spot like that. Everything just seems so damn normal that it
makes you scratch and wrack at your brain. Well, there are these three other
kids who make you wonder.
Rose, Jade, and Dave. Rose is really pretty. With her short blond hair and her
bright violet eyes. She some times freak you out, the way she stares and
observes you and other things. She continues to jot things down, when she looks
up though. Then there’s Jade. She look’s a little like you, except for her
vibrant green eyes when yours are blue. She asks a lot of questions. A teacher
even gave her detention for it. And then lastly there’s Dave. He kind of freaks
you out, but attracts you at the same time. He wears these dark tinted shades
and hangs around school when its over. He seems just…sketchy.
You shake the thought of the three odd-ball’s from your head. You try to focus
your attention to your teacher, but then the class door opens.
Oh, god.
It’s Dave. He had that same poker face he wore everyday, and those shade’s made
him look even more serious. You curiously watched him as he approached the
teacher from behind, everyone didn't say a word. That’s when you notice
something in his hand. It glinted and shined a little in the rays of sun light
that escaped through the window. Dave raised his right hand, then your breath
hitched. Oh my god, was that a bat? Oh my god, that was a metal bat. You
silently panic as Dave aimed for the back of the teachers head. What the hell?
Did no one else see him, why wasn’t anyone warning the teacher? Well you
shouldn’t talk, because right now you’re gripping the edge of your desk as Dave
is getting ready to swing. You open your mouth to say something, but your mouth
is to dry to get anything out. As Dave raised the bat high above his head, you
watched in slow-mo as it happened.
Then he swung.
All you could hear was a short scream. And a loud crack. You stared in horror
as your teacher’s skull slowly slid from the chalk board and his body fall
limply to the floor with
A loud ‘thud’. Everyone watched in terrified silence as Dave turned around and
stared at everyone, judging through his tinted glasses. You felt a shiver run
down your spine, fear that he would come for you next. Your eyes drifted to the
lifeless body on the floor, red slowly oozing and forming a puddle on the floor
around Dave’s feet. You heard a scream, then everyone started to rush and file
out from the classroom. Everyone except for you. You couldn’t move, you were
too scared. Dave noticed you, your heart almost stopped as he stared walking
towards you.
“Egbert, right?” he say’s. You nod slowly. Oh god, you never thought It would
end like this. “Come here.” he grabs you by the hand and drags you to the door.
There you see Rose and Jade waiting on the other side of the door, arms crossed
and face serious. You pull away before they even drag you outside.
“Stop it! What are you doing, why did you kill him!?” They stare at you,
exchanging silent glances. You feel slight panic, but hell you are not going to
let them drag you around with out a fight “What is wrong with you, why would
you do that!?” Rose was the first to speak.
“Because everything isn’t what it seems,” You stared at her like she was crazy.
Wait. She was crazy. “John, listen to us. Everything Is a lie, nothing here is
real.” you glare.
“As if I’m listening to that crap,” Dave shoves you to your now deceased
teacher, forcing you to look at the limp body. You flinch as you get a closer
look, but then you look a little closer as something else was dripping besides
blood. It was blue and it looked like…numbers? “What’s going on, that’s not
blood.” Rose nods, walking to the body and crouched next to it. She dipped two
fingers into the blue mess, she brought it to your face and in mere seconds it
crumbled into glittery dust and blew away.
“This ‘world’ we supposedly live in…is just a hoax,” Rose rubbed her finger’s
free of the dust.
“Sorry we were so rough, but we had to act fast.” Jade reaches into her pocket,
pulling out a gun.
“Whoa, whoa!” You shout “What are you doing with that?”
“You don’t expect us to break out of here unarmed, do you?” You stare dumbly at
her as Dave hands you a wooden bat. You held in your sweaty palms. Oh god, this
is insane. Yet you’re still going through with this insanity. Well, your mind
was already half way gone. Why not go down the rabbit hole a few feet or two,
there’s no harm in complete insanity.
Until you're hauled to jail, that is.
You follow the three nut cases down the hall and into the cafeteria. You look
around as they stop. “What? What’s wrong?” Dave points ahead, four teachers
blocking your path .
“We’re going back.” Rose turned around, getting ready for a sprint. But stopped
dead in her tracks for a crowd of students blocked their path.
“Shit, what do we do?” Jade said, panic on her face. A teacher ran for Dave,
who was caught off guard as he was knocked into the wall. He growled, getting
up and smacked the teacher in the side of his head with the bat. Wow, this guy
has good aim. You looked at the dent in the wall, then noticed how it began to
chip away. And instead of another wall, you saw a gaping hole of black.
“The wall is…” Rose trailed off, gripping her own bat tighter. “Everyone, start
hitting the walls!” Jade aimed at the wall and pulled the trigger to her
pistol. More pieces of the wall broke and crumbled to pieces. Next thing you
knew Dave, Rose and Jade where shooting and smashing at the walls. You looked
at them, well, might as well join them. You raised the bat high above your head
then smashed it hard against the wall. You heard a loud crash, a quick buzz.
Then everything crumbled and became black.
You’re not even sure about life anymore.
= = >
Your eyes flutter open, you fell cold, wet, and sleepy as fuck. You open your
eyes wider, then your breath hitched. Oh god, you where in a tube. You stared
at the see through glass as rows of large, metal and glass tubes lined up in
front of you. You could see little figures in them, but you couldn’t make them
out. You looked down, you didn’t wear clothes, you wore white briefs and
nothing else. A mask was pressed against your face, a tube coming from the end.
You guess that’s how you’re breathing now. Your head was pounding and you have
no idea where the hell you are.
You jolted as a hand tapped on your glass. You looked down, it was Dave, and he
was holding a loose pipe. He mouthed something you couldn’t understand. But
once he stepped back, you got the message. You pressed yourself against the
glass as he broke the glass with one hard swing. You stepped out, nearly
collapsing, as your feet touched the hard, cold ground. You pulled the mask
away, and took in a sharp breath of dusty air and oil. You look to your left,
Rose was helping Jade stand, the two girl where dressed in a single white piece
swim suit.
“Where…where are we?” Jade coughed.
“Some kind of breading grounds, I do believe,” Rose replied.
“Well, where ever we are we have t-,” Dave stared at the door “Someone is
watching us,” your head snapped to the direction Dave was pointing to see
someone was, indeed, watching you. The figure quickly disappeared, knowing it
had been spotted. “We need to get out of here…” Dave said. That's when you
noticed his eyes. They where a ruby red and a little blood shot. Do eyes like
those even exist?
= = > John: Be the body guard.
Your name is JAKE ENGLISH. And right now you are certainly not amused. You
watched as all four experiments (or as their proper name: Projects #435643)
escaped from their pods. Mister English won’t be pleased about this. No, not at
all. You grabbed your rifle and stepped out of the security room. You hated
this job, you hated your boss, and you certainly hated this god damn lab. Every
night, you hear the screams of pain caused by the experiments. You didn't know
who you felt more pity for. Project A.N.C.E.S.T.O.R , or project T.R.O.L.L.
Either way, you couldn't stand to watch them suffer the way they do. They acted
as if everything was grand, peachy, fucking perfect. But you knew damn well the
hostility and sorry behind those yellow eyes of theirs.
You made it to the breeding chambers where the four where held. You knew they
where still there, due to the voices you heard behind the door. You sigh and
look at the rifle in your hands. Guess there's no use for this thing. You
dropped it on the floor and pulled out the knock out gas. You quickly unclipped
it and tossed in there, closing the door behind. You held it closed as they
started banging on the door.
“Wait, someone’s in here!”
“Let us out!”
“Help, please!”
You waited for five minutes until the screams died out. You opened the door,
four bodies piled against each other. Oh, crap. You can’t carry them all by
yourself.
“Need help?” Dirk Strider. Your best friend since you came to this forsaken
place. Dirk grabbed the two brunettes while you grabbed the two blonds.
“Thanks, Strider. God knows how long it would take me to put them away.” You
both started walking.
“It's fine, I’ll just tell the old man what happened, okay?” You grin. God,
Dirk is just the best friend anyone could ask for. You examine the experiments
in your arms. You surely wish them luck, because in this place...
They’re going to need it.
