《Captured》Chapter 4 - Genetically Engineered
Advertisement
Once again, I'm rudely awoken to the loud alarms blaring to wake us up. I hold my head and sigh, then stand up and stretch. I yawn and sigh, but then jump when I hear someone screaming. I open the slot in the glass and see Natalia being dragged by five guards. “HEY! LET HER GO!” I yell through the glass, I start pounding on it and yelling, she screams and reaches for me, when our eyes locked, I saw tears streaming down her face.
I growl and step back from the glass, my bones crack and grow, pop and skin tears into place. My wendigo form is hideous and terrifying, but it comes with benefits, being fast and strong, though it sucks I can only see things that move. I slam myself against the glass and dig my nails into it. The noise hurt my ears but if it allowed me to get closer to my sister, then it sounds like sweet violin music. I growled and snarled, trying to get out. I slam myself against the wall where I was scratching, and it cracks. I do it again and it cracks some more.
Before I could break out my cell door hisses and guards flood my room, Natalia was being held and was watching me, she was saying something, but I could not tell what. Maybe it was a warning? Well, if that is true, then it was too late. Because next thing I feel is a sharp pain in my chest, and then I fall. I feel myself shrinking back down to my half-human form and losing consciousness. Now everything is black...
NATALIA’S POV
I scream for Bishop to calm down, so that he would not get shot, but what does he do? The opposite, now he has a paralyzer dart in his chest and we both get experimented on today. I struggle and try to fight back, but slowly give up, I look at my brother and see him passed out behind me. I sigh and start to shake “What if we don’t make it through this procedure?” I thought to myself. Once we get to the Lab part of the facility, me and Bishop are strapped to two tables.

I see Dr. Carter in the corner of my eye “Why is he here? I just asked for the female wendigo.” I can’t hear what the guard says but, they get slapped. I struggle and try to get out the metal restraints, holding my head, neck, arms, wrists, waist, legs, and ankles in place. Dr. Carter walks over to me and smiles “Oh don’t worry, your father had this procedure as well, and he’s simply fine, you will be injected with the DNA of a traditional wendigo, you know... The one with antlers and part deer?” He smiles
He unbuttons my shirt and takes it off “Please know this brings me no pleasure, I’m Gay.” He says with a slightly disgusted look. “As if I couldn’t tell by your voice,” I say as he grabs a large needle, it had a large cord that was connected to the machine behind me. “Now, count to 10, on 10 this needle will go into your solar plexus, you know that little place in your upper abdomen?” I was getting sick of his talking, so I just did as told. “1, 2, 3--” I scream as he plunges the needle into me. “THAT WASN’T FUCKING 10 CAN’T YOU COUNT?!” I yelled up at him and he started laughing.
I growl and feel dizzy, he laughs a bit and smiles “Oopsie, looks like I’m giving you too much blood, your heart rate has gone up significantly, but your body temperature has dropped a couple of degrees. My bad!” His smile gets wider “You're a fucked-up asshole you know that Dr. Carter?” He laughed and nods “Yeah, I’ve been called worse,” I growl and start shaking, it was very cold. He walked over to Bishop and smiled, I started to try to get out again, but I felt a sharp pain and scream.
“See, you can’t move without being in immense pain with that needle there.” He giggles and grabs a syringe; it has some sort of blue glowing liquid. He noticed my staring and smiled “This is siren blood; it should speed up his healing process.” He smiles and stabs the needle into my brother, I was so furious that my words came out as growls and yells. He walked over to me and noticed that the needle in my chest was empty, “So you managed to stay conscious throughout the process huh?” He stared at me for a while then gently injected my arm with the same stuff he gave to Bishop.

I get a major headache and it doesn’t help that he rips the needle out of my chest. I groan and whimper as I see him smile, I scream when the new antlers come shooting out of the top of my head, I feel blood drip down my face, then it almost immediately stops. Dr. Carter smiles and giggles “Looks like the siren blood works.” I wince and dig my nails into my hands. It was the worst migraine ever and it didn’t help that what seemed like one of the only lights in the room was in my face.
I groan and look over at Bishop, my vision was a little hazy, but I can see a female in a tight white dress, it had a collar, but it was unbuttoned to show her cleavage, a blushed and scowled, then started growling. “Aw, look at Bishop, he always looks so peaceful when he is asleep. Don ’cha think Carter?” She looks at Dr. Carter who was next to me, he rolled his eyes “Please, Ms. Emily, you’re a cougar. Leave the 24-year-old wendigo hybrid alone.” She giggles and places her hand on my brother's cheek “D-don’t lay your dirty hands on my brother you slu-” I started to get to dizzy that I couldn’t finish my sentence and ended up losing consciousness.
I regained a bit here and there, while we were being carried to our rooms, I’m not sure what happened, but I want to see my brother again, I’m his big sister, I must protect him, even though he looks and is taller than me.
BISHOP’S POV
I woke up in my cell, I groaned and rubbed my forearm. There was a couple of puncture marks there, I guess from a needle? I drew a deep breath and sighed; I hate needles. My door hissed and opened, Dr. Emily walked in, she was wearing her usual button-up dress with the collar neatly folded just below her neck. “Hey, I heard about what happened, and I brought you some food.” She smiled and placed a tray next to me. “Dr. Carter said you're going to have to be quarantined until we make sure you and your sister react well to the blood. So, this is the last visit we will have in a while.” She walked in front of me and crouched down to meet my eye level since I was sitting.
“I’ve always liked you Bishop, even when you were a kid. So, since your big now, we can--” I growled and pushed her away from me “Sorry, but I don’t like older women, plus I have a male lean, so you can expect me and Atlas to be a couple before I would even consider a toothpick like you.” I stand up and push her out, along with the tray of food she brought. “Take your saggy tits and get away from me,” I growled and slammed the door behind me. I sighed and rubbed my temples as I plopped myself down in the corner and tried to go to sleep, “Imma have nightmares because of that-” I said aloud before falling asleep.

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
