Chapter 4: Night Eternal
Somewhere in the depths of the Everfree Forest...
Luna opened her eyes as a wave of pain surged through her. She groaned as the pain intensified, and began to convulse. Then, as suddenly as the pain began, it disappeared.
"Still nothing," said a voice.
"Nope," said another voice. "It like it's fur is made of kevlar or something, I don't know. The saw just won't cut through."
"Bah, let's just leave it for now and come back later," said a third voice, "Besides, I'm getting hungry."
A sound of approval eminated from the other two, and the voiced slowly faded. A screeching sound was heard, then a loud clang, then silence.
Once Luna was sure she was alone, she opened her eyes.
It was obvious she was in some type of laboratoy, and she was on a operating table, but a lot of the equipment was strange. Metal boxes with lights and displays lined the room. She saw the scalples and dissection tools lined neatly on a table beside her table and instantly knew one thing.
She needed to escape, and fast.
Suddenly, alarms began ringing, and red lights began flashing. At the same time, a voice began blaring on the loudspeaker.
“ATTENTION! SUBJECT 1462 HAS ESCAPED IT’S CELL! SECURITY PERSONEL TO SUB-LEVEL 12! USE OF LETHAL FORCE AUTHORIZED!”
Luna didn’t know what any of that meant, but she knew that lethal wasn’t a good thing. But someone else was here? And they’d escaped? Maybe she could use that as a diversion for her escape!
Luna quickly blasted down the door and galloped into the corridor. Everything looked the same as she raced through the long halls. Eventually, she saw wording on a wall that read SUB-LEVEL 0-GROUND LEVEL, which told her that any door to the outside would get her out of wherever she was.
A short while later, she came across a door with a sign that read EXIT, and quickly went through to be greeted by the damp, morning air of the Everfree Forest. As she made her way away from the facility, she hoped her sister hadn’t been captured as well.
