A/N: I am such a bad writer because I only write when the mood hits me and that's almost never. I'm so sorry for being so bad at updating, even though I'm basically just editing my old story to make this and reignite THE GREAT PASSION. Well, Enjoy~

I screamed in alarm, but he slapped me, succeeding in shutting me up.

"Now, now, what's a little beast like you doing all the way over here?" he said in false sweetness, looking at me. I looked back with wide, scared eyes.

"You escaped, didn't you? Well bad animals, get bad punishments," he continued. My eyes filled with more tears by the second.

He threw me on the floor, my head banging on the floor in the most painful way, giving me an extreme headache, hopefully not a concussion. The monster then proceeded to kick me in the side and I heard a sickening crack. He suddenly started dragging me to an unknown location. I struggled, but it was useless against a grown man, especially when I wasn't even half his size.

'What were they going to do to me? I let my guard down and was caught, so it's my fault. What could be worse than the experiments!' were some thoughts running through my frenzied mind.

That's why I was surprised when I got thrown back into my cell, the other jail-mates watching as my beaten body go thrown back. He closed and locked the door. Once his footsteps faded, I ran, well more like limped, to the corner and huddled into a ball.

I didn't want to explain this to the others and freak them out just yet.

Omniscient POV

The jail mates watched with surprise, the usually happy-go-lucky girl, was now broken, beaten, and crying on the floor.

New thoughts like ' When are they going to punish me?', 'What's so horrible that he would have to prepare it?', and 'Am I not going to be punished?' ran through her head, the last one being very unlikely, even in her childlike mind.

One of the torturees, the smart alic(Kilik) to be specific, sighed while placing a hand on his head.

"What happened?" the simple question broke through the silence.

She looked up with teary eyes and spoke" Let's wait for brother to get back." And that's where they are now, waiting for her brother to return. The ominous feeling still in the pit of her stomach.

"What could be worse than what already happened," She cried out loud, earning stares from everyone. She blushed and ducked into her knees, mimicking a turtle almost. After another 20 minutes or so, the door finally opened and her brother walked in. She immediately ran to him and gave him a hug while crying.

"What's wrong?" he asked. He saw many glances his way, and more importantly stares directed at his sister. This was going to need a lot of explaining.

Spitfire's POV

"What's wrong?" I asked out of extreme concern.

"Brother, please don't be mad, but today I sneaked out of the cell. " she whispered. The other members of the room fell flat on the floor with sweat drops.

"WHAT!" I practically screamed in a wild panic, looking at her with anger and disbelief. How could she be such a moron!

When she winced, I softened my gaze a little bit as I said in a hushed tone, "You're in major trouble now. Didn't I tell you to always listen to the experimenters and to never run away! You're in major trouble now. What happened while I was gone?" he screamed not even noticing he said 'you're in major trouble now' twice.

"I told her it was a bad idea, but a good way to sneak out. She ran away and you can't open the doors from the inside. She is a real idiot, other than #31460(TBA?)," said the pink-haired ones twin brother(Kilik).

"Hey!" cried #31460(TBA), "I taught you all how to read!"

"That's where you're wrong my friend. There are two kinds of stupid, the lack of intelligence, and the lack of common sense. While you have intelligence, you have no common sense." said the boy with the really long blonde hair (Falco).

"Agreed/ +50 points for superior information, but -10 points since I thought of it first," said everyone and the smart alic(Kilik).

"Why didn't you stop her!" I shouted, but my question went unanswered as my sister continued. "When I ran away, I was curious to what was on the other direction of the hallway, so I went there. There was one door, and I opened it..." she started when I interrupted her.

"You opened it without knowing if anyone was there!" I screamed.

"Don't worry, the room was empty, so I was fine." she said quietly. I face-palmed.

"Continuing, Inside it was humongous," she opened her arms wide and stood on her tiptoes to illustrate how big it was. I tried to keep my giggle in, but barely succeeded. While the lighter personality of the dark-haired twins laughed openly.

"On one side there was a bunch of computers and filing cabinets and on the other side, you wouldn't believe it, but there were millions of things called books. Remember, #31460 taught us!" she continued excited.

"See, I taught her common sense," said #31460(still TBA), trying to regain his self dignity, though he was completely ignored. I thought about it for a moment before it entered my head what it was he taught us. Books, pieces of paper, with words telling a story on them, bound together, usually with a cover.

She saw one, no one million! Lucky! I was now even more interested in her story. "But first," she teased, "let me tell you what I saw on the computer." A seriousness in her voice I rarely heard.

"There were files on all of us experiments," I looked on waiting for her to continue, " It said our age, height, weight, and all those things, but what really surprised me was… "

"I'm not sure I want you to keep going, but say it anyways." the black-haired boy with many muscles told her.

"It said our 'status', #31460's says failed, mine says partial success, and yours says… pending," she said reluctantly. Pending… which means I could turn out to be a failure or a success. "What happens to failures?" she asked in a small voice.

I couldn't tell her what I expected and instead gave her a comforting hug.

"It'll be ok, I'm sure it's nothing too bad." I spoke, not sure if I was trying to convince her, or myself.

"You must have read it wrong. I am not a failure! I am a Success!" screamed a frightened #31460. He was the second oldest and he saw what happened to failures. They usually get "put down" you could say, but there were some special cases.

"How did you get caught, and what were the books like?" I asked to distract her and everyone else.

She wiped her tears, and replied, "I picked up a book called The Sky's Sunflower. It was so cool. On the front there was a vast blue that never ended called the sky. In the sky, there are white, puffy-looking things called clouds. You can't touch them though, since they're made of water that turned into a gas or precipitated. Also, it talked about plants. They need water, oxygen, and sunlight. Naturally, they face the sun. It was so awesome, until my bad feeling came back."

"Don't predict when something bad is going to happen, because, for some reason, all your predictions come true." I stated.

"I can't help it, it's natural!" she retorted.

"Sure it is.." I said being 110% sarcastic, earning a few giggles from the rest. Hey, it's my duty as an older brother to make fun of her.

"Ugh," she shouted, hitting her head on a wall a few times, "continuing before you so rudely interrupted, I turned around and a torturer was standing there."

"There not torturers, there experimenters, how many times do I have to correct you?" I said.

"Too me they're torturers, who else would hurt poor, sweet, innocent children like us, well, like me at least. The rest of you are kind of ugly, except for you #33" she bragged, screaming conceited. She was referring to the twin of smart alic, a pink-haired girl(Simca), who I have to say was her definition-sweet, poor, and innocent.

"-90 points for lack of common sense, selfishness, bringing my sister into this, and stupidity." guess who said that?(no seriously guess)

"Dude! You have never taken away that many points." said the perverted boy who for an unknown reason loved masks(Black Burn).

"yeah, sure… Torturers are way worse by the way, they do it to get information from you, then they will most likely kill you afterwards." I said cruelly.

"The torturers are collecting information from us, and some of us will get killed in the end, I expect." she said, her voice breaking near the end.

"Trust me sis, even #31460 uses the word experimenters!" I said.

"Actually, I am from now on calling them torturers, since I'll probably be murdered in cold blood." said #31460.

"No one asked for your input!" I shouted, annoyed.

"You call them what you want, but to me it will always be torturers." she said angrily.

"Fine." I agreed.

"anyhow, the torturer," she started

"experimenter," I continued to correct.

"the torturer said he would punish me, beat me up, but then left me in this room?! Do you think that was the punishment?" she said putting emphasis on the word torturer.

"I expect not, but we can hope. Although, the answer can't be good," I said, my face frozen. I decided it at that moment. I would take the fall for her and say I told her to do it. I can't let my little sister get hurt. She's the only family I have left.

"Time to get some rest now. I think it's been an eventful day." said the darker twin(Nike).

Hinata's POV (a few hours later)

Everyone was sleeping and it was the dead of night. Tonight was one of the nights I couldn't fall asleep. My upcoming punishment scaring me was the reason I couldn't sleep this time.

Suddenly, I heard the door's opening, and my fears came to life. There in the door was the head torturer in all his infamous dark glory.

He screamed, "Get up now you dirty little brats!" Everyone got up with frightened, wide, doe-like eyes.

"File out of the room and follow me!" he screamed while taking my arm. No! Not know, not with everyone watching. I could usually cover up my tears by the time I got to my cell, and now they will be watching something worse than my usual torture.

I squirmed and kicked trying to free myself to no avail. We reached the place I usually get experimented on, but we passed it. We kept going, taking lefts and rights, until finally, we reached a door.

It was no different from the rest, white and nondescript. The door opened and we went inside. He pointed to a few seats overlooking the experiment area. They were tied to their seats when they sat down.

"This is to keep you from interrupting." the experimenter said with an evil chuckle.

"Noooooooo! I told her to do it!" screamed my brother.

Unfortunately, his pleas were ignored. I gave up on my struggling by now and gave what might be my last look to my brother. "I'm sorry." I said to him before the head experimenter laughed and carried me to my evident doom.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed. A penny for your thoughts? I feel like this chapter is bad but oh well? T-T
