Maze looked into the two way mirror, “I know you’re watching me. I can see your body heat and hear your heart beating in your chest.” She said, as she locked eyes with the man who was in charge of the research institute she was being confined in.

“Mark down that the patient in room 302 has shown characteristics of the H2 and W5 genes, four times faster than the other genetic mutations from previous experiments.” Dr. Wright stated to the nurse who held a clipboard next to him. She nodded and wrote down what she was told.

Maze smirked, “You should add that the subject also plans to torture and kill all who are involved with the experiments she’s been put through.” Maze looked over to the nurse, “I’ll start with the right hand nurse.”

The nurse began to breathe heavier but tried to conceal it. “I can smell your fear.” Maze said menacingly. The nurse looked at Dr. Wright and left quickly.

Dr. Wright looked at Maze and sighed. “Your killing instincts need to be eradicated. Unfortunately all other experiments on other subjects have proven deadly. Thankfully we have learned from the past and have added security to the room you are in to ensure you cannot manage to escape.”

Maze scoffed. “You do realize that you’re insane, right? You DO know what insanity is, don’t you?” The doctor chuckled, “Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result each time. While you may be correct on what I am doing, I am far from insane. If I were insane I would come in there and do other experiments to you.”

Maze’s hair on the back if her neck stood up on end, “and what would that be?” She said, holding back the anger that was coursing through her body. The doctor leaned forward, putting his weight on the two way mirror; “I’d like to see what would be the result of a man and beast woman reproducing. Would it be more man? Or more beast?” His smile shook Maze to the core.

“Touch me, and you die.” Maze growled. Dr. Wright smirked, “we’ll see about that after my next experiment for you.” He left as five men entered the room, knocking Maze unconscious with a drug inside a syringe.

Maze woke up dazed and confused. She felt her entire entity had changed. Everytime they experiment on her she feels a piece of herself fall away. Becoming more animal-like each time.

Dr. Wright approached the two way mirror, “it will take you about two weeks to know what I did to you. In that time, you will be monitored. Though you are the 5,422 subject of mine; you were the first to survive. My first successful experiment. You gave me the key to my research. And if you give me what I want, I’ll give you your freedom.”

Maze want able to reply before the doctor walked off. She hated him, hated all that he does. He stole her from her family when she was 13 and tortured her over and over again; opening her up, adding to her and subtracting what she was. Over and over again, in some sick plan to get rid of cancer. It was all a lie, Dr. Wright had told her himself, his true objective for the experiments.

“He’s an idiot.” Maze said as she began searching her body of any anomalies. Internally and externally.

Two weeks past and Maze finally found the new gene that was placed inside of her. Fox. As Maze stared at the doctor through the two way mirror she felt such an overwhelming amount of anger. ‘He wants to mate’ She said inside her head, grinning at him she motioned him to come to her.

She heard his heart begin to race, she could smell his pheromones surging. His want for her was higher than the pleasure she knew she would receive in a matter of seconds.

He opened the door and locked it with a remote key he has placed in his pocket. He began taking off his coat, then his button up shirt. He wasn’t proportionally disappointing, he was tall with a athletic build and veins protruding from his arms and hands. His brown eyes darkened, as he approached biting his lower lip that lay perfectly on his chiseled face.

He grabbed Maze by the hip he thrusted against her, she yelped then leaned towards him. Placing her hands on his pecks, running them along his abs then down to his pants. “I’m so glad you turned 18 last month. But it doesn’t matter anymore, what matters is that you want me as much as I want you.”

Maze smiled, placing her hands on his shoulders again, nuzzling her nose in the crevice of his neck. It was like an unconscious effort, Maze didn’t want to but her body was in its own world.

The doctor slowly undressed Maze, she moaned with every touch. “What did you do to me?” Maze asked, as the doctor kissed her shoulder. “This isn’t just fox.”

The doctor chuckled, “you noticed, huh? I added a little extra something.” He moved his hands over her body. “What is it?” She asked heavily, as she moved with his hands. “I’ll give you a hint,” the doctor said, “it is large, and while it looks tough; it has one of the most sensitive skin in the animal kingdom.” He took off his pants, and underwear before touching her once again.

Maze’s body followed Dr. Wright’s. But her mind searched for the answer. She searched and searched. But she couldn’t find it.

Everytime the doctor added a new gene to her collection, she was able to identify it, and control it. If she isn’t able to do that, then the doctor will get he’s wishing for.

He laid her down, and began kissing her body. Maze was filled with fear but her body wouldn’t listen to her. ‘Damn it. What’s large, looks tough but has sensitive skin? I’m drawing a blank. Elephants? No that’s too much strength. Andaconda? Closer. Too long.

Maze’s eyes shot open as the doctor slid it inside her, “alligator.” She said.

She used her strength and threw the doctor off of her, he hit the back wall. He yelled in pain, “damn it.” He said as he stared at her, “I was about to…”. She approached him, “doesn’t matter now. Your little friends outside can’t open the door, because of that little key in your pocket.” Maze looked behind her to look at his pants.

“And unlucky for you, it’s on the other side of the room. You are so vulnerable right now…” Maze’s voice began to growl as she approached him.

“Don’t worry doctor. This won’t hurt a bit. I’m only going to do what you did to me… except I won’t put you back together.” Maze smiled evilly.

The doctor’s screams echoed through the hallways of the institution. His team ran to the room, but by the time they made it; Maze was already gone.

The nurse ran inside the room only to see the doctor ripped apart, lifeless. No eyes, nor tongue, nor heart, nor guts, nor hands or feet, nor throat. She screamed and dropped down to the floor.

“Seems as though you were in love with him.” Maze said through the intercom. The nurse tried to escape the room but Maze had closed the door. “When did you..” she asked. Maze pressed the button for the intercom again, “when you screamed over your lovers body. You know he tried to have sex with me, right? That’s why he’s naked, and why I was able to escape. But unfortunately for you, you won’t be escaping. You will stay in there forever.”

“Yea, sure I will.” The nurse said obnoxiously. “Oh, you will. See I’ve already let out most of the other experiments you both have tortured. Many with a bigger grudge against you than they do for the doc himself… I’ll let them say ‘hi’ to you. Nice and personal.” Maze laughed then opened the door as 4 individuals approached, “she’s all yours.” Maze said to the men and woman who looked more animal than they did human.

Maze closed the doors and watched through the mirror as they tore the nurse apart limb by limb, slicing her with their talons and claws. Listening to her screams, Maze moaned in pleasure.

Proudly walking away Maze opened the door slightly, to allow the four individuals inside to get out

Chaos enveloped the facility, as the other 204 experiments attacked all personnel who worked there. Maze walked through it all, and breathed in the smell of blood and fear. “Estacy. Pure estacy.” Maze said in a low and satisfied voice.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Maze stood at the entrance of the facility, staring at the brutal scene of the other experiments tearing apart the workers. She knew the truth, that no matter what happens they could not live in the outside world. Despite her wanting her freedom, she couldn’t have children, or have a normal life. Her heart broke slightly, and she sighed sadly.

“Unfortunately for us, we cannot leave this place.” Maze said. She reached for a red switch that was labled ‘pull in case of an escape. WARNING: Lethal gas’ and pulled it.

All exit doors slammed shut with a loud thud, and a heavy metal storm door landed in front of them.

Gas began to emmit from the vents from the ceiling, Maze sat down, and breathed in allowing the toxic gas to suffocate her. The others fought til the very end trying to escape, but it was too late.

Maze smiled as she felt herself slip away. “No good would have come from us escaping, but only if we die.” She said before succumbing to the gas, embracing the death she should have experienced four years ago from the cancer that had uncontrollably spread throughout her body.

If her parents hadn’t fallen for the lies Dr. Wright had told them, she could have died surrounded by her family and friends. Peacefully. Instead, she died surrounded by strangers. But at least her family already knows she dead, another lie told by the doctor. All because he wanted to see how far human genetics could be manipulated by the genetics of other animals.

Maze was slumped over, leaning against the wall; her eyes lifeless and a smile on her face. She was finally, truly and utterly free from the nightmare she called her life.
