Prologue ~
' "The genetic splicing of the subject was a success. Testing will resume as scheduled..." '
' "The subject completed the maze in record time..." '
' "She's broken out of her cell! LOCK DOWN THE LAB IMMEDIATELY..." '
Roxane Yamagashi awoke with a start from yet another nightmare. Sitting up in her bed, she pushed the silken strands of her raven hair back from her face as her breath came out fast and deep, a light sheen of sweat covered her brow. Tossing aside the bedcovers, Roxane slipped from the bed and went into the en suite bathroom. Turning on the overhead light, she gasped when she caught sight of her appearance in the mirror. Her deep coppery colored skin appeared to be a sickly yellow under the harsh lighting of the bathroom; and her large green-blue eyes had dark circles beneath them. Turning on the water faucet, Roxane splashed some cool water onto her face before taking a deep breath to ease her tightening nerves. Grabbing a handtowel from the racket next to the sink, she dried her face before tossing it on the bathroom counter. Gods, how she hated the nightmares!
Turning off the bathroom light, she stepped out and left her bedroom and went down the hall to the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea which always seemed to soothe her tight nerves after a bad dream. After filling the teapot and setting it on the stove, Roxy turned on her laptop to check her email while waiting for the water to boil. However, nothing that she did to distract herself could take her mind off the nightmares.
Sometimes, the past was best left dead...if only it would listen to reason and stay that way.
