Eli had spent the night on one of the old busted up couches in the abandoned house. It had been his first night of freedom since being chosen, and although exhausted from the escape his sleep was restless. He mumbled in his sleep, tossed and turned, whimpered, and occasionally woke up throughout the night from the nightmares. Every time he closed his eyes he was back at the facility, reliving the experiments done to him and experiencing new ones that his haunted mind dreamed up while he slept.

Before falling asleep the night before, Eli had explored the abandoned house for a bit. It was clear from the piles of trash, occasionally used needles, and the graffiti on the walls that they were not the first people to squat here. The only semi useful thing he had found was an old pack of playing cards which he kept in the pocket of his jeans. There was no food in the house, he had gone to bed hungry which wasn’t exactly new to him but he needed to eat something soon. As he sat up and stretched some his stomach growled; Eli had also tried to eat as little as possible while they were kept in the facility, after finding out their true intentions were to make them all fight to the death he didn’t trust anything that they offered him.

Yesterday had been hard; waking up basically a prisoner held captive by his own government, the escape, and the constant fear of being caught before find a place to rest. Today was better though, today he was free, he had decided he would not allow himself to be taken back, and he was confident that with his new abilities and those of the people he had escaped with they stood a chance staying free. He breathed in the stale musty air of the house as his eyes adjusted to the faint light that snuck through the boarded-up windows. Jess, the girl who had stepped into the role of their leader, was walking through the house waking the others.

Eli wanted to go out to try and get some water and something to eat, he hoped the rest of the group felt the same way. It would be difficult to try and steal enough for six people, he didn’t know if any of the others had any skill at theft and as far as he knew they didn’t have any money between them. He also felt they should keep moving, find a new shelter, and not to stay in one place for too long. He caught a familiar sent in the house, someone was smoking, and he left the room he was in and followed the smell to the other room on the ground floor.

“Hey where’d ya get smokes?” He asked as he took a seat on the opposite end on the couch Agnes was sitting on. “Got any to share?” He asked. The first smoke of the morning was always the best one.
