Conspiracy
This is a new thing I worked on. It took several visits to my ipod to find inspiration for this story. I hope you enjoy it as always!
Song I listened too: Paradise Lost by Hollywood Undead

Conspiracy
The smoke from the man sitting in the room was suffocating. The small room with no windows and boring walls was being filled with this smoke. It started to rise from the man's cigarette and the man coughed while writing in a journal. The man wore a common army uniform and a Soviet Union patch was sewed on his uniform.
Injection 101 was a failure. Subjects to the injection suffered from hallucinations and muscle spasms. The extra fur growth and transformation to wolf-like figures was expected.
The man kept writing until a man in his mid-20s came in wearing a lab coat and glasses. He had Russian features.
"Sir, we are going to test injection 102 on another patient. We need your....."
"Go ahead Wilson." The man in the army uniform said in a heavy Russian accent.
"But sir, did you forget about the other patients of injection 101? We had to put them down." Wilson said warning the man.
"Yes, I heard and we will make up stories about their death. It is very unfortunate."
The man closed the journal lightly and put a hand on Wilson's shoulder.
"You want to see this as much as I don't you? People will understand in the future." He walked out to his private headquarters.
Wilson shivered. For some reason he has a bad feeling about the plan. Wilson immediately shook off the feeling and proceeded into the lab to inspect the new patient.
Where am I? How did I get here? Jake Eternal thought as he took in what he was seeing. He was stuck in a cylinder of glass with green liquid suspending him. Jake squinted and saw pined on the wall a picture of a sickle and the hammer. Jake thought back to his last history lesson. The sickle and the hammer were on the flag of the Soviet Union.
"I thought they disappeared?" Jake thought as many
Jake then felt something around his face. What looked like a gas mask was on around his mouth but really it was giving him pure oxygen so he could breath.
Scientists in white uniforms were running from computer monitor to computer monitor. Jake looked over to a computer monitor that was near him sitting on a table. It read...
Name: Jake Eternal
Sex: Male
Blood Type: O
Race: Caucasian
Nationality: American
Built: Athletic
Eye Color: Orange
Age: 18
They seemed to know everything about him. Jake looked over himself and found he was only in a black Speedo and that he was not hurt in anyway. That was when Jake felt almost like a pinch when he flexed his hand. An IV was stuck in his arm. They were injecting him with something.
A scientist then walked up to the glass cylinder and he blinked and eyed him like an animal. Then his eyes grew wide and he moved to the scientist near him. It looked like he was yelling from the way his mouth moved was, "He is awake!"
The other scientist looked surprised and then it looked like the whole room was looking on him. One of the scientists ran over and checked a computer with a pulse sign on it to see if it was normal. It was.
Then Jake felt it. A burning in his chest and he felt his vision blur. Jake felt his body grow warm but did not have time to yell in shock as fur spread up his body. He felt his legs bulge outward and new muscle started to form. Jake felt his feet move outward and noticed his nails were being replaced with something sharper and deadlier, claws.
Jake felt the air mask move off his nose and the IV needle move out of his arm. Precious air bubbles started to move up the green liquid. Jake then felt the burning sensation on his nose and realized it was growing outward. His nose was more of a muzzle and teeth started to grow larger into fangs. Jake gave a yelp as long pointed ears formed on his head and he felt that he could move a new appendage on his lower end. A newly formed tail swished back and forth in the green liquid.
Jake heard a sickening scratch as his claws pierced the glass holding him and the green liquid rushed out. Jake felt his buoyancy leave him and he fell to the bottom of the cylinder. Then the glass shattered and Jake realized he was on all fours panting and gasping from his lack of air. He blinked once, then twice and fell into unconsciousness.
Jake could hear voices in his dream.
"The transformation must have taken a lot out of him, sir." This must have been one of the scientists. He had a Russian accent and so did the guy he was talking to.
"Yes. It probably did Wilson. I hope this guy does not fall under the same fate as the others..."
Jake did not hear anymore. He kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
Jake woke up in a sweat but he felt a cool air drift around him. Jake looked over to the balcony that was outside that looked out towards the mountains. The balcony was very long and made of wood. It could be reached by a double glass door. Jake looked over to the alarm clock that bared the red letters 7:30 P.M.
Jake then bounced up and down. He was on a bed. In front of him, a wooden table with glass in the middle held up a flat screen TV. Jake looked around and realized he was surrounded in a tan-painted condo with white carpet. A wooden door with a window up above it led probably to the porch outside. The porch had flowers and was nicely watered. Another bed was set by his. Jake shook his head and sighed.
"Just a dream, just a dream..." Jake kept reassuring himself. Jake rubbed his eyes and felt something furry brushing against his lashes. He walked to the bathroom and opened the wooden door. A lone mirror was sitting on top of the sink and a shower and a toilet were tucked nicely in the corner.
Jake took a look in the mirror and did not see the reflection of a human face staring back at him but a wolf. His brown fur reflected back at him and orange eyes. His white chest fur reflected just as recognizable as the brown fur. A Speedo was the only thing he had on until Jake looked over and surveyed the towel stack to see jeans (with a hole for his tail) and a tee shirt were tucked below it. Jake quickly changed.
Jake examined his futures more closely and he turned around to see he had a tail. He then noticed the back of his legs were white. He also gained muscle. He still had the figure of an athlete though.
Jake quickly learned this was not home. Then there was a knock on the door. Jake jumped and walked towards the door and opened it to become face to face with another wolf. He was yellow with a blue chest and muzzle. He seemed over enthusiastic about seeing his new roommate.
"SWEET, I knew I would have another roommate soon! The wolf said loudly in a British accent and walked over to his bed and plopped down.
"Ummm, who are you?" Jake said. Maybe he can give some info on where he is at.
"Ahhh, sorry. The name is Volt. Are you a new guy here?" Volt asked curiously.
Jake realized that "Volt" was probably not the person's name. Maybe when he gets the man's trust he will give him his name. "How old are you by the way, I am 18." Jake said. Maybe if he got Volt more accompanied with him, he could earn his trust.
"Cool, I am 20." Volt said.
Jake nodded. "I am wondering where the hell I am."
Volt sighed. "I have been wondering since five days ago. The last thing I remember was I was walking home from Red Square in Moscow and then inside a cylinder with green liquid in it. Then I woke up in this room and realized I grew yellow and blue fur. I also realized I had longer than normal fingernails." Jake looked at Volt confused and asked, "Why were you in Moscow?"
"Oh, I took a vacation with my parents to Russia for the week. The people who captured me assured me that they would be informed fake information and I would not be killed if I complied. Oh by the way, what is your name?"
"Errrr...."
Jake did not trust Volt as much as Volt trusted him. If Jake asked Volt where he was before he came into the room, Volt would probably make something up.
"Eternal." Jake said quickly.
"That's a weird name. Oh and the boss wanted me to give you this."
Volt tossed something round and circular in Jake's general direction. It was his cell phone that he left in his pocket before he got kidnapped. They must have taken everything from him. Maybe he can get some answers....
The phone started to vibrate. Jake walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Volt was too busy with the TV to notice.
"Who is this?" Jake said.
"Your commander."
The words he said were not meant to be hostile but behind those words Jake sensed an evil presence.
Jake felt another question enter his mind. Why was he not putting a voice-over on the phone?
As if the man was reading his mind he answered, "And if you are wondering why I did not change my voice, it is because there is no way of you leaving. If you decide to escape, through that beautiful balcony in the back, you will have to move through the mountains. There is no food anywhere. The cold wind of the mountains will freeze you. Your chances of survival are slim. If you think about leaving from the front door, you will eventually be caught from the numerous guards patrolling the area. The punishments are severe. You do not want that to happen to you...do you?"
Jake did not answer with a yes or a no, instead he answered with another question.
"What are you planning to do to us?"
The commander pondered a little to find the right words.
"Have you ever heard of the Soviet Union?"
Jake paused. "Yes."
"Good, then let me explain. In 1991 our Union was split into 15 separate continents. We lived secretly and watched Russia turn into Communism and then become its own. Now we have starving children populating the streets and political unrest."
The commander paused.
"We started to build up armies, fanaticizing about the Soviet Union coming back into Russia and becoming even more powerful. We decided to form our own weapon. We kidnapped adults and teenagers everywhere, testing formula after formula with devastating results. Eventually, on August of 2011, we found a compound that kept the stability of the human brain while giving the patient a much strong body. Injection 102 we called it. Now we will call it Resolution.
Jake let every word in. He felt like he was about to fall apart. How can they be so cruel? They kidnapped anybody who set foot on their land as a mockery. Jake was still silent and kept listening.
"You've met your roommate Volt. He is an example of what injection 102 has done. Tomorrow in the morning you will train with weapons. You will realize that your stamina and strength have increased and you will put them to the test in our facilities. Armed guards will watch your every move so don't think about leaving. Also tomorrow we will go to Red Square in Moscow with the Resolution patients. We will demonstrate our power and might. Russia will fear us and hand over their government. The Soviet Union will be in control. I will save the rest of the mission for a later time..."
"WA-wait!" Jake said but with a click the commander was gone. Jake stood in the bathroom thinking about what he just heard, saying sentences over and over in his mind. Jake realized where Volt was at during the hours Jake was laying in his room. He was training. Jake walked out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed.
"How you feeling?" Volt asked.
"How do you think?" Jake snapped back.
Volt's ears on his head lowered.
"You might as well enjoy yourself because you will never get out of here." Volt said bluntly.
Jake nodded. Maybe he can find some answers. The alarm clock bared the red numbers of 10:30 P.M. Jake felt his eyes weigh down.
"I think I might go to bed." Jake told Volt but Jake looked over to see Volt already collapsed on his pillow sleeping.
"He must have had a rough training." Jake thought as he turned off all the lights.
Several questions flew through Jake's mind. Eventually he fell into a troubled sleep.
