The constant thwacking sound echoing down the sleeping quarter of the prison was going to give Dark Matter a migraine. The dark as night figure rolled over in his bed on the top bunk, slamming a pillow over the top of his head, growling loudly. That boy was at it again, wasn’t he? Dark flung his body back to the opposite side of the bed and closed his large white eyes shut, attempting to ignore the constant sound. Then a new sound entered his ears, and Dark Matter opened a single eye and sat up. He strained, trying to pick out the clutter of sounds coming down the hall. Boots. The guards were coming. Dark Matter flung his legs over the side of the bed at the familiar hissing of the doorway in the hall. Then came the sound of a loud thump. The guards must have thrown something in, but what? When Dark Matter heard the sound of a feminine voice calling out curses, it all became clear to him.
The dark creature dropped to the floor of the room and moved over to a pile of ragged clothes on the floor. He pulled the battered blue jeans and worn grey hooded jacket on slowly and methodically. Dark ruffled his black hair a bit before stepping outside the room and turning down the hall. He exited the room just in time to see a second person thrown into the living room, but this one wasn’t moving. The boy’s breathing told Dark he must be unconscious. As Dark strode into the living room, he stood out of his usual hunch to his full height of 5’7, not a very imposing sight without his wings outstretched. Dark ran a clawed finger across the wall as he walked over and took a seat on one of the chairs in the living space.”Who’s the new meat?” He said with a malicious grin, which served only to show his sharpened teeth. He wasn’t feeling any happiness, but Dark believed that faking sadism would allow him to expose the new comer of her fear, if she indeed felt any.
The monster doubted it, though. This girl looked like some kind of demon. Dark glanced up as one of the least sane of the bunch skipped into the room like she was in some kind of meadow. She was humming some horribly happy tune it made Dark Matter sick. He wanted to pull the girl’s tongue out, but she’d probably enjoy it. Dark’s eyes left Sam and towards the door, when Elizabeth walked in. Dark Matter felt his anger subside slightly at the sight of her. At least he could count on her to actually be aware of their surrounding, unlike so many of the other experiments.
