Chapter 3:

Subject: Re: "Dark Detour" Chapter 3 The exhausting journey and drugged sleep slipped away as time slowed down.  It felt as though all my fears were peeled away as I watched the door latch unlock.  I could feel my heart pund and the adrenaline hit my system.  The whole universe narrowed down to this moment.  Should I charge the door?  Lead a rovolt?  I wasn't going to be enslaved, I would rather die first!  I looked around at my companions.  Yes, they were poised on the balls of their feet too.

Subject: Re: "Dark Detour" Chapter 3 From behind me came a voice like a starting gun, "AEIEEEEAAAHHH".  The alien behind me took off like a bullet for the door.  He got only four feet before he crumpled to the ground whimpering.  I looked from him to the door expecting to see a gun, but realized he was grabbing the back of his neck, where the implant was.  Now we knew what the surgery was intended for, I had been only seconds from that fate myself.  ... and the door was still opening.

Only one of them even struggled against their captors but you could tell they were all frightened by the swirling colors in their multifaceted eyes
The door slammed shut and I turned to the room, facing all those imprisoned here
"Why don't we fight? Why does everyone just set here and let them drag us off to heaven knows where to do what ever they want with us"
