Chapter One: The Abduction
Gabrielle was your average child living in Suburbia, U.S.A. At five, she was cute as a button with her and beautiful face that accentuated her Hispanic ethnicity. She was tall for her age but not in a bad way. She lived in a middle class in a middle class house on a middle class street that no one ever heard of. Life was good. Her loved her and she loved them and her brothers and too of which she was the youngest. But this really starts the day that all of that changed. She was playing in a nearby park one winter day as children often do when school is out for the weekend. Since the local crime rate was so low and her house was only a block away, her had let her go play on the swings by herself while her mother prepared dinner. She got to the park and proceeded to play for a few minutes or so. She soon noticed a black truck pull up next to the park. She had never seen it before but the windows were too dark to see inside. She continued to play without giving it a second thought. Inside the vehicle, three white in dark suits with white shirts and black ties and dark sunglasses were watching her. "That's her," said the in the front passenger seat, a heavily muscled in his late thirties with dark slicked back hair in a gangster style. Ash was his name. He looked at a small photograph of Gabrielle in his hand. "Yes, that's definitely her." He appeared to be the leader. The other two nodded in agreement. He turned toward the driver, "Well, what are you waiting for?" The driver, his name was Louis, rolled down his window and pulled a tranquilizer gun out of a holster underneath his coat. He looked around to see if anyone was watching and once he was sure that there was no one around, he took aim at the and fired. The dart hit her in the back, square between the shoulders. Before she could scream from the pain and shock, the tranquilizing agent rendered her unconscious. She fell forward of the swing, landing with a thud in the dirt. The third man, his name was Carl, was in the back seat. He humped out of the truck and retrieved the girl, returned to the vehicle at which point Louis floored it and the truck sped away. The whole abduction took less then twenty seconds. They drove to an abandoned milk factory in the main city's industrialized area, which the residents called The Orphanage. The truck disappeared inside an underground parking structure on the premises. Gabrielle was carried by Carl to a white, well lit room with a high ceiling (probably about twenty feet or more) and only one door, which was very heavy and made out of six inches of reinforced steel. There were only windows at the top of the room all around the perimeter of the ceiling. The glass was the one way kind so from inside the room they looked like mirrors. Inside the room there was no furniture except for a large sturdy bed with brown leather leg and arm restraints that looked like it was made for a psychiatric ward. Carl placed her on the bed, tied her down, left the room and locked the door. He joined Ash and Louis in a very well furnished office on the floor above. Ash was talking to a tall slender in a white lab coat that covered a dark expensive business suit who was sitting behind a large oak desk. "You have done well, Ash, and the money will be delivered to you at the usual place and time. Seventy five thousand was the agreed upon price was it not?" the asked. "Yes" said Ash," and I don't mind saying it was a piece of cake. Just let us know if you need any more test subjects, Doc." "I shall, but if her neurotransmitter count is as high as her pediatrician claims I shouldn't need any more" said Dr. Franklin Ezekiel Williams, head of Project: Chronus. "Well you know where to find us if things don't go as planned" replied Ash and the three of them headed out the door of the office. "Oh, one more thing," said Franklin, "the pediatrician, get rid of him permanently. Don't be gentle with him either. The idea of a doctor who will sell out a child for money just bothers me even if he was useful for awhile." "There's an extra five grand in it for you." "He'll be begging for death long before it finally comes. Thanks for the business, Doc" said Ash as he left with a spring in his step and a smile on his face. He didn't like that asshole Dr. Bud Thomas either. His outlook brightened as he visualized crushing his head into mush between his strong hands and hearing the impotent screams of his victim just before the brains would start coming out of his ears. Yes, he was going to have a good day. Back inside a laboratory within the confines of the factory, Franklin was studying tissue samples some of his people had just collected from Gabrielle. She was still under the effects of the tranquilizer so this was the perfect time to get this done. As he examined a glass slide with some of her spinal fluid on it under an electron microscope he thought to himself, "Dr. Bud is a bigger idiot than I realized. This has twice the neurotransmitter count that he claimed. Well so much the better." He rubbed his eyes and yawned. Better go home and sleep. Tomorrow they would begin to prepare her for the experiment.
Chapter Two: The Experiment
Slowly Gabrielle started to come around. At first she was very confused but that was quickly overcome with fear. What happened? Where was she? What was this place? How did she get here and where was her mommy? The restraints were tight and they hurt. She began to cry and kept it up for an hour or so though it felt like forever to her. Then she heard the sounds of the bolts being unlocked and the door slowly opened. A tall black man was there and he came toward her. "Hello child, my name is Dr. Williams. What is your name?" he asked softly with a smile on his face. "Gabrielle Vasquez," she replied while looking at him with tear stained eyes. "Where's my mommy, I want my mommy!" and she cried some more. "Your and daddy are gone, everyone you knew is gone. You live here now. We here are your new family, understand?" He picked her three foot, eleven inch, fifty nine-pound body up and carried her out of the room. "Where are you taking me?" she asked sheepishly. "To prep you for surgery " he replied. They entered what looked like a hospital operating room. Another in a lab coat walked over to them and injected something that was in a hypodermic needle into her arm. He was a middle aged balding white with brown hair. The tag on his coat read Dr. Emil Laskey. He took her from Williams and laid her on an operating table and strapped her down. Within thirty more seconds she was unconscious. Laskey proceeded to shave her scalp as an attractive nurse in her mid twenties entered the room. She had short fiery hair and was wearing O.R. scrubs that were so baggy that they hid most of her body's shape. She was short, about five ft. five in. She was holding a small plastic box with rounded edges in her hand. She put the box on an operating tray, a little too roughly than Dr. Williams liked because he cautioned her "Be careful with that tracking device, Ms. Sparza. It cost more money than you make in a year. "Yes Doctor," said the nurse, "you're scrubs and Dr Laskey's are laid out in the locker room." "Thank you, Claudia" said Laskey who had just finished shaving Gabrielle and was headed for the locker room with Williams. "So Frank, do you think it'll work this time?" "You know what they say Emil, nineteenth time is the charm" Williams joked "but seriously, if anyone has a chance of surviving the chronolisis treatment, she does." They changed, washed up and headed back to the operating room. The three of them spent the next four hours putting the tracking device inside her skull. After they had closed her up they gave her a special injection that was designed to speed up her healing process. "She should be as good as new in three weeks" Williams said "then we can begin the experiment." Gabrielle was kept sedated for the entire time she was healing. When she awoke finally her hair had grown back slightly and there was no trace of a scar. She lay there strapped to the bed until the door opened and a beautiful woman in a white nurse's outfit came in. She had a nice slender athletic build like a fitness competitor and nice perky that looked like they were just the right size for her body. "How are you, sweetie?" she asked. "Hungry" replied Gabrielle while looking at an IV needle in her arm. "Well we have just one more thing to do with you and then you can orally consume food again." She removed the IV from her arm and unstrapped her from the bed. "Come with me, little one," Claudia said. She took her hand and led her took a large room filled with many people. They were almost all-wearing white lab coats and were scurrying all over the place rapidly. Claudia removed Gabrielle's hospital smock and placed her naked in a chrome plated chamber, all the while assuring an increasingly fearful Gabrielle that it would be all right in a soft voice. Her wrists, ankles, waist and neck were held in place by painful metal clamps. The door to the chamber closed making it pitch black inside. Outside the chamber, Dr. Williams was barking orders to his staff. "Bring the reactor up to full power. Set temporal dilation coordinates. Do we have a green board?" "Yes sir," said an underling who was sitting at a control panel that looked like it belonged on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise. "Begin chronolisis now!" shouted Williams. The room filled with light as the chamber glowed brightly for a second and then dimmed like the flash of a bulb. A with lead lined gloves approached the chamber with a Geiger counter measuring if there was any radiation. The needle showed there wasn't any so he proceeded to open the chamber, which was now covered with ice, breaking off large chunks of ice as he did so. Inside, Gabrielle was covered from head to toe with what looked like gray soot. All of her hair was gone and she stood there propped up by the clamps, shivering and crying from the pain and the cold. Dr. Williams pressed a button, which unlocked her restraints at which point she collapsed to the floor and passed out. The with the gloves quickly proceeded to give her a quick examination, checking her vital signs, ET all. Once he was reasonably sure that she was in no danger of death anytime soon, he snapped his fingers and five huge in white coats came over. They placed her on a gurney, and wheeled her back to her room where they cleaned her up and attached her to some medical machines to monitor her vitals for the next few days. The with the gloves gave Dr. Williams a thumbs up signal at which point Williams turned to the rest of his staff and said, "ladies and gentlemen, the drinks are on me. This subject is the one to survive the chronolisis treatment. But before we head to the nearest bar, we have so see if it worked. You have your assignments so get to it." He turned to Claudia and said, "How long until she recovers fully?" "About seven days, sir", she replied. "Good, if there are no adverse effects she will begin training immediately after", stated Williams. "I have to go to D.C. to give my superiors a progress report. At least this time I will be bringing good news. Honestly, if this one didn't work there would be many on the committee who would want to cut my balls off and shove them down my throat, literally. You're in charge until I get back tomorrow since you're also head of security for this project." With that he collected all the data they had received on subject #PC19-1091, A.K.A Gabrielle Vasquez, and left. He was driven to the airport in his personal limousine, where he boarded his private jet that took him to the capital. Being the head of a multi-billion dollar project had its perks, after all. He was driven in another limousine to a large office building in the heart of downtown D.C. On the twenty-first floor he emerged from an elevator and proceeded to pass through several security checkpoints on his way to an office near the rear of the building. He entered a large conference in which were several middle aged to elderly in expensive business suits sitting at an immense polished oak table in the center of the room. Each man had a copy of the file on the project and it's latest test subject. Williams spoke, "Gentlemen, it's so good of you to assemble here on such short notice. I see that each of you has received a copy of the file I faxed to you from the plane. For those of you who are less informed about our current status I will summarize up to this point. Project: Chronus is the work to which I have devoted the last twenty years of my life. The goal in the beginning was simple. Create a physically superior human being by utilizing the theory that if you could halt the effect of entropy on a human for a time, even a short time, such a person would have a sub-atomic density which would render he/she far stronger and more resistant to injury than the average person." "The idea had two major flaws as we were to soon learn. The first had to do with the nature of entropy (Second Law of Thermodynamics) itself. Entropy is a universal constant so that means in order to stop its effects for any length of time on any bit of matter, that matter would have to leave this universe for the before mentioned length of time. This problem was solved by the creation of the chrono chamber which "shunts" matter into a separate temporal field momentarily. In layman's terms, the matter time travels a short distance into the future, say a millionth of a nanosecond. Any longer and the matter would be lost forever in another dimension. The second problem we discovered, after we had solved the first one obviously, was that on nerve tissue this process was such a jolt to the central nervous system that most of the neurotransmitters in the body would be ionized and the subject would end up brain dead. This was the result with our previous eighteen attempts. There simply weren't enough neurotransmitters in the cells to keep the brain working long enough for the body to produce new viable neurotransmitters. This problem was solved by the discovery of subject #PC19-1091 in whom we discovered twice the neurotransmitter count of anyone ever examined by us. She is currently alive and in stable condition at the factory. We estimate that only one in ten million people have this abnormally high neurotransmitter count. She lost considerable volume in the procedure. Before the procedure she was measured three ft., eleven in. tall and with a body weight of fifty-nine pounds. After the procedure she measures two ft., eleven and one half in. tall with the same body weight. Our computer projections estimate that she will continue to increase in density until maturity although she will not have an increase in size greater than what she would normally grow to naturally. Since we are in uncharted waters we don't know exactly how strong or durable she will be, but a rough estimate is that she will have the strength of several dozen and be resistant to virtually all small arms fire (weapons that can be held and fired by a user as opposed to weapons that are so heavy that they have to be mounted on the ground or a vehicle). Now I know what you're going to say. Why a female instead of a male and why such a one at that? Aren't we trying to create the perfect soldier/agent to use in situations that ordinary people couldn't hope to survive and missions they couldn't hope to accomplish? We considered this and decided that the danger was too great. A male would be at least twice as strong as her and therefore that much more difficult to control. Even a female should work adequately having undergone this treatment. Also we chose her so so as to program her mind with as little interference from her former life as possible. In closing I should say that our goals should be to push her to her limits both mental and physical. We should also work on a way to increase in ordinary people their neurotransmitter count through artificial means so that we can produce these subjects in greater quantity. Any questions?" The man in the center of the table, who was the assumed leader, rose and spoke. "No, you have explained the situation well enough for us. Thank you Dr. Williams." Williams headed back to the airport.
Chapter Three: The Training
Gabrielle awoke startled. She was feeling nauseous and sore all over. Worse than anything she had felt in her short life. Claudia was there sitting beside her on the bed, smiling. "How are you feeling child?"she asked. "Bad, very bad." Gabrielle replied. "I'm hungry. Please nice lady, can I have some food please?" and she started to cry. "Darling of course you can have some food." Claudia pressed a button on a radio hooked to her belt. Soon the door opened and in came the largest Gabrielle had ever seen carrying a tray of hot food. Roast beef with mashed potatoes and buttered rolls more than even a grown could eat at one sitting. Gabrielle ate with such ravenousness that Claudia thought she would eat the plates as well. Inside of five minutes she consumed it all and when she was done she still didn't feel completely full nor did she look it. Once she was done she turned to Claudia and thanked her. "How long have I been here?" she asked. " Four weeks" replied Claudia. "What's your name?" Gabrielle asked. "Claudia Sparza, but you may call me Claudia. I am your new nurse and teacher as well." "Where are my and my and my sister, Claudia?" "The house was robbed and the burglar burned it to the ground while everyone was still inside. They all died." Claudia lied. Gabrielle started to cry again. Claudia placed Gabrielle on her lap, hugged her and said " It's o.k. Gabrielle, you're in an orphanage now and I will take care of you and love you always." After about an hour or so of crying Gabrielle looked up at Claudia with tears in her eyes and said "What happened to me" taking notice that all her hair was gone. "We made you special Gabrielle. You're more special than anyone else in the world is now. You can do things that no one else can do and I am going to teach you everything you need to know to use your abilities to make yourself and the people that care about you happy". Over the next few months and years Claudia trained Gabrielle in basic academic activities (E.g. reading, writing, and math) at which she was very good. But where she really excelled was in her physical training. Both Claudia and Gabrielle never ceased to be amazed at Gabrielle's abilities. From the day she started when she was five, she had the strength of a world champion male heavyweight bodybuilder. She could bench 550 lb. twice in a row and could curl 300 lb. once. She also could leg press 1100 lb. for one rep. Her skin could not be pierced with any needle or other sharp object. She could walk away from a twelve-gauge shot gun blast fired at her heart from three feet away with as little pain or damage as an ant bite. Her hair grew back and was long and silky yet strong as steel. She was only taught rudimentary fighting skills due to her size. It was decided that they would wait a few years until she grew some more so she could learn the really cool fighting stuff. One day a couple of years later when Gabrielle was seven and had grown to about tree and a half feet tall and weighed an amazing one hundred and two pounds Claudia took her to the workout room, telling her that she had a surprise there. Inside was a large mean looking with tattoos on his arms, tied up, gagged and sitting in the corner. Claudia said,"This is the who killed your and burned down your home." Gabrielle was stunned. She had nearly forgotten about that over the past two years. She stood quietly thinking to herself for several minutes. She was wearing a tight black T-shirt and tight white denim shorts that showed off her solid, well defined, though not large, arms and legs. After all she was only seven. She had her silky raven hair done up in a ponytail since she had been expecting to work out. Claudia, who was wearing a pair a black spandex gym pants and a blue sports bra and unzipped gray sweater jacket that showed off her nice cleavage, walked over to the man, who was wearing a dirty white T-shirt and blue jeans, and whispered in his ear, "Listen fucker, do you see that little standing over there? Well the reason we got you off death row was to kill her or try to kill her at any rate. If you kill her you're a free man. If you lose, you die; either by her hand or mine. And if it is I who have to do it, I'm going to take you out to the back of this place, where we have a tree mulcher, and put you in feet first, do you understand?" The nodded yes quickly while trying to keep from wetting his pants. His name was Rico Stosinni, and he was on death row for brutally murdering a FBI informant and two agents for a local crime boss. He didn't have anything to do with Gabrielle's family, especially since they weren't really dead. It was all just a lie. What this really was was a test for Gabrielle. Something they could videotape and send along to the higher ups. Any way, Rico was about six ft. five in. tall and about two hundred and fifty pounds of Mafia muscle. He was a cold-blooded killer, and just because Gabrielle was a cute little girl, wouldn't stop him from killing her in the least. Claudia pulled out a silenced Glock nine millimeter and pointed it straight at his head with her left hand while she cut his ropes with a knife in her right. Once his hands were free she stepped back as he removed his gag and freed his legs. Walking back to Gabrielle and putting the gun down, Claudia told her "so what are you going to do? He wants to kill us both now." Slowly a fire started to burn deep in the pit of Gabrielle's mind, and the fire grew, and grew, and grew until she was totally pissed off. She wasn't afraid of him. She'd been sparring with guys his size for a couple of months by now and hadn't received so much as a bruise. "So he killed my and now he wants to kill us! Well He's gonna be the one who gets killed! I will protect my new home and my new no matter what!" She walked toward Rico and he approached her, sneering at the idea of a serious fight between himself and a seven-year-old girl, one-third his size. They stood facing each other. She only came up to his belly button and with out knowing any better this match up would look totally ridiculous. Rico was the first to speak, "I'm gonna tear you to pieces, to dumb little spic bitch and feed those pieces to my dog!" "Shut up, jerk! Before I'm done with you, you'll beg me for a quick death which you ain't gonna get" she replied, that last part from a she had seen somewhere. She knew she was at least four times stronger than him and immensely more durable so she reasoned that she could take her time. The laughed and swung his large right fist straight at her jaw in an effort to knock her head clean off with one punch. She made no move to dodge it but allowed it to land squarely on her jaw. Her head was forced back a centimeter or two while his fist glanced off like a bullet off an armored tank. Rico screamed as it felt like he was hitting a marble statue. It felt like he might have broken a knucklebone with that punch. He threw several mighty body blows to no avail. All he managed to do is bruise his fists. I t felt like he really was hitting a marble statue, one that was covered in a thin layer of velvety rubber. Hiss body blows only forced her about half a foot back and that was only because she wasn't trying to be the immovable object heard about in popular lore. "What the fuck?" was all he could mutter, trying to comprehend this. "Now it's my turn!" Gabrielle said as she pushed him to the ground real hard with one hand. He landed with a thud on his back and looked up at her as she was standing over him with a crazed look in her eyes. "Please," he said, "I was just kidding little girl." "I wasn't," she said as she grabbed his right hand and ripped his fingers off one by one, bone and all. He screamed in pain such, as he had never felt before as blood gushed from his now digitless right hand onto the floor. "You fucking bitch! Look what you did to me!" he screamed as he lay there writhing in agony. "You haven't seen anything yet, Mister!" she said as she grabbed his right arm, ignoring the blows he was giving her with his left, and slowly began to fold his arm in half the wrong way at the elbow. The blows ceased as he screamed to high heaven again, which was followed by a sickening snap as the bone broke and started to protrude through the skin. His body was rolling with the pain. "That's what you get when you speak so rudely to little girls," she shouted over his screams. The carpet was now thickly stained with blood from both his hand and his elbow wounds. She grabbed him around the neck in a grip of iron and pulled him up to her face. "You should save some screams for later cause I'm just getting warmed up," she spat in his face. Her shorts and were heavily stained with his blood already, as was her hair. She grabbed the front of his and yanked his two hundred and fifty-pound body into the air as if he only weighed twenty pounds. She held him there for a few seconds to demonstrate to him her strength and then tossed him over her shoulder ten ft. into a nearby wall. He hit the wall with such force that he dislocated his left shoulder. He slumped to the ground, dazed and in tremendous pain. She slowly walked toward him, taunting him as she came nearer, saying, "Did the great big bad killer get by the iddy, biddy little girl, huh?" He was sobbing and crying profusely, "Please, please, no more! No more I beg of you!" "No sale, buster!" she replied and she grabbed him by the crotch painfully with her left hand, as she began to lift him off the ground with his back braced against the wall. "My teacher Claudia says that what's down here is the main thing that makes men and women different," she said squeezing his groin area a little tighter, "so get ready to be a woman, you bad, bad man!" And with that she squeezed as tightly as she could. He went stiff as a board, as they both heard an audible splat that sounded like a water balloon popping inside his jeans. The pain was so great that he couldn't scream as he passed out from the pain and shock. His pants turned blood at the crotch and blood started pouring down his pant legs and pooling on the carpet. She tossed his unconscious form aside like a sack of potatoes and went to fetch some water to revive him. She came back with a bucket of ice water and threw it in his face. He started to come around slowly and when he saw her he gave out the most girlish scream of his life. Claudia, who was standing in the corner watching the whole episode, started to laugh to herself. Rico tried to push himself away from her as much as he could despite his arms being useless and the pain in his groin sending shock waves down his legs. Tears in his eyes, he begged her to kill him, realizing that he wouldn't be able to get away and even if he did he would rather die than spend the rest of his life as a crippled eunuch. "I told you that you would beg me to kill you, and I also told you that when you did I wouldn't be anywhere near done yet." She grabbed a one inch thick chain off a table and wrapped it around his body just under his armpits and threw the free end around a beam on the ceiling and pulled his body up with one arm until his knees where dangling just a couple of inches off the floor. He was now more at her height. "Now you're my punching bag," she said as she started peppering his mid section with viscous punches. Viscous it seemed to him, but she was really pulling her punches as much as she could. She wanted this to last, not be over in one or two punches, which it would be if she were using her full strength. She slowly began to break bones and rupture internal organs as she felt her fists travelling deeper into his gut. She broke both of his upper legs and then smashed his knees into oblivion. She shattered his pelvis with one punch and then proceeded to break his ribs and whatever was still intact in his arms. He had long before been crying and then screaming, which eventually turned into a small whimpering sound. After ten minutes of this, ninety percent of the bones in his body below the shoulders were broken, crushed, or pulverized with the exception of his spinal column. She didn't want him paralyzed and unable to feel the pain she was putting his body through. By this time he was barely conscious and, wishing to be rid of him, at last she punched him as hard as she could in the head. Her fist went through his face straight to the other side of his skull, shattering bone and mutilating brain tissue as it went. She removed her bloody hand and released the chain, letting his smashed corpse fall to the floor in a bloody heap. She noticed a peculiar feeling near her groin area that she had never felt before. She didn't know what it was but it felt pretty good. She decided to ask Claudia about it later. She turned toward a full-length wall mirror and was horrified by what she saw. There in the mirror she saw herself covered in blood from head to toe and looking like that strange in that Stephen King movie, Carrie. She began to panic, but as soon as that started to happen, the feeling between her legs came on strong and her whole body spasmed, causing her to loose consciousness and falling to the floor. She awoke in her room, newly bathed and naked. Claudia was sitting on the bed next to her, smiling down at her. "Claudia, what happened? I remember this great feeling between my legs that kept getting stronger and stronger until I woke up here. What was that?" Gabrielle asked. "It's what we call an orgasm and it's extremely unusual for someone so to experience it. Usually you don't begin to get those feeling until you're at least fourteen years old. It may have something to do with your abnormal nervous system but I don't know for sure." Claudia replied. "I want to know more about this," Gabrielle stated. "Get some rest and we'll discuss it in the morning, child," Claudia said as she left the room and turned out the light. Gabrielle stuck a pillow between her legs and drifted off to sleep thinking of that wonderful feeling.
