12 years.
That’s how long it took, they thought.
12 years.
Most of their peers in this god forsaken hell hole died because of their transformations, most never making it past the age 10. Those that didn’t, either the guards or one another killed. Usually it was a guard.
12 years.
That’s how long the government took to brain wash every single surviving mutated child. All besides Cindy, Laura and Brittny.
12 years.
That’s how long it took for their shitty excuse of a childhood to die. That’s how long it took for them to drop the three names they adopted to one another, to become one person, one name.
12 fucking years.
That’s how long it took for Cerberus to accept the roll of a monster. That’s how long it took for her to learn how to break iron with her six arms. That’s how long it took for her to learn to deflect bullets and tasers with her vast wings.
12 FUCKING YEARS.
That’s exactly how long it took for Cerberus to escape. That’s how long it took for her to kill that entire damnable facility and freeing the other 14 monsters like her. 12 years was how long it took to make 15 brainwashed mutant soldiers.
It only took 12 minutes for one to show that three heads are impossible to brain wash, and to slaughter the entire facility. It took 12 minutes for her to brutally kill all humans in the building, ending on the general running the entire operation. He was hung with his own intestines and was beaten to death like a bloody piñata with his own spine that was ripped from his back.
Cerberus had no regrets, especially once she saw the other monsters like her crying with joy as the were freed.
12 years... and now they were free. They were all free...
