This scene involves torture.

Klyde had no idea where he was. The last thing he remembered he was having a shake at Haylo’s and then everything went blank. He tried to move, but he couldn’t. He looked down and saw he was strapped to a chair. He struggled to get out and looked up, he was in cage in a dark room. Probably a basement, he thought to himself.

He tried to call for help, but it came out muffled. “MmMmm!?” He had been gagged. Felt like one of those disgusting old towels. He jerked his head a little trying to make it loosen so it would come off. “MmMMM!” He tried again.

He heard a faint moan and turned his head to the side, to see a bunch of other cages. The moan had come from the one with a huge light shining down on a curled up whimpering figure, who Klyde immeadiately recognized. “Mmm!” He said as the gag finally gave him some room to yell. “TEKKY!”

Tekky looked up at him, looking really scared and tired with his eyes super red. “K-Klyde… N-no… Why are you here?” He buried his face in hoodie. “B-Burns… So much.”

Klyde jerked in his seat. “TEKKY! Hold on man. I am gonna get you out of here.”

Suddenly, he felt a shock come from his chair and go up his body, and it hurt really bad. He screamed. “You’re not going anywhere.”

Tekky winced as he looked up. “Stop! Don’t hurt him!” He winced as the light burned him more.

Klyde looked at his captors. “Who are you? Why are you doing this?” The two shadowy figures came into the light and Klyde immeadiately recognized them. “You… You’re the new kid’s parents… what was his name? Keiran.”

They  just watched him, just messed with the controls on his cage and he got shocked again and he screamed writhing in pain. “Fascinating. His resistance to the shocks just keeps getting stronger. You’d think he was actually normal.”

Klyde panted as the shocks stopped. “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?! I am normal!”

Keiran’s mom looked up at him. “You can lie all you want. Our equipment says you’re just like everyone else in this town”

Klyde struggled even more. “Equipment?!” His eyes widened, “You’re monster hunters.”

Keiran’s dad nodded, “Yes. And we seem to have caught a big one with you.”

Klyde laughed, “Hah! You’re equipment is wrong! I am not even from this town. I am adopted. I am not a monster!”

Keiran’s dad gave him another shock. “Liar.”

Klyde screamed and writhed, “I’m not lying! I swear!” He started to cry. “Please let me go!”

Keiran ran into the room and turned off the machine that controlled the cages. “What are you doing?!” The light in Tekky’s cage blew out.

Keiran’s parents gave him blank looks. “We are running tests, Keiran. Go back upstairs now.”

Keiran looked in Tekky’s cage as he lay there weakly even though the light was off now, then over at Klyde. “This isn’t testing, it’s torture! You promised you wouldn’t hurt anyone. Klyde’s not even a monster! I checked!”

His dad growled, “These are not your friends, they are hideous bloodthirsty creatures who kill for fun. They don’t care who they hurt.”

Keiran frowned, “Really? Because that sounds a lot like you right now.” He turned and ran back up the stairs.

His mom turned to Klyde. “We’ll show him.” She upped the juice in the shock and turned it on shocking Klyde again this time not shutting it off.

Klyde howled in pain his eyes shut. Suddenly his howl got louder and his eyes shot open, now a dark, hungry forest green and his body started to get bigger.”

Tekky raised his head and whispered. “Oh, Klyde…”
