Blood in a Lab

Bloodstain was walking down the Graduation Hall.
I can’t believe it’s actually here, he thought
He knew his foresight always said he’d turn out all right, but it was still slightly surprising he survived all of his screaming professors, all of Constellation’s psychopath outbursts, all that MATH. But here he was, getting ready to walk up the graduation stage with the other graduates.
“You ready?” Mariana said to his left.
“Not in the slightest,” he responded. Blurry futures unfolded before him. Ones where he fell off the stage and got embarrassed, ones where Titanium pushed him off the stage just because of jealousy. Then there where the futures where everything went fine. That was what he was going to make happen.
“Uranium is going to be so jealous,” Mariana said.
Bloodstain only responded with a ‘hm’ as he straightened his graduate hat. Mariana had been his friend since second year. The two got along easily since Constellation kind of hated both of them at the time. Although he thought Constellation was the way she was because of her condition.
“I don’t know. He’s not the ‘center of attention kind of dragon’ he used to be,” Bloodstain said.
“Wow,” said Supernova, joining the conversation beside them, “You had an interesting way of looking at him back then.”
At first he thought Supernova was a SeaWing. Her beautiful, vibrant, SilkWing scales were hidden by the dark blue uniform. He wished Supernova was graduating with them. She volunteered to operate the stage lights so she could get a front row seat. He laughed.
“All right enough chatter,” Locust interrupted, “We’re about to go on.”
Many muddled futures unfolded before him; most of which included his career. His future career. The career he chooses.
I can be whatever I want. Well ok, not anything. Only what my biology major includes.
Bloodstain saw a sudden image of talons wrapping around his snout, then it was gone. That was concerning. Okay, he was going to take caution walking around alone the next few days
“What’s wrong?” Mariana asked, seeing his anxious expression.
“Just saw something. A vision. It’s probably nothing.”
3 days later
It was only 3 days after his graduation ceremony. Him, Locust, and Constellation were all under stress trying to figure out their career. 
Stupid law, he thought bitterly.
Their previous queen, Queen Starrise, had made the law stating that dragons had 3 weeks to prepare after graduation to choose a career. If you hadn’t by then, one would be chosen for you.
His HiveWing friend Locust had actually (quite frankly) become very plump from stress eating. Sure, they had a college major and that narrowed it down somewhat. But it was less choosing your field more making arrangements that stressed most dragons. Going into it he thought it would be easy, as did many others.
Bloodstain was walking back home from a meeting with Cobalt about this. Walking through the harsh, cold, whipping wind and rain. Usually he would fly, but no one dared in this weather. He didn’t even see anyone else. 
“AAARGH! Mariana warned me about going out in this weather! I should listen to him more.”
His blood-red scales reflected onto the rain around him and made it look like actual blood.
“Maybe I should hide under something until the storm passes. No, it will take to long. But it’s SO WET AND COLD. THREE MOONS! Hang on, act smart, not emotionally. Maybe if I-“
His thoughts were cut off when sudden lightning struck a water tower on his left side and dazzled him for a moment. When his sight adjusted, he saw it’s legs were wooden, and… ON FIRE! There was a creeeeak-crack! sound, but he didn’t react fast enough and it tipped over, crashing down on top of him. His scream was cut off by the crashing noise. 
Uhh, where am I?
As Bloodstain regained his consciousness, he realized what had just happened.
“Help!” he cried, but it was drowned out by another clash of thunder. He cried again, though knowing it wouldn’t help. No one would hear him in this storm.
Everything hurt. It felt like he was cut all over and he could see blood running down the water in the street. He guessed the wood had splintered and gone in all directions. The towers legs had hit him while the water tank had crashed through the roof of a building on the other side of the road.
I have to get up and keep going. No one is going to hear me.
He struggled to get up as he pushed splintered debris off of himself. He slipped and fell trying to walk forward, and unfortunately the street sloped down hill.
“Oh no no no!”
Bloodstain couldn’t get up as he slipped and slid down the hill before smacking hard into the bottom.
“Could this day get ANY MORE FANTASTIC!?” He roared in frustration, finally managing to get up and keep his balance.
Then futures hit him like a club. He saw flashes of what was about to happen, but wasn’t fast enough. Talons wrapped around his snout and pulled him to the ground. Whoever it was locked a clamp around his snout then put a bag around his head.
This is what I saw earlier, he realized with a jolt.
Jumping up and whirling around, his tail slammed into a dragon’s snout, he then leaped forward slashing his talons. They raked against a large chest that was cold to the touch. His attacker reeled back and roared in pain.
An IceWing? he guessed.
He was about to leap at him again when something whammed into the top of his head and he was out in an instant.
Chapter Two
Bloodstain slowly awoke. His head throbbed and his brain felt foggy. He slowly regained consciousness and sat up. He was in a white, brightly lit room. It looked like a big box. There didn’t seem to be any doors or windows. It was just a box.
”Hello?” He called out. There was no response.
Where am I? He thought to himself.
He tried to look ahead with his foresight, but it was all muddled. Probably from hitting his head. Wait, did he hit his head? What happened? Then everything came back. He remembered the fight with the IceWing (at least he thought it was an IceWing) and how he was knocked out. 
I guessed I was kidnapped. But why? What’s going on?
Wait. Were those… voices? Yes, he heard voices. Very mumbled, as if they were behind a wall.
”Hello?” He tried again. Still no answer. “I know someone is there. Show yourself.”
A hissing sound came from behind him. He whirled around and saw a NightWing standing where a door had opened up in the wall.
”Who are you? Why am I here? What’s going on?”
”You are at an EDR containment site. Come with me.”
”Um, I’d like to get some answers first. Who kidnapped me? Why am I at this ‘containment site?’ What is going on?”
”Those are exactly the kinds of things we are going to brief you on,” he replied, “Now, we don’t take kindly to disobedience. Come. With. Me.”
*Sigh*
”Fine, as long as I get some answers.”
