Chapter 5: Catrina's POV
There was alot of commotion going on outside of the doors. I sat up quickly. Christian was still sleeping and I didn’t want to wake him.
‘Maybe today will be the day…’ I thought hopefully. I knew it was in vain though. I tell myself that everyday for the past 3 weeks. We’ll never escape. Christian and my powers don’t work properly in this prison and probably won’t help either. The guards always stuff things into their ears so that they can’t listen to Christian’s influentation. I’m usually too weak from experiments to absorb them anyways.
The door swung open and a man came it. Quietly, he cuffed my hands and undid my chains. He put me on the cart and wheeled me towards the experimentation room. I struggled and squirmed to get out but it didn’t help. I looked behind to see Christian protesting loudly me. One of the guards hit him harshly with a stick and he dropped like a bag of bricks. I don’t know what happened but I just… lashed out. Instantly, I broke the chains and supersped to him. He had a pulse which was okay. Then, I grabbed the guard who hit him by the neck and held on tightly. He clawed at his neck, probably because he couldn’t breathe. I let him down just before he died and he passed out.
A bunch of guards came from around the corner and fired at will. I dodged them the bullets easily but one hit me in the middle of my arm. I winced a little but shook it off. Pain can wait for later, anyways. I ran at the guards and absorbed them. A minute later they were on the ground in agony. Just as soon as they wailed, they went limp. I knew they weren’t dead, I hadn’t absorbs that much energy, but they were just gonna be bland for a week, maybe two. Then the side effects came in and a bunch of thoughts rushed through my head.
‘Exterminate experiment 112232553 and 11223554 immediately.’ I thought darkly. My face went straight and showed no emotion of fear. I started walking towards the prison with Christian in it. Suddenly, the guard next to him got up and held Christian by the hair. He had a gun pointed towards him with the other hand.
“STOP!” A guard yelled. “Stop walking and get into the prison. Or the kid gets it.” I hesitated. I didn’t want Christian getting hurt at all, but we had to escape. I needed to think quickly or Christian will get his brains blown out. Then I had a idea.
“Do it.” I said with a bored tone. Christian gaped at me which almost made me laugh.
“Excuse me?” The guard said confused. “If you don’t think I’ll do it. I- I will!”
“Then do it. Or are you scared?” He hesitated. I laughed again. “That’s it! You ARE scared! You don’t wanna die, so you are shooting empty threats to a eight year old. You probably don’t even have the guts to do it anyway! You probably have a wife and kids too. You see your kids in his eyes, don’t you?” He turned away and his gun shaked a little. “Yes, you do. You can’t kill him. You’ll be messed up afterwards, too. You’re SCARED human. All humans have fear within them anyway. You don’t want to show it and you are trying not to, too. But I can see it in your eyes and your gun. You want to run away like the coward you are. Go.”
With that the man dropped Christian and ran down the hall with his tail in between his legs. Christian sat up with his big blue staring at me. I bent down took his hand and stood back up. With his hand in mine, we ran down the hall to search for an exit. Only to find a great deal of armed soldiers. Somebody came in from behind me and stuck something in my skin. Causing us to faint. The two words raced through my mind as Christian and I collapsed.
I. . . failed. . .
