Captured

Decha's P.O.V

I was shoved rudely through a door, landing on my face. Seconds later, both Ryker and Darren landed on top of me. I groaned and tilted my right shoulder. They both rolled off me and landed with a thud on the hard floor. We sat up and looked around.

Concrete floor and walls. Not the ceiling though. A small doorway with no door led into a small room with stainless steel sink and toilet. That was it. Apart from the door we were shoved through, which was now shut and locked, and an air vent very high up with metal bar locked across it. No windows. I tried to stand, but collapsed again. Cringing, I pulled the leg of my pants up to see a very large, very blue bruise spreading across my whole calf muscle. The result of Ryker's knee and Darren's elbow. I dragged myself up against the wall, sitting up. Just then, a boy probably 15, walked through the door. He had bright green eyes and dark hair, messy on purpose. He slid a tray of food to my feet and left, giving me a small, sympathetic smile. He looked so sad. Duh. No wonder. He's a slave. That would explain the drab clothing he was wearing. I picked up one of the three small slices of stale bread and a small plastic cup of murky looking water. It was hard to eat because of the handcuffs that were digging into my wrists.

Cassidy's P.O.V

I pulled the pocket knife out of the hidden pocket in my jacket. Carefully, I cut Keira's now very ripped skinny jeans away from her shredded knees. The door clicked open and someone stepped in. My heart sank as soon as I saw the food tray. I stupidly thought we were being released. I then stopped as I saw who was holding the tray. It was a girl, around 15, with long, dark hair and fair skin. But that wasn't what got my attention. Her eyes. One a deep purple colour, the other a very pale, icy blue. When she looked at me, they sent shivers down my spine. I was mesmerized and scared at the same time. She set the tray down, and turned to leave. As a last thought, she threw two rags soaked in something at us. She then smiled, looking towards Keira's knees, and left.

I realized what they were for and so did Keira. She leaned against the wall, squeezing her eyes shut tight and bitting the sleeve of her jacket so she didn't scream in pain at what was about to come. I leaned over and layed one on her left knee, the least shredded one. I hear a muffled scream from Keira and her face contorted in pain. She began breathing heavily and I cringed at the pain I had just caused her. As the worst of it subsided, her face relaxed. "Im sorry." I said, tying the cloth tight so the pressure would stop the blood. "No its OOOOOOO" She cried out as I put the second one on. Her head hit the wall behind her as she threw it back with force. Her body relaxed, she just knocked herself out. Im pretty sure it was by accident, because of the pain but at least she wont have to suffer anymore. I layed her down, my jacket as a pillow.

Ryker's P.O.V

I woke suddenly. I opened my eyes and sat bolt upright. The laser. With Darren and Decha's help, I went into the doorless bathroom and, with them blocking the camera's from seeing me, as if I were going to the toilet, I struggled with my jacket and took the laser out, cutting through the chains in between all of our handcuffs.

Keira's P.O.V

I opened my eyes, the harsh, flickering fluorescent lights burning them. I tried to sit up but the dull pain in the back of my head suddenly became a much worse throbbing ache. Next came the pain in my knees... none. Then it all came flooding back. It was so painful, but I knew it was for my own good. Suddenly the door flew open, the beautiful girl with the mismatched eyes. The slave. She slid the tray to us and looked towards the two slices of bread. I was confused until I tried to pick up a piece to eat. A note. I picked it up under my piece and, discretely, slipped it into my sleeve. "I need to go to the toilet." I told Cass and she nodded, moving over to block the door. I carefully opened the note and read: My brother and I are slaves here. We are going to help you. It will all happen at nightfall. I smiled and showed Cass. She grinned and motioned to me to flush the toilet. I did this and washed my hands to make it look like i actually had gone. I was excited. We weren't trapped after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours later...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They door suddeny flew open amd balls of wet toilet paper were thrown very acuratly at the cameras around the room. I looked up, startled, to see the girl again. She looked at me for a brief second and then motioned us over to the door. She spoke in a very hushed voice. "Hurry. We dont have much time before they realize what has happened. We have to leave and run. I know where we can hide. My brother will get your freinds out and we will meet up with them." There was even somthing chillimg about her voice. She grabbed my arm ad dragged me out of the room. Cass followed.

 

Darren's P.O.V

The door swung open and suddenly the slave boy threw balls of what I assumed to be wet toilet paper at the cameras. I didnt know what was going on. He motioned for us to follow him and he ran down the corridor. I looked breifly at the guys before taking off after him. We ran for what seemed like forever and suddenly we were out in the cold night air. It was refreshing. I could feel my legs start to become very heavy. I realised that Decha had been hurt earlier and turned to see him limping very fast behind us. I could now hear pounding feet coming from inside but they were defenatly coming towards us.

 

Cassidy's P.O.V

We broke out into the fresh air finally. Keira wasnt doing too well. I caught sight of Darren helping Decha. I smiled, now knowng he was safe. Probably not for long though. They would have figured we were gone by now. "Ryker!" I cried and instantly regreted it. Loud foot steps suddenly began towards us. I grabbed Keira around the waist and rushed her fowards. "Ryker. Shes hurt. Can you carry her?" I asked more quietly as we got nearer. He nodded and whisked Keira up to carry her bridal style. We began again, towards a dense forest.

 

Ryker's P.O.V

We made it partway down the driveway before Keira got heavy. I mean really heavy. The slave boy must have seen the pain in my face and, just as I stumbled, he grabbed her and took off at amazing speed. I shook my arms and saw the surprise on Keira's face before taking off again. We were now at the end of the driveway and almost safe. The salve boy, who was at the front, suddenly stopped. I couldn't see why until everyone else caught up and stopped, forming a line behind them. There was a very buff loking man with black clothing on standing infront of them. That wasnt what scared me though. In his hand he held a gun. And it was pointed right at Keira. I could see the boy's muscles tense. He tried to put Keira down and the man pulled the trigger. The boy moved incredibaly fast, dropping Keira and pushing her out of the way, diving after her. He was too slow and everything seemed to go in slow motion as the bullet whizzed through the air and sliced through the boy's shoulder. I saw him shudder in pain. All of a sudden, the slave girl rushed forward, landing a hard kick to the gunhandlers' throat. He flew back with surprising force. All the other guards rushed towards him and we took our cahnce to escape. We ran. I don't think I had ever run that fast before. Even Keira and Decha were travelling especially fast. The unbelievible bit is that the slave girl was now sprinting, faster than us with her brother draped over her shoulders.

 

Darren's P.O.V

Ok yea. I felt a bit stupid. I thought the girls were guards come to get us. I actually ran. But I am happy Cassy is back with me and shes safe. Thats all that matters. This was all going through my head as we ran. Actually she was a pretty fast runner. I was quite fit too but we had been full out sprinting down a deserted road for hour. I could see everyone, including myself, were very tired and badly wanted a rest. The only things that kept me going were the fact the guards would kill us, and the fact that the stupid girl was ahead of us all and she was carrying her brother, and didnt even look tired! I really disliked her. But she got my Cassy out safe.

Just as i was about ready to pass out, I saw the girl veer to the right, into the bush. I slowed to a stop and waited for Cassy, who was now jogging with Kiera and Decha. As they caught up I began to walk again, reaching for Cassy's small hand and entwining her slender fingers with mine. We walked like this for another hour until we came to a very dense area of bush. We pushed through this. I guessed the slave girl must have known where she was going. I then realized she wasnt a slave anymore and I should probably find out her name. Not that I care but her brother seemed like a nice enough guy.

We broke through into a small clearing. It was amazing. I heard gasps from the girls and a strangled "Whoa" from Ryker's undoubtablly dry throat. "This is where we used to live, before we were caught and enslaved a few months back," the girl started. "They still dont know this is here. My brother and I were being careless and ventured too close to the road . I'll tell you more about us when I have made my brother more comfortable," she said as she leaned him against a tree.

 

Kiera's P.O.V

I took in the small handmade cottage and the small fire pit. The two trees near the edge of the clearing that had what i guessed was a washing line strung between them. These two must be very handy with bits and pieces. I couldn't help but wonder where their parents were though. I suddenly noticed that blood had begun seeping out of my bandages and as I sat down against the tree beside the injured boy, I felt the pain come back. Just then, the girl came back out of the cottage with a load of things in her arms. "Hey, um I dont suppose you have anymore of that stuff?" I asked hopefully. "I never did thank you the first time but it helped alot." She just smiled, handing Cass a bottle and some clean rags, gesturing towards me. Cass untangled herself from Darren and moved toward me.

 

Decha's P.O.V

I watched intently as Cass carefully removed the blood soaked bandages from Keira's knees. I winced. It was a mess of blood and ripped skin but Cass said it was a major improvment. She then soaked the clean rags in the liquid from the bottle and applied them to Keira's knees. She winced briefly and then relaxed. "Much better than last time," Cass noted and Kiera added "Yea" followed by a weak laugh.

We directed our attention to the girl and her brother. As she inspected his shoulder, she began to talk. "My name is Evangaline and my brother's name is Earl," Old names. I thought to myself.

"This will be hard to explain so I should start from the very beginning." She continued, picking up a pair of tweezers. "My father was a scientist. A very experimental scientist." Evangaline said, sterilizing the tweezers and digging them into her brother's shoulder, who didnt even seem to feel it.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, my father injected her with something he had created. He called it Formular Earlentine I." She removed the tweezers, which were now very bloody and held the bullet. "Many things happened beacuse of that injection, but it was a while before anyone knew." She took the bottle from Cass and began to clean Earl's shoulder.

"When I was born, my father began to suspect his creation had worked, but he didnt have long to investgate as 2 and a half minutes later, a very unexpected and impossible baby boy was born." I couldn't believe where this was going but she seemed pretty serious. "My brother was not in any of the scans, which showed nothing but a healthy baby girl." All I could think was this girl is crazy. She picked up a needle and continued, Earl still feeling no pain.

"My parents soon noticed my weird eye colour, no doubt you have too but I dont care what you think," Ryker seemed infactuated by her. "I think they are amazing," he breathed but she took no notice and continued. "Weirder than that, they noticed our strange and superhuman talents; my accuracy, Earl's tolerence to any pain. We both also have superhuman strength and speed that developed later. At age 3, I was shooting water guns directly at the bullseye in the target and Earl broke his arm falling off a chair. He showed no signs of pain and just went on happily until mother noticed it looked funny."

I still couldn't believe what she was saying and I could tell others were thinking the same thing. She thread the needle and began to sew up the now clean wound. "My eyes are just a side affect. Anyway, my parents were found out and were told they were going for questioning but never came back. We assumed they were probably dead. We escaped and knew if someone found us we would be caught. We were 11 then. We are now 15. I know you probably dont believe this so ask any queistion you want and if you like we can give you proof."

A/N Sorry about the retartedness of this chapter I will make the next one better and we will hear from everyone else and things will start to make connections I just was sick of typing on this computer cause it has no spell cheak and im too lazy.... so yea :)
