In the Blink of an eye

Chapter 13: Almost

Clarice's POV:
I wake up back in my "room" and feel groggy, "Good your awake.. I worried the tranquilizer put you down for good." I hear Reeva say. I try to sit up but fall back down with lightheadedness. I see there is some orange slices and a sprite, "Eat. The orange slices will help." Reeva says then leaves the room. I shakily reach over and grab a orange slice; I begin to eat it. I feel a bit better after eating the orange slices and drinking the sprite. Reeva then comes in again, "The heist is tomorrow.. your going to be in here the rest of the day. Rest and I will bring you lunch and dinner." She says. Reeva then pushes a button and I hear a beep. I reach my hand towards the origin and realize I have a collar on my neck, "It's just to discourage you from using your powers." She explains. I try to stand up but fall down, and realize I'm not in my 'room' at all. I'm in a cell that has a TV and bed, "No.. no... don't.." I say. Reeva leaves and shuts the fortified door, "Please.. no.." I beg. I get to the door and start to hit on it, "Let me out!" I yell. I start to cry and keep hitting the door, "Let me out! Please!" I yell. My knuckles start to bleed but I don't stop, and the door is suddenly opened. A few nurses come in, and grab me and put me on the bed; they restrain me onto the bed. The nurses leave and I start trying to get out of the restraints. I suddenly feel drowsy and quickly figure out the Frosts are doing something. I continue trying to get out but I start losing to Frosts. I give up and let the Frosts put me to sleep.

Max's POV:
They're doing the heist and I get some alone time with the elf. I'm sitting in the car with her and teasingly pointing the tranquilizer at her, "If your sleeping I get to do what I want with you." I tell her. The elf shields her self and closes her eyes, "I'm sure Proudstar wouldn't mind." I say. Suddenly the car is hit and the doors unlock, "What the-?" I start. Elf kicks me in the croch and gets out of the car. I grab my pistol and stumble out of the car in pain, "F******* Elf!" I yell. I shoot the Elf in the leg as she's running, "CLARICE!" I hear someone yell. I shoot the tranquilizer gun at her as well; landing a shot on her arm. I get over to where she is on the ground and see blood pooling around her leg. Elf is unconscious now, so I kick her in the side, "Stupid elf!" I yell. I grab the elf by her hair and drag her back to the car, "LET HER GO!" I hear a man yell. I see Proudstar charging at me so I shoot him in the leg but that doesn't slow him down. I jump out of the way, "I NEED HELP OUT HERE!" I yell. Tico comes and hits Proudstar with a shockwave, "We're leaving!" Heather yells. I grab the elf by the hair and drag her, "STUPID ELF TRIED TO RUN!" I yell. We get into the car and Reeva gets in, "MAX! Your not suppose to shoot her!" She yells. I angrily hit the elf in the head, "SHE KICKED ME IN THE CROCH!" I yell. Andy gets in the car and immediately gets a cloth and wraps it around her leg, "WHAT THE HECK?!" He asks. We start speeding towards HQ, and Andy applies pressure. We get to the HQ and medical staff take elf. Reeva calls us to the briefing room to update us.

Clarice's POV:
I wake up in a dark room and a sharp pain in my leg. I go to sit up but I'm restrained by my wrists, ankles, and torso. I have electrodes on my head and arms, as well as a IV inserted into my hand. I'm startled by Reeva and............... Roderick Campbell? Reeva claps her hands together, "Good your awake! Now.. we can begin." Campbell turns on machines, "You are a extraordinary specimen." I panic when he grabs a syringe. Reeva sits down, "When you were in the underground you kept opening a portal to where you felt safe.. your foster home. We want you to open a portal where you feel safest now.. the underground. But you won't do it willingly." I'm overwhelmed by a burning sensation throughout my entire body. I start writhing in pain and begin crying, "Have fun."
I hear Reeva tease. The burning stops and I continue crying while weakly trying to get out of my restraints, "Oh that's only the beginning." He says. Campbell presses a button and I feel like I'm being burnt from the inside. I scream out and watch his face contort with glee.

Lorna's POV:
I can't find where Clarice is and Esme is looking for her, "I found her!" She exclaims. I perk up, "She's in the building... but she's on some kind of table.. she's restrained and... oh my god." She says. My heart sinks, "What? What is it?" I ask. Esme hesitates, "Roderick Campbell.. is alive." I widen my eyes, "Wha-? How?" I stammer. Esme then winces, "She's in pain.. they're trying to get... to the underground." She pants out. Esme stops using her telepathy, "We need to tell John." I run out (with Dawn) and get to my car. I hear metal scraping and I turn around to a inside out car. Rebecca is trying to kill me, "I KNEW YOU WERE A TRAITOR!" She yells. Another car is twisted beside me, "COME OUT YOU COWARD!" I start multiple cars and drive them towards her. Rebecca barely gets out of the way; I start the rest of the cars in the parking lot and cause them to drive at her, away from her, past her, and towards the exits. I'm able to drive out of the parking lot unscathed.
