Outsiders

CHAPTER 18 - The Hybridz

The hybrids were taken to a huge palace seemingly nowhere and have been staying there for a few days. They were promised to be treated well as long as they follow commands and not go astray. However, that did not stop them from fighting among each other. "G-guys? Are you all ok?" Pom tries to break the silence in the room. The hybrids were given three rooms. One for the boys and the other for the girls while the third room can be used however they want. Doresal answers, "Oh yeah, everything is fine sweet Pom, you know aside from the fact that we are all PRISONERS!" Pom jumps back to Jem who was sitting right behind her, "I-i'm sorry!" Doresal starts going off at the whole situation.

"God damn these freaks, first they trap us in a lab then they treat us like this, do they really think I'm going to comply?!" Amliv answers her, "Well it's not like you have a choice with these things on our necks." She says in a very sarcastic tone. Doresal glares at Amliv, "Oh you wanna do this foxy?" Amliv glares back, "What the hell is your problem you spider bi-" but before she finishes Ronin cuts them off, "Girls, will you please shut the hell up?! You've done nothing but complain so far!"

Doresal yells sarcastically, "Oh I'm sorry Ronin, let's all hold hands and talk about how we all lost our lives!" Ike jumps into view, "Will you just stop? We are all suffering in here, it's not just you." Tyger agrees with Ike, "Exactly, you've been acting like you are the only one affected by all this whole mess, and anyways, we just need to capture the boy who holds that ancient artifact that Isidora told us about and when we get it, we'll be free... right?" Jem reminds him, "Don't forget about that bastard Mach, I swear I won't ever forgive him." Tyger looks at her, "Right..." Amliv agrees with Jem, "I don't care about that boy they want so badly anyway, all I want now is to just shoot that traitor's wings and pluck them out."

Doresal goes off again, "Oh yeah? And then what? All of you are just a bunch of idiots! Do you honestly think they will let us go? And even if they do will society ever accept us again? I mean look at us! A bunch of scientific experiments used solely for one purpose then they will probably just kill us off!" Pom tries to calm her down, "Don't say that! Maybe they will let us go..." Doresal looks down at her, "Oh poor naive Pom, I truly feel bad for you, you should just lay down and die if you are going to be dead weight!"

Ronin grabs her hand, "Just stop it already! That's enough!" She pulls her hand back, "Get away you freak!" Tyger and Ike think to themselves, aren't we all freaks though? Doresal spots Draco sitting quietly on a chair at the end of the room, "And what about you, perfect hybrid? You haven't even said a word since we got here! Did they take your brains out or what?" Draco looks at her and gazes right back to where he was looking. Doresal gets frustrated, "Hey don't ignore me you ass!" Doresal raises her hand as if to smack him, but Draco smacks her hand away using his tail. Doresal screams in pain and jumps back while Draco stands and looks down at her. "You complain way too much... appreciate what we have now, it's all that we have left..."

Ronin walks up to Doresal and picks her up "He's right you know, this is all we have now" Ike adds in "Plus this is way better than that mad scientist place." They all agree with Ike except for Doresal "You guys are just accepting this? That we are all JUST SLAVES? I am so done with all of you!" She runs back to the girl's room and slams the door shut.

Amliv sighs, "Good god she is gone, a little more, and I would've gone crazy." Pom, however, defends Doresal, "Don't say that, you have to get where she is coming from, we've all been kidnapped and now we have no idea where we even are. She must be so scared." Amliv grows a little frustrated. "Are you seriously defending-" She looks at Pom's sad expression and stops "I...can't be mad at you."

Jem flies over to Pom "Yeah, you are our little adorable squirrel." She says while hugging her head. Pom tries to push her away "H-hey don't call me a sq-" Suddenly, the front door creaks open and a figure of a mature woman walks by. The hybrids all line up and kneel to her except for Draco who is still sitting in the same corner of the room. The woman starts to speak, "Where is Pom the sugar glider?" She says as she reads from a sheet of paper. Pom raises her hand "I- I'm here lady Isadora." She says with fear in her voice. The lady who seems to be called Isadora starts speaking again, "Good, come with me squirrel."
