Earth Bound || Alex Summers

The Telepath

Lila sat up abruptly from the nap she was taking. Alex and her's sleep schedules were matched now after falling asleep talking. to one another and waking up to continue the conversation.

She felt something coming, felt vibrations that were foreign to her. Someone that hasn't stepped foot in this prison before.

They were coming to her. A guard was leading them.

Crawling over to the wall she patted it urgently, "Alex wake up." She hissed.

He groaned lowly and if she wasn't so distracted she'd have melted a little.

"Alex someone's coming," she whispered. Banging her fist against the wall she used her power to shift his bed- throwing him onto the ground.

"What the hell?!" he grunted tiredly.

Don't be alarmed, miss Lila.

Lila screamed as a voice spoke in her mind. Alex jolted up, scrambling to the wall and pounding his fist onto it.

"Lila!" he yelled. "Lila what's wrong?!"

She curled into herself as she darted her eyes around the surroundings. "I don't know yet," her voice trembled.

"Guards are coming... act-act normal," she whispered urgently and scrambled on top of her bed.

Alex did the same and clasped his hands together, resting his arms on his knees as he worried about the girl in the room besides him.

Suddenly the opening of each of their cells sounded.

Both looked up simultaneously.

"Alex..." she muttered.

"Yeah."

"Such promising young adults," a british man smiled widely as he clasped his hands together. There were two white men in front of them, the british one with slightly longer hair.

The taller man next to him hair was cropped and he had a straight face while observing the two young adults.

"You've been pardoned! We'll be taking you into our care now. No more of this... solitary madness."

Both of their brows furrowed, Alex stood to his fill height with his shoulders squared.

That voice, it was the one in her head just a minute ago. Abruptly, Lila stood as well. She was in her normal prison jumper as she took a small step forward.

The guard that led the two men here had left as instructed by Charles's mind control.

"I know this won't make much sense at first, but take it as an olive branch. My name is Charles and this is my friend Erik. Now, I can see you two have been dying to properly meet. Why not step out and we can get on?"

Charles and Erik stood back and Lila didn't hesitant in approaching. She pushed herself forward quickly and at the same moment Alex exited his cell.

Their eyes met and they both lost their breath.

He was like out of a magazine, she had been right, he could be a model. He had shorter blonde hair and fair skin, light eyes that she'd imagined. Somehow he felt bigger as he stood in front of her smaller frame.

For a moment it was like seeing a stranger.

"Lila," he breathed. And as she matched the voice to his face all of their conversation and moments together came back.

She smiled widely up at him.

Alex could hardly breathe. He knew he'd find her pretty, he just knew it. But for her to be absolutely stunning. She had light brown skin that was blemish free, beauty marks scattered over it with soft features and dark, enchanting eyes that gazed up at him.
