Catalyst [Unedited, rough]

Chapter 14

I was about ten minutes down the road when Kyle was back and by my side.

"How is this gonna go?" I asked again.

"I don't know," Kyle said.

I rolled my eyes and tapped into his brain.

Maybe I could call up some buddies, get her surrounded. That way she couldn't escape. I really don't understand how that drug didn't work. The amount I gave her was enough to knock me out for three days. And that's saying something.

I inwardly smirked. This was too amusing. I don't know why, but I had this sudden urge to rile him up.

"Hey Kyle," I sang.

"Hey what?" He asked.

"Do you even know where we are?" I knew, living here for five years can do that.

He looked around him, "of course I do."

He was lying I could tell. "Well I'm totally lost to be honest with you. I have no idea where we are, I just wanted to walk, yunno. I was so bored and sad just sitting there waiting for something to happen."

I found myself having a double reasoning to my words. Because that is how I felt when I was back at Rose Clan.

He must have noticed it too. "You were sad, why?"

"That's not important. The important part was that I got out. And was not coming back." I said. "I felt trapped back then. Like I was incapable of doing anything. Like I was some pawn in a game, without a mind of my own. Always told what to do."

Kyle nodded to himself, looking like he was agreeing with me. Then his eyes widened and he shook his head in disagreement. "That's not true. You were treated like a princess. Had anything you could have asked for."

"I really didn't." I told him. "And even if I did, what the Rose Clan does is wrong. They take away people's powers, only to make there's stronger. Then convince the victims what just happened was okay."

"But the victims always did something wrong to earn that punishment." Kyle said.

"Not all the time," I mumbled, remembering how my best friend had her powers taken from her because she attempted to escape, then she was banished to the human world anyways, because of her loss of power. Her memory was wiped and replaced with one of the average person.

"Well, I'm getting tired of this. Where are we going anyways?" Kyle asked, ignoring my comment. That's what they all do. They think what their leaders are doing is right and they don't question it. This is why I hate the clans, this is why I will not be part of one, and this is why we have over three fourths of the Woo-Woos and will not give them up.

"I don't know." I answered, shrugging my shoulders.
