ELECTRIC LOVE; Sam Guthrie

<15>

"Tonight... I'd like to talk about responsibility.You have a responsibility to your treatment. I want all of you to go to your rooms right now. If you disobey, or if you try to leave this facility... I have a responsibility to stop you. No matter what it takes-

"REYES! Come out and face me coward!" Athena hissed smashing light bulb by light bulb as she watched towards the comms room. "You will have a slow and painful death you heartless c*nt!"

"Athena! Calm down darling please!" Sam followed her tensely, dodging the shattered glass spraying every where.

"REYES! Stupid f*cking b*tch!" Athena cursed kicking open a door to find no one. Sam was preparing to blast hopefully able to take Athena away from Reyes to calm her down.

"Sam! Sam! She's going to blow us to bits." Roberto caught up with the limping boy, his voice cracking ducking as another light smashed.

"Im trying Berto." Sam yelled stressed, Illyana scoffing as she moved past the boys her sword shimmering aggressively.

"Athena, you must calm down. We will kill her but you are going to kill us all." Illyana muttered calmly Athena's figure pausing to swivel around to the group.

"Calm down." Athena laughed loudly dragging her spear along the ground as she moved closer, "I am calm- Actually scratch that I will be calm, once I slice her limbs off one by one." Athena seethed through her teeth, Illyana twisting her arm menacingly.

"Calm down, or I'll make you." Illyana deadpanned, Athena's eyes widened, extending her arms.

"Make me then." Illyana ran at the girl ignoring the boy's shouts, Athena meeting her sword with her own.

Athena knew fighting each other was useless, but she didn't care. 17 years her parents had been tormenting her, and she thought she had finally killed them. They weren't dead, they never were. She was furious, more angry than she had been her entire life.

"Athena STOP!" Sam tried to break the two girls apart, Berto pulling him back. Rahne and Dani had now joined them, the girls unable to do anything to stop the two supernaturals.

Suddenly the two split apart there energy rebounding off each other sending them to opposite sides of the hall. Athena picked herself up, flicking her hair back her eyes still glowing viciously. Before she could charge again, her whole body tensed.

Attie.. Attie.. Athena!

"What the hell is that." Roberto shuddering the room growing cold, as a figure appeared looking directly at Athena.

"No. No. No." Athena mumbled her energy dissipated, as she shuffled back. "I killed you, you're not here." Athena whimpered, her voice small and child-like.

"That's right you killed me, didn't ya Attie."

The figure grew closer, the rest of the group freezing at the distorted figure. Illyana drew her sword ready to kill the figure, but a sudden gust of wind blew her back towards Berto, the boy catching her.

Sam begun moving slowly towards Athena and the figure, careful not to attract the attention of either of them. "It- It wasn't my fault Anthony, they did it- they- they killed you." Athena spoke shakily, straightening her posture, trying to summon some current back.

She knew she couldn't. Nothing in her life scared her more than her brother's death. Nothing.

Suddenly the lights switched off, the group panicking. Athena screamed, Illyana's sword lighting up the room. The group struggled to make out the scene in front of them. Athena shakily gripping her spear in front of the flickering figure.
