Jason
Tyler is gone again. They took him while Jason was asleep. Jason has no idea how Maxwell is getting the lead into their blood. The experiments are getting worse, Maxwell has started cutting Jasons chest open and studying his organs while he watched.
The pleasure in Maxwells eyes as he watched from the corner still haunts Jason. Before Maxwell was just a nuisance Jason wanted to deal with. But recently he has learned to fear his insane birth father. Jason hates being alone, besides the constant worrying about what they must be doing to Tyler he hates being left alone to realise how real his reality is. He has no idea where he is or even how long his been here and it's enough to make him cry.
"Don't worry, you're friends okay." A small voice says in Jasons head.
He looks around expecting someone to appear from the shadows. But he's alone, the voice came from inside his head.
"Hello?" Jason says.
"Shhh...not out loud or they'll hear you. There's a camera in the corner." The voice says.
Jason looks at the corner and finds a small black dot, a blemish on the otherwise pure white wall.
"Think it, don't say it." The voice instructs.
Jason nods and plays along.
"Are you real or am I losing my mind?" He asks.
The sound of soft laughter echos in Jasons head and for a second he catches a glimse of an Asian girl with long hair and he remembers where his seen her before.
"You're the girl from my vision." He says.
The girl laughs again.
"Hi, my names May." May says.
"Are you special like me?" He asks.
"I don't know, how many people do you know who can talk to you with their mind." May jokes.
"Fair enough." Jason says. "Do you know where you are?"
"The cell block." She says.
"So we're in a prison?" Jason asks.
"Nobody really knows,that's just what we call it." May answers
"There's other's here?" He asks.
"245, well 47 now that the two of you are here." May says.
Jason shakes his head.
"Where did Maxwell find all of you?" He asks.
"Maxwell??" May asks.
"Big, ugly scaty guy with a gash on his head." Jason says.
"Oh you mean the warden." May says.
"He runs this place." Jason says more to himself in his own head.
"Yeah. Most of us grew up here, the others more or less got themselves caught." May says.
"What do you mean?"
"They found out they had powers and decided to try and be famous. So they made YouTube and Tik Tok videos. The wardens men tracked them down and made them believe that they were going to help them. Next thing they knew they were locked up here." May explains.
Jasons mind is a storm of thoughts. But there's one thing he wants to know more than anything else.
"My friend you said he's okay, do you know where he is?" He asks.
"Yeah, I can see him now. He's alseep but okay. He keeps muttering your name in his sleep thought." May says.
Jaso is so relieved he almost misses the important part of Mays sentence.
"You can see him?" He asks. "How?"
"Like this." May says.
She appears from thin air like Jason was expecting and smiles at him. She's beautiful with soft features and mischievous eyes.
"Woah." Jason says.
May disappears.
"Sorry, lately I'm too weak to keep that up for long." She says.
"It's okay. I think you and I are going to be friends May." Jason says.
"I'm just glad you're here." She responds.
"Why?" Jason asks.
"It's nice to have Someone like me here." She says.
"My friends special too." Jason tells her.
"Not like we are. I can speak to him and see what his doing but unlike you he can't talk back." May says.
Jason looks around at his isolated cell and sighs already forgetting how lonely he was.
"My names Jason by the way." Jason says.
