The Future: Specials

Chapter 3

Mikell POV

" Mikell!" Tilar screamed kneeling next to me. I starred at the wound surprised that this just happened. I clasped the wound and threw my head back in pain.

" Give me your jacket, Tilar." Ordered Lena. " Are your parents home?" She asked me.

"No," I winced. " They went to some meeting downtown."

" Can we call an ambulance?" Tilar asked.

" You know as well as I do that no authority what-so-ever is going to help us. Especially if it means saving a Specials life." Lena said to her.

" Well, what can we do then?" Tilar jerked her arm out of the jacket.

The sudden motion made me flinch and sent a jolt of pain through my body.

" Okay, Mikell, I need you to listen to me,okay ." I nodded painfully at her. " I'm going to go in your house and get what I need. I'm gonna help you." I nodded again and Lena stood up and walked inside.

" Does it hurt badly?" Tilar asked me grabbing my hand.

" Yes. Very badly." I answered writhing in pain.

" Mikell trust me if I could trade places I- I so would." She stammered.

I closed my eyes as Tilar held my hand. " I know you would." Her voice kept my mind off of the pain.

" Promise me, Mikell, that you'll stay with us on this."

Before I could answer a truck, an eighteen wheeler, stopped in front of the house and two men stepped out. Both were wearing black suits and their faces were covered by masks that covered half of their face. They ran up here and one grabbed Tilar by her arms and tied her hands. She struggled against their grip,but in the end she lost and was gagged. I was next. The other guy grabbed me by my arms and turned me over forcefully to tie my hands. I attempted to fight back, but being injured and all made it a little hard to do so. The man gagged me and jerked me back around to face him. I gave him a glare and he looked away. My breathing increased and the gag muffled my shouts.

Lena soon came out and my eyes widened as she stepped out. As usual, she didn't listen and came out to us anyway. The main guy came up on her and put a cloth over her mouth and she was out.

The man who gagged me threw me in the large truck. I clenched my jaw and bit my tongue. It was dark and the air was dense. I made my way to the very back corner and sat up.

My eyes grew heavy and every breath was a struggle. I couldn't fall asleep or worse. My friends needed me, we were all we had in this messed up , twisted society.

" Tilar?" Lena called out. Tilar mumbled something.
" Tilar, I can't see. Where are you?" Tilar hit the side of the truck for Lena and I heard the shuffling of someone crawling. They talked for a while, words I couldn't hear.

Minutes later a light came on and I shielded my eyes from it.

" Do you still have the first aid supplies?" Tilar asked taking the phone while Lena searched her pockets.

" Yeah, it's in my pocket. Go check on them." Lena demanded and walked to me.

She kneeled by my side and threw the jacket I had next to her.

" They're breathing." Tilar crawled back to us and shined the light on me taking out my gag and untied my hands. " How are you gonna do this?" Tilar chewed on her bottom lip.

" I'll figure it out."

" Lena," I grabbed her hands. " You know what you're doing?" I breathed.

Just as I said that the truck came to a hault and Lena fell on her back.

" Tilar. Come help me. I need to hurry before they see us." Lena shines the light on me.

I couldn't see what she was doing, but I felt it. Pain. Excruciating pain.

My muscles tensed and I winced. I gave Lena props for trying, but those props were gone when I felt the pain.

" I can't do this." She dropped her hand and exasperated." I don't want to hurt him."

" Just get the thing out already, Lena." Tilar shouted.

" This is harder than it looks!" She shouted back.

" You can do it." I told her and closed my eyes preparing myself for what was to come next.

She sighed and began again. I felt nothing at first, thinking she wasn't doing anything at all. Then I felt it. I cried out and winced in pain. I knew Lena felt horrible for it, but this had to be done.

Seconds later the bullet levitated and Tilar and Lena sighed out of relief.

" You did it Lena." Tilar squeaked.

" I'm not done yet." She said pulling the spray out.

As she did the truck door slid up and light swept in. Two silloutes stood in the front of us, one holding the truck door open.

" Don't give us any trouble,okay." Said the man to the left. " We aren't gonna hurt you."

" That's what they all say." Lena scooted closer to me.

" We aren't here to hurt you. I promise."

" Can you help him?" Tilar asked.

" Yes we can, but we can't if you won't let us."

I could tell they had to think for a minute. I didn't know why they were debating on this. Just trust them and get me out of here.

" Okay." Tilar and Lena helped me to my feet. They struggled to help as I stumbled across the truck.

" You're probably wondering why you're here?" Said the first guy helping me down. " I am not allowed to tell you that."

" Some place." Lena said scanning her surroundings. I knew what she was doing. She was making note of everything she saw so she could report it . Though I don't know why she was, the authorities hate Specials.

" That's the point. No one will ever find this place and we won't ever be found out." The second guy informed.

" Yeah, find out you're flesh peddlers."

" Like I said before: you'll find out in time what you are doing here."

I was eager to know why they took us and why here? The place looked to be a thousand years old. The roof was caved and the outside was trashed. This place was a dump.

My thoughts destracted me from the pain . So I continued to study everyone around me.

" I bet."
