Unwanted

Bonus Chapter - The Seraphim

"Your stepsister seems nice." El says to Max as she folds up a blanket for her to use again later.

"I guess so. I haven't really had a chance to get to know her yet. As soon as we picked her up from the bus station, Billy pretty much kicked me out of the house and took her off to some party." Max explains. "In the few minutes I spent with her, it's hard to believe she's Billy's sister, even though they look alike."

"Maybe that's the only thing they have in common. There is no way she can possibly be as bad as Billy." El tries to assure her, after all, Willow hasn't shown any signs that she is anything like her brother. At least not to them, not that she's had the chance.

As the two girls continue cleaning and setting up Max's sleeping area, there is a knock on the door. It opens without anyone touching it, a common occurrence in the home.

The two young teens look to the door. Max stares at the older girl that stands awkwardly in the doorway.

She is a pale thing. Her skin just barely has any more colour than snow. Her hair is long, straight, and raven black. Her lips are plump and naturally a dark pink. She is a pretty creature with almost angelic features, that is, until you look at her eyes. Her irises are huge, and so dark in colour, they could be classified as black. There is something just unearthly about her.

Like Eleven, Seraphina was raised in the lab. No one knows where she came from, or even what she is. She was found as an infant in the dead of winter, but she seemed perfectly fine. Papa had taken her in, wanting to test her, wondering how something so small and fragile could have possibly survived being out in the freezing elements and survive.

As she grew, so did her abilities. Much like the other experements, she could do amazing things. She could use telekenisis, read minds, bend reality, and of course, kill. She has a very special gift, though. Unlike the others, she can heal the gravely injured, regrow limbs and vital organs, and ressurect the dead. Because of this special gift, Papa gave her the name Seraphina, Code name 000. She was his little angel.

Sera did anything and everything Papa asked of her. When he wanted to test how strong her powers were, she would do as he asked. Maiming and killing each little animal and human that was put before her, only to then repair and ressurect it as if nothing ever happened. She was his prize. That was until the bigger tests were done on her.

When she was a little older, about ten years old or so, she became the real test subject. She was put through hell, having first her fingers and toes broken, being told to fix herself. Then it was her arms and legs, the bigger and harder bones. Each time she was hurt, she would let out an ear piercing scream that would make the ears and eyes of anyone in the room bleed. That's when the collar came out, but it didn't stop the sound, or the bleeding. New devices had to be made to mute her, a gag that was forced into her mouth, strapped around her face and head. No longer able to use her voice, she started gesturing to speak.

The tests only got worse from there. Soon, they started killing her to see how long it would take for her to come back to life. First, they would cut her to make her bleed out. Never happy, they started to electrocute her. Each time a little longer. Sometimes, until her skin would burn and smoke. Then they would put weights on her feet and drop her into the tank. Unable to beathe, her lungs would fill with water. Each time, they would leave her under longer and longer. Then they would disembowel her, letting her organs fall out on the floor at her feet.
