Dark And Light (Bwwm)

A year

Joy's POV

"Fuck you!" I hear Liberty scream as a guard tossed her into her cage aggressively.

"Just tell me when and where." The crusty, middle aged guard said as he licked his lips. Liberty scrunches her face into digust as did I, while he walks out the room telling us to sleep tight. I step down from my bed and I lean against yhe wall of my cage onto Liberty's.

"They did a number on you today." I say as I look at the bandage wrapped around her head with blood dripping from it.

She chuckles a bit while tearing a piece of her shirt off her and dabbing it on her forehead. "Yeah, today they wanted me to send everyone in the room a command, without speaking .Those damn 'mental exercises' ain't for the weak."

"We will get out of here. I promise we won't be stuck here getting tortured for Dr. Whittakers use. Just a little longer then we will leave." I say putting my hand up on the glass wall. She puts he hand up and I hear her sniffle as she nods her head slowly.

"I know Joy. I know."

"You can stop trying to give each other false hope. You both know you're not getting out of here." We both turn our heads to Ryan as we both roll our eyes and turn our heads again.

"Ryan just because you have no hope doesn't mean we have to." I say as I close my eyes on the glass.

"I don't need hope, I know my dad is going to get me out of here once I reached my true power."

Me and Liberty both, once again, sigh as we hear him talk about how he is going to get out of here. For some reason he thinks his father will let him out, but we haven't seen Dr. Whittakers face in literal months.

Months ago when the flashing, red lights blared is when Dr. Whittaker disappeared. From what I overheard from the whitecoats, someone from another facility escaped and they needed to put out a siren to all the other facilities just incase there was a rebellion. I remember I was being tortured when the lights went off.

Specifically what I remember, was how much pain I was in that day. They were putting me a pitch black room with others as they made me detect what genders they were, how many people were there, and what powers they had. I couldn't detect so many people at once and so everytime I got something wrong the doctors ordered them to use their powers and hurt me. Then they would bring in a whole new group of people and do the same thing. I'm pretty sure this 'exercise' went on for a whole day as they wouldn't let me go until I got everyone correct. I got burned, cut, stabbed, shot, and much worse.

The only reason I survived is because a couple months before, right around when I first got here, they made me have rapid healing skills.

After hours of torture I never got it correct, I was getting closer, but never correct. As this exercise went on there was one patient wo had strong powers that I could sense, but I had no clue what it was. I told the doctors a guess of what their powers could be, and shocker, I got it wrong. The patient was then demanded to use their powers on me.

And guess what? They had blood bending powers. Lucky me.

The patient obeyed as my blood was starting to boil and I felt myself being burned from the inside out. The blood was curling throughout my body as it leaked out through the holes on my face.

I couldn't handle the pain so I passed out. To tell the truth I was honestly hoping that would be the end of me. I loved the way it felt as I laid flat on the hard floor, even with the rotten smell of my blood. I breathed in slowly waiting till death would grab me and swallow me whole.

Suddenly I heard a faint ringing and a blast of white came in sight. I really thought the gates of Heaven were calling me until I felt a familiar presence. For a quick sec I believed the familiar presence was God, but I found something even more shocking.
