The Future: Specials

Prologue

Kendal's POV

Darkness.

Endless pain. It will never stop. I sit waiting for what was next. A week without eating, a chain to my back, or maybe an incision in my arms. That's what we got day after day. Was pain. We were punished for being different. For having something others didn't.

The door lock clicked. I looked up in that direction. Some one slid a plate under the opening of the door and locked it back. I didn't try asking who was there or what I was doing here, I had given up a long time ago.

I carefully made my way over to the plate. Pain shot through my body. My back was still healing from the last time I was "punished". I was numb to the pain now, all I ever thought about now was the girl.

A blonde,fair skinned girl was put in a cell next to me. The first time we were thrown in here her eyes were bright and full of hope. As the days go by that light slowly dies out, along with the fire that burned inside of her. I desperately wanted out of here, I wanted everyone out of here. We were treated like animals. This was inhumane.

I kept a close eye on her though. Her specifically. I learned her ability and how she used it. That's all I know about her, that's all I want to know. She has telekinesis and uses it for the good, but whether she was good or bad didn't mean anything. It meant nothing to the warden here. To them we were still monsters. Monsters that needed to be put away.

I finished my plate and slowly made my way back to the corner where I stayed. I did a lot of thinking there. I thought about my family and what they were doing, I thought about my dog, Jock. I also thought about where I would be in some years, but nothing compared to when I though about her. The girl next to me. She was my lifeline. When I thought about her I thought of nothing else. She gave me hope and maybe I gave her hope too. Maybe.

Lena's POV

Pain.

That's all I felt right now. Everyday I see people like me beaten and hurt because we're different. Why? It makes me so angry! I've been sitting in the same damned spot for three days! My hands are chained, I can't even feel my back and arms. I was numb.

I'm used to the pain. I seem to feel it everyday. Though some of us don't even blink when they whip us.

The guy next to me seems to feel nothing. At night I'll hear faint screams and cries of pain, but never from him. He seems to be numb too. Maybe he is. I've been studying him and paying close attention. He has an ability, but I just can't seem to figure it out. He must have one if he's in here.

I haven't seen my friends at all. It's been two months since I've seen them. I bet they feel just as I do. I miss them. More than anything. Hope was all I had. Hope and that mysterious guy were my lifeline. Would I live long enough to get out of here? Maybe.
