I shoot awake to the sound of metal and realize I'm in a padded room?! A headache rushes through me as my brain now pounds against my skull.

I try to move when I realize I'm in a straight jacket?!

I hear someone coming for the door and I immediately scramble back away from the door towards the wall as I sit myself in the corner as my body shakes in fear. I start to hyperventilate as the large metal door slides open as 2 older blond men enter.

They starts speaking Russian and I don't know what's happening when one of them turns to me

"Power?" He says in clearly broken English

I don't say anything in response.

"POWER" he shouts now and I flinch.

The other man then says something and the other man nods before walking back out of the room?!

He walks back in after a few seconds holding a metal electric baton?! Fuck that.

"Power" he says as he tazes the baton in warning.

"Earth" I say as he raises it to me. Couldn't they just see my marking?

The other man pulls out a note book and jots something down nodding.

"Good" he says before nodding and leaving out the door again, closing and locking it behind them.

I raise off the ground and walk to the door, staring out the tiny scratched window as I can see a room across from me.

"MINHO!" I shout out. "CHANGBIN!"

"They can't hear you" I hear from a female voice behind me. I spin around to the empty room. Am I going crazy?

"Hello?" I call out

"Hello" I hear a few seconds later from a strange unrecognizable broken English voice that sounds Indian.

"Who is this?!" I say walking across the room towards her voice when I see a vent at the top of the wall that must be leading into the next room.

"Iris" a soft sad voice says

"Where are they?" I say resting up against the wall closest to the vent

"They house the older people on the other side" she says and I slide down the wall to my knees.

"Violet must have found you?" Iris asks out

"Yeah" I say as regret deeply sets into me

"I'm sorry" she says and I nod as tears start streaming down my face. I'm going to die here. I start to hyperventilate as the panic starts to set in.

"I saw them bring a blond and a Red head across the hall with Violet" she says and I can't stop crying and I can't even wipe them away because

of this fucking straight jacket

"How many where there of you?" She asks me

"7" I say softly

"If that didn't do it nothing will" she says and I can hear the defeat in her voice.

"What are you?" I say looking up at the vent

" Light" she says after a few moments. One of the core elements?

"What is that?" I say crying

"Exactly when you think" she says and I nod. Wonderful. I try my powers for the sake of it but nothing happens.

I start to cry louder until I'm utterly sobbing as tears down onto my face.

I lay down onto the padded floor crying as I kick the wall. Why did I do this. Why would I think we could do this. Why couldn't I just be selfish and just care about myself and not put myself into this mess. Why did I have to be the good guy.

Suddenly a man opens my door and I scream as a man comes across the room as he grips my vest and pulls me to my feet dragging me out of theroom as I try to kick him crying.

I scream as he pulls me down the plain white metal hallway before pulling me out to a simple metal table with 2 metal seats on either side.

He pulls me down into the seat and I immediately try to stand but he back hands me across my face as I fall back down into the seat as he screams something in Russian.

Tears stream down my face when I see a young man my age walk out from a hallway opposite to the one I was brought from. He's wearing a black hoodie with no laces and grey sweats. His dark red hair is buzzed with a short trimmed beard. He looks disappointed as he comes and sits down across from me.

The guard then turns and grabs a tray of food off a rack and slaps it down infront of me.

The guard then stands back against the wall watching us.

"I need out of this thing" I say crying and the guy looks sad. He just

shakes his head looking down at the trey of food.

"They won't take it off til they trust you not to attack the guards" he says with an average American accent.Good thing I understand English.

"Who are you?" I say as he leans forward grabbing the spoon

"Saint" he says watching me.

" Your names Saint?" I say looking at him weird.

It's a nickname" he says scooping a portion of beans off the plate holding it out for me.

"I have to feed you" he says and I roll my eyes

"They will starve you if you protest" he says and I can feel tears form in my eyes again.

I lean forward and eat the food.

He goes to get me some meat but I shake my head no.

"I can't eat that" I say and he looks up at me.

"If you don't they will continue to serve you what you don't eat tell you do" he says and tears start streaming down my face again. Why am I so stupid. Why am I here. I'm going to die here, Hyunjin and Jisung can't even save us or they will end up here too. Please universe don't let them come for us.

"I'm allergic" I say lying. Obviously.

"To meat?" He says not buying it

"Yes" I say and he nods before looking at the guard and says something in Russian.

"Are you one of them?!" I say leaning back, scared.

"No" he says simply and the guard grabs my plate and throws the meat in the trash before slapping it back down on the table

"How do you know Russian?" I ask suspiciously.

"I have a lot of free time" he says looking up at me.

"What's your power?" I say watching him carefully

"Gravity" he says scooping some vegetables onto a fork before feeding it to me.
