The 26

Prolouge

CHILD #1
NAME: unknown
GENDER: F
ABILITIES: electricity manipulation
HAIR COLOR: brown
EYE COLOR: brown
RACE: Caucasian
NOTES: I believe she is their leader. When we first brought them in they looked to her for what to do. All of the children have refused to speak to the other doctors, scientists, and agents here. I believe this girl may be the key but it's taking time to get through to her. She is uncooperative but, seemingly unafraid. Any question I ask her is ignored. She will not break eye contact with me, it feels as if she is sizing me up.

The woman looked up from her clipboard and gave me a reassuring smile. " It's okay, we're not going to hurt you here." She said kindly.

Her name tag read "Dr. Mabel Paddings"
She seems sincere about her words but, I new it was just another lie. I've heard that phrase all my life.

No. Of course you won't hurt me, the electrically charged ten year old you found in the snow after blowing up a secret military complex.

They only kept us because they felt bad about killing some kids. I bet they regret it now.
Now that they've realized what kind of monsters we are.

I'm not sure how long it has been since I've seen the others, I'm not even sure about where the others are. I only know that 26 of us made it.

26.

Out of about 250.

How could they not know their were children in the lab? This is why I hated adults; they're cruel and don't care about the well being of others. These adults will probably try to kill us as soon as they get what they want from us.
I shifted in my chair, preparing myself incase I needed to escape.

We were in a room with light green walls and a carpet floor. Boxes of toys lined the wall to my right, on the left wall was a giant two way mirror and a wooden door. Under the window was the only outlet in the room, this would be my escape route. One of the things that my ability allows me to do is turn myself into an electrical current, I could travel through the wiring in the walls and be outside of this place in no time.

But what about the other 25?

I could maybe take one or two with me but, any more than that and people would get hurt. But, if they wanted to escape they could have done it by now, I'm pretty sure at least two of them were Alphas. At the facility they had to keep those guys under heavy sedation so they didn't kill anybody.
They had the strongest powers out of all the other groups. So why weren't they using them? What were they waiting for?

We were sitting at a round table with little chairs surrounding it. In front of me was a piece of blank, white paper and a green and yellow box labeled "Crayons". I think she expected me to use them somehow. I'm not sure why.

I continued to watch Dr.Paddings instead. She was a thin, pale woman with light blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. Her watery blue eyes had prominent dark circles under them, as if she hadn't slept in days. That made two of us. She let out a sigh and rubbed her forehead.

"you know what I think? I think that your the boss of all these kids and that their not gonna talk until you do."

Me? The boss? This woman was joking, sure it was my power group that staged the breakout but, it wasn't all my idea. I'm not entirely sure anybody even wanted to be broken out in the first place and because of that, they all paid the ultimate price for the Beta group trying to "lead" them to freedom. I don't think I've even seen these kids other than maybe passing by another groups training session, let alone speak to them.
This lady had her facts wrong and she needed to know.
