I opened my eyes to a slowly being built back Commission, I sighed...anxiety feeling my body and lungs making it hard to breathe.
"You got this." I pump myself up before walking forward,
People all around me, looking from every way. I finally reach the inside and see the damaged insides. I make my way to the stairs and walk up them, they creak underneath me. Once I make it to the top I see the familiar path of my mom's hallway.
I get to her office and stop outside it, the door is closed but I can hear arguing inside.
"What do you mean you let her get away?!" My mom...The Handler screams at who I assume is Hazel and Cha Cha.
I get a way of confidence and storm in ready to use my powers if needed.
"They mean they let me go..duh." I scoff.
"Well well well." My mom walks closer to me, grabbing my arms tightly and pulling me into a hug. I wince at the pain but force myself to give in.
"Hi momma," I whisper out.
She laughs a little and pushes me back, still holding onto my arms. "What brings you back sweetpea?"
I feel bile form in my stomach as she acts all innocent.
"I knew where I belonged, it was her mom." I fake a smile.
She shook her head and smiled. "Good girl." She whispered. "Now..if only I could believe you."
I opened my mouth but couldn't get a word out before my body went dizzy and my eyes shut. I felt my body fall backward and someone caught me.
—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up, my brain hazy and my body feeling weak. I picked up my head slightly and looked around the room.
Machines were covering the room, it was dimly lit and beeping noises were the only sound in the room, sending my head overboard into a headache.
I try to move but my arms are tied to a chair and I feel pinching on my arm, IV.
"What the hell!" I scream. "Let me go!"
I thrash and scream as hard and loud as I can. I only stopped when I heard footsteps and humming.
"Shh sweet pea, you're going to mess up the IV drip." My mom...fuck it The fucking Handler came into my view holding charts.
"What the hell is happening?!" I spit out.
"Well...you see...you are currently failing a test." The handler clicked her tongue and shook her head.
"Test? What the fuck do you mean test?" I whine at the IV.
The handler moved herself so she was crouching in front of me. "My sweet darling daughter, I have set you up. I knew the mission I sent you on would fail, I knew you and Five would meet and you wouldn't kill him."
She then turned the pages into what I thought were charts and showed me pictures.
It was the same ones I saw before I got sent on this mission, the ones of Five all bloody and kneeling...but now I can see the whole picture, I am the one Five is kneeling above.
"What the fuck! How did you know all of this?!" I cry out.
"Call it a hunch..or call it a person on the inside that can see the future." She smiled widely.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I let out a few tears but then sniffled and shook my head. "Why?"
"Well isn't it obvious? I needed you to be the best, I needed to see what you were capable of..see in the person's vision." The Handler got up and walked around the room so she was behind me, she reached for my hair and started braiding it.
"You fell for Five Hargreaves, the bitch he is...but then you betrayed them within a second to save me...I guess the person got that part wrong. Or you changed the future. Who knows." The handler laughs and shrugs.
She then walks back to me and grabs onto my arm, yanking the IV out, and making me yell. "You disappointed me Sweetpea...and for that, you have to stay here for a while, I don't know how long, at least till I kill your pathetic boyfriend and his family."
And with that she walked out and shut me in the room, turning the lights off.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After what felt like hours of screaming, my throat hurt and my wrists hurt from yanking trying to get free. I tried to use my powers but my brain was so tired from the meds.
It was silent in the room before I heard a gunshot and screams, suddenly my body woke up, no more dizziness or weakness.
I have to get out of her, I can't let her kill me. I focus hard, I use all my brain powers and think hard.
Suddenly the rope around my wrist melted into ash and I became free. I rubbed my wrists which had marks on them undid my feet, and tiptoed to the door. I had no weapon as of right now so I had to be smart with this.
I slowly opened the door, bright lights blinding me and my headache coming back.
I opened my eyes again and let them adjust before looking around, a few dead bodies were scattered around the hallway and I held my breath as I walked further down.
A few twists and turns later, I ended up at a weapon armory, I sneak inside even though there isn't a single living person in sight. I grab a gun and load it full of bullets before leaving the room and walking up more stairs, just trying to find The Handler. I have to attempt to kill her...I have to.
I am walking in an empty hallway and then yelp when someone grabs onto my body, yanks me up, and puts a hand over my mouth.
I kick before I end up in a dark closet.
"Shut up Paisley. Shhh." A familiar voice fills my body and suddenly a familiar scent takes over.
"Five?!" I whisper.
"You fucking said I love you in a note?" He whispers and pins me to the closet wall.
