Faked Deaths

Chapter 14

We were silent walking down the hallways searching for Liz. You could hear water dripping from the rusty pipes along the rusty halls. Our footsteps echoed through the prison. As well as whispers from prisoners possibly on the other side of the wall. Matt squeezing his knuckles till they turn white. Andre with warmth creeping around him from his power being in total control.

Me, feeling guilty, afraid, brave, strong, feeling every emotion I could. Something was burning inside of me, I think it was excitement, or fear but for once someone is depending on me and not the other way around.

We hear metal clanging together. "Lord," A familiar irritated voice yelled. "Take me now!" We follow the echoes of the metal clanging together and find Liz banging her head on the metals while her hands were locked up behind her back and chains on her feet.

A guard stood next to her outside of the metal cage with a few bandages on his face, knowing he had it coming. I instantly hit him in the head with the gun making him fall to the floor. I pick up the keys around his waist and open up the cell. Then jog quickly towards her opening her handcuffs on her arms and feet.

"It's about time, that guard starting getting on my last nerves." I chuckle knowing our Liz never even left her body. Andre picks up the guards gun and passes it to her. "Seriously? A gun."

"We can't let them know about our powers, because we aren't strong enough with them, can barely control them, and they'd take advantage." Andre explains for each of us. Even if I didn't have a power, I felt like I understood why it's hard to control your powers, I had to be in stealth mode most of my god forsaken life.

We ran down the hall quickly finding Isaiah with his back turned away from us in a cell. "Forgive me lord, for I have sinned." Isaiah weeps praying on the floor.

"Isaiah." Matt says. He yelps and flinches putting his hands up refusing to turn around.

"Look don't kill me, I'm sure Elizabeth will be better off dead, than me." He panics outing out Liz. We open the cell door Liz slaps the back of his head.

"Thanks a lot, pussy," She snaps simply walking out the cell door and back into the hallway.

"I was just joking" He lies as we all walk out. She rolls her eyes and continues walking trusting us to keep her cover. For a rusty and old and scary prison, I imagined more guards.

"Help" A woman shrieks. A baby wailing. "Red you don't have to do this." I could hear her sobs and jogged down the way. The cell door was already open and I stood behind Red Eagle with his back faced towards me as he pointed a gun at Gloria and her newborn child.

"Drop the gun," I say sternly as the others slowly appear behind me. He drops the gun on the floor. "Put your hands up," I say confident feeling like I have done this job forever. I motioned for Gloria and the baby and she ran pass with the baby's head on her shoulder. Yet, I still had my gun pointed to his face. I make everybody leave, this being personal.

"Aw, Sweetie--" Red Eagles voice rings in my ear.

"Don't call me that." I snap still holding his gun up, deciding whether I should shoot or not, just for revenge.

"You killing me, your going to have to live with that for the rest of your life." I smile as a tear rolls down my cheek. I nod. He quickly picks up the gun and I shoot hitting him between his eyes. He falls on his back and blood streaming out.

"Something tells me that's what I'll be doing and you won't." I say to his lifeless body as I turn around and walk out the cell. Maybe he's right, I with it for the rest of my life, but it would be something that I care less about.

I go face to face with everybody and nod. We follow Gloria since she knows the place and we finally get to something that looks like a hospital. "Where are we?" I ask. I hear shrieks of pain and zapping noises.

"This is the place where Katherine and Jhene are." Gloria explains as she cradles her baby. "I have to get him to safety," She says softly as she looked down at her son. I nod. I hear alarms sounding.

"Evacuate the premises, T minus 11 minutes till self destruct."

"Matt, Liz, Isaiah, Alex, get her to the Jet. Find some way to get there and if I'm not back in ten minutes get out." I grab his arm before he goes.

"I'm going with you," He opens his mouth to speak." And there's nothing you can say about it." Me and Andre start running towards the way people with scientists coats on, guards, random people running out from. Cassidy stands in a glass room.

"Cassidy, " I yell. She turns around and looks at me her eyes light up. I start hitting my gun to the wall making the glass break. I give her a hug. "Are you ok?" She nods and gives a small smile. "We'll find Kat, you find Liz," I say to Andre as he agrees and we start running. We find a room where a lot of whirling sounds come from. Machines making loud notices. I peek inside finding Katherine getting the life sucked out of her.

"Stop the machine, I'll go in," She nods running in the machinery room slapping random buttons as I step inside of a windy and energetic taking room. I walk over to Katherine as she's in the air. My pixie cut flying all over the place as the wind slows down so does it. Katherine's eyes change to gray, complete gray. "Katherine!" I yell trying to get the real one back.

The I remembered why she did this. She thought her father was a good guy, but it was him all along who killed Sophia, his own wife, the woman I thought was my mother, possibly even my father. She wanted revenge, and even as sweet as it taste. It doesn't feel so good when your life is on the line by your own father and flesh and blood using it just for that, then all of a sudden it doesn't taste to me anymore, it taste sour and painful.
