'Silver's POV'

I fly over the lowering glass, landing next to Julia.

Khaos is over quickly, he picks the locks on the chains

"Julia, please... Don't go..." I sit on my knees and hold her in my arms

"S-Silver... Thank you... For everything..." I brush her hair out of her face

"J-Julia, don't say that... You're going t-to live through this..."

"Silver, we both know that isn't true..." She touches my hand with her little, pale one

"I need you to promise me something..." She looks into my eyes with her one good eye

"Anything."

"I need you to promise me that you'll destroy them, that you'll go with the guys and destroy them..."

"I promise, Julia. We're going to destroy them. I promise..."

"Goodbye, Silver."

"Goodbye..." Her body slowly goes limp in my arms. I cry out, tears still relentlessly falling down my face.

Khaos slowly wraps his arms around me, he pets my hair as I continue to hug Julia's body, covering me in her blood

They killed her...

She killed her...

My head snaps toward the door when I hear it open. Vanessa and multiple white coats walk into the room

"See what happens when you don't listen to me, Silver? You get people killed." My body fills with hatred

"No! You did this! You killed her!!" I try to stand, but Khaos holds me back

"Let me go!" I scream, struggling against him

"No! Silver, your only going to get yourself hurt!"

"You should listen to him, Silver, he's a smart boy." Vanessa continues to taunt me

"You, shut up!" Khaos barks, glaring harshly at her

"You don't get to tell me what to do, mutant!" I can feel him get angry

"Khaos, please..." I whisper. He nods and let's me go.

I attack Vanessa with all my strength, Khaos attacks the other white coats

"This is for Julia! And for every other experiment you've ever created!" I scratch and claw at her. She tries to struggle, but I'm much stronger than she is

"Silver!" She screams as I sink my teeth into her upper arm. I feel an intense sharp pain in my side and fall off of her

The last thing I see before I pass out is Khaos running towards me.

I open my eyes slowly, not recognizing my surroundings. Once my eyes adjust to the dark surrounding, I notice three things: one, I've been changed out of my bloody clothes and into a tank top and baggy jogging pants. Two, this is not my cell, it's a new one, a bigger one. And three, there is a person pacing back and forth in the cell.

I call the name of the only person who could possibly be in here with me

"Khaos..?" My voice is dry and quiet

"Silver, you're awake!" He rushes over to me and kneels down beside the bed

"What happened..?" I ask

"What do you remember?"

"They k-killed Julia, then I attacked Vanessa... That's it..." I feel another tear fall from my probably red eyes

"Well, you were shot with a paralyzer dart, and they threw us in here..."

"I'm sorry, Khaos..." I pull my eyes from his gaze

"For what?"

"You lost all of your privileges because of me."

"It's okay, sooner or later I was going to have to start living like a real mutant."

I push the covers off of myself and sit on the edge of the bed

"How do you feel?" He asks, taking a seat beside me

"Awful..." I begin crying again. I hate crying, it makes me feel weak... But I can't help it, she's gone... Forever...

Khaos wraps his strong arms around me, pulling me into his chest. I turn and curl up on his lap.

"I miss her..." He pets down my hair

"I know you do..."

"Oh, come now Silver, I thought you were stronger than this..." I hear Vanessa's cocky voice

"Vanessa, leave us alone!" Khaos barks

"What did I tell you, Khaos? You don't get to give me orders."

"What do you want?" I try my best to keep my voice from shaking

"Nothing, I just came to see how you were doing... I can see your taking her death badly..." I lift my head to see her smirking at me. I stand up and make my way to her

"Of course I am, do you know why? It's because I have a heart, something you will never have." I'm to exhausted to yell at her, or else I would

"Silver, her death was your own fault, just like Dezmend's was... Do you know who else's death was your fault?" She asks

"Probably a bunch of other mutants." I mumble harshly

"Well, yes, but I was thinking more of your mother." My eyes widen

"How dare you!" I lunge at her, but she steps back and shoots her taser gun at me through the metal bars. The shock isn't enough to make me blackout, but it knocks me to the ground.

She kneels down to me.

"Yes, your mother's death was also your fault... It's a viscous cycle, and you cannot stop it."

More tears stream down my cheeks, I listen to her heels clacking against the ground as she walks away. The events of the past and the burden of the future weigh down on my shoulders.

Khaos slowly kneels beside me.

"Silver..." I wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly. I don't know why, but I do. He doesn't say anything else, he only picks me up bridal style and lays down on the metal bed, letting me cry on his chest.
