Where Am I?

It's so cold.

Did someone take my blanket?

"Mom, it's cold" I whisper

"Excuse me?" A man's voice says. That's not my mom!

My eyes snap open to see a room that's grey with blinding white lights above me. I'm flat on my back on an uncomfortable bed that feels more like a tray.

I momentarily feel terrified, not remembering where I am.

I run a quick recap of the last couple of hours (At least, it felt like a couple of hours...).

I was in the woods walking with Louis.

Then I told him about his power.

Then I was crying (for what, I don't remember).

Then I was attacked. I screamed and blacked out...

"Where am I?" I ask no one in particular.

"Your with us. We've decided to remove those who's powers are not typical, for their mindsets are harder to calculate. Especially you, Miss Delacour." The man's voice says again.

I turn my head to see two cold, dark eyes staring at me from across the room.

"As you probably know, no one has ever seen someone of your abilities." He says.

I stay silent.

"Your friend is very rare also."

That reminds me. Where's Louis?

"Where is he?" I ask

"He's already being put to death. He has about... twenty minutes."

The man leaves.

I get off of the tray, trying to find the door.

I have to get out of here! I have to find him!

I sit on the floor and start screaming in frustration. It quickly turns to laughter. Insane laughter. Hysteria.

No, stop Nicky, you have to stay calm. There has to be a door, every room has a door.

I suddenly have a very good idea.

I walk over to the tray. It's made of metal and I can see my reflection. Or more importantly, my eyes.

They are orange. Just the color I want.

I've never tried to read someone's mind without looking at the before, never mind putting a thought in there, but I have to try.

I concentrate. Luckily, there's a man outside my room.

He knows where Louis is.
