Release Me

Your POV

I'm not like the other kids. 

In fact, I don't even have a number on my wrist. I wouldn't let them put one on me. But they still owned me. 

I saw other children there, when they weren't looking. Once I tried to speak to this boy, name Dean but he quickly vanished afterwards. In the room. They locked him in there for three days. But he survived. We all did, for years. 

Papa treated me different to the other children. Though we all had powers, I had the most unpredictable talents of bending time. I wasn't a time turner, but I could shift time to an extent. And I could control living things, bring things back to life after they died, or the alternative...

If I could touch them, I could bring them back to life, a flower, a tree, an animal, I hadn't been able to save a person yet, but I would soon. 

Papa punished those who disobeyed them, he brought them to that room. But not me, I could easily turn back time and escape. 

So why didn't I before? Why didn't I find a way to escape the lab? Papa had her. They had my sister. I would see her, maybe once a month. Sometimes in the lab, behind glass, but if I was lucky, sometimes we could hold hands and play for a little while.

The lab used her against me, threatening to kill her, slowly, if I didn't comply. 

They were all monsters, and they tried to turn me into one. I'm still not sure they didn't succeed. 

One day, Papa came into my room and took me to some cages. I had hurt a cat before, killed it, because he told me my sister would suffer if I didn't do it. 

But now, they took me to a man. He looked like he was from the outside, a total stranger. And they told me to end his life. 

I tried, I really did. But I couldn't, not that I wouldn't, I couldn't! They brought her in, and they pointed to her as she looked at me. She was right there, and I couldn't help her. I was willing to kill the man, just to save her. 

I can't forget the look in his eyes when I failed. The look of disappointment in Papa's face. The fear in Bell's eyes when they injected poison into her. 

Papa released her as she stopped moving, panting, he told me solemnly

"Well two, we're going to try this another day. "

"No." He turned and looked at me in silence. 

"What did you say?"

"No!" I screamed. The fury burnt within me, I felt the grief that would consume me later, but not now. Now, I had to kill by any means necessary. They had killed her. My sister. But they had also destroyed all the leverage they had to trap me here. 

I scanned the room and found a pot plant in the corner, smiling, looking into Papa's eyes I made the plant grow and grow into malicious vines, wrapping around the scientists and choking them to death. Papa was in another room, I couldn't break in. 

So I ran. Making time move forward quickly so they wouldn't catch me. And I released myself, from that bad place.
