The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Two

I looked carefully at him, watching his facial expression all the little things that could give him away if he did lie. Nothing happened, I believe him.

I put my hand in the other girls and stepped our off the cage showing them this is what is happening. We were much help, the person who made these collars made sure they actually worked. How, I don't have a clue but now I knew never to get caught again. I should have used my power that day. I scoff at the memory and shake my head. I stop her small hand as I drag the guard into my cell taking his card and a little gun that he had on his side, my blue eyes make contact with the human.
"Get us out of here."

That is all I said before we all started running, to get out of this hell. Get to use our powers again. To feel the sun on our faces. We slow down when we hear talking, knowing that we couldn't fight. We could only fight with our powers. And I believe anybody who had their powers has them for a reason, we just need to figure out that reason.

I squeeze the girls hand to let her know I'm still here, I feel her grip tighten as she hears the footsteps. She's clearly scared that it's going to be a guard. Or maybe that certain guard. What he did to her.. She's a kid and he could hit her. He is only a pawn though, His orders were to do that. The male leading us pulled us into a room.
"We have to wait here." He whispered.

He was praticualy begging us, I looked around and carefully nodded in agreement. The young girl couldn't take anymore and I wanted to get this collar off, I didn't feel like myself. I wanted my powers and I bet the others wanted them too. Carefully, I walk around the room I walk lightly to stop my footsteps making noises for passing guards. My eyes take in everything in my sight, including the people with me. I hadn't really taken notice of them but we had to wait.

The man leading us, wasn't old but wasn't young. He seemed old enough to have created the faculty, so nobody worth keeping alive. He has the tattoo they give everyone in the faculty, branding him to them forever. He had brown hair but had grey streaks in and a scar down his face. He must have put up a fight when getting caught helping us.

The girl was young. Barley a teenager. She has short dyed hair, I can't work out what colour. She was covered in bruises, obviously from the chains and the beating the guard gave her every day. I frown at the thought that I hadn't been here sooner. To stop that. And she obviously had the collar around her throat. I kneel down and gain her eye contact.

"Everything's going to be okay," I look toward the other person, who looked exactly like this girl. "We will get our powers back and we are going to get out of here."

My eyes go back to the man helping us, he looks at the watch which is on his hand and tells us we have to wait s little more. I huff down and sit on the floor away from the windows just incase. I can't believe we escaped and we are still in the building, wouldn't it be easier to just leave. The girl has calmed down a lot more whilst the boy, I assume her brother hugs her. They seem relieved to be able to touch each other again. As would I, they look like they have been here for ages. Maybe, the man helping us got caught trying to help them. It could be why they trust him more than me.

The mother and child come through our door and embrace the man in a hug. They're his family. The little girl asked over to me, and with a wave of her hand my collar came flying off. She's one of us. I smile, it's clear why the man helped us. His daughter is one of us. She helped the others out of their collars too.

From head too toe I was covered in a sensation, it vibrated through me, I could feel my power rushing through my viens. After being suppressed for so long, I wanted to use them. My hands were literally itching in anticipation of being able to use them and get us all out of here.

The pain ran up my body, my hands were the only thing giving away that I was in pain. I could feel it moving up my arm, it formed at white line through my skin lighting up gaining their attention. It moved slowly and painfully up my arm and around my neck. I prepared my self for the next step. Taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes allowing it to enter. Two white viens went from my chin, one up the left side and the other up my right. I flinched a little as I felt my whole body access this part of my power. When I blinked once more, I know I had tapped into my power. I could feel the electricity through my body. I made my way to the light switch and put my hand on it. It felt like i was sucking the life out of something. I could feel the electricity running from the building into me, as I did this the lights around us begun flickering indicating them to my power. I managed to look out the window into the hall seeing that it was affecting the whole building. I smiled when the lightbulbs burst in a high pitch smash. Glass emerging around me, I turn to them my eyes and body still full off supremacy and say "Let's leave."
