The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Twenty

The green eyed beauty was really fighting the manipulation, he was hunching over like a weird feeling was flowing up his body. I knew the feeling which he had as I had been through this myself. His brother kept rubbing his back trying to encourage him to fight through this pain, I could not move to try and help I just stayed where i was watching the brothers. If I was to intrude it may defeat what his brother had spent so long trying to get, his brother. I could not jeopardise that just to help. I felt my lips twitch into a smile as i watched the male escaping the manipulation hug his brother. I felt my heart twitch at the thought, as I had not seen a male enjoy being hugged. Although, he seemed to want his brothers embrace. Although, when his eyes met mine he pushed his brother away and his eyes narrowed at me. I did not move, i kept his gaze not wanting to break eye contact. It would be taken as a sign of weakness and I could not allow them both to think i was.

His brother jumped between us holding his hand out to stop his brother moving, "She isn't what he said when we were working for him. She... I don't know yet man, she just is not what he said she was."

My heart started thumping. What had he told them? What did they think i had done? His gaze was deathly, like he wanted to kill me and this was without the monsters manipulation. I looked between them both and shuffled back on the bed finally able to feel more comfortable. They were both free and could go. I had saved two for you Leo. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I thought of Leo. How he had died. Before i knew it the pillow was wet. I sat up slightly and with the sleeves of my shirt i wiped my eyes and face, i looked at them both seeing that both of their gazes had softened.

"Sorry," I muttered. "I just thought of my friend.." Some time passed in silence before i got the courage to speak again. "What are your names anyway?"

The one who had broke the manipulation first was going to tell me his name. I took a double take on them trying to get the difference between them. He was not as tall as his brother but they both had strikingly green eyes and brown hair. His lips were a little smaller than his brothers as he had a small freckle under his left eye, i smiled knowing that's how I could tell them apart. I looked back up to make eye contact realising i was staring at his face. I looked eagerly at his waiting for his name.

"My name is Dylan." He smiled at me whilst his brother hit his arm. In kind of a defensive way like he was not supposed to tell me his name. I pouted a little, why was he treating me like this. I felt awful that because of the monster he viewed me in this way. Dylan seems to have opened up to me a lot like he was happy to have me around and he did not believe the lies or whatever the monster told them when he was manipulating them. Where as, his brother did believe him. I unconsciously wrapped my arms around myself, I hated feeling like I was being judged and I hated feeling this way. I wanted people who were like me to trust me and not feel like I would hurt them. But in this day and age with The Faculty hunting us, I guess it was every body for themselves. Dylan sighs at his brother and shakes his head a little showing how disappointed he is with him. I smiled at the kind gesture and waited for them to tell me his brothers name but nothing came. It was something i'd have to live with for awhile.

"So Dylan and Dylan's brother," I began. "I think we should get out of here before he comes back and we don't have to use any of our powers because you two have key cards."

I felt so relieved that they did. I hated using my electricity power, i just hated it and knowing that i would not have too because they had cards for us to exit. Dylan smiled brightly at the idea and forces his brother to start moving out of the door. I quietly followed them allowing them to open the doors and i silently followed. They had put their masks on to make it look like they were transferring me to some place else. As they still had all their memories, they knew how to talk to the other guards and get away with what they were doing.
