Chapter Three

I woke to a throbbing headache, rubbing my eyes I looked around the room. I was lying on a king size bed with a golden comforter, and a chandelier hanging above me. What am I doing here? Where is here? I stood up trying to find a way out when I noticed a pile of clothes at the end of my bed, and next to it was my purse. A sudden rush of hope coursed through me, I reached into it only to find my glasses but no phone. Of course, they took it away from me. I changed quickly, pulling on the newly bought crop top and shorts. I pulled my hair out of its bun and ran my fingers through it. I grabbed my glasses and slid them on. I tried the door. Locked. I banged my fists on the door and yelled for them to get me out. I slid down the wall and pulled my knees to my face. I have to get out. I need to.

I heard someone unlocking my door. I jumped to my feet, ran to the bed, and lay there. The door creaked open and someone shuffled inside. I moved off the bed ready turning on the water works. I thought he was cute last night but nothing could compare to what he looked like in the sunlight. I noticed his tats running down his arm for the first time. I sniffed and he just stood there staring. I crouched over and wiped my eyes before moving closer to him. His eyes ran down my body quickly but I still noticed. "I'm Justin." He said his eyes showing little concern to my crying act. I edged closer and when I was close enough I said. "You bitch." Then I lifted my knee and kneed him in the groin. His hands immediately went to his crowned jewels. I pushed myself past him and was about to run out the door when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back throwing me on the floor. I grabbed and tried to wrestle my way up, but he threw himself on top of me. "Please you’re hurting me." I managed to breathe out. "You can't run there is nowhere for you to hide." His voice was deep and fierce. He pushed himself off me but kept held of my wrists. "Please, why have you taken me?" I begged. He laughed harshly." Taken you more like saved you." "What the hell do you mean?" "The very reason that you decided to smash that window and let out your secret. I would be thanking me right now if I were you, so if you don’t have anything nice to say, shut your mouth, I'm not very nice when I'm angry," he shouted in disgust at my behavior. I calmed myself down, maybe it was best not to get on his bad side. "Why am I here?" "We know about your powers Meredith." "What powers?" I pleaded ignorance. He laughed, "it was pretty obvious when you smashed that window now wasn't it!" My breathing became uneven, with every word he said he knew me. "Your family didn't understand you; they were scared so they agreed with the law." I stared blankly at his gorgeous face, shame he was my kidnapper. "What to get the anti-rebellion procedure?" "No to execute all mind readers." He says bluntly, the look of horror was showing on my face as I realized what this meant. My mother knew that it would kill my brother and me but no one warned us, we are so close to having that procedure.  He must be lying! He's lying to me!! I threw all my energy forwards, so full of anger I hurt myself. I watched as he grunted, then laughed at me. "You think you’re so powerful don't you!? Well guess what, so am I." I felt a tugging sensation at my brain I felt my body lift. No, I feel my mind lifting. I see Damon; he has come to save me. He is running towards me, shouting words I can't hear. I see my mother crumpling to the ground in fear, my dad shoving Damon back. “Let her go.” The words pierced my mind. They all saw me be dragged off unconscious; Damon tried to save me. Mum was too scared but Dad he just let me go. My own father let me go. All of my family failing me because I'm still here. Kidnapped. Weakness overthrew my power. I fell to the ground.

I woke up to my pounding head and I gagged from the metallically taste of blood in my mouth. I rolled over and noticed the water and Panadol on the side table. I reached for it nearly jumped out of my skin from someone coughing behind me. "Gosh Justin! What the hell!" He coughed before saying "I was just making sure you ok. After last night." "Yeah right!! What the hell did you do to me?" “You need to learn about who you are and what you can do here. You can't attack everyone you see! But since you asked I showed you what your family did when we saved you" He moved forward and passed me the glass of water and Panadol. "Now take this you will feel better." He began to walk towards the door. "Justin?" I said weakly. He turned looking surprised. "Yeah" "you think you saved me?" I spat. “Yeah, Yeah I do” Later that day I continued to pace my room until I really was fed up with the same cream walls and blue carpet. I pounded on the door screaming for Justin to let me out. I screamed until my throat hurt I pounded until my fists hurt. My body was sore but my brain was not. I forced my energy onto the doorframe, the door handle rattled and the door shook. Finally the handle popped I shoved the door open. Two burly looking men, whom I knocked out cold with my powers, greeted me. Justin was just scaring me, he does not know what I can do. Pure rage fueled my brainpower. I ran down the long wide hallway with chandlers hanging from the ceiling. I pushed my energy onto anyone and everyone who got in my way. Until I stopped outside a door that had flickering light from underneath. I pushed it slightly and saw many screens from a boardroom. My father was in that boardroom. "They can't know there are people like that out there sir" my father shook his head. "They won't I have a plan. But it's not going to be nice." I gasped and I saw Justin turn quickly and notice me standing there. "Meredith!" The rage still fueling me I threw my power and it threw him across the room and he hit the wall hard, his head falling forward and hitting his chest with a loud smack. Others were coming for me and it was too many to knock out in one go, so I ran. I ran until the pain threw me forward. I saw him standing there anger on his bruised face. Correction pure rage. "Justin please."
