Blessings of Anathema

Chapter XIII: Pablo IV

I got separated from Proph and Dalton. The interns we took their card from seem to work on separate floors, so we had to go opposite directions.
I was ushered down the hallway and met by 2 men is coats. "Mr.Braden?" Said one of the men.
Braden Jill. That's the name of the person I stole this I.D from. According to Kens information, Braden is a top class intern. He's so gifted that he gets a private, hands on class. Something the others don't have.
"Yes?" I replied. "Right this way." The man said before opening the door behind him.
We walked over to an elevator and then entered it. They selected a number and the elevator descended.
When it opened we were in a dark tunnel. I guess this is the underground tunnel that connects the multiple buildings together.
"Follow us." One of the men said before waving me out.
I followed them for a few minutes down this tunnel. It's eery. Complete silence except the sound of water pumping through the pipes, which ran along the walls.
"So, Mr.Braden" Said one of the men. "Uhh yeah?" I responded. "Since when have you.... not been yourself?"
He then twisted around and elbowed me in the mouth. The other one kicked me in the stomach, causing me to get knocked a few feet away.
I coughed and lifted my head up at them. They both pulled out two long blades and opened them.
I stood up and put my hands up, preparing to engage. They charged at me simultaneously, each lunging at me from opposite sides. I dodge both attacks and managed to slip around them before taking a few skips back to separate us.
One man started spinning his blade before speaking. "You know... I've always hated you lab rats." He then charged at me alone.
He through his leg up to kick me, however I blocked it with my arm. He then tried to punch me but I duckers and he missed.
Kill him Ran through my mind, so I swung at him with full force. However, I snapped out of it right before contact and pulled my hand back.
This hesitation left an opening and the other guy sliced my arm, and then kicked me in the face. I stumbled back but caught my balance and stared them down.
I can kill them both right now. They're nothing more than a waste of matter with no purpose but to die at my ha...
What am I thinking? I can't kill them. I can figure a way out of this without any more blood shed.
"Who are you guys?" I said to them.
"What's it matter?" One of them responded. "Information is pointless when it's inside a corpse." He then rushed back at me, slashing his blade at me. I dodged it and slapped his hand, causing him to drop the knife. However he spun around with the other one and stabbed it into my right thigh.
"Ahh!" I screamed out before flinching down. I looked down at my thigh. I could see the knife shifting inside the muscles in my thigh. My sight of the knife was then covered by a shoe. I was kicked in face by the other man, knocking my head up. He then rushed me and sliced my right side open, cause blood to burst out of me. I dropped to my knees and put my hand over the wound.
I gritted my teeth and eyes in pain. What did I do wrong? Why is this happening to me... I just want to be cured. I don't want this. I don't want any part of this!
I then opened my eyes to only be met with a stream of blood, riding the curves in the floor. I was shocked... frozen.
Then I started laughing.
"You know?" I said. I then stood up and faced the two men. "This is a really dangerous place to fight me."
I then stood out my hands and used my Urie to pull the water out of the pipes.
One man through up his hands to engage, the other ran to grab his knife I knocked away Earlier.
"Not-uh-uh" I said before slinging a line of water at the man, tightening it around his leg and pulling him back.
"Let's take a trip down memory lane." I said before using the water to create a massive cube of water, trapping the men inside.
"My... my... doesn't this shape look familiar." I said. I then began twirling the water inside the cube, making it more difficult to remain calm and control the heart rate.
One man looked at me, complete fear in his eyes.
"It's not far, is it?" I said to him. "One second you're winning, the next you're not. I know that all too well. I was winning... Everyone adored me... and now... now I'm a torture to myself. Do you know what it's like when just allowing yourself to live is too much pressure?" Oh..." I paused and smiled. "Pressure... lets... add a little more." I said before squeezing the water inside the cube.
I heard loud cracks and then blood burst out of each of their mouths. It just floated in the water. Their eyes dulled out. There wasn't any life left in them.
And in that moment I came back. What did I...
I released the water. It smashed the ground hard and spread throughout the tunnel.
I dropped to my knees. Did I just.... I looked at my hands and then looked at their bodies.
Is this really the power I have? I'm capable of doing something like this?
An alarm starting ringing throughout the facility.

Code Black Immediate evacuation. Code Black Immediate evacuation. Code Black Immediate evacuation

Code Black? Oh no. That's the signal.
I gotta find the others.
