Deep Down

Questioned

Gravity manipulator? What the heck is a gravity manipulator? The girl finally stood up and regained her stance, she dusted herself off and gave me a piercing glare. The ground underneath her had the small indentation of her body, and the grass was all mashed up and scruffy. The man slowly approached me, examining me with his cold eyes.

"Guards," he snapped his finger, "tell me her name and all information you have on her, now."

"Yes, sir!" The guards said in sync behind me. They both stepped forward but the one on the right started speaking in a stern voice, "Clark, Hailey. 13 years of age, and 4'11, 93 pounds. Special ability is Energy Blasts."

I was stunned. Did they know all this about me? I didn't even know my own height and weight. I just stared off, was this real? Is all that information about me true?

"That's all? Nothing about gravity manipulation?"

"No, sir."

"You may go back to your position now."

"Thank you, sir." The guard nodded his head.

"Alright! So, Hailey, dear, now why don't you show me that gravity manipulation of yours?" He said in a 'friendly' voice, but you could tell it more of a demand.

"I uh...I don't know how I did it..." I stammered

"Oh come on now, don't play these games with me, child." He started to walk up to me.

"Mister, I really don't know how I did it."

He grabbed me by my shoulders roughly, "Tell me how. You are very special with that, now tell me how you did it." He sneered. 

That fake persona completely dropped. I glanced around and saw everyone staring at me with a look that said they were scared that they were going to be next, with a hint of pity. 

"Fine. Stay silent. Take her away, I have no use until she tells me." Once we said this, I looked back at the guards and felt the leather gloves roughly grab my arms and pull me back, dragging me back into that facility. They covered my eyes with a damp rag that had a scent on it, and my vision slowly went black.

...

"Hailey! Up, now!" I rubbed my eyes and as I was in the middle of doing so, a different nurse came in. How come it's not Connor? Before I could properly see, I felt the elastic white gloves roughly grab my arms and a needle get quickly inserted into my arm. My eyes shot open and I looked at the man, I couldn't get a clear look at him before he started to drag me out of my room. He threw a rag over my eyes so I couldn't see where I was going- or more like where he was dragging me to.

I heard the clank of a heavy door closing, and I was soon seated in a chair but felt my hands getting tied up behind me with a rope that had wisps of loose strands that were tickling my wrist. The man moved the rag from my eyes so my vision came back and I could see what was happening. I tried to look at the person who brought me here, but they already left the room by the time that I turned my head to look towards them.

I soon looked in front of me, and that strange man sat there with his hands on the metal table. It looked like we were in an interrogation room. His cold and emotionless eyes looked into mine deeply, and he looked like he was drowning in questions.

"Are you ready to tell me? After all, I am the one responsible for you here, so why can't you be a good little girl and tell me about that little hidden power of yours, hm?" He said sternly.

"Look, I already told you that I don't even know what I did. Also, what did you mean by that, huh? You're the one responsible for me being here?" I was starting to get aggravated.

"Tch. This is useless. I guess you guys are nothing but worthless little mutant after all."

I had no idea that a person could change personalities like this so quickly. He was so nice to everyone while we were out there. I wonder what happened after I left. I looked down at my lap and saw my blonde hair slowly fall onto my lap. Did the others go through this too?

I heard the sound of a chair getting scraped on the floor, and as I looked up I saw the man raise his arm high in the air with a frustrated look on his face. His open hand came down on my face, it was stinging bad and I felt tears beginning to form at the edge of my eyes.

"Put her with the others. I'm done with her." He commanded them to do. The guards roughly picked me up, making me trip so they were basically just carrying me.

Once again they put a rag over my eyes, so I can't get a layout of this place. One of the guards loosened their grip on me and opened a door in which I got thrown through. I heard the footsteps fade and then the slam of a door. I felt someone untie my hands and take the rag off my eyes. I looked to see who did me this favor and saw everyone that was in the forest area, in that same room.

"Are you okay?" A voice gently asked.
