A Heart Between Us

Chapter 16: Electrifying

Authors Notes: Recently I've been called out for making this fic. Apparently making this fic with a child as a slave is racist. Racism is based on superiority and this has nothing to do with superiority over a race. Whereas Kairi doesn't have a race. She was created by gene splicing. Her skin is milky white. The person who said these things about me and this fic didn't read it...at all. They just summed it all up via synopsis. So...without any further interruptions...chapter 16.

Triggers: Some blood.

A Heart Between Us

Chapter 16

Electrifying

Kairi had watched the screen across the desk as Mr. E and Zane fought. She watched them with pure horror as her father nearly fell into the tigers pit, and screamed when Cole ran through pushing Mr. E into the wall catching Zane and pulling him close.

She sat on the floor looking around the room, slowly trying to stand up on her blistered feet. She wasn't mad, she was furious. She glared at the screen and viciously attacked it. She grabbed it and threw it at the wall, shattering it before picking up a chair with some effort and threw it at the tv too. The fruit was knocked from the basket to the floor.

The door slammed open and Dr. Brill stood there glaring down at her. He went to grab her by the hair. She grabbed his hand and bit down hard on it. He screamed out trying to get her face away from his fingers.

"Guards!" His screams increased when she crunched down harder onto his fingers, biting them clean off. He hit the ground, shaking as he glanced at the two stumps where his first and second finger were. He looked around, seeing them on the floor wiggling like they were speared worms.

Kairi plucked the keys from his belt. She unlocked her cuffs and ran out the door, hitting the fire alarm as she did. The hallways went from dimly lit to red as the alarms began to sound.

Kairi dashed down the hallway as far from the man as she possibly could. She needed to find Jay.

The walls all fell down around them, revealing an exit off in the distance.

"What the..." Cole whispered.

Even the machines and animals went back to other doors with cages as if cleaning themselves off the chess board. Then the lights began to glow red.

"Uh...what happened?" Cole looked at Nya who shrugged her shoulders, looking down at her brother who was now cleaned from her water. His eyes were open and he was actually looking around, but his head still wrapped in her pinkish red sash.

"Come on, let's not waste this opportunity." Lloyd limped toward the exit. Two guys stepped out and into the area.

"You lot better stay put." One of the guards said

"Oh and whys that?" Cole held Zane closer to him

"There's a small panic up top. The rich folks are worried that we're gonna crash cause when someone pushes the fire button...everything stops." One said. The other nodded.

"But dude...we're on the bottom floor. If this place does fall out of the sky this place will be destroyed we gotta get out of here." Kai limped toward the door. One of the guys stood in his way, pushing him back. Kai back paddled and landed on his butt.

"Hey, that's my brother!" Nya ran at the guy. The man side stepped grabbing Nya's pony tail and back handed her to the floor. Lloyd ran over to her. Blood bubbled from her nose and lip.

"Nya?!" Kai kneeled down, looking her over. "I think we're running out of sashes." He laughed.

"Well at least yours is red." Nya said as he dabbed at her face.

"You'll be just fine sis." He helped her up. She grew dizzy and leaned on his shoulder.

A bright flash and both men landed hard to the ground. There eyes locked with Jay's.

"They hurt Nya." He said

"Jay! Where's my daughter?" Cole looked around. He placed Zane in Lloyd's arms. Lloyd nearly fell over from the weight.

"Cole..." He gritted his teeth and just sat down on the ground.

"She's there." Jay pointed to the opening of the exit. Kairi's soft glowing eyes was what greeted him. He had no idea what came over him. He ran forward and gathered her in his arms, kissing her forehead.

"Baby, are you okay?" He looked at her feet seeing the blisters.

"I'm alright dad...just a little...banged up." She glanced around at the others.

"Your mouth." He saw the blood.

"Its Dr. Brills blood. I bit his fingers off." Cole burst out laughing. "Then I turned on the fire alarm." She said pointing upstairs.

"Yeah but now we're kinda going down." Jay said.

"Going down?" Nya asked.

"Yeah not too fast though."

"The Bounty should still be up top though." Lloyd motioned for them to follow. "Come on let's get out of here."
