Unfinished Business

3

I wake to be in my room again. Pain shoots through my whole body. I sit up slowly. I can hardly breathe. I look down at the stitches on my chest. I stand and walk to the mirror. I lift my shirt and look at my back. I see a huge bruise on my lower back. How long was I out? The door opens. "It's good to see that you're awake," Jasper says as he steps in "and alive." I look at him. "What'd you do to me?" I say calmly. "I told you, we made your heart better." He replies as he sits down on the bed. "What. Did. You. Do?" I say, getting frustrated. He tilts his head as he looks at me. "You were down a long time. Three days." He says, avoiding the question again. "If you don't plan to answer, get out." I say as I sigh. I turn to the sink. I walk to it and touch the handle, only to be greeted with a shock. I jerk my hand back. "Oh, it's already started," Jasper says in an amused manner. "What?" I ask, turning to him. He stands. "I think you'll find it quite shocking." He says as he leaves. I walk to the mirror. "Jasper, what did you do to me?" I say. I slam my fist against the glass. 

Lightning leaps between my hands. I hit the mirror again, demanding them to tell me what they did. Electricity starts to make the room glow. Suddenly, the mirror cracks. My heart pounds at this new glimmer of hope. I hit the glass again and again. Lightning flying, the crack growing. I hit with all my strength and the mirror shatters, revealing four men in lab coats. They look stunned. I smile. I jump through the mirror. Two men in body armor turn and look at me. I run the other way. My chest hurts. I start to cough but I ignore it. I have to escape. I take a sharp right, down a corridor, ignoring the screams and shrieks of the monsters in the cells. The monsters in my head are more dangerous. I see a door, with what looks like sunlight peering through. I hear the men behind me, yelling and screaming for me to stop. I run through the door. The light blinds me, but I keep running. I made it out, now I just have to keep running.

The sunlight feels so good. This place is in the middle of nowhere. The men are gaining. I feel something strike my back. Something is being exerted from it. I look to see an object attempting to taze me. It feels... good. Sending energy through me. A switch turns on in me. Electricity building. I see the men stop, fifteen yards away from me. "Stop! We will shoot!" One shouts as they pull out pistols. I pull the object from my back. I turn to them. My whole body is surrounded by lightning. "No. I am tired of this. I'm not going back." I call to them. Suddenly, I see Jasper appear behind the men. "Come on Seia. Let's go back. If you come back now, we can pretend this didn't happen." He calls to me. I can see the lies behind his eyes. "Liar," I say. "If I go back, you're just going to continue with this till I die!" I yell, the lightning growing stronger. Suddenly, I lose control and the lightning takes over. I scream as the lightning shoots out. 

It strikes the two men and barely misses Jasper. The men collapse, dead before they hit the ground. "Seia! You just killed them!" Jasper yells. I fall to my knees as the lightning starts to take over my body. I scream again. I'm not screaming because it hurts. I'm screaming because of the overwhelming joy. I stand. Jasper looks terrified. Suddenly, I feel nauseated. The lightning stops. I vomit as I look at Jasper. Suddenly, more men come running out, tackling me to the ground. They chain my arms and legs together. They pick me up and carry me past Jasper, my mind threatening to leave me. What just happened? Suddenly I feel something hit me in the face and darkness takes over my vision.
