Insanity

Twelve

I ran my hands through my hair. What have I gotten myself into? I have no weapon, no idea where I'm going and I'm probably going to die. Fuck it.

I can see guards coming my way. Oh, ah, where do I hide? There's no where to hide! Oh shit. "You there! What are you doing down here?!" One bellows, fuck it, I'm just gonna go for it. "I'm looking for the prisoners, you know the kids? The ones being experimented on? Can you give me directions?" "I see, straight down the hall, take a left and then a right, you'll be there in no time" that worked? What a moron. "Thank you" he's probably gonna realise right? I ain't waisting what time I have.

I run down the hall, I take a left. Why is there so many empty hallways? It makes me uncomfortable. Hang right and  bam! I'm here. That is a very large door. How am I going to open it? I could break it down but I don't know if I have my powers or not. Should've asked that moron for a key card. Damn it.

The door opens and come face to face with a tubby scientist. My luck. We both just stare at each other. I point at the door, "is there kids in there?" That didn't sound creepy at all. He nodded slowly, "good, hold the door for me?" He nods again, holding the door wider for me to enter. This really is a weird day. I walk in, Jesus Christ. There's a dozen cells, they all seem to be full. Each cell has a button next to it and a clipboard. I move further in, to my left is a pale, fragile girl, huddled in the corner. On the right is a boy growling at me. I choke back a sob as look into each cell. All filled with malnourished kids. Shit what the hell was that bang?! I turn behind to see the door is shut. I run towards and try pulling it open. Oh fuck! That dumbass scientist dude locked me in. I don't have a fucking key card either.

I kick the door in defeat. It's okay, I can figure a way out. If I can find an exit point then I can get the kids out and destroy the serum. I charge down to the other side of the room, there has to be something here. "You're not like them, are you?" I here a voice speak. I look to the closest cells, a girl is standing up, holding the bars for support. It's Maisie Ranger, the girl from the security footage. "No, I'm not one of them" I confirm, "why are you here?" She asks, "I'm getting you out. All of you" "then get on with it, I'm tired and hungry. I'd rather not be waiting around" "I need to find another way out, the doors locked" "how'd you get in here, the first place?" "The science guy let me in" "what a moron" "I know"

"You don't by any chance know where they keep the serum do you?" I ask, "they keep it in a room further down. It's where they take us" her voice trailed off, "it's okay, thank you"

"I know you, you're that girl from the tv. They call you the Banshee" called out a small boy from further down, "how do you know?" I ask, "he just got here two days ago" Maisie answered, "are you gonna help us, Miss Banshee" asked a small girl, I nodded, "just call me Olive"

I dart around, opening cells. I have an idea, it's probably not going to work but I have to try. For the kids. I help them all to stand and to walk. I position myself in front of the door, "are you gonna scream, Miss Olive?" asked the little boy from before, "I'm going to try" "what do you mean try?" Asked Maisie, "I don't know if I can anymore, I'm sorry. I woke up without my enhanced abilities, I don't know what Ophelia did but I'm have to try" my voice croaks at the end.

I take deep breaths and move my head side to side, cracking it. I move shoulders in circular motions and close my eyes. I pull my arms in, my hands in line with chest. If I'm to do this right I have to direct my scream, I doubt this will work but I'm doing it anyway. "Cover your ears" I instruct before sucking in a breath.

I let it out. I scream as loud as could. Pushing my arms forward, I could feel the sound waves being directed. I don't care if I'm breaking the laws of physics, it's working. The door buckles before finally crushing under the pressure. It leaves a gaping hole in the wall and I stop. My legs feel like jelly but I keep my composure. I feel a hand on my shoulder, "You okay?" Maisie asks. Not gonna lie but she's kinda cute. Now is not the time Olive! Focus! I smile and nod.
