Secret Powers

Chapter 15

I'm still waiting for more people to comment. I'm a reader, so I understand that people don't usually read these author's notes. Anyway, we're gonna start getting into the REAL action in this chapter. I know I've been doing a lot of filler chapters, but I promise this isn't one! I'm sorry it took so long to finish this chapter.  Also, how do you like the drawing above? I did it. I've decided to just write a A/N at the top of the chapter, not the bottom. Do you want more words in each chapter? Like, 6K+ each? Let me know. Comment your thoughts! Happy reading!

The first thing that I saw was NOT what I expected. It was Khione. Standing in front of me. I thought I was delusional!

"Khione?" I asked, confused.

"I don't have much time. You're dreaming. We've been taken to Moore Sciences. They suspect you have powers. They have your parents in another room. Jax is next to you," she told me.

"Is this what my dreams from earlier where depicting?" I asked, suddenly starting to panic.

"Yes, and you can't let them see me. Control your emotions. Don't give them reason to keep you here, ok? Mr. Moore is hungry for power, and he won't stop at anything to get it. They don't know about your power dampeners yet, but it's only a matter of time," she said.

With each word, she was fading away. I was starting to wake up. 

Just before she faded away, Khione told me one last thing, "Stay strong."

With that, I was jolted awake by a cold shill going over my body. Now, I have a pretty strong capacity for cold, but cold water waking you up is still surprising. 

"Ah!" I yelled.

"What the HELL man?! That's my sister!" I heard someone yell from next to me. 

Once my eyes had adjusted, I realized that the person who had yelled was Jax. We were each tied up by a single chain and shackles coming from the ground. Around our necks were a shock-collars. Huh. They were really going all-out on us. 

"I'm fine. Clearly, this DOUCHEBAG doesn't know how to treat a woman. That's fine, we can teach him, can't we, Jax?" I said, turning my attention to the person who was standing in front of us.

He was clearly low on the pecking order. The guy was probably just assigned to watch us until the boss came. It was almost sad, actually. Unfortunately, I didn't care, so...

"Yeah, but first, why are we here?" he asked, deciding to play the innocent card.

The idiot just grunted. I assumed he was on orders to not take any chances with us. Smart.

"Ooh! We have the strong and silent type, Jax! How exciting!" I said, hoping to push our guard dog's buttons. 

Believe it or not, our parents had trained us to for situations where we are captured. Our plan was to not give away any of our information while gaining information form our captures so we can find a way out. It's simple, really. 

"You know what? Since you're clearly not important, can you find someone who is? This is getting boring," Jax said, solidifying the plan.

We put on masks of power to hide any signs of fear. People will exploit our fears if they see them. That's why we need to do this.
