"Go go go, move it!" I whispered, waving The Crew along sneaking past Creek's men. We came to a door but it was locked. Elliy looked with her x-ray vision and saw that the coast was clear, she turned to me and nodded. Hydro stepped in front of me from behind and held out his hands, creating a vortex. We all stepped inside, I scanned the dark hallways for Creek's guards and security cameras. Then I raised my hand and shut the security systems down, I started walking down the halls and waving down The Crew to go ahead and follow me. One by one they all proceeded down the dark hallway until we got to the main part.
"Hydro, how long can your freeze last?" I whispered looking towards Hydro.
"Um, I don't know maybe ten minutes?"
"That gives us ten minutes to find Creek's announcement room so I say we just go for it."
I looked at the crew and smiled, they all have been through so much to get to this point. We succeed in making this work. It could be the start of Creek's undoing. We rushed through the halls of the White House trying to find the announcement room until we finally did. I broke open the door and saw all the announcement equipment, we were here at long last and it was time. I sat down in the chair as Hydro and Elliott were hacking into the system. My mind was racing thinking of what could go wrong. We were in the pit of hell, Creek could catch us at any second. I looked back and forth, I felt like my head was spinning, we were finally here and anything could go wrong.
"Got it!" Elliott joyfully said.
"You're a genius!" I cried hugging him, then I started typing on the keyboard trying to access the video announcement part and then a countdown started and we were seconds away from exposing Creek for creating the very thing that he sets out to destroy. The monitor started blinking as it started recording, I took a deep breath and gathered my thoughts together.
"Citizens of the United States, my name is Treyle Kai and I am the leader of the Qua'nalls, a species that you now view as a threat! I'm here to tell you that we are not the real monsters, Creek experimented on all of us and almost killed Imorl, my sister, in trying to achieve immortality. People do you not realise what is going on? Your precious president is a mentally insane individual and he should not be leading! You think Qua'nalls are the monsters? He had his men KILL my mother. She was a human being just like you all! Creek doesn't care about humankind he only cares about covering his ass!" at this moment Creek's men barged in the room with Creek himself, this was my chance. I turned off the monitor, spun around, and looked Creek in the eyes.
"Speaking of the devil." I said with a smile.
"Treyle Kai, what a pleasure." he said, walking towards me slowly.
"Creek." I nodded for the others to get out of there, Hydro silently made a vortex getting everyone out of the room. Imorl looked at me with tears forming in her eyes, I nodded sudley as I watched them disappear. They were safe now at least and I knew Imorl would take care of them.
"Grab her." Creek said walking away from me as two of his men walked toward me. Not this time!
"No!" I screamed as I waved the two men away from me. "I will NEVER be taken by you again!" I started to kill all of his men around me.
"Gwen!" I heard from the hallway, in came Gavin , my older brother.
"Gavin? I-I don't understand."
"Gwen, I'm so sorry." Gavin held up a gun to my face, I waved Creek out of the room making it just my brother and I.
"Gavin, they killed mom, how could you side with them after that. I'M YOUR SISTER." I said holding up my hands with my breath shaking.
