A Dangerous Turn

Uncertainty

       "Alright, well I'll get the keys to your cell tomorrow, I think I might know where they would keep the Stone,"Loki said as Lexandra nodded in agreement."Like I've said I have been here before,"Loki added. "Well the sooner the better we can all be out of here,"Lexandra said. Loki smiled. "You should rest, big day tomorrow,"Loki said. starting to slowly disappear. Lexandra walked over to the cell bars as a dim green light flashed in Loki’s cell just bright enough for her to see it.
             She smiled and walked over to her bed.laying down as the mattress squeaked. Lexandra closed her eyes as she drifted off into sleep. Her eyes shot open as her cell opened. She leaned up with a groan. As the guard shoved her out of her cell. She huffed as he poked her with the taser weapon. Chycill was again in front of her in the line. Her hair this time in a neat bun. Lexandra smiled as the line moved a step. Chycill turned around. "You do recognize me this time right?" She asked with a smile.
           Lexandra laughed."Yes, also I love the new hair style,what salon you go to?"Lexandra joked. Chycill furrowed her eyebrows. "What's a salon?"She asked. "It's a place where someone fixes or styles your hair,"Lexandra informed. Chycill nodded. The line moved Slightly. Lexandra felt light headed as she walked, she could feel herself sway weakly.
           "You okay Lex?" Chycill asked. "I'm fine, just a little hungry,”Lexandra reassured. The line moved again. The same guard that shocked her walked by her with a creepy smile. His jagged teeth stained green slowly faded into a frown as he walked away from her. Lexandra sighed, rolling her eyes.She turned back around to see Chycill had already moved up again. She walked quickly towards her. 
     An alien with yellow pale skin and black eyes slightly shoved Lexandra as she went beside Chycill. “Watch it,”She said looking at the alien in the line behind her. He was extremely tall. He growled at Lexandra. She got up in his face as a guard walked up and got out his taser weapon and pointed it at the guy. She looked at the guard. Shocked he didn’t point it at her. She turned around with a smile. Chycill glared at the alien with yellow skin and spun around as well. 
    The guard walked off and winked at Lexandra. She raised her eyebrow and turned away until she saw a green flash in Loki’s cell. She smiled as she looked for the guard nowhere to be seen. “He likes you, you see that right?”Chycill said with a smirk. Lexandra laughed.”Oh yeah sure he does,”She stated sarcastically. “I'm serious! Just the way he speaks to you, I can tell he likes you,”Chycill said. Lexandra looked over at him in his cell and looked back. “No he doesn’t, he is just using me to get the things he wants,”Lexandra huffed. 
    Chycill shrugged. They walked closer and closer to a cafeteria area. Lexandra grabbed a tray and looked at the food. She almost puked at the different alien foods. There was a brown liquid with different colored eyes floating at the top of it. Another tub of neon green slime with small creatures swimming around in it. She grabbed a handful of fruit and walked to a table. She huffed and put her head on the table. 
    Chycill walked over with the green slime stuff on her tray. “Why are humans so picky, you're the second human to be here and I heard they wouldn’t eat the food here either. “I’m the second human to be here?”Lexandra asked. “Yeah, I think her name was Amanda or something,”Chycill said. Lexandra nodded her head looking down. “Where is she now?”Lexandra questioned.”She got moved down to the first floor after she took a bite out of one of the guards,”She said. Lexandra looked down at her discolored fruit. “So she couldn't handle being here ?” Lexandra questioned.” “Oh yeah every night rammed herself into the cell bars, in the morning there was always blood covering the floor in her cell,”Chycill said. 
    “That’s terrible,”Lexandra added. “That’s why they added electricity to the cells,”Chycill said.  “And it’s also why they moved her down to the first floor,”Another alien added, sitting down beside Chycill. Lexandra looked up. “Oh my apologies my name is Obrulz,”He said. Lexandra smiled. “I'm Lexandra nice to meet you,” She said. “I was in one of the cells beside her, she was always so nice,”Obrulz said. “She had been through alot before she even got into her cell,”Chycill added. 
    “What happened to her,” Lexandra questioned. “She talked about there being an attack on your planet,” Obrulz said. “She was from New York,”Lexandra said, slightly taken back. “What was her name again?” Lexandra said. Obrulz looked at her. “It was Amber I think,” Obrulz said. Lexandra went silent, her eyes wide. “Are you sure that was her name, what was she wearing?” Lexandra said feeling her heart race. “I'm pretty sure, she always has this locket around her neck, her clothes were pretty torn up and had a blue top on,”Obrulz said. 
            "She would always fight the guards about the prison outfit,"Obrulz said. 
    Lexandra felt her hands shake. “I got her that locket on her nineteenth birthday,” Lexandra said holding back tears. Chycill and Obrulz looked at her shocked. “You knew her?” Chycill questioned, perplexed. “She is my sister,”Lexandra said quietly. The intercom rang as they all stood up heading back towards their cells. Lexandra watched Obrulz walk into his cell. She stared at the empty cell beside his. She turned her head away. Chycill walked in her cell looking at Lexandra concerned. 
    Lexandra landed on her small bed. She looked up to see Loki illusioning himself in her cell. She let her head fall back down as she looked at the ceiling. “I’m getting the keys as soon as the lights go off ,be ready,”He instructed. “Loki, she isn’t in the best mood at the moment,”Chycill warned. “Why not, will be out of here soon and as you said all of the people here will be,”Loki said annoyed. Lexandra shot up as if lighting struck her. “All of us,”She said in a hushed tone. “Yes, did that lighten up your mood?” Loki asked, confused. 
    She jumped out of her bed. “When we escape does that mean, we move down to the first floor?” Lexandra asked, tears beginning to swell in her eyes. “Yes, why is that so important?”Loki said. “Well for one it means I don’t hate you, and two I get to see my sister again!”She yelled happily. Loki looked at her a moment. “Thanos took your sister?”He asked. “Yes, she was moved on the first floor,” Lexandra said. Loki sighed holding his head. “What?” She questioned. 
    “The first floor is very dangerous, I was already weary about going there,”Loki admitted. “I have to get her Loki, if the plan goes south then leave me but I have to get her,”Lexandra sternly said. “I'm not leaving you,” Loki said dryly. “Alright then, we're not leaving Amber either,”She said. Loki nodded. “Lexandra something doesn’t seem right about your sister being here,”Loki stated. “What do you mean?”Lexandra questioned, worried. “There are two reasons people are in this prison, one is that the reason is that we are his enemy,”Loki said. “The other is that you are captured because your planet is about to be destroyed and he picks only one to live,”Chycill added. 
    “Amber doesn’t fit the description of an enemy to me and after a year earth is still present,”Loki said. Lexandra sighed. “Then why is she here?”Lexandra asked. “How did you learn that Amber was here?”Loki questioned. “A guy named Obrulz and Chycill said there was someone who fit her description,” Lexandra said. “Chycill? When was  the supposed Amber thrown in her cell,”Loki asked her. “I think it was almost a year ago,”Chycill said. Loki sighed. “Well it does sound like she is here, I guess we will see when the time comes,”Loki shrugged. 
     A certain guard that Lexandra despised approached Lexandra’s cell as Loki quickly disappeared. He looked in at Lexandra and slammed his hand down on the cell. “Be quiet,”He hissed. “Or what,”Lexandra spat. “He threw open the cell door. “I'm getting sick of your mockery, I should throw you in a first floor cell, see as the other prisoners tear you apart,”He growled. Lexandra only smirked as he said it. He pointed his taser gun at her face. “Say something rodent,”He yelled. The aliens started looking out of their cells and towards her. “Do it then,” She said. He grabbed her shoulder and tossed her out of the cell. She laughed. 
    “It seems you're a little more scared of me,”Lexandra mocked. The guard scoffed. “Oh really now how is that,”He said shoving her. “Well if I wasn’t much of a threat then why even have your gun on me?”She asked. He lowered his taser as she spun around and kicked him in the face.Loki laughed slightly and walked towards the cell bars. The guard fell down as five guards rushed near her. She grabbed the unconscious guard's keys and unlocked  Chycill’s cell. She walked out with a smile. 
 Her eyes turned solid gold as a guard grabbed her. She snapped her fingers as he stopped moving. She laughed. “Good, now go help Lexandra,” Chycill said. The hypnotised guards tased one of the other guards as he fell to the floor in pain. Chycill looked through one of the main entrances to see a handful of more guards coming.”Lexandra keys!” She said as Lexandra threw the keys in the air. Chycill caught them running over to the next person’s cell. Unlocking it as a male alien with blue skin and with long purple claws walked out. Roaring at the guards who entered  the room. Lexandra smiled as a guard charged at her, as soon as they got close enough Lexandra jumped onto their shoulder and flipped them down to the floor. 
Chycill unlocked another cell door as the four legged alien charged out of the cell, with a loud screech. A guard ran at Chycill as her eyes went solid gold, she tossed them the keys. “Unlock as many cells you can, starting with his,” She said pointing at Loki’s cell across the room. Loki crossed his arms with a smirk. Lexandra turned her head to see a beast  charge at her, similar to the one that attacked her on the ship. Her eyes went wide as she started running. It got closer as Chycill jumped through the air. She pulled out one of the guards guns and blasted it in the face.
It barely moved it’s head and looked angry at Lexandra and Chycill. It roared as Chycill and backed away towards the railing. It smacked Chycill down, She hit the railing breaking it. She gasped as she started falling down towards the first floor. Lexandra jumped on the remaining railing and grabbed for Chycill’s hand. She caught her as Chycill held on. The beast roared as it approached the railing. Lexandra frantically looked around for any way of escape or a safe landing. She closed her eyes as the beast swung his hands at the two.
