Prologue

The bars were cold and grimy, grease and blood hung around them. The walls were small and cracked, barely leaving enough space for me to move around.

If I had simply stayed home that day, I wouldn't be in this mess. If I had listened to Sam, she wouldn't have been killed in the crossfire. Tucker wouldn't have been tortured because of me…

It all happened just a few years ago, when I had finished with Skulker. I was tired and drained, however, I still had curiosity.

After sending Skulker to the Ghost Zone, I had spotted a strange weapon not too far off. It belonged to one of the GIW judging by its design and the huge label that said "GIW." They could not have been any more obvious.

What struck me as odd was that there were any of the agents in sight. Sam and Tucker noticed this as well. Sam had suspected something to be amiss, but I didn't listen.

I walked up to it and found that it was attached to a string, which I didn't see until I lifted it up. Something clicked and the next thing I know, Sam is pushing me out of the line of the way, getting hit by whatever it was herself. Turned out, it was an electrified bullet of some sort. Something that would only immobilize me, but- Sam being human- killed her.

I was so devastated. GIW took advantage of my shocked state, taking me out and kidnapping Tucker along with me.

GIW buried Sam along the way to their base. Heartless beasts they were.

I wouldn't talk when they asked for information on what exactly I was, or how I ticked. Tucker was tortured because of my stubbornness.

I was an idiot.

He soon died when I gave in.

A year later of experiments and tests, trial and error, I was sold off to the highest bidder, a creepy man.

They gave him all the information they collected at his request, showing my weaknesses and strengths.

Now, 2 years later, at the age of 17, I'm showed off to every rich man and women who know of the supernatural like a zoo animal. This cage, which I currently reside, is, and will forever be, my home.

I gave up trying to escape after the first month of being here. I would have tried longer, but having been in the base of the GIW, I knew better. Besides, the creepy man binds me in gauntlets made to nullify my powers. I needed 5 total, one for each limb, plus the collar on my neck.

There's no hope for me, none at all.
