The shadow jumped from the window to the floor in one breath. Seconds later, the shadow was inches from the small girl's face.
She whispered in his ear. "Do you wish to keep your talents, or to be set free?"
"I wish to. . ." she stuttered, digging her nails under the silver bracelet. "I wish to be set free."
The mysterious girl nodded, and whispered. "I'm sorry, Lola. This might hurt a bit."
She placed her hand on Lola's, and held it. Lola looked at it, and gasped with shock. A weird sensation, like she was losing blood fast, passed throughout her. Her hand was almost glowing, as her power drained from out of her hand to the girl in front of her.
The process was complete, and Lola laid her head down on the cold floor.
"You'll be okay." The girl said. "They'll let you out in the morning. You'll be a little dizzy for a day or two, but you're cured now."
The girl, the leech, felt the new power surge up and down her body. She could now walk through the walls, and she did. She walked right into the next cell.
"Do you wish to keep your talents, or be free?"
A teenage boy sitting on his small plastic cover bed looked up. "Oh, hey Gorgeous! Haven't seen you in a while."
"Do you wish to keep your talents, or be free?" She repeated.
"Oh, you can suck out all the power out of my body, if that's what you're asking."
The leech reached for his hand, but he pulled it away. "Oh, no!" He pointed to his lips, and said, "I know it's easier from here."
She rolled her eyes, and forced her lips on his awkwardly, feeling the rush of power go through her lips, her head, down her neck, and down her body.
The boy pulled away, lightheaded. "Whoa," he said, almost drunkenly. "That . . .was intense."
She pushed him over, his head landing on the pillow. "Sleep."
The next room kept his talent, the next was set free. The leech was sucking in so much power, she knew if she went too long, she'd probably explode. Forcing the image of what a possible power explosion would look like, she decided to go to one more cell.
"Do you wish to keep your talent, or be set free?"
There was a dark haired boy, with beautiful eyes. He looked up, and the leech almost melted.
"Please, cure me from this power."
She moved closer, and put her palm on his cheek, and moved in closer, pressing her lips against his. She started draining the power, but then something went wrong. Instead of receiving energy, she was loosing energy. The dark haired boy wouldn't let go, clutching onto her hair, and was continuously sucking all of her energy out of her body.
She finally broke the connection, and stumbled backwards, feeling weak, her vision going away. As her knees buckled, and as she started falling to the floor, she watched the beautiful eyes smile at her.
