Chapter 1:

"Did you obtain my chemicals?" His voice was ominous. I nodded, not looking him in the face, er mask.

I handed him the delicate parcel making sure to hold it by the container and not the lid. The green liquid swished around in the tube as it was placed in my masters hands. He tipped the tube and spun it between his fingers. He faked a drop of the container making me jump.

He chuckled "Very good X, you may return to your quarters"

I turned around to leave when we heard a crash of metal "Oh and Kori" "Oh shit" I heard her whisper "Next time I catch you around here without reason I will be sure to give you a" he paused as he tried to find the right words "proper punishment"

She stepped forward, head bowed, fingers laced, back straight. "Yes sir. I'm very sorry…Slade"

His name came out as a whisper as they passed her lips. Her fear of him was noticeable, but what Slade didn't see was her hate for him.

He roamed her body, looking at every curve, bump, and injury.

His smile made me sick to my stomach. I clenched my fists in an attempt to calm down.

His hungry gaze lingered but then left when he saw my angered expression. "Dismissed" We marched to our room in silence.

However, as soon as we got to our room- "That little bitch!" She kicked the fold up chair across the room. "Koori, calm down" "That man is treating us like dogs! And last I remembered I'm no ones bitch!" She flopped onto her bed, headfirst into the pillow.

I rolled my eyes but went to her side. "Remember when you tried to run away that first time?" She chuckled "When I got as far as the front door, then forgot my bag outside our room?" "And Slade thought I was trying to run away?" She laughed so loud I had to cover her mouth.

She sighed "But I still feel bad about what he did to you" She traced the scar on my face with her index finger. The scar went from the corner of my eye to the corner of my lip.

She leaned in close, and I thought she was going to kiss me! I puckered my lips, thanking god that she loved me too! Just when I thought she was going to kiss me- her lips lightly brushed pass my cheek. My eye's widened and my lips went slack.

She pulled back and held my hand, rubbing my knuckles with her thumb "Its my fault you got that scar" she whispered. I sighed, but smiled "Hey, you didn't give this to me" I said pointing to my scar "But it was my fault!" "Nah, Slade would have found another reason to hit me" She looked away. She hugged her knees to her chest "I hate this"

I lifted her chin making her look me in the eyes. "Hey, I wasn't finished" "What do you mean?"

I lowered my voice "Ok, maybe you weren't able to run away successfully, but what if we try again?" She laid down turning her back to me "Let's get out of here! Away from Slade, away from this damned factory!" "That's crazy, we'd get ourselves killed, I couldn't take it if he hurt you again"

I climbed over her so I was looking her in the face "We can do it if we have a plan" She rose an eyebrow at me "Listen, who turns on the security at night before everyone goes to sleep?" She rolled her eyes "I hate that job, I always have to dodge the traps" she mumbled. I gave her a minute to let it sink in…. She gasped "No!" "It's simple! Go in, do nothing, come out" "But what if he see's it isn't on?" "He never comes out of his room after the security is on, he doesn't want to trip his own traps, this is so simple I can't believe we didn't see this before"

You could see the doubt written on her face. "Kori I need you to do this with me" She bit her lip and looked at the door and the window. She finally sighed "Ok, let's do it" "Yes-" "But it's got to be a day when he's finished a big job, he'll be knocked out and wont hear a thing" Yea that made sense.

"He's whipping up something with those chemicals, he'll probably be up all night working on it"

"Two nights from now we make our move"

Then the rest of the night we planned our escape quietly, packing the little belongings we had.

AT THE TOWER

Richards fingers tapped away at the keyboard, and Victor and Garfield were playing a video game.

I sighed once, twice, three annoying times. "Rachel, why don't you go out or something isn't it Friday?" Richard said, fingers still tapping away.

I scoffed "Believe me if I still had friends I wouldn't be here" "It's not our fault you cant hold on to a friend" Vic said in, oh let me guess "the nicest way possible" "And I'm saying that in the nicest way possible" he said "Its not that" Garfield exclaimed "people are so scared of Richard they don't want to mess with Rachel and get him peeved" Richard tensed up but didn't turn around.

I walked over and looked over his shoulder. He was looking at some files from previous robberies. "What are you doing?" "Look at these" he pulled up 2 pictures, one from today's robbery and last weeks "it's the same guy over and over" I looked closer and I saw the emblem on his suit. "And he's working for Slade" Richard nodded "and look at this" there was a video of a robbery about 2 weeks ago. This time, there was a girl with the guy. He paused it, and on her shoulder she also had the emblem. "Slades got a duo?" "Yea, and they don't seem much older then us"

I looked at the girl closely. Her form was perfect but she seemed to be holding back. She didn't look like she wanted to steal these things. "Call me crazy, but I don't think they're all that bad. Well the girl, I'm not so sure about the guy" Richard scoffed. "Yea sure they aren't" he said sarcastically "If there with Slade they have got to have some bad in them" I rolled my eyes.

My phone buzzed which it hardly did. I looked at it and it was a text from Jake! Jake Caholle was a kid in my class, at Gotham High he was known as the most popular kid at school;

Hey Rachel I know this is kind of sudden but would you like to go to the movies with me tonight?

I gasped, making Richard look at me. I cleared my throat and kept my cool. "Hey, Rich" "Hm?" "My friend wanted to know if I can go to the movies with him tonight" "Su- wait him?"

Everyone had there eyes on me. I lost all emotion and acted like it was no big deal "Yeah, Jake Caholle asked me to go" "Wait wait wait, Jock Caholle? The one with the bad reputation and a D average?" Oh please! "Those are just rumors" "Weeeell some of them are true" Garfield said looking concerned "Oh whatever, I'm going with Jake" "What's it with you and these bad boys?!" "Really?! Richard I haven't had a date since 7th grade. I'm a sophomore in high school!" "What do you need a boyfriend for anyway?" "It's my decision, my choice I don't have to explain myself to you! Your not dad!" He froze.

Whenever I talk about dad Richard gets all revved up. He never really liked Dad. Ever since I can remember, Richard has never liked our father. "I think it's time for you to go to your room Rachel"

I knew I was being mean , but I didn't care. I wanted him to hurt. He's deprived me of my freedom for too long.

I smirked "The last I checked, the only one who told me what to do is Dad and since he isn't here I don't have to listen to you" "Rachel I'm warning you" his voice was starting to rise. "I'll save you the trouble and let myself out" "Where are you going!?" he roared as I walked toward my room "Away from you!" I yelled back.

I stormed out of the room and slammed my bedroom door.

"Just because I said I'm going to my room, doesn't mean I'm going to stay here"

I got my jacket…and climbed out my window.
