AN: Hey guys, well this is my first fic and I'd really appreciate it if you reviewed and told me what you thought of it!
Alexandra ran, ran as fast as she could. Her breath was coming in short gasps, and she ached everywhere, but she ran on as fast as her long legs would carry her, her auburn hair whipping in the wind. Her life depended on it, as well as her sisters'. She made a sharp right, trying to throw off her pursuers; they'd been following her since she'd escaped their little hellhole.
Flashback
She was sitting in her dark, dank cell. They had been there for around a month already. Or at least, so she thought. Down here you couldn't really tell when one day ended and another began. Right then, during her free time, when she wasn't being tested and experiment on or hassled by the guards, she was pondering on a way to get her and her sisters out of this horrible place. She thought she had come up with a plan when she heard heavy footstep thudding down the hall. They were coming. The guards were coming to take a mutant away again, for more testing, experiments, or more plainly put: torture. She was hoping they were coming to get her instead of one of her sisters.
End flashback
Her eyes started to water at the thought of her sisters, still stuck in that horrid place. Her escapade didn't quite go according to plan, as she was the only one that made it out. The tears threatened to spill.
Flashback
Of course, the guards did come for her, her being the most powerful and most experienced of the four Stone sisters, since she was the eldest at the age of twenty-two. They had to send three guards to retrieve her, she was so resilient. She was a stubborn girl with a lot of fight in her; it just went with the nature of her powers, the element of fire. She could create it and manipulate it according to her will. She had ever since she was thirteen. But she didn't put up a fight today, it was part of her escape plan. She was going to be the weak, submissive little girl that she knew she wasn't and never was going to really be.
End flashback
She almost laughed at the thought of her ever being a weak, submissive little girl. She had never been either one of those in her whole twenty-two years of life, and she was never planning to be one. She was hot-tempered and stubborn, never giving up or letting someone walk all over you was her motto. She was dangerous, stubborn, and hot, just like fire. So she almost laughed, but didn't, for it caused a stabbing pain in her side as she ran past the buildings. She was looking for a certain place, where a man lived that she knew would be able to help her and her sisters, or at least he would try his best. She hadn't managed to lose the guards yet though, as they were mad that they'd been duped.
Flashback
The guards were surprised that she wasn't fighting them as they took her down to the lab, but they just went with it, figuring that she was finally broken and had given up hope of an escape or rescue. Little did they know what she was planning. She shot a glance at each of her sisters as she passed, knowing that she might not see them again if her plan went awry. The first cell contained her sister of twenty years, Haley. Haley had platinum blonde hair, even though it was darker now because of the state of uncleanly ness of their "housing." She was a gray-eyed girl, pretty, but with brains to boot. She was the brains of the bunch. She also had the mutant ability to create and control the air. Haley looked back at her and could tell she was planning something, she knew it but she couldn't accept it. She mouthed "no" to Alex, but Alex shook her head at her. She moved on to the next sister, Marie. Marie was only 19, but already an irresistible beauty, with her chocolate brown hair and striking green eyes, that had unfortunately lost their sparkle due to their confinement here. Marie had the power to control earth. She saw the look in her older sister's eyes, and she knew what Alex was going to do. Her eyes hardened, and she nodded her head, knowing her sister had to do what her sister had to do. They were the most alike, yet they also argued the most, but Alex guessed that that was one of the ways they showed their affection for the people they loved. Marie knew her and her ways of thinking the best. They locked eyes for a few moments, and then Alex moved on. The last sister was the baby of the group, at the age of seventeen. Elizabeth was a blonde blue-eyed beauty. She was the emotional one. Liz could create manipulate water. Together, the four of them had the power of the four elements. She looked at Alex and tears cascaded down her porcelain face as she realized what Alex was planning. They all desperately hoped she would be okay.
End flashback
Well, their prayers were answered and she was okay, for the time being. But they were still there, and not okay. This made Alex want to cry, but she wouldn't cry, she wouldn't show any weakness, that just wasn't her. She was pretty sure she had lost the goons by now, but she still had a ways a way to go to get the help she needed. She didn't exactly know this city real well, and she was going on hearsay for the directions to her friend's house.
Flashback
They entered the lab, and since she already seemed to weak and didn't have any fight, they decided not to drug her, figuring it wouldn't really matter. 'Ha, suckers,' Alex thought. They should've known better. Then, they turned off the power suppressor on her neck, so that they could conduct some experiments on her. But, since she wasn't drugged and was actually fully aware and alert of her surroundings, she was able to beat them. She was strapped down onto a table, but as soon as the scientists left the room to go report to their boss real quick, she burned those straps and leapt to her feet. She ran out of the room and down the hall, careful to avoid being seen. She ran quick, knowing she only had a certain amount of time before the scientists came back and where alerted to the fact that she was missing. She ran down the halls, towards her sisters' cells. But then an alarm rang; they must've known she was gone now. Just as she was about to enter the hallway where her sisters were contained, she was blocked by a steal wall.
"No!" She cried, banging her fist against the steel. But it was no use; she couldn't get to them now. She had to get out on her own, without them. It was the hardest thing she'd ever had to do, but she knew she was no help to them if she just got caught again. So she bolted.
End flashback
And now here she was. On her way to a safe haven, and towards help. She just hoped she'd get her sisters out in time, before it was too late. Finally! She arrived at a rather large house. She ran up to the door and started pounding her fists on it. She didn't know how far behind her pursuers were, so best get out of sight quickly. Suddenly, the door burst open. Unexpected, Alex fell through the open doorway, into the arms of a boy with spiky blonde hair. She was already tired and weak, so she just let him hold her. She was out of breath from running and bout to pass out, but she managed to whisper one word.
"Remy," she said and then promptly passed out in the arms of one St. John Allerdyce.
