The Forgotten

by Maxineride818

Max and her Flock weren't the only kids whose lives were corrupted by the School, but they were the first to fight back. This is the story of four kids who followed in their footsteps with a single goal in mind; to be free. (Updates whenever someone reminds me because I'm horrible at sticking to a schedule, gay characters of both genders)

2. Chapter 2

I know this one is short too, but trust me, longer chapters are on the horizon!

Michelle lay beside me in a cage, and I try to reach out to her. It had been so long since I had seen any of my friends, but her absence had hurt the worst. "Michelle?"

She barely stirs, eyes cracking open to reveal a bruised face and broken lip. She sits up with a groan and we both begin tearing up. "Amanda?" She reaches her hand through the bars and I grip her hand tightly. She sends an overflow of emotion through the small link, unable to hold back her powers at the moment. I reach my hand to cup her face, healing the wounds as my hands burns, a little less this time. She looks a little surprised then immensely sad. "What did they do to you? Are you okay?" I hadn't established any powers when we planned the escape, so she could only guess what they had done in the absence.

"I'm fine, this was preprogrammed." I give a small smile, not mentioning the other experiments they had done. She sighs and I try to keep the knowledge from leaking over the empathy link she held open.

"Thank god."

"Where is Reid?"

"Safe" We both knew never to talk about anything they could use against us in here. It had been our downfall last time. I glance over as Sam begins to stir in his sleep. He sits up fast, obviously dazed and very worried.

"Michelle!"

"I'm over here! Amanda is too, she survived." Sam blinks hard and his vision comes into focus, causing a grin to spread.

"Oh thank god! We thought you were going to be killed after they caught you! What happened?" I restrain a wince and pull my hands away from Michelle so she doesn't try to find out.

"Nothing pretty, but I lived and I'm fine. What landed you two back in here? I thought you were never coming back once you got out." Michelle and Sam share a look at my deflection but Michelle pipes up.

"We came back to get you. We had a plan," she glances at the cameras, "and it failed." My mouth drops in shock before I close it with a snap.

"You seriously risked getting caught to come back for me?" The staid look in their eyes told me no lie. I focused on not tearing up like a little girl. "Thank you …" it came out as a whisper but they heard.
