CHAPTER 2
The alarms sounded through the hub and we all immediately ran to Tosh at the computers.
"What have we got!?" I asked, running over to where she was now frantically typing away.
"Rogue weevil. Cardiff City Centre. Nothing to major but it needs dealing with before anyone's harmed." She explained.
"Gwen, you're with me. We'll deal with it. Owen, keep sampling those bloods for me that I asked for like a month ago. Tosh, keep an eye on him but check the monitors every now and then. Ianto, go grab us some pizzas would you?" I ordered.
Everyone quickly got to work and me and Gwen ran out to the SUV.
It didn't take us long until we were walking to the streets of Cardiff looking for this thing.
We could see a crowd of people outside what seemed to be a pub.
Quickly running over, we dashed inside just as we heard a woman scream. She was cornered by the weevil in the far side of the room trying to protect herself with a smashed wine bottle.
Me and Gwen both took a side of it and in no time at all, captured the dam thing.
Gwen took the woman outside and checked she was ok while I put the weevil in the back of the SUV.
35 MINUTES LATER…
We arrived back at the hub to see Tosh getting the pizzas ready in the conference room; Ianto making coffee and Owen finishing off the overdue blood samples.
I took the weevil down to the vault and made sure it was secure – which it always was – before heading back up for pizza.
I sat down and took a bit, eating it in a few simple bites before having some coffee.
"Mmm…Ianto, you never fail to impress me you Coffee God!" I said, taking another piece of pizza.
"Coffee god? I guess you could call me that…I see no harm." Ianto circumstanced.
"New suit?" I questioned.
"Don't push it sir." He warned.
We all started laughing hysterically before finishing up the 5 boxes of pizza and never-ending cups of coffee.
THE NEXT DAY – LOCATION: UNKNOWN – ELLIE'S P.O.V
I thought they would have killed me by now? What use am I to them?
They've made me do so much; torture me when I refused. They want my powers for assistance – not me. I'm too weak to use them and everything hurts.
Why kill my family and not me?
What have I got that they haven't?
I woke up to the alarms blaring in my ears, giving me a throbbing headache.
'INTRUDER ALERT!'
'INTRUDER ALERT!'
There was banging at my door and I swiftly positioned myself in the corner of the room.
I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them tightly.
I didn't want to suffer again…
The door swung open and a man ran in.
I didn't recognise him. I didn't know him. Why was he breaking in to my cell?
He grabbed my arm, muttering something about escaping. I tried to pull away. The thought of someone touching me gave me the dreaded memories of the torturing. I didn't trust anyone anymore!
The room span around me and the next thing I knew we were in a city.
The man immediately ran off whereas I span myself around; taking in my new surroundings.
That's when it hit me.
These weren't new surroundings.
I knew exactly where I was.
Cardiff!
Home!
After an hour of walking I had finally reached the water tower. It wouldn't have taken so long if I wasn't in the condition I was. I kept getting strange stares and people asking if I was ok.
I would probably do the same if I saw a young girl walking the streets of a busy city looking the way I did. Instead of answering them, I simply ignored them.
I don't know how long it has been for them since my 'disappearance' but it was a good 6 months for me. 6 months of hell.
I went round to the bay and stood outside the tourist centre.
Looking in the water I could see my reflection.
My skin an unhealthy white, my lips a creamy colour. My body covered in blood, cuts and bruises from head to toe.
My smile was broken and my eyes somehow lost.
This is who I was now…
I looked away from the water and stared at my old life knowing this is where I'll end up again in a matter of seconds, minutes, hours or maybe even days.
Taking a deep breath, I turned the door handle and slowly pushed it open.
There I came face to face with Ianto.
His eyes widened in shock as he examined me.
"Ellie?" He asked his voice barely above a whisper.
I would have replied if my body let me but suddenly I felt as though time was frozen. Everything went in slow motion and I lost all senses.
My knees buckled but I never hit the floor. I looked up, fighting consciousness, to see Ianto grabbing me before I lost the battle to stay awake.
You didn't think I wouldn't bring her back, did you?
