Lauren had been in the cell with the three other girls for two weeks now. There was no point in conversation, Marissa never moved and occasionally drooled. Virus seemed mentally insane, because she would smile randomly and laugh. Amanda sat starring a hole in the wall all day. Lauren spent most of the time trying to bite the beeping bracelet off. Nothing happened. She often paced in the cell; it was basically a concrete box with a mirror on one side. Lauren often suspected that the mirror was a one way window. She was desperate at the end of the first week and had been bashing at the walls and screaming. By the end of the second week she had resorted to dreaming she was back at home with her mom and brother before… no she couldn't think of that, she wouldn't think of that. Just at that moment Marissa twitched. Virus was up in a flash, screaming her mouth off, Lauren could hardly hear herself.
"Get over here, moron," Amanda mouthed and beckoned her. Lauren walked over quickly. "This is it, we escape or die now," Amanda said loudly in Lauren's ear, her eyes were bright, it was the only emotion Lauren had ever seen her show besides anger.
"How? All Marissa did was twitch," Lauren told her back.
"Idiot, did you not notice she's the only one without a bracelet? We wake her up and make her angry, she break us out," Amanda staring at Marissa as the girls eyes fluttered.
"Is that why Virus is screaming? To wake her up?" asked Lauren, pumped that they were going to escape.
"No moron, she's screaming so the guards won't hear me tell you the plan," Amanda said slapping Lauren on the back of the head. Lauren rubbed the back of her head and gave Amanda a dirty look. Lauren's blue eyes had shone bright when Amanda told her the plan. Lauren ran up to the mirrored wall and started to run back and forward in front of it. Her arms up in the air and she was singing twinkle, twinkle little star. Amanda ran around the room attempting to block the cameras.
Marissa twitched and her eyes slowly opened, "Uh, what happened," she said shaking her head to clear her thoughts. "Mum, Dad… How could you give me away!?" Marissa screamed, her eyes flew open filled with rag. "You, you, bastards! You, you, I hate you!" the once sleeping girl yelled. Virus smiled she could hear a storm brewing outside. Marissa's eyes turned black and her hair flew up. There was a crash and then boom. A lightning bolt hit the side of the building. A fire broke out. The fire spread quickly and more started. A tornado started at the east of the building. The wall collapsed at the side of the cell and a fire spread into the room. Marissa was floating in the middle of the cell her eyes still completely black and wild storms appearing at random. Lauren saw chaos everywhere; some of the workers at the building were on fire, trying desperately to put the fires out. Virus stood giggling like a maniac and she ran up to the fire. Her eyes glowed bright green and then she stuck her right arm in the fire. The fire burnt the metal quickly and Virus broke it off.
Virus turned to the other three; her arm burnt badly, "Yes! I'm free, finally." She winced she stared at her burnt arm, it was melting. Her arm turned into a black goo and dripped to the floor. She smiled and beckoned for it to come back. The goo moved! It slid across the floor up her leg. When it touched her skin her arm merged back perfectly back into place. Virus turned back towards her cell-mates and smiled evilly and looked at Laurens disgusted face and Amanda's slightly disturbed looking face, "Sorry, I really don't know how to use my powers."
"Like any of do! How the hell are we going to get out of this place," Amanda said bending over to burn her bracelet off.
"No idea," Lauren sticking her arm in the fire as well.
Virus walked over and looked at the two and smiled her evil smile, "We'll get some help from others." She stuck out her arms and the turned to goo again and she touched the wall, the wall opened up revealing a hall.
"Wow, how did you do that?" asked Lauren knocking her bracelet off.
"I told you, anything I touch I infect I can control it," smiled Virus. Just then eight guards ran down the hallway and noticed the escaping prisoners. They loaded their guns and took aim and fired. Virus turned around and saw the bullets come. She just smiled and turned her whole entire body into the black goo. She materialized a second later.
Lauren concentrated, "Bring the heat into my body and build it up," she thought bringing her arms up. A blast a fire shot from them, it burnt two of the guards and they fell to the ground unconscious and soon to be dead. Lauren stared her hands, wow!She didn't know she could do that.
