Saved By the Yell
I put emergency items like money and clothes inside a small backpack that I had brought with me on the trip to D.C. and waited until the hallway was mostly clear.
When I didn't hear as much commotion any longer, I ran to the nearest staircase and descended like my life depended on it.
I didn't really know where I was supposed to go, but I knew that I couldn't stay there anymore. I wanted to call my parents, but I was afraid that they would reject me.
Everybody knew about a secret school for mutants somewhere in New York, but nobody knew for sureā¦at least I didn't. My parents always changed the channel when Mutants who claimed to be good came on the television.
As I exited the staircase at the bottom of the stairs, I ran to the receptionist who seemed surprised by my sudden appearance.
"Where's the nearest train station?" I asked breathlessly
She looked at me suspiciously, "Where are you going, where is your class?"
I didn't have time for questions. I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but I'll just tell the taxi to take me to a train station. I booked out of the hotel really quick.
I waved my hand frantically, "TAXI!" I yelled. Three drove right past me, until the fourth one stopped.
"The nearest train station" I said in a rush.
"Can you pay, kid?" The taxi man asked. I pulled out the wad of cash and the credit card my dad gave me for the trip. That seemed to answer his question. He stepped on the gas.
As he was pulling away, I saw a five MRD soldiers heading back into the hotel. My heart rate picked up.
"I have somewhere I need to be. Drive really quickly please," I said as I threw two $100 bills in his direction. That seemed to motivate him.
Even though we were far from the hotel now, I worried that the receptionist would give my whereabouts away. I had asked her where the train station was.
"Drive faster, please," I asked again.
"I'm tryin, kid," The taxi man said again. When I saw the train station in sight, I threw a fifty at him, and decided to make it on foot. I ran in the train station and cut the line that was already formed.
"Hey!" people were beginning to say, but I didn't care. I knew if the MRD got their hands on me, I would never get out of that building again.
The line was so long, because apparently people were trying to get out of the city because of the terrorist attack.
"New York" I said to the clerk behind the glass. She raised an eye at me for cutting the line, but otherwise obliged.
"Trains about to leave," She said. "To your right" I didn't have time to say thanks, I just ran and ignored the annoying looks that I was getting from the people around me.
As I stepped into the train, the doors behind me started to close. Just in time, I thought to myself.
I sat down on the seat, and my eyelids became very heavy.
When I awoke, the intercom was blaring New York. The tree hour ride had left me feeling numb and very stiff. I got out of the train and immediately y felt a sharp sting on the back of my neck.
"Ow!' I exclaimed. My vision started to turn fuzzy. I saw in my peripheral vision a man in a suit with the letters MRD.
I was really stupid to think that I could get away from them. I had already lost before I even began my escape and it was blatantly obvious now.
Then out of nowhere, there was this high pitched scream, like a siren, but it was more because all around, glass started to break, the people who were watching on as the MRD were coming to collect me, cowered and covered their ears.
Wind came out of nowhere and blew the soldiers back. Suddenly there were arms around me. I fought against my heavy lids and saw a red headed women carrying me.
"Siryn, Put her in the car," The other girl said. She sounded a lot younger than the red head looked.
The red head I assume is Siryn put me in the car and the other girl got in the back with me.
"I'm Sofia," She said to me. "But you can call me Wind Dancer-" I blacked out after that.
A/N: Whatchu all think of it, please leave any requests and or comments about what you thought about it.
