I have to escape. This place was driving me to madness. The same routine. My body couldn't take it anymore…I smelled like the sewer still and my breath was seriously rank! I swore to Xeruse I wouldn't use my powers, but God forbid I be trapped in this hell for another day. Extremes had to be taken… don't they? I braced myself for the explosion that would come. I focused my energy and targeted the blue tank's wall. I winced, the pressure burning my hands.
"Agggghhhh!" I moaned softly. The smell of burning glass shattered its way through my concentration. The beeps grew more frantic and I could hear the Seeker trying to push its way through the bugs to reach my room. I shrieked and closed my eyes as the glass broke, sending a shrill alarm out. I dropped, gasping. Power surges drained me. I heard shrieking from the other side of the door. Time to go. The Seeker burst in followed by Greasy Hair Guy. His mouth flapped open in a seriously unattractive way. I would have snickered but the Seeker was closing in, a tranq gun in her hand. I looked at her, my eyes turning all pupil. You don't want to shoot me. You want to let me walk through those double doors. I told her. Her eyes widened, confused. She was resisting. She snapped back into focus.
"Mind control? Really?" She sneered. I stared at her, willing her to put it down. She stared at me, not willing to oblidge to my commands. I glared at her, frustrated. Mutant freak. Greasy Hair was slowly inching his way across the floor. Lay down, mutant! I snapped at him. He stopped, the threw himself on the ground. The Seeker stared him, eyes wide. She looked back at me, determination set deep in her eyes. I sighed. The tough ones were always the easiest to break. They focused so much on not letting you get to them, they released their mind to you. I stared at her intently. Hmmm. This one wasn't budging. I was so focused on the Seeker, I almost didn't notice her tranq gun. I swerved just in time.
"Nice try. But I guess you won't miss this one!" She smirked, her gun shooting so fast I almost missed it. I felt a sharp pang in my thigh and the world went hazy…
