FLASHBACK CHAPTER! YAY!
Dekka's eyes flew open; she could hear shouting- gunshots pinging on the lab's walls. She had been here for God knows how long since the barrier went down to reveal a whole different world… Everyone had expected to be with their families- to go back to their normal life. Dekka would have been happy going back to Coates and being bullied for the fact she liked girls- it was a world away from the FAYZ, literally.
She automatically started fighting her restraints, hand cuffed to the bed on both wrists with thick plastic things covering every inch of her hands- she hadn't been able to even bring her fingers together for weeks.
The door burnt off, the lock and handle along with part of the door frame melted and the thick metal door fell inwards as Sam kicked it. 'Sam!' He melted the hand cuffs and pulled her to her feet, dragging her out the door.
Dekka ran after him, through the corridors- she heard people shouting and shooting, getting closer now. 'Astrid!' Sam yelled as they came round a corner to see Caine and a shaken Andrew stood over an unconscious Astrid. 'What happened?'
'One of the guards Taser-ed her' Caine signalled to a uniformed man that appeared to have been smashed into the concrete wall, hard, by an invisible force also known as "Caine's power"; Dekka made a disgusted sound at the mush-man.
Sam shook Astrid till she opened her eyes, the shouts were very close. The teens all started running, Andrew and Dekka still had plastic tape or whatever around their hands and as they ran, Dekka tripped and wasn't able to stop herself- handless. The guards rounded the corner and started shooting, Dekka scrambled to her feet- everyone else was going to make it, 'Crap!' back to the cell for Dekka…
That was when the darts flying through the air at her stopped and fell to the floor- Caine quickly helped her up. Dekka hadn't ever, ever known Caine to stop and save anyone- but Diana- ever. As they ran he handed her a penknife, intending to help her but she snatched it off him- after he cut free her left hand - and ended up cutting herself.
They all made it outside, into a car with Edilio driving- she noticed a cut on his arm that was bleeding a hell of a lot more than her hers as Caine bandaged her hand. Then Caine searched for something to stop his wounds bleeding, Dekka was shocked having seen the first selfless thing Caine had ever done, ever…
