The Warehouse
The drive to the warehouse was long and filled with questions that I had no answer to yet. There is no word that can describe this feeling of dread that I have in my stomach. You would think that I would be happy that I had found my brother at last, but there was something that didn't seem right. Maybe it was the fact that this is the first thing I have done entirely by myself in over a year. A year ago I would have taken everything in my stride, but now it felt wrong to be doing this by myself. But my brothers safety is more important then a silly feeling in my stomach. I had just pulled into the drive to the warehouse, when another one of those waking dreams happened again. This time it was of the warehouse. It was more of a memory then a dream. I saw my sister being dragged from my brother's arms and the men throwing my brother into the wall. The men dragged her away while she screamed for my help. I then saw myself curled up on the floor shaking from the blast of electricity that they had shoot at me. Then my brother looked directly at me, me, not the younger one and said, 'Turn back. Don't come here or you will not make it out.' Then it all disappeared and I was in the same place on the road that I had been when I had that vision type thing, or whatever it was. That feeling of dread that I had in my stomach turned 10x worse, but I was still going to go in there to get my brother. It didn't matter if I died in the process. "Sorry, Jordan, but I'm going to get you out of there." I parked the car in a place that was hidden from sight from the road. I got out and slowly and quietly walked over to one of the broken windows. I found a box to step on and looked into the window. Nobody was there. So I decided to go in. The door was half-open. I didn't risk opening or closing the door the rest of the way just incase there was someone here and I lost the element of surprise. The building was as silent as the dead. There were boxes piled up by one of the walls, and almost all of the windows had at least 1 or 2 holes in it. The rest of the place was pretty open. There were stairs leading up into the next level which looked pretty bare to. I decided to explore the rest of the rooms in the warehouse. I didn't want to break the silence in the building, in case this surprised the people who had Jordan captive. I climbed up the stairs quietly, there was dust everywhere and you couldn't really set your hand anywhere without disturbing it. Just has I had turned around to look over the edge of the railing, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the ground floor. There was a doorway in the middle of the floor, there where no rooms surrounding it and there was nothing in back or in front of the door. I started to cautiously make my way back down the steps. When I reached the ground level, I charged my power and at a moments notice I was ready to shock anyone or anything. When I was about 5 steps from the door, it slowly opened. There was a creaking noise, the door stopped moving when it was more than ¾ of the way open. There was no one there, just a room of darkness. Slowly, has if on que, it started to grow lighter and lighter until you could just make out the outline of two figures standing in the doorway. They started to slowly walk out of the room. When they stepped out of the room I knew instantly whom these people where. They where the same people who had taken Jordan in the beginning, but these people didn't look a day older then I had last seen them. Both where about 6 feet tall and bald. They had a very muscular build and looked like they could seriously hurt you if they just flicked you with one of their fingers. After them came out a group of younger men who didn't look so dangerous. They didn't have any weapons; they weren't carrying anything at all. The men where in a circle and seemed to be gathered around something. They slowly separated and I could see who was in the center of them. It was Jordan. He was tied up and bruised. "Jordan!" I hadn't mean to say anything, but seeing him for the first time in years had more of an effect on me then I had expected. "Brennan, why did you come? I warned you!" Jordan said quickly, but a blow from the man quickly silenced him at his right side. He cringed and fell to the ground. One of the two huge men spoke up with little emotion in his voice, "Are you prepared to exchange yourself for your brothers safety?" I looked into my brothers eyes has he looked at me. Jordan was slowly shaking his head and mouthing for me to leave when I still could. There was no way in hell that I was going to leave now. "Yes, I am. But untie my brother know, and let me see him leave before I go with you." "Fine. Let the boy go." He told the men. They roughly cut the roped around his wrists. When they were done they shoved him toward the door. Jordan looked at me has he left. His eyes where begging me to make some attempt to get out of there. But if I did anything now then they might kill him. Two of the men came over to me and put handcuffs on me. They also had a bucket with them. It was filled with water. They poured it over my head. They knew what they where doing. I could have easily shocked them and ran toward the door if they hadn't put water on me. Know that option was gone. Jordan was already halfway out the door. Then my nightmare began. One of the huge men, the one who hadn't talked at all, took a gun out of his pocket. He aimed it at Jordan and shot directly at his heart. He had already shot the bullet before I could do anything to stop him. Jordan crumbled to the floor with blood forming a pool around him. "JORDAN! JORDAN! You lied! You said if I came with you then you would let Jordan go unharmed. You lied!" "You didn't really think that we would let someone has special and has stable back into society so he could destroy our project by exposing us, did you?" The huge man said. He lifted his hand and waved at one of the men. The man walked over to my brother and knelt down. He laid his hand on his neck to check his pulse. "He's dead, sir." I couldn't believe this. I wouldn't believe this. He couldn't be right. Jordan was not dead. "NO, JORDAN!"
Emma had been in a trance for over an hour trying to find where and what Brennan was doing. One minute she was calm and the next she was shaking and crying. We tried to comfort her and bring her back to conciseness, but she wouldn't do it. Then her eyes opened and she screamed has loud has she could. "NOOOOOOOOO!" End of chapter 4 PLEASE REVIEW!
