"What the hell is that?" Brennan said sliding back up the wall to his feet and squinting his eyes.

"Feel like running Bren?" Emma said with fear in her eyes.

"Not really" he said grabbing his side again. "Feel free to run and leave me here but I wouldn't get very far otherwise".

With that all three just stood in terror and silence looking down the dark tunnel. Thorne contemplated running, but it only took him a second to decide his chances were better sticking together.

A man in a muddy white apron covered in blood was running and screaming at the top of his lungs. Brennan began to form electricity in his hand in self- defense mode.

As the man spotted the three he began to scream pleading. "Oh God, please help me. Please don't let it get me. PLEASE!"

As the man ran past them, Emma hit him with a strong psionic blast, sending him flying.

Approaching rapidly behind him was a women with glowing red eyes. Brennan shot out his volts at her. She jumped up high dodging the stream of electricity and turning sideways landed on the roof of the cave. Her eyes shot a darker red as she began to crawl on the ceiling in a swift manner.

"Oh Shit!" Thorne said staring up at her.

She did a flip and landed directly in front of Brennan. Brennan swung his arm at her. The women that appeared feral caught Brennan's arm only to growl at him.

"Oh Shit!" Brennan said.

The women used her other arm to push Brennan supernaturally backward fifteen feet, knocking him done flat on his back and leaving him out of breath.

With out wasting anytime, Emma sent the thought of fire to her causing her to growl even louder and cover her face with her arms.

Thorne used his telekinesis to pick the women up and bang her head on the ceiling of the tunnel repetitively. After blood began to pump violently from her fractured skull, Thorne dropped her.

The man who was screaming in the first place crawled up to the women and pulled out a filthy knife from his back pocket and stabbed the women five times in a row.

"What the hell are you doing? She isn't getting up dude." Thorne asked the man.

"Mmmmaking sure she's dead." the man replied.

"No one is going to live through all that" Brennan said as he walked slowly over to the commotion rubbing his temples.

"Iiiiiii must make sure" the man replied. "Damn cannibals" he whispered to himself.

"Sir, do you mind telling me where the hell are we?" Emma asked the man.

The man wiped the blood from his blade onto his pants leg and placed the knife back into his pocket. "How long have you been trapped here?" the man asked.

"Not even a day" Emma responded.

"Wwwwwell Miss, I have been here for months and with experience here I can tell you we are in hell aaaaaand there is NO escape!"

Writers Notes: Thanks to the few who actually have been reading my story. I know it is getting long. I was going to end it with Mutant X escaping Thorne and him getting away, but I decided what the hell, I will make free time at work heehee. Now that this new plot is going I am going to have to drag it out more chapters, but thanks again for reading and I am always open to throwing suggestions into the mix. And for those wondering where Adam, Shal, and Jesse went, I thought it pointless to talk about them from here on, because bluntly, what the hell can they do for Brennan and Emma?
