Is it a horrific dream?
Am I sinking fast?
Could a person be so mean?
The Hurting by Tears For Fears-
~*~*~
Eyes taped shut, wrists and ankles bound together, that's the way they found her. Huddled up in the back of the closet, dried blood and human waste matted the blue-green carpet. She startled at their touch, a terrified whimper escaped her lips and she tried to shrink against the wall.
"Calm down, we're here to help you." A calm soothing voice whispered to her then gently took her into their arms.
"Don't hurt me… please don't hurt me…" She whimpered tears somehow leaking out from under the withering duct tape used to shut her eyes.
Her hands were unbound and the tape carefully removed. She cried out in pain from the bright light then sobbed uncontrollably into the arms of her rescuer.
~*~*~
"Someone," Kimla swallowed thickly, "a neighbor, had heard me screaming for help and had eventually called the police."
Logan's eyes had narrowed and his jaw had clenched sometime during her story, her memory.
"He did that to you?" He growled, it was worse than he had thought; her memories of being locked up in that closet were like his memories of being Weapon X.
She nodded averting her eyes to the table, "I was in the hospital for two months then came straight here. One of the policemen was also a mutant and had heard of this place, he's the one who dropped me off here."
"How did it all start?"
Kimla frowned, playing with the sleeves of her shirt, "I was 17 when it happened…"
~*~*~
"Mom?" A girl around the age of six called out from the kitchen as she drew a picture at the counter.
When she didn't get a response she sat down the crayon she had been using and hopped down from the stool.
"Kimla, where's mom?" Lilly frowned opening her sister's bedroom door finding her hunched over a desk with a box of color pencils.
"She went to the store with dad, she should be back soon." Kimla answered without even glancing up at Lilly, who had moved closer to see what her sister was drawing.
"Why didn't she tell me she was leaving?" Lilly whispered looking over Kimla's arm at the picture of a dragon she had drawn.
"Hmm…?" Kimla looked up setting her pencil down, "Oh, I don't know."
Lilly pouted, "It wasn't very nice."
"No it wasn't." Kimla smiled knowing where this conversation was heading.
"Can we go get some ice-cream?" And there it was.
Kimla chuckled climbing to her feet, "Are you old enough for ice-cream?" She joked grabbing her car keys and wallet from a drawer in her desk.
"Yes." Lilly giggled following Kimla out into the kitchen.
~*~*~
"We were only gone an hour. When we got back two policemen were at our door, there had been an accident…"
~*~*~
"Where are you taking my sister!?" Kimla shouted following the officers, "We just lost our parents! You can't split us apart!"
"Kimla!!" Lilly cried as she was put inside the car.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but it's orders." The second officer, a hefty man appearing to be in his thirties, grunted climbing in the car behind the wheel.
"Orders from who!?" Kimla cried watching as the car pulled out of her driveway, the officer shaking his head and her little sister crying in the backseat.
~*~*~
"I searched for her until I ran out of money and had to move in with my boyfriend. By then I had known of my mutant powers for three years, but he didn't…"
~*~*~
Josh dressed in his usual black gothic clothes and make up, strutted down stairs from his room muttering to himself. He paused his ranting as he passed by the couch where Kimla was laying, "You feelin' any better?" He asked taking a seat on the arm of the couch.
Kimla shivered pulling her blanket up to her chin, "Not really," She sniffed then reached for a Kleenex, "My head is poundin' and my nose is stuffy." She mumbled finally snatching up a Kleenex and blew her nose.
"I got cold medicine." Josh suggested.
Kimla shook her head, "Already took some, ten minutes-" She paused closing her eyes then sneezed.
When she opened her eyes Josh was staring at her funny.
"What?" Kimla raised an eyebrow then looked at her hands, they had turned red in fact, her whole body had turned an icy red.
"What the Hell?"
Kimla smiled sheepishly up at him returning to her normal color, "Sorry, guess my mutations kinda malfunctioning."
Josh narrowed his eyes, "Guess so." He grunted standing up then walked out of the room without another word.
~*~*~
"It was a week later that he… he locked me in the closet," Kimla hesitantly raised her eyes to Logan's, "I was in there for four and a half years."
