Disclaimer: ok, ok, I think you should have gotten the picture by now, but I still do not own anything. Suing me would not be worth your time, as I am dead broke.
A/N: Yes, I know I promised to update and I didn't. Bad me! Bad! I've been really busy. Well, not really, but ya. I'll try to update more often until this story is done (The ending is fairly close guys, so heads up!)
P.S.:OK, I fixed my spell-check, so this chapter shouldn't have to many spelling mistakes, ok?

Opal followed Peter down the dingy hall, but they had only gone a couple of steps when he stopped. He pressed his head against the bars of another cell.
"Jen!" he hissed, "Jen, are you awake?" A girl of about seventeen rose from a tangle of sheets at the far end of the cramped room.
"Now I am!" she said groggily, "But ... how did you get out?!" Peter grinned.
"This is Opal," he said, "She's here to help."
"Actually," Opal corrected, "The whole building is probably looking for me. I just escaped myself from the upper levels." That alerted both of the teen's attention.
"You what!?" they cried in union, then Jen carried n by herself, "No one has ever escaped from these cells, let alone the high-security ones they have upstairs!" Opal shrugged and set to work on Jen's Lock. By this time, their whispers had awakened a few of the other people, and curious faces appeared at about six or seven cell doors. Opal undid each of their locks in turn, and was introduced. Peter and Jen didn't know the farthest people, and the farthest people didn't know them, so it wasn't just Opal that was getting introduced.
The first few after Peter and Jen came easily. But the girl at the end refused to come.
"I'll stay here, thanks, " She said stubbornly. She had a turned up, prissy little nose that made her look stuck-up, "You go, and die, but I'll stay here." Opal tried to persuade her. She gave in finally, after all eight of the other prisoners were freed.
"Come on," Opal said, opening her door. She grinned and ran past the group shouting
"Escape! Escape!" at the top of her lungs. "Guards!" she shrieked. For a moment, Opal thought that being loud was her mutation, but she was actually telepathic. A tall girl named Meg was the first to react.
"Run!" she screamed, "There's a door along here somewhere!" The group bolted. Idiot, Opal thought, Doesn't she realize that if she's out of her cell, they'll blame her just as much as they will when they catch us? That last thought gave her an all-new spurt of energy.
"Wait!" a boy named James called from the back, "What about the two new ones, that got here just a day or two ago?" The whole group stopped. "They're in a different hallway," He continued, "I know where they are, but I can't work the lock."
"I'll come," Opal said, "You guys keep going. Run as fast as you can. Get as far away as possible."
"There's a wood over there," Meg stated, staring straight at the wall, "We'll meet you there, ok?"
For a moment Opal wondered how she knew. But with one look into her golden eyes she knew how. Meg could look through walls.
