Chapter 27
Tears
It was time... before Lara were the steps of fate... the wood steps that led to the rope that would let her dance in the air. The rope... it was more of a snake. Hissing... She didn't want to come closer, but the guards behind her with their guns pointed at her back, ready to fire into her at any kind of false gesture guided her along. up the steps... and there the snake waited... swinging back in forth through the wind, as those beyond the snake whispered and pointed...

In the living room, in front of the television was the only place to be. On the screen was a "News Special"... but special wasn't the word they would have used. The first mutant ever to be given the death penalty through use of their powers was being sent up the stairs of the platform. Her hands tied in front of her, and wearing the gray uniform of a prisoner.
"I can't watch," said a voice of a girl, who left soon after, tears spilling out of her eyes.
Bobby's eyes weren't glued onto the screen like everyone else. Instead he was looking to the ground, listening to the details given by the reporter. He didn't want to see the girl... the guilt would overcome him. Bobby knew deep inside that this girl did nothing that could have been avoided. She could have been attacked and had to defend herself... she could have even just lost control or something... something...
"Lara is approaching the top of the stairs. If you look behind her you will see that she is heavily guarded to make sure she doesn't attempt escape using her abnormal abilities," spoke the reporter to the camera.
"Abnormal...," Bobby whispered to himself...

Lara stood on the falling platform. The snake had caught her... it was constricting around her neck. It grabbed her... it would choke her until death separated them... and even after that the burn of the snake's body would remain on her corpse.
The guard who put the rope around her neck backed away slowly and Lara knew her time was almost up. She took a good glance at the surrounding spectators... all solemn. Why would they want to come watch this? Her death... this just wasn't humane...
But then again, when she said this before they made it a point that Lara wasn't human. She was a freak...

Five miles away from Lara was John and his comrades.
"I can't believe this... we could get killed! Like Bryan..." Natura mumbled.
"Quit complaining!" Samira told her, clutching onto her un-sheathed knives.
"As long is Bethany can freeze we'll be safe," John said looking at Bethany who breathed in deeply. "No pressure or anything."

BLINK...
Blink was on the move. Callisto had ordered her to go to Lara's aid. Why? Callisto owed someone from a previous battle a favor.
Storm. An X-Men, managed to defeat the great Callisto. Normally when you defeat the leader, you become the leader. But Storm denied the position. When she contacted the Morlocks, she asked in return for Callisto's position that they come to rescue the mutant girl charged of murder.
But Blink was running out of time.

Lara stood looking at the people. Suddenly the floor gave beneath her. She fell... but before the ropes slack gave in, something else happened. Everything around her stopped. Even the rope. Even her thoughts...
Bethany and the others walked quickly up to Lara. She was frozen.
"Get her down," John told Samira, who immediately started to levitate to Lara. She cut the rope with her knife, but since everything was frozen Lara remained in the air.
Samira was about to grab Bethany when... BLINK... BLINK. A girl with violet tinted skin appeared on top of the platform holding Lara in her arms. A teleporter. She stood Lara on the ground.
"Thanks," Blink replied. "If you wouldn't have froze her she would have been a goner."
"Who are you?" Bethany asked... which was a mistake. She lost her grip on her power and things began to move again.
The sound if guns firing was the only thing that was heard next. John looked into the eyes of Lara... It was then... when he saw the death in her eyes that he knew that he wouldn't be able to ever forgive humans for this. For the death of an innocent girl... Tears where the only words John could make...

A/N: This chapter gave me some major writers block, so I decided to blow it off and move on to a more interesting next chapter. Hope you guys can forgive me. I'll admit it shows immaturity in a writer.
