I'm back. This is my third chapter today. I'm on a writing spree! Well I'm not sure this will get posted today, but it's three. Hahahaha! Here I go!!!
I don't own the X-Men! I don't, but I want to! I wanna, I wanna, I wanna!!! ~lol~ I'm such a baby for these guys!
We all had traded off for the bed and it was my turn. Jamie hopped up and sat next to the bed, staring at the cell across from ours. I reclined and stared at the ceiling. This was better than the floor I guess. I started daydreaming, if that was possible in a situation like this. I guess…it…was…
"Madison?" came a voice from next to me. "Leave me alone in my reverie," I mumbled still in a trance. "Madison, they're handing out food. Aren't you hungry?"
"No. I'm good. Go on." Whoever talked to me had left. I was alone. "Hey! You in there, come here and get your food!" I sighed, didn't move, and closed my eyes. "Hey! Are you ignoring me!? Get your ass over here!" I still didn't move any. And did not respond. I was grabbed by my arm and lifted off of the bed with force. "Hey! Let me go!" I called as the officer dragged me from the cell. He pulled me down the hallway and into a small room with tables. "I said, let me GO!" I kicked in the air and yanked away as he let me drop. I fell to the ground in a heap and he stomped away. "Bastard," I muttered under my breath. "Madison! Are you okay?!" Pietro called dashing over and helping me up. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's cool. Thanks." He beamed and walked me to a table. "Hey speedy! Sit down and leave her alone!" Another guard called from the front of the room. "I can't help my girlfriend up off the floor after she was thrown down by one of your inconsiderate bastard guards!?" he spat back. I turned beet red as he told the entire room we were dating, and sat next to Kurt. Pietro eventually sat down and finished his food. I didn't eat.
After we ate, we were all led back to our cells, and left there again to sit. We all used the bathroom in the time we had to eat, so we all decided to sleep. I let Kurt have the bed next, I didn't want to lay there anymore. Instead, Rogue and I sat against each other's backs so that we wouldn't have to lie on the floor. Tabby slumped against the wall, as did Bobby and Jamie. It was a sad sight to see everybody like this. I hoped that we would never have to do anything like this again. Even more, I hoped that the mutant "problem" wouldn't be a problem anymore and we could all be equal. What a dream…
It was dark in the room when I woke up. I felt sick. I was going to be sick. "Excuse me," I choked out. "I need a toilet! I'm going to be sick!" I called again into the darkness. "Please," I tried to hold back, "I'm going to be sick!" I heard footsteps coming down the hall as I leaned against the could steel. "Please…hurry." The kind lady from earlier approached and unlocked the door, and I slumped down. She held me up as we dashed to the restroom. As I reached it, I ran in and retched. Ugh, I hate this feeling…
"Are you okay dear? Do you need anything?" the lady asked. "I'll get you a towel," she said after I didn't respond. I retched again and coughed. Then I sat up from over the toilet and gagged. "Gross…" The lady returned and handed me a wet towel. I wiped my forehead and then my mouth. "Thanks," I managed again. "It's nothing really dear. Now, I'll put you in a separate cell with a sink okay?" I nodded and she led me down the hall to another cell with a sink below a window. "Thank you," I said again. She shook her head. "It really is the least I can do. I'm sorry for all of this." I nodded and lay myself on the bed. "Goodnight," she said walking away. She didn't hate mutants at all.
I heard shouts as I woke up the next morning. They belonged to Rogue, Kurt, and Pietro. "What did ya do with Madison? Why ain't she here!?" Rogue called. Kurt was freaking too. "Please, vhat did you do vith her?! Is she okay? Vhat haf you done vith her? Iz she hurt!?" Pietro was talking in his normal fast paced voice, well maybe not normal, but fast, so I couldn't understand him. I stood on my bed and tried to peer over the top of the cell. "Guys! I'm fine! Cool it! I got sick last night and I got moved in here." Whoa, I didn't even notice before that these cells only went so high. Weird…but anyway…
"Madison? You're okay?! Why did you move!?"
"I told you, I got sick, so I got moved to a cell with a sink!"
"Oh, good. We all thought something had happened to you," said Tabby in a sarcastic voice. "Aw, thanks for caring Tabitha." She made to reply but…"Oh would you all just SHUT UP!?" a guard called from the next room. We all sat and were quiet. I went and washed my face, then looked in the grimy, tiny mirror near the sink. I sighed at how much more pale I looked this morning. It was gross. My face looked sunken with the shadows of the light. My clothes smelled, my hair was matted, and my makeup smeared. I breathed in the fresh air streaming in through the window and smiled. That was the plus to this morning, and to this cell.
"What time is it?" I called through the bars of my cell. "Eleven thirty five," came Kitty's voice. "Thanks Kitty," I said with a smile. "No prob." I thought we could leave today? I heard a thwacking noise coming from a few cells away. I listened to it for a moment until a voice chimed into the noise. "Come on! I thought we could leave today!?" Tabby was at it again. And she had the same idea as me. She obviously was running her water bottle up and down the bars, like in old police movies. I started laughing, and others joined me. She moved the bottle faster and tried to annoy the guards with her constant droning. The professor and Logan both stopped her. "Stop that right now!" they both roared. We all stopped. No more of that. I heard a guard or two chuckle at our funs demise. I flipped the finger to nobody.
"Alright, you all can go now." a male guard said coming down the hall of cells. I stood up and smiled, we were free! Damn that sounded stupid. I stood at the bars until they were opened. "Go to the checkout office and you will al be given your new ID cards.," he instructed. I ran out to the others and hugged Pietro. Kurt was ecstatic that I was okay. He took this family thing way too seriously. But I smiled and assured him I was fine. We all walked in silence, except Amara and Tabby who had to prattle, and came to the checkout office. There, we all got our ID cards. "These will serve as your state ID's as before. They will also be used when you apply for a drivers license. The same symbol will appear on those also. You may go now. Oh, and we have a CD player here that was confiscated from a young girl." Tabby ran forward and snatched it from the officer's hand. They went right on her head. She had her music. Thank god. Well, since we were brought here, Kurt and I took turn porting other students and instructors home. When we all were home, I finally got a better look at these new ID cards. They were the same except for two things. At the top corner, it had a red circle with a large M in the center. M for mutant I guess. And at the bottom of the card, in huge, bold red letters, was the word MUTANT.
I liked that chapter. It's fun to read it over and over after you're done. I liked it more and more as I typed too. LOL well that's only me. Lets see your thoughts! Even if they aren't positive. I DON'T MIND! J
