Water ran through the pipes, the hissing sound of the water system being turned on, water flowed from the tap head, swirling around the basin before it heads down the drain pipes.
Hands interrupted the flow of the clear refreshing water. These hands were brought up to a persons' face and splashed over their face, a female face. She brought her hands down and rested them on the basin edge. She stared at her reflection in the mirror before her. Her breathing just beginning to soften after running from eastgardens to home, Where no-one was present at this time. She thanked god for it, but cursed him at the same time for the curse bestud apon her, the curse of being different, of being one of the 'other', others considered dangerous to future 'human' generations.
Green bloodshot eyes reflected in the mirror stared back; a look of total fear filled them. She blinked slowly, drawing her gaze from the reflection of her face.
She stepped away from the water basin, grabbing the hand towel that hanged next to the water basin, Drawing it towards her face, wiping off the water and tear stained cheeks.
Sighing heavily she released her grip from the hand towel, making it fall to the floor knowing it was no use putting it back on its hook. 'I need to get away from here' she thought with desperation. She knew all to well her family would never accept her now, even all their family friends were against mutants, she had no one to go to but she had to get away.
Quickly and without heist she opened the bathroom door, stepping out she shut it behind her. Looking down the hallway for the last time. Turning away from it she walked the other way, towards her bedroom, this would be the place she'd miss the most, her dreams were created in this room, knowing now they would never be fulfilled.
She took out a duffel bag, packing pairs of pants and tops, underwear, bras, and also including other essential things, like money. Finally she quickly changed her clothes, into something a little less professional, so she changed into her only black skin tight leather pants, and a loose fitting long sleeve crimson top, showing some of her curvious body. Finally tying back her waist length hair into a large bun she slid her bag over her shoulders, on her way out and grabbed longlife tinned food, which she knew would have to last, cause she'd most likely have to get rides from people to get away from...here.

Walking sadly through the streets, Trying to avoided as much human contact as possible. Stray tears ran down her pale cheeks, she was scared of the unknown, having no where to go, and to just walk and see where it takes you.
"Hey you!" a voice called from behind, clearly male.
It startled her, she couldn't remember anyone following her, or anyone else around for that matter, so instead of looking back she quickened her pace.
"OW! R U Nemika?" the voice questioned.
Nemika glanced over her shoulder. She saw a blonde haired man. No-one ever called her by her full name, not for a long time...fear boiled inside her...who was this man...but she didn't wait around to ask, on her pure instinct she...RAN!
Pushing herself faster and faster, as fast as her legs would allow, Slowly her lungs started burning, she clenched her eyes, tears flowing freely now, she bit her lower lip then opened her eyes....
A fist meets her opened eyes. Blackness engulfed her instantly as unconsciousness took over
-- "Man, she runs fast!" the voice said, shaking his palmed hand, which had knocked the girl out.
The one chasing her came to a skidding stop huffing and puffing.
"You almost lost her!" the other man blurted out bluntly
"It wasn't my fault. She panicked...so..." the blonde haired man tried to explain through huffs and puffs.
"Yeah Yeah, whatever. Lets' just get her to the boss before we get fired... and I mean literally" he bent down to Nemika's lifeless looking body, and carelessly swung her over his shoulder.
Both men heading towards a nearby black van, windows fully tinted.
He tossed her in the back, and made his way to the drivers' door, hopping in he started the engine. The blonde hair man hopped in the passenger seat. They both headed out of the alley.

The trip to Sydney airport was quiet; neither of them spoke to one another.
As they pulled into a smallish plane hanger and lerjet plane was parked there, pilots ready in the cockpit and the stairs outstretched, with a male waiting at the top.
Both the men Stepped out of the van. The dark haired man opening the large side sliding cars door where Nemika was still laying, unconscious.
He leaned in and grabbed her, again Swinging her over his shoulder, yet this time, more carefully cause their boss could see them clearly now. Both strode towards the boss.
"Here she is..." the dark haired man announced
Their boss grinned... He looked like a stick figure...he simply looked like skin and bones, pale...pale skin, much like an albino, grey eyes flickering in the bright lights.
"Perfect..." he said his mouth thinning and curling into an evil grin "...put her in the cage" He ordered pointing his Bonney finger to an open hatch.
"Yes sir!" he said, Heading over to the open hatch that his boss pointed to, he placed her inside it carefully, for he could feel his bosses eyes burning into his back.
The blonde haired man climbed the stairs and followed his boss inside. When he was about to be seated he turned to the boss "What's she for anyway?" he questioned.
He grinned again, "I shall inform you...But not now..." he told the blonde haired man, and headed for the cockpit "start the engines pilot..." he ordered.
The pilot nodded swiftly and switched the planes' engines on.
The Dark haired man, who had put Nemika in the hatch, Quickly locked it and raced up the plane stairs, also pulling up the stairs air-locking it also. He walked to a seat and buckled himself in.
Everyone was seated and ready. The lerjet pulled out from the hanger...with the sky clear and a go ahead by the air-traffic control center they made their way into the sky...west-bound.

(Australian desert)
They had landed over an hour ago, and where now in a hidden and secret underground base of operations...The boss gave orders that Nemika be locked up in a cell until further notice.
Nemika Stirred slightly, moaning softly as her body rejected wanting to move. She lifted a hand onto her face, and cringed in pain, an ugly looking bruise had formed around her temple, where that man had punched her. The last thing she remembers was a large fists...then...blackness...and then now. She rolled over on her side, finally forcing her eyes open. Her vision was blurring at first but cleared moments later. Her muscles tensed when she noticed she was in a cell...a prison like cell.
"Hello?" came a soft sweet voice.
Slowly Nemikas' eyes searched for the voice... "Hello..?" it came again. She only noticed a tiny crack...then she saw one blue eye...clouded over...sad...
Slowly Nemika forced herself to sit up, much to her body disagreeing. She screamed in pain and held her stomach.
"Are you new?" the soft voice asked shyly.
Nemika nodded slowly.
The girl on the other side bit her bottom lip "What's your name?" she questioned.
She looked up to the eye that was staring at her, "what's it to you?" Nemika questioned bluntly.
"Oh..." the voice paused "sorry...I...I was just...."
"Nevermind." Nemika said "its Nemika...or Nemi" Nemi finished flatly
"That's.... A.... Nice name" the voice stuttered, a smile present within the girls voice. "I'm...." the young girls voice paused and heisted "...Kate...or Katie..." She paused again. "And...and if there wasn't a wall here, I'd shake your hand" Kate said lightly.
Nemi half-smiled "Nice..." she cringed again as she tried to move closer to the wall. "To meet you..." Nemi finally finished after a few moments. "Where.... Am I?" Nemi questioned
"An underground base..." Kate said flatly "...of torture" she finished her voice painful.
Nemika and Kate happily talked for hours...Nemika finding her way next to the wall...Yet Kate was the one who talked to most...for Nemi didn't like sharing too many things with others.
Heavy Footsteps could be heard, Footsteps of soldiers...in boots came towards their cells, Kate stopped her chattering happily...or half happily. "They are coming!" Kate said her voice shaky.
Nemi looked out of the cell bars and waited to see who exactly was coming. Soon the footsteps were identified as two soldiers with automatic weapons came into view and stood at Nemikas' cell.
She looked at the men's' faces, their mouths curled into an evil grin, making her shudder.
"Get up mutie!" the one on the left ordered....
Nemi Froze...that word...she gasped.... Her muscles had frozen from fear...or was it shock.
"NOW!" Yelled the man on the right.
The men grew impatient with her, The one on the right walked into her cell and grabbed Nemikas', now loose flowing waist length hair. He drew Nemikas' head near his. She could feel his cold breath on her ear "I SAID GET UP!" he yelled in her ear...
Nemi Shut her eyes tightly at the soldiers loud voice...She was then dragged out from her cell by her hair...Nemi's heart bounded in her ears...
"No.... Let her go!....don't...." Kate screamed out as Nemi was dragged away..." Please...leave her..." Her voice full of desperation and fear of Nemikas' life being in danger...Kate then began to sob...her cell buddy now gone...most likely forever...she had been here so long without anyone to talk to...then only after a few hours they take her away...
Nemika was dragged for what seemed like miles to her, but was much less, only a couple hundred meters. She was then slid across the ground, she slid was stopped by her back meet with a person feet. She rolled onto her back and looked up at what had stopped her. Her green eyes meet with ones of grey...such coldness...she shivered as she mans mouth curled into a smile and chuckled evilly...almost as if he wasn't.....Human....
