Hey all, I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I'm sorry that this chapter is going to be a bit shorter than I had hoped because I got the wonderful flu and have not been out of bed for a few days. I feel better now but I was unable to write any significant amount. I hope enjoy the bit I have written so far. Happy Holidays.
Luv,

Chapter 13
As the blackness began to fade from Corina's mind, she slowly entered the world of conscientiousness with a blinding pain in her head. Slowly Corina moved her hands upwards to lie across her head and she rolled onto her side. She had to trouble sorting out the event prior to her waking but soon the memories come flooding back. She silently groaned as she tried to open her eyes but the lights only made her headache worse. She muttered curses under her breath as she rolled onto her right side to stop the nauseous feeling. Corina was surprised that she felt this bad considering it was only a knock out gas. The last time she had felt this sick was when she first started her witch training. It was common for witches to get sick when they first used their powers because it was a new experience for their bodies but that had been years ago. Before she could concentrate more on her illness, Corina heard a voice from behind her. However, she was having trouble making out the words that were being said. She rolled over onto her other side to see who was speaking. All she saw at first was a red and purple mass but that was all she could make out until her eyes focused. After the voice stopped Corina was finally realized that the figure was Magneto. "What did you say? I couldn't quite hear you before." Corina looked on with dazed vision and a weak voice as she looked at her captor.
"What is wrong with you? The gas shouldn't have affected you that much." He mumbled more to himself than to the young mutant. He turned around and left because he was positive that she would be in no state for interrogation. Corina saw the red and purple blob go away and drifted back into a dreamless sleep.
A few hours later, Corina awoke again and felt much better. Still a little weak from the sickness but the worst of it had past. She dragged herself out of bed and made her way to a tiny adjoining bathroom. She splashed water on her face and made her way back to the bed. This was actually the first time that Corina was able to look around her little cell. It had four metal walls with a bed and two doors. One door lead to the bathroom and the other one lead to her freedom. She stared at the door as if she would be able to burn a hole through it and run away from this place. After Corina stared at the door, she averted eyes down to look at her rumbled clothing that she had worn to school that day or how ever many days she had been kept here. Her sweater and her black pants were rumbled but that was not the only thing she noticed. Corina lifted her wrists to see two new metal cuffs that griped against her forearms. She closed her eyes and concentrated on transforming but found that she was unable to do that. Corina just smirked as she realized the purpose of her new 'jewellery.' However, Corina knew that this would not stop her from freeing herself. Slowly, she slipped two of her fingers from her right hand underneath the cuff on her left. She concentrated on her shield and after a bit of pressure, the metal cuff slipped off her left wrist. Corina repeated the process with her other arm. She rubbed her wrist roughly to regain the feeling in her wrists but smirked at her success. For now Corina decided that she would not transform. She was suddenly startled when she heard a rustling outside her door. Her head snapped up as she saw the door slowly open.
Cliffhanger...hehehe. Remember to review.
