Next chapter came quicker than I thought.

Chapter 2- Saving a Life

Adam, Emma and Brennan ran through the halls. Shalimar would be a little behind but they would have to wait for her. Hopefully they wouldn't have any problems. Hopefully.

"Okay, we have to find the Helix," Adam announced. Emma and Brennan nodded but couldn't answer. At least six big men came hurrying towards them and Adam motioned the two mutants to follow him.

As they turned a sharp corner, Brennan felt Jesse tip over to one side. As if he wasn't having a hard time already.

Meanwhile, Shlimar was having the time of her life. Besides fighting just Emily, she was also fighting four other men, in black suits. She just smirked and calmly with grace, came over to them and knocked them down in about ten seconds. Emily, however was a different story. She kept insisting that Shalimar come and fight her and never went down so easily.

"Come on freak. You can do better than that," she taunted. And everytime she would say that, Shalimar's blood boiled, anger rising to a new level of anger.

"Don't you ever call me freak!" she screamed.

"Why have I hit a soft spot. My my, ferals are touchy aren't they," Emily tutted, "oh well gotta take care of you myself." Shrugging Emily lunged herself at Shalimar. Shalimar jumped off the wall and pounced on her and slammed Emily onto the ground. That knocked her out cold.

"Now let's go get Jesse," she muttered to herself.

Brennan struggled under Jesse's weight and grunted. Adam led them down a dark tunnel and Brennan could hear Jesse's head scraping along the wall.

"Oops sorry buddy," Brennan muttered to Jesse, "hey Adam what was that blue stuff sticking out of Jesse when we got to him?"

"That was a poison unlike anything I have ever worked on. It's called Plytome," Adam explained, "if we don't get him back to Sanctuary, he'll die."

"But...but he can't die," Emma spat, "he just can't!"

"That's why we gotta get him outta here," Adam stressed. Brennan shifted Jesse so his weight was even and Brennan couldn't hear his head scraping against the wall. At last, they saw light at the end of the tunnel. Emma cheered and Adam began to jog towards it. Then he stopped.

"That's strange," he muttered. Emma heard him.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Adam looked at them and said sadly, "we've gone in a circle."
