GOING TO THE ZOO

Ah didn't get very far before the sentinels were on mah tail 'gain. Ah got as far as New York when they came upon meh. Ah fought the first couple but then Ah knew Ah had ta get far away from these things and hide out or Ah don't even stand a small chance, and even that is a longshot. It was like we were playin' 'round the world for a while, but Ah didn't know where Ah was when Ah landed anymore, but that was the last thang on mah mind. Ah ran behind some buildin's and behind a clothin' store Ah found this green cloak, so Ah put it on, hopin' Ah wouldn't beh spotted bah any humans that saw meh tryin' ta escape from the flyin' tin cans. But as Ah was runnin' Ah accidently bumped inta one of them humans. Mah hood flew back and he saw mah hair.

"She's over here!"

Great, just what Ah needed. Ah stood up and knocked him in the head with mah gun and took off runnin' 'gain. People were either runnin' from the scene or starin' and takin' pictures. Ah ended up cornered bah some sentinels, Ah don't know how many, at this point Ah was just runnin' on adrenaline and fear. Ah shot at them, but Ah was only able ta slow one of them down, so Ah flew up ta knock one out when something hit meh from behind and knocked meh back down. Before Ah knew it Ah had a collar 'round mah neck. Ah looked up and the sentinel opened his mighty hand and layed meh out with some gas.

Ah woke up tied ta some bed by mah wrists and ankles. After what felt like forever a woman came in wearin' a white lab coat lookin' all business like with her hair in a bun, glasses on the rim of her nose and a nice smug look. So Ah decided to be a lil' vicious. Ah growled.

"What'cha want wit me! Wait 'til Ah get mah hands 'round your scrawny neck."

"Now now, lets not be hasty...Rogue is it. I am here to run a few simple tests on you. That is all, nothing too painful unless you make it that way. Now, I am informed that your mutant ability is turned on through human contact...touch. Is that correct?" Then she pulls this key out of her pocket and takes the collar off'a meh.

Ah just growlled again, trying to scare her a bit. She is not going to get anything out of me. Haven't Ah been through enough. If nothin' else, at least Ah can put some of my trainin' Mystique gave me threw good use for something in this pathetic excuse of an interrogation.

"Wanna test it?"

"And you cannot control it, is that correct?"

So I just laugh, Ah want her to think Ah'm crazy she is not about to get information out of meh. Then Ah ask, "What'cha ya want from lil old meh?"

"Do you have any illness or special problems that you are aware of?"

Ah just laugh again and growl out mah reply. "Sure sugah, mental illness just runs straight threw mah family." Then Ah laugh a little more to unnerve her.

"Alright then, you seem like a good canidate for Section C. Guard!"

"Yes ma'am."

"Take the subject ot Section C. Oh, and I do believe she is a fighter."

So they dragged me kickin' and screamin' to this Section C and threw me inside. Just as soon as Ah was inside my collar fell right off. The room was dimly lit and there were bunk beds all across the walls. Then over some sort of intercom Ah'm told to keep walkin' through the door at the end of the room. So Ah go out of curiousity and Ah open the door and walk through only to see darkness, all except this huge window. A window with people staring at me like some sort of animal. Ah am in such shock Ah don't even notice people around me in the shadows until one walks up and touches my shoulder. Ah turn to see three blue furry fingers on my shoulder and the face of a blue furry demon with yellow eyes. It's Kurt. Ah can't believe it. Ah gathered him up in a hug and Ah didn't wanna let go.

"Who else is here Kurt?"

"Not Anna."

"Where is she?"

"Safe, they found us two months ago, but some of us were able to sneak out and I found some friends I knew I could trust."

Ah let out a breath Ah didn't realize Ah was holdin'.

"Other than that, there are many of us. They use us for experiments, nothing to painful, most of the time, but mostly so the humans can look at us."

"This is sick."

"I know meine schwester." (My sister)

"Ya'll haven't been able ta escape?"

"We are constantly watched, and our powers don't work in certain areas. They have something in the walls."

Then he brings meh ta a corner and we sit down on a rock. Ah'm lookin' round and Ah notice they made this room look like we're outside. That's when Ah also notice something familiar. It's pretty dark in here and Ah notice two burnin' red eyes starin' at meh concealed in a shadow. Ah jump right back onta mah toes and yell, "You!"

He comes outta the shadows and smirks, "'ello, 'gain chere."
