So its been awhile and when I read over my last chapter I relies that I really hated it. So I'm redoing it and continuing with the story.
Well hope you all enjoy, please comment and let me know how I'm doing.
So sorry it took so long, but to try and make it up I made a super long chapter, and I am working on the next one to so it should be up in less than a week.
Her head was spinning, so many feelings, so many memories, and the fact that her body was reconnecting with her powers wasn't helping. As the dizzy tornado in her head started to settle, her mind finally chose a memory that Talise would be force to watch again.
It had been a few months since the Warden had started her new game. The agreement was that she would spare all the mutants that Talise could protect. The little mutant was not a fool, there was no way she could protect them all so she had to chose which ones to save. It made her sick, like choosing a new shirt from the store, how could she just pick and choose like it was no big deal. But this was the Warden's intent, to torture her both physically and mentally.
With a loud clank Talise's attention was brought to the guards "escorting" a new mutant to their new hellish home. This time it was a young woman. She had short wavy black hair and a strange helmet. Talise recognized it, it was a helmet made to keep psychic mutants from using their powers, however this one seemed more high tech than the others. The helmet had a bad side effect of making the user unconscious, as one could tell by her limp body being carried but the ruff guards, no doubt they would just throw her in her cell and worry about the broken bones later. With what she assumed was a tougher suppression helmet Talise could think of one thing, for all the extra protection, she had to be dangerous.
As the guards came closer to her cell her heard one of them stumble and crash to the floor. The other guard laughed at his partner's pain, but the injured guard was not amused. Talise decided that fueling his anger could allow her to help her first mutant.
Stupid whore! She pushed me!
And how, oh great protector, did an unconscious woman preform such an act.
Well if it isn't the little tadpole, we heard about your deal with the Warden.
Really.
Yah but she didn't tell us we had to comply. You want some trash to keep in your cell, you'll have to come and get it.
And you think that would be difficult.
Disrespectful brat! I'll..
The guard was interrupted as Talise literally leaped into action. Using her extended tongue she snatched the guard's keys and opened the cell door. As it opened she used all her might to jump from the wall and then made her foot make contact with the guard's head. As she landed, she crouched down and made a sweep kick to the remaining guard, catching the lady mutant before she fell. Talise then jumped on the fallen guard's head, crushing it into the pavement, and with a final leap made it to her cell and used her tongue to shut the door. As the guard's slowly tried to regain their stance they tried to understand what had happened in a matter of seconds.
What happened?
You just got beat by a little girl. Quit easily I must add
But how? You're just some spoiled rich kid!
And what did you think I did in that big mansion, paint my nails? My dad was a powerful guy and he'd be damned if he had me as a liability. Good ol' dad.
With their wounded pride the guards struggled to exit with their wounded pride, one turned to Talise.
Don't think the next one will be so easy.
Doubt it.
With a slim spit shot threw the bars and on the floor, causing both guards to fall, concluded the winner of the day's battle.
At this point Talise tried to asset her new cell mate. What kind of powers did she have, or more importantly was she a friend or foe. With a trembling hand she began to remove the helmet. After what seemed like an eternity her eyes began to open, and two bright blue eyes greeted the world. As this new mutant tried to compose herself, Talise tried to gather what little clean water she had.
Where am I?
(Talise chuckled) That's original. But to answer your question, you're in Hell's Birth.
The mutant concentration camp?
You know this place?
What mutant doesn't? This place is as famous as hell itself.
So how did you get here?
I was preforming at this comedy club, after my act I was walking backstage when my head started throbbing, like someone was stabbing my brain.
Sounds like they used a jammer.
A what?
I've never seen one, but I've heard the other captives talk about it. Its a device that jams physic powers and makes it easier to capture them. Once they have you they put on this collar and helmet to prevent you from using your powers.
Just then the wounded mutant noted the metallic collar around her neck. She noticed a dented tin cup in a corner and tried to move it. The little cup could have been a boulder for as much focus she needed. After it rocked slightly it finally rose and glided to its master. A stun Talise followed with her eyes as the cup floated threw the air. With a childlike curiosity and wonder she followed the cup, as if some mythical force was making it fly and if she looked close enough she would see it.
Wow.
What?
I've just never seen a real telepath before.
Really? Well then I'm honored to be the first to show you. By the way my name is Olivia, and if you don't mind me asking how old are you.
Six, i've been here for two years. My name is Talise Tolensky
Not even before you came here?
(with a fallen look on her face, Talise made her way over to the cell door, to hid her teary eyes)
My father sent me here right after I got my powers.
Really? How old are you?
I'm six, i've been here for two years come September, if it hasn't passed already.
Olivia was in a state of shock. For a child to be so young and to be a prisoner was one thing, but to be raised here at such an innocent time was another.
And where are your parents, are they around here?
no...my mom's dead.
Oh. oh I'm so sorry. And where is your father?
Once the word left her lips, she knew she had made a mistake. The entire row of cells fell dead silent, the only sound was of bodies moving in their cells and trying to get away from Talise's. Talise was by her cell, her back to Olivia and her hands on the bars of the cell door.
My father. My father ….betrayed me. He sent me here after I got my new powers, and after he...he...KILLED MY MOTHER!
As she spoke her final words, Talise began to glow green and ripped the cell door from the wall and threw it threw the back of her cell. Once the smoke had settled a giant hole could be found in both the front and back of their cell. At first Olivia was even more shock, a mere child had freed them from their prison. Her next instinct was to make a run for it.
No point in running.
What?
There's no point in running. They put this prison in the middle of an island, so far from any other land mass that even if you could fly or teleport, you would die from exhaustion before you reach shore.
Olivia saw the distance in the young mutants eyes. The distance that can only be created from pain, form betrayal, or from losing all hope. It was truly heart breaking to see one so young and lose so much.
And how do you know this?
I asked and they answered.
And they just told you?
The Warden and her men are very proud of their operation. They believe they have broken all the mutants here and that they have won.
And what do you say?
I'm a child, I never lose. And if for some odd reason I do, I never do so gracefully.
Jester couldn't help but to laugh. An instant thought of the guards and Talise playing a child's game, with Talise leaping with the joy of victory and the guards crying from defeat.
As Talise made her way to the hole that lead outside, she noticed a convoy of trucks passing.
Be right back. Do try to stay away from the hole.
With that she leaped out of her cell and out into the light.
Jester tried to stand and after a few failed attempts found her balance along the wall. She then followed it close the the gaping hole, breathing in deeply the fresh air from outside. Her mind was still as she imagined her freedom, and how little she appreciated it till only a few hours ago. With a loud screech her mind was torn from its peaceful thoughts. With a loud the cell gate that had been thrown out fell back in and near its original position. After the gate, creates began to fly in one after the other. After the fifth had landed Talise returned. As Jester tried to speak Talise raised a finger, indicating to give her a moment. She launched her tongue out into the opened area, and with a strain to her head pulled back. Within a few seconds a giant metal contained came forward, wedging itself and sealing the hole. She then walked forward and open the metal door.
Are you OK? Sorry about the bumpy ride but you're safe now.
Who are you talking to?
Our new roommate.
With a trembling hand, a young man emerged from the cell. He was stickily skinny man, with skin like maple and long black hair that covered his face.
so there it is new chapter all done. Hope y'all like it and like I said I would love some feed back, I can't tell if I'm doing good or bad unless someone tells me. And I will try to post a new chapter in a week. Next time we meet Alex and maybe some of the other Sacred Seven members :D
