8 years later...

Sapphire was sitting in her bedroom, well, if you could call it that. The room was more like a prison cell with its dirty grey concrete walls. The room did have a bunk bed, a desk with a lamp, a wooden bookcase and a coach. That was about it. None of it was very fancy but she could survive. Outside, there was always at least two guards to make sure she didn't escape. There was no window in the room either.

When she was seven, some people from a secret company for training mutants and humans, (perfoming experiments on them), LADON, had taken her from her home and brought her to some sort of base. She never knew where she was as no one ever told her. LADON always moved her around alot so there really was no point in learning where she currently was.

Each base had a different layout.

Each base had a different training facilities.

Each base had different punishments.

Sapphire now had numerous cuts, bruises and burns on her body from the times when she had accidentally missed a target or had been hit by a surprise attack from behind. She also had a few cuts from when the scientists took her blood to study.

She had experienced them all. Each base had an obstacle course, a gym (where she also sparred with various trainers), a school (consisting of just her) and maybe a couple of bedrooms.

She knew she wasn't the only kid there. The reason for the bunk bed was in case another person had come at an unexpected time and they just had to shove them in. She had only met one girl at her whole time at LADON. The girl was also a mutant. The one thing that Sapphire could clearly remember about her was her metal claws. Two on each hand and one on each foot. The girl had been part of a close organization to LADON.

HYDRA, was it?

Sapphire fell onto the bottom mattress, crossing her legs. Even though she had learnt that LADON did kill and were cruel, they were rich. Therefore, the used their money well. She closed her eyes and tried to remember the week that she and the clawed girl had spent together.

13-year-old Sapphire was sitting on the coach, reading 'The Last Vampire: Black Blood' (1). She was supposed to write up an essay about the book, but also see how the character would plan her attacks and her reasoning under pressure.

The metal door swung open.

Instantly, Sapphire dropped her book and took a fighting stance. LADON sometimes came into her room and the most unexpecting times and attacked.

But it was a blond woman in a white lab coat carrying a sleeping girl. Sapphire relaxed as the woman placed her on the bottom bunk.

"She's stayinbg here for a week." the woman said very simply.

The woman turned and left. Sapphire could remember very clearly the word on her back: HYDRA.

She stared at the girl. The girl was about the same age as her and had dark brown hair. She was wearing a simple black tee-shirt and shorts.

Sapphire tried to remember what the girl's name was. Didn't she say she didn't have a name? Sapphire could have sworn that she had given the girl a name.

The girl's eyes fluttered open.

She sat up and analysed the room with her green eyes. Her gaze met Sapphire's.

She jumped up ready to attack, when Sapphire backed away, arms held up in a surrender. The girl growled and stepped closer as Sapphire stood her ground.

"I won't hurt you, if you won't hurt me." Sapphire reasoned.

The girl's face seemed to relax, but only for about a second. She went closer...and started sniffing?

"Erm...What are you doing?" Sapphire questioned, a very confused look on her face.

The girl instantly backed away.

"Sorry," she mumbled. "I was just taking in your scent." Sapphire raised one eyebrow. The girl rolled her eyes. "I have super-sensitive senses. Namely hearing, sight and smell. I also have this." The girl raised one arm. She closed her eyes and groaned in pain.

*SHINKT* (2)

Two metal claws shot out from the top of her hands

Sapphire's eyes widened.

"What...? How..?" Sapphire asked

The girl retracted her claws.

"Weapon X. HE'S the reason for this. HYDRA trained me up, never letting me do anything but train. HE took my life away. I got these when I was 10. They still hurt. Scientists perfomed experiments to me. I'm only a weapon to them." The girl growled. She looked away.

"They gave me an adamatium skeleton." The walked back over to the bottom bunk and sat down. Sapphire followed, sitting next to her.

"So, I'm Sapphire, what's your name?"

"Don't have a proper name. HYDRA 'made' me. I'm a clone."

"I'll just call you Laura then! So you have no parents?" Sapphire touched her pendant that she always wore. She didn't notice herself but Laura did.

"No. You?" Laura asked, curiosity in her eyes.

"LADON killed them."

They sat in silence for a while. Laura poked Sapphire in the side. Sapphire looked up and saw Laura smiling.

"I'm going to escape one day. I will find who did this to me and make them perish. Then I'll come back for you. We'll both escape and be free. I promise." Laura said, sincerity in her voice.

"Who knows how long that'll be!" Sapphire snorted.

"Before we're 16. I have good memory." Laura smiled. She had just made a friend.

Sapphire opened her eyes. Her 16th birthday was tomorrow. Maybe Laura hadn't managed to escape. She was determined to escape by herself. She had tried a number of times before, all had failed. But this time, she had a plan. LADON had put a collar on her so she was unable to use her powers, so she would just have to manage without them for now.

Sapphire thought of what facts she knew:

1) She was going to be moved to another base tomorrow

2) Throughout the transfer, she would not be able to use her powers.

3) There were only going to be two guards

4) They were going to be both male, and only a year older that herself.

Sapphire had grown up to be a very beautiful and intelligent girl over the years. Her blue eyes had a special sparkle to them and her golder hair had grown out, just slightly past her shoulders now. It was silky and smooth. She sometimes flirted with some of the younger LADON guards who still didn't know they were not supposed to talk to her. She had used this to her advantage and had tried to escape. There was always some sort of flaw though. This time, she knew what to do.

(1) Ok, so I'm sort of gothic and if you like supernatural books, I recommend you read this book. It's The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike

(2) Crappy sound effect...

A/N: Waffle points to anyone who figured out who the girl is! I made sorta obvious so...

I would have uploaded chapter a couple of days ago but my grandma's in hospital, I'm off to see her now! Bye!

...

Damn! I forgot something!

Review please! :D
