I smile as Lily sits humming while running her fingers through her long damp hair, a strange little smile on her face, I can't help but find the irony in the situation! I mean come on, a group of people have taken two souls who we're innocent in their own rights, pure and then destroyed all sense of that virtuousness, only to throw them together as new broken, corrupt versions of what they were, but still completely compatible!
"What's so funny?" asks my cellmate, I didn't realize I chuckled aloud
I just shake my head lightly "this, all…this!"
She seems confused for a moment but then her expression turns blank, empty as she looks to the window of our cell. I turn and find a guard with a military haircut, blue eyes and a cold smirk, gawking openly at the girl; he blows her a kiss and walks away, neither breaking eye contact until the others out of site. The same man has been coming to the cell every day, he just watch's her and does some action that in any other situation would seem affectionate.
I look at Lily as she releases a restrained breath "he's new, I'm guessing you know him… it's him isn't it? That's Rogers!"
"Don't worry about him! ...how are you feeling today?" she says quickly, we both know she means my ability's, about how long it'll be now to getting out!
After what had happened the day they beat her, I have been fighting off the effects of the drugs more and more, now, feeling my ability's back in my control we wait patiently, soon they'll open the door, and we'll just walk out! . . . Well we may be covered in blood and running, but at least we'll get out!
I give a coy smirk "never better! What about you, how are you healing?"
She comes over and joins me on the cot, resting her head against the wall, putting her bare feet onto my lap "well it's not hurting anymore, most the bruises are gone, cuts are fading. I think the one by my eye will scar though!"
I stretch my hand out and ghost it over the cut "seems probable!"
Its then I smell it, the gas seeping through the vents and into our lungs, Lily quickly lifts her shirt over her face, filtering the air as I pretend to pass out, truth is the gas has stopped working for a while now, I just needed to gain the strength of my ability's back, I'm not at me peek, but I'm strong and I'm getting us out!
The door opens and two guards step in, guns firmly in hand, as the good doctor leans down to inject me I quickly use my telekinesis to throw him and the men across the room, making them drop the guns in shock as they hit the back of the wall.
"Now, Lily!" I shout and she quickly darts out the room as I take her hand.
I easily navigate us through the halls and run to Angela's office, I quickly run over to the computer and put in the name of the man I've always believed to be my father, I need to now. As I do so Lily ravages the desk, picking up a pencil and smiling in delight. The alarm blears loudly though the building as I absorb the address onscreen, when I look up I see Lily scribbling furiously on her palms and then places the pencil behind her ear.
We enter the corridor only to start running, suddenly Lily stops and turns on her heel, only to face Rogers holding a gun shaken, sweating, scared, but still wearing that overconfident smirk "always knew I'd get you eventually!"
I snarl as he speaks to my companion and go to simply kill him, but the dark haired girl raises her hand in protest "you've always wanted me, haven't you Rogers? Well here I am… come get me!"
I look at her in shock, she takes a step closer while cocking her head to the side, what the hell's she doing? The guard, Rogers has a shocked triumphant smile on his sickening face. As they come into inches of each other, Lily quickly pulls the pencil from her ear and stabs him in the chest.
The man crumbles as she backs away; he reaches for his fallen gun, holding the pencil that rests in his chest "crazy bitch!"
She stands impassive as she looks down upon him "you once told me that drawing pretty pictures on a page wouldn't save me from you, guess what Rogers… I never needed it to!"
Suddenly his face I covered in shock and his eyes with frozen pain as trails of black travel up his and across his face, crawling into his mouth, nose and eyes, his scream falling on deaf ears while the remaining drawings on his flesh bubble into a liquid, burning him outside and in like… acid!
"All I needed was the pencil!" she smiles callously
She turns that smile to me, holding out her hand "let's get out of here!"
I return her smile, taking her small fragile hand in my large strong one and we run off to the hills however as we reach the exit Lily stops us again.
I roll my eyes as I turn to her in annoyance "what now?"
She says nothing, just raises her scribble covered hands with that same malicious smile and turns, placing them on either side of the walls, drawings of liquid followed by flames sketched down the long corridor walls, flickering to life.
She turns with a twinkle in her eye, beautiful and bright with a giggle falling from her lips as she skips over to me "now we can go!"
She skips past me and I run gleefully after her as I smile, when I reach her I put my arm over her shoulder and ask "so, was it the rush of a roller-coaster or the thrill of doing something naughty?"
She circles her arm around my back as she smiles up at me, her lips are sweet, plumb scarlet, no longer the pale chapped lines they once were "kind of a mix actually, there was the rush of the first drop and the thrill of knowing I shouldn't, but it was more than that it was…."
" …Freeing!" I finish for her and she giggles
She nuzzles happily into my chest humming a familiar tune was we walk content and briskly from the burning building, the light guiding us through the dark, the screams echoing as the harmony to Lily's song. I can't help but hum along with her, we're free, she's free, my friend and I.
