Chapter 4

Following her daily ritual Elle walked into the cheerleader's room with her lunch in tow.

"Hey pom pom" she said as she sent a small shock to her unsuspecting victim.

Claire had become used to Elle's random attacks however she was still yet to become accustom to the feelings that followed the small volts.

"Nice to see you as well Elle"

She walked over to the table where her lunch lay and stood next to the older girl.

"Oh wow Elle you made me pasta how thoughtful of you"

Claire sat down and picked at her lunch with a fork before trying it. It didn't taste bad she was beginning to get used to the prison food she was served daily.

"Yeah well I was walking by the dumpster outside earlier and I seen that hanging out and I thought maybe you might like it so I took the cat fur off and heated it up for you, hope you enjoy it"

Claire couldn't help but laugh she was sure not even Elle was capable of such deceitfulness.

"Don't laugh cheer squad I think you just swallowed the hair ball I forgot to pull out"

Elle walked over to Claire's bed and lay down. You could almost say the two were beginning to form a silent agreement of friendship. Claire turned to face the resting girl that lay on her bed. She noticed that her shirt had lifted up revealing her stomach as she pulled her arms over her head. Her stomach was flat and tanned and you could see that she had the sculpted abbs of a trained agent. Claire shook her head of the daze that had overcome her.

"What did they do to you yesterday?"

Surprised that Elle had taken an interest in her Claire answered her with the happenings of the previous day.

"They shouldn't be allowed to do this sort of stuff to us it's not fair" Elle was speaking quiet as if she was half in a dream.

"Elle we were given these gifts to help people we must make sacrifices in order to help out" Claire couldn't believe she was defending the people keeping her captive but Mohinder had got to her yesterday and she was determined to use her powers for the greater good.

"What's got into you? You like it here?" Elle sat up and furrowed her eyebrows at the girl opposite her.

"I've been making scarifies my whole life what has anyone got out of it apart from pain, I'm a trained killer Claire this company doesn't want me to heal anyone. There are two sides to this place and we're on opposite ends I'm the bad destroyer and you're the fix it girl."

Claire knew she didn't really want to be in this place and realised maybe she was a little overcome with the thought that she was making a difference, but why was the older girl bad mouthing the place where she chooses to work and live?

"If you have such a problem with the place why are you here?"

"Just because my door doesn't isn't locked doesn't mean I can leave here, I'm just as trapped as you are"

Elle slumped herself backwards on to the bed again putting her hands over her eyes. It was at that moment that Claire realised that deep down both girls had a common goal. They both wanted out of this place maybe they could pull their heads together to get out of the facility.

"Let's get out of here"

The simple words grabbed at Elle's attention snapping her body back up again.

"Are you crazy?"

"Come on you don't want to be here as much as me and its easy, you have access to everywhere in this place"

Elle thought about it for a moment.

"Where would we even go? I have nowhere and you would just run back to your family which would be the first place the company would expect you to go so you'd just get caught again and I'd just be.... alone again" Elle trailed off with her last comment looking towards the ground.

"If we get out of here we'll stick together. It's your chance to redeem yourself for all the bad you've done you don't have to be the executor anymore Elle join my side and I promise I'll take care of you"

There was sincerity in Claire's eyes even the socially inept Elle could see that. Although neither of the girls were ready to admit it they both were growing fond of the company of each other.

"I'll think about it" Elle got up and walked out the door leaving Claire to eat her lunch and ponder how she could convince her older counterpart to leave this facility and start a new life.
