Illusion 3

Sarah steeled herself before walking back into that room. She wasn't sure how she was going to do this but she had to. She walked into the cell and they turned to glare at her. "I need you to come with me," she said. They stared at her and ignored her. "Guys come on," said Sarah. They turned away from her. "Very well have it your way, guards" said Sarah. Two huge guys walked into the room. "Bring Simms with me" said Sarah. She used the coldest voice she could summon.

The boys stepped between the guards and Tyler. Sarah sighed so they wanted to play that way did they. She reached into her pocket and flipped a switch. The two in the front, Pogue and Reid screamed and grabbed their heads. Caleb yelled at her to stop it. "Then step aside," said Sarah. Caleb glared at her. "Caleb its ok I'll go with her" said Tyler he sounded scared. She turned off the device and the boys were gasping for breath on the floor.

"Tyler" said Sarah. Tyler swallowed and walked forward. The two guards grabbed his arms and dragged him from the room. Sarah followed the boy out of the room. The guards led him down a hallway. The guards stopped in front of a door and Sarah keyed in a code. The guards pushed Tyler forward. "Thank you I'll take it from here" she said. She led Tyler into the room and closed the door. Tyler stayed by the door glaring at her. The room was empty except for a table.

"Tyler please sit down," said Sarah. He glared at her and leaned on the door. He didn't know what was going on but he was determined not to cooperate. Sarah took out the remote and glared at him back. Her finger poised above the switch. "You won't do it," he said. Thinking he was calling her bluff. Sarah flipped the switch. Tyler fell to his knees and screamed. She left it on for a few seconds then shut it off.

"Tyler sit down" this time she said it like a command."Bitch" he hissed through clenched teeth. She reached for the switch again. "Go ahead, kill me I don't care but I'm not obeying you" he stated defiantly. Sarah walked closer and kneeled down next to him. "Did that hurt?" she asked. She knew it had but she was trying to goad the boy.

He looked at her in defiance "you know it did" he said. "And I suppose you want to hurt me back for it" said Sarah. "Damn strait" he hissed. Sarah had her hand on the back of his neck. She inserted a small specially shaped key and the collar released. "Now's your chance' she said and stood up holding the collar up within view.

His hand reflexatively went to his neck and found the annoying collar missing. He pulled on the power and his eyes went black. A second later she was hit with the desk. The blow knocked her into the wall. Sarah shook her head and stood up. "Is that all your going to do?" she said teasing him.

He responded by looking pissed off then he threw the chair at her and the desk again. Using it like a club to smack her into the far wall. She shook her head and tried to get back up. "We trusted you," he yelled. "Caleb loved you, how could you do this to us?" he yelled before fling a ball of energy at her. She hit the wall harder than before and went unconscious for a second. Her body was bent at a weird angle. Tyler froze; she wasn't getting back up this time. "Sarah?" he said. His anger was rapidly dissipating in favor of fear. He was worried he had killed her. He walked over to her and noticed one of the chair legs was sticking out of her side.

"Oh shit, hold on Sarah don't die on me please," said Tyler. He ran over to the door and started banging on it frantically. "Help I need a doctor Sarah's hurt help!" he screamed. The door opened and two armed guards aimed weapons at him and ordered for him to step back. The doctor walked over to Sarah and knelt beside her. Then he grasped the chair leg and pulled it out with an unceremonious yank. Sarah sat up with a gasp.

"You ok" asked the doctor. "Yeah I'm fine," said Sarah. Tyler was standing off to the side under heavy guard. The doctor let her stand up. "Do you still need a few minutes?" he asked. "Yeah I need to talk to him," said Sarah. The doctor waved off the guards and ushered them from the room then followed them himself.

Tyler walked over to her. He was in shock, he wasn't sure what had just happened. "Sarah?' he said. "I'm all right Tyler," she said "I could have killed you," he said. "Yes well maybe are you still mad at me though," said Sarah. "A little but not as much as before" he answered honestly

Sarah nodded "are you ready to cooperate without this?" she asked. She held up the collar "as far as that's concerned you can throw it away" said Tyler. "Good I hate them anyways," said Sarah. "Then why did you use them?" he said "some methods are much more crueler" said Sarah "now we have some paperwork to do and then we'll get you your new room said Sarah.

"Sarah how long am I going to be here?" he asked. "I don't know but I was here a year before they let me out" said Sarah. "You were once?' said Tyler. "Yes, but I'm what would be considered a senior here which means I get to recruit" said Sarah. "Now I just have a few questions and were all done here," said Sarah

He answered her questions and was led from the room to a cafeteria like place. That was when he realized that they weren't the only ones here. Sarah went back to the boy's cell and pulled Reid out next.

Reid was a lot more destructive in his anger and it took her a few minutes to snap the bones back into place after a well-placed blow broke her neck. After calmly talking afterward and another question and answer session she sent him to where they took Tyler.

Before she went back and took Pogue out of the room next, she planned on leaving Caleb for last. Because that was one that would hurt the most emotionally.

Pogue took an awful lot for her to goad him into attacking her. It wasn't until she told him he would never be able to see Kate again did she get some sort of response. Which turned out to be more explosive than Reid's had been.

After he was done she actually needed the doctor to pick wood pieces out of her hide. Pogue wasn't calmer until he realized that she was all right and that he hadn't killed her. He even apologized to her for hurting her. She told him she understood. After all she had once been in his shoes. After he answered her questions she had him led to where Tyler and Reid were.

Then she took a deep breath and got herself some water and new furniture for the fourth time today. Then she took a steadying breath and opened the cell door. Caleb came out on his own but said nothing to her beyond asking where the others were. She answered with a clipped "safe" the guards led him to the room and Sarah walked in. the guards closed the door behind him.
