Mia
The next morning I sat by Cole at the Dining table.
"When I was in Section 7, the staff member talked to you when I was done. What's that about?" I asked him in between bites of sushi.
"You did better than expected." he answered before biting into his yogurt.
"Nobody else has done that section yet," I argued. "What results were I supposed to get? Why are they putting me in different Sections than the others?" I asked all at once.
"We were testing certain skills that we believe you have, be prepared to do some more different classes."
"Okay then." I concluded, even though I had a lot more questions, I knew that he was starting to get frustrated.
This morning I really wasn't feeling well. I think that Raidon had gotten me sick.
Halfway through breakfast I felt like throwing up. So I got up from the table not saying a word and went to my bathroom. I threw up all of the food I had just eaten and layed in bed. Not too long after I had gotten into bed Dani walked in.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"I'm sick. I threw up, a lot. Pretty much all of my food." I told her.
"Have you notified the staff with your watch yet?" She asked me. I was just about to do that.
Our watches make us check in everyday, it has the choices sick and healthy. This was my first sick day here.
"Done." I said just as Dani's wrist beeped. This was going to be so boring. I did feel bad so I slept for a few hours.
After that I was feeling terribly bored. I know that every two hours, unless called upon, nurses or staff came into my room to check on me. It was about 3:00p.m. That means that it's power practice. Most of the staff would be helping with whatever the lesson was, I decided to explore.
I ran into a door that said "staff room". I figured that it was some kind of break area where they would drink coffee and sleep or whatever. I cracked the door open and peeked inside. There was a giant metal table and chairs filled with people. They were all having a discussion about us Elementals.
"We could use their powers to our advantage. Think about how much work they could do for us!" a man exclaimed.
"I'm particularly interested in that water girl. If she turns into a liquid then she can't get injured by a bullet, most people would kill for that." A woman stated. I backed away from the door after locking eyes with a man.
"There's someone out there." He said. I ran around the corner quickly and sprinted back to my room. When I went to touch the doorknob I noticed my hands were in water form. I looked back at the way I came and saw puddles where my foot had stepped They weren't foot shaped so I was okay. It looks more like a big drip. When I saw a foot around the last corner I panicked. Without realizing it, I fell down. I was already in water form, so it just looked like someone had spilled something. It didn't feel any different. I just felt like I was laying on the floor. I could still see the man, all of my senses still work, but i'm completely a puddle now.
"Clean up on Hall 1-8!" he said retreating back to the staff room. I moved over to the front of my door and easily slid under the door into my room right before the cleaning lady came and mopped up the water. I stood up and turned back to my normal self.
What do they mean that I can't be shot by a bullet and get injured! What possible situation would I get shot? Is that why they are making me do other things than training for the scientists? What is this place? They created dragon creatures, they made me have my powers. What else are they capable of?
I decided that I would find out what they were up to, after I take a nap.
When I woke up Dani had just came into our room.
"Hey, Mia!" She exclaimed, seeing that I was up.
"I have to talk to you, but not here." I told her.
"Then why don't you come into my bathroom?" She asked, confused as to what I would talk to her about.
I walked into her bathroom and I remembered that hers doesn't look the same as mine. Dani has lots of warm colors, whereas I have lots of cool colors. It was the same design, only different shades of red.
I closed the door and told her everything about us all and working for the government. Then she told me about her father and FELLDPAW.
It made me angrier than I have ever been.
"Say that you got sick." I told her.
"Of course." She said.
The next morning she checked in as sick with me. When the staff came in to check on us we pretended like we were asleep.
"Let me just check their temperatures before I leave." The nurse said. Oh no, Dani isn't really sick. Maybe she will just heat herself up higher?
I watched with one eye open as the nurse walked over.
She stuck out a finger and quickly felt her forehead. I then heard a stinging sound and a small moan of pain from the nurse.
Then she walked out of our room, before getting up and checking out the "school" that we go to, we waited a few minutes.
When we were sure she was gone for good we got up from our beds and went into stealth mode. With our hair in pony tails, I took her to where I found the staff room and listened in for the voices.
We need to find a way into that room without getting caught. We can't just crack the door open again, they'll be watching.
I took her around the corner and told her about this.
"So, what do you suggest?" I asked her.
"One of us causes a distraction and the other goes in. Hopefully all of them won't come out to see what happened." She said quietly.
"Is there some way we can transmit the conversation they have to both of our computers?" I asked her. She has messed around a lot more than I have with our technology in our room.
"I think so. We can record it on our watches and then transmit it to the computers. Then I can come up with some way to either play it back, or have the words typed out." Dani told me.
"Do you wanna be the distraction or recorder?" I asked her.
"Recorder." She answered.
"Okay." I agreed. Once Dani was in a safe, but easy to run from spot, I started the distraction.
I knew there was a water fountain not too far from where the door to the staff room was. I hid not to far from it on the opposite wall around a corner and started to fiddle with it. Once it was squirting just a little bit I created a path of drips all the way to the door. Since there was carpet in the room, I made the carpet soaking with water. It wouldn't be too long before someone noticed and checked out what was happening.
I quickly ran over to my hiding spot again and waited. Not soon after, I heard the door open and men's footsteps pound along the floor.
"There's just a leakage, I'll deal with it." He called out. When he stepped in front of the water fountain I made it spray harder towards his feet. As planned, he reached down to hold the hole, when I only made it spray harder and harder. He struggled with the water for a long time, until I felt Dani could record enough of the conversation.
I ran back to my room quickly. If a nurse came into the room I would cover for Dani and say she was out getting a drink of water.
I pulled out the chair to my computer and entered in my password for my files. Dani had somehow wired it to where I could see it as it was being said. I put in my earbuds after locking the door and listened.
"Sorry, now let's carry on." The man said.
"Anyways, those Elementals could do the dangerous jobs for us, without even getting hurt." A women said.
"Like the water element you mentioned yesterday?" A man confirmed.
"Exactly," She pointed out. "She would be perfect as an agent here."
"They seem to have relationships with one another, that means more Elementals running around. We never planned for this to happen, we don't know if there will be more classic elements, or a brand new kind, such as metal or gravity." Another man suggested.
"What about the effects that will happen when in labor? If you mix certain elements then deadly things can happen. Are we willing to take that risk of killing people?" A women said.
"Yes. Our experiments could go even farther along than we have ever expected, soon enough Elementals won't be the minority, but normals will." A man answered.
"So, you're saying that everyone will have different powers?" The women said. The women seemed to be the only one with these class of people.
"Isn't that why we want the serum? To get it, copy it, and make the EC9 again to sell to people? We would become rich beyond our wildest dreams!" A man said greedily.
So, we aren't saving the world by getting the cure for this world killing thing, but us Elementals are made out of the antiserum, so they want to copy it and get rich off the profits. We need to make our own mission, not theirs.
I need to tell the others, after I get Dani out of there. I have no idea where she is in that room, but I'll get her.
