Heyo readers, sorry it's been a while but I have been super busy with the end of the year and this being my last week of school, Yay! So now I can update faster. Well here's chapter 12 now with Iggy. Again Disclaimer: Sadly I only own the plot not the characters.

Chapter 12: Unique Ability

What. Cough. Was. Cough. Wrong. Cough. With me? Why couldn't I freaking stop right then right there? I gasped trying to suck in as much air as I could between coughs and wheezes. Rose had knelt down next to me obviously frightened by this little episode. And guess who else showed up now?

That's right. Jeb.

"Iggy are you okay? What's wrong?" he asked and I felt him kneel down next to me. I scowled only to fall into a harder coughing fit into my hand. Jeez, I wouldn't be wondering the same thing if I knew right?

In a distant I heard David's dark voice, and man did he sound excited.

"Has it begun on the experiment yet? This is stage one right?" He was practically bouncing in joy with his voice.

"Yes this is it. There are four other stages and the experiment should be finished." Another voice chuckled.

"And then begins the domination?" David laughed quietly.

"Yes." The other voice joined in laughing with David. Now darn, what could they be talking about? What experiment? And what was going to happen exactly?

Through all this commotion I hadn't even realized my coughs had died down and I was breathing raged breaths. Quickly I sucked in heavy amounts of air until my lungs hurt and slowed down. I stayed on my knees shaking slightly and felt the blood drip off my chin. I wiped the blood off, and got to my feet wobbling slightly. Out of habit I cocked my head listening for anymore signs of a fight.

"Iggy are you okay now?" Jeb asked as if he truly cared. Sure, and maybe the moon is made out of blue cheese.

"Fine." I spat hating how cracked my voice sounded not threatening at all. It made me look weak after all that. Jeb reached out as I stumbled and I jerked away.

"Leave me alone." I hissed shaking off the dizziness.

"Come with me. We want to take blood and check." Jeb said and I swear to god I could hear the grin in his voice. He really was enjoying my pain huh?

"Are you okay Iggy?" Rose's hand brushed my arm as we began walking inside the dreaded school. All the while, the rain began to come down in a pour outside. Hmm, gloomy weather for a terrible nightmare. Now all we need is some horror music!

"Yeah sure." I shrugged lying through my teeth. I raised my hand to rub my head when I brushed against Rose's neck. Only it wasn't a neck. It was metal and hard and wrapped around her neck almost like a collar. Wait, a collar? Really this is way low for scientists.

"Iggy-" Rose started not convinced by my answer earlier but I cut her off.

"What is this Rose?" I felt the collar more touching a little circle sticking out of the rest of the collar.

"Oh this. It's like a collar or something, for our powers." Rose mumbled. "I can teleport to anywhere I want. So they out this on knowing I would try to escape. Spark has one too. He can you know, move stuff through his mind whenever the collars off." The bitterness in her voice was indescribable.

Jeb jerked me towards another room and set me down on a table. Flashbacks crashed through my mind of the last time I was on a table like this. I had gone blind. Instantly I jumped up bolting away, only to find the door blocked.

"Iggy please calm down. We aren't going to do surgery or anything like that. We just want to take blood. Now Sit." Jeb sighed annoyed. My heart sped up as I was brought back to the table again. A new fear washed over me as I tensed on the table waiting.

There was a small prick in my right hand and that was all. Hm, so he was telling the truth, who knew?

"Okay back to their cages." David growled when the needle was ripped from my hand as he finished up. I hissed placing my other hand to stop the blood as I got down when it happened again.

I stumbled feeling a heavy weight in my chest, and I fell into a thick coughing fit. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop coughing. It just felt like something was stuck in my chest and wouldn't come out. I gave one last hard cough and it cleared up, but a weight on my chest remained there as we approached our cages. The Eraser slammed me down into my own cage closing the door behind him in laughter. Rose went next followed by Spark. Once the creeps left us we began talking.

"Iggy can I ask you something?" Rose asked sounding determined about what she was going to ask. I nodded still thinking about the weight on my chest.

"You're blind huh? That's what they did to you seven years ago huh?" Rose stated instead of asked. I sighed heavily. So she figured out I was blind, she would have figured out sooner or later. Though it did surprise me that it took her this long to tell me I was blind.

"Yeah I am. They wanted to improve my night vision before the others. Well that worked out real well for me." I said bitterly recalling the memory.

"Oh Iggy I'm so sorry." Rose whispered softly.

"Please don't apologize. I hate it when people do that especially when they didn't do it. It wasn't your fault, don't apologize." I pleaded turning in my cage as I heard new footsteps coming from the other rooms.

Why did everyone say sorry? At first yeah it's nice, but after awhile it mostly ticks me off. Its so annoying having every person you tell say, "I'm sorry." Rose was silent after that.

It's nice when it's quiet, where I could hear everything bear my surroundings better. But most of all it gave me time to think. Was the flock okay, where they home? Would I ever get out of here? Were they coming for me? What would I do with Rose and Spark? I couldn't just leave them here to-

I jerked as someone smashed something on top of my cage jerking us around right as a short burst of pain hit my skull. It was a sharp but quick hold a pain agonizing my head for a moment and then it was gone just like that! I grabbed a hold of Rose's bar and blinked.

I move my eyes up and looked right into her face.

Now go back and reread that sentence.
