Luna POV
Outside of our little portable cage, stood two dozen men armed with both tranquilizer guns and the normal kind. I could smell the silver though and something else, some kind of the chemical. All of us noticed it.
"What your probably smelling is a highly effective contagion that specifically locates inhuman species, if you choose not to behave, we'll dose every single one of with the virus and you'll all be dead within the hour," a scientist said.
"Great, just fucking wonderful, you know, i'm really starting to hate humans," i muttered lowly. No one reacted, probably too freaked out.
"One at a time, you'll exit the holding crate and escorted into the building," he said next, once we'd all gauged how screwed we were. He pointed at Alice who looked like a deer in headlights.
"Do as they say, they're not lying, they've tested the virus on other's," Edward said uneasily. She let out a quick breath and took slow steps as she walked out.
Then she was surrounded by four men, all of them having guns trained on her. Several more appeared, replacing the one's who'd left with her. He pointed at Rosalie next, and she just glared and walked out, least she was fearless. Me? I thought i was going to starting screaming hysterically any second.
He looked at Edward next, and he left, a blank expression on his face. He startled in surprise suddenly, probably reading someone's thoughts. Whatever it was, didn't seem very good. Then he glanced back at me for a moment, and very quietly he said, "they were sent to find you specifically, the rest of us were just a bonus."
Paul tensed, and his eyes went wide, they stared at Paul. "I'll be fine, go, and please dont do anything rash," he nodded reluctantly, walking out.
"Send the girl," the scientist said.
Cassie let out a quiet scared sob, clinging to me. "She's just a kid, let her stay with me. She'll be too hard to control without my help," i said, keeping her shielded.
Several of them talked silently, and then nodded once. "Any sign of trouble and she's dead," she sobbed again, and i took her hand, leading her out slowly.
We walked into the huge cement building silently. It was cold here, really cold. I kept Cassie under my arm, and she wrapped her arms around my waist, holding me as we were led down a corridor.
We entered a room of prison cells, all made of that same glass that had been used on the cages. A door closed behind us, and then Cassie broke down. I tried not to cringe, and just wrapped my arms around her. She sobbed loudly and i led us to the bed, where we laid down. She ended up crying herself to sleep.
We both startled awake when a voice broke through on a speaker above us. "Separate and face the wall on opposite sides of the room," i gave her a nod and we both turned away from each other, doing as we were told.
Man this really sucked.
I was cuffed in thick metal, and then shoved out of the room, the door closing behind me. Cassie watched me leave fearfully and then she was out of sight. I ended up in what looked like an interrogation room.
I sighed and sat down.
Two more people entered once i had sat down, one in usual doctor attire and the other in a usual work clothing. "So your name is Luna, correct?"
I gave him a bewildered confused look, "my name isn't Luna."
They shared confused looks, then they slid a picture across the table. I stared at it, a picture of us getting off of the plane when we'd gone to ambush the Council's celebration. "Is this you?"
"Nope," i said popping the 'p' and grinning, "so whose this 'Luna' you speak of?"
"Your Luna," he said confused.
"Give me a last name, maybe that'll help," i said amused.
"We dont know her last name, your last name," the older of the two said, the scientist.
"So let me see if i got this correct then. You ambushed a bunch of mythological creatures in search for one person specifically and you know nothing about her?" i asked in disbelief. "Then you kidnap a bunch of us, thinking you have the right person, and you dont."
"Stop lying, we know exactly who you are," the younger man said annoyed.
"And who am i exactly?"
"How about a freak of nature?"
"I'm not a freak of nature, that suggests that i'm a rarity or a mutation. I'm not, being what i am is genetic, the opposite of an anomaly," i said dismissively.
"How many of your kind would you say there is?" he asked next, neither of them knowing how to respond to what i'd said.
"How the hell should i know? I dont keep tabs on other people," i said in disgust, "i have better things to do than that."
"A rough estimate then," he said and i rolled my eyes.
"Look asshole, i dont know what you expect to accomplish by bringing a bunch of us out here. But you sure as hell wont get a single thing out of any of us. Where we all may be natural enemies, every single supernatural in this world has a common one. Humans, so quite frankly, all i have to say is you can take your questions and stick 'em where the sun dont shine."
They gave me angry looks, "well in that case we'll just have to prep for surgery, maybe you'll be a little more chatty when you get a taste of compound S-2. A special little formula made specifically for animals like you to transfer your loyalty to those with S-1."
I stared at him, totally lost, "what? Speak english."
"Put simply, were going to turn you into a nice little soldier for a special kind of army," i smirked, amused.
"Good luck with that."
"We need luck, we have science on our side," he said smirking as he stood.
"No, you have ego's the size of the empire state building one your side. That an arrogance, how can you even get through a door with that much ego?" i asked curiously.
"See you in the morning," they said continuing to smirk at me. They left. No one came in to get me.
I stood and then yanked hard on the cuffss. They didn't break, but the bar on the table that the guards had attached me to broke in half. I went to the window, taping on it to judge how thick it was. It was thick.
Then something sprayed into the room, like a big compressed air can. I turned, watching a greyish cloud of mist sweep through the room. It continued to leak out in waves, falling onto the floor. The more gas was released the more the room filled.
"Oh shit," i said nervously.
I turned around, looking for something to break through the window with. There wasn't even a handle on this side of the door. I threw my fist into glass as hard as i could and it cracked a little. I shook my hand, pain searing my nuckles, "mother-," i bit down on my tongue and ripped the table from the platform it was screwed into. i smashed it against the mirror, and it cracked a little more. Then i was collapsing and coughing. A second later i was swimming in a sea of darkness.
Isabel POV
I tipped the freezing bowl of water over their heads and both of them jumped up, finding themselves chained down. "Morning gentlemen," i said in an icy voice.
"Who are you?" one asked, fear in his eyes.
"I dont think you have the right to ask about me. I'm going to make something very clear to the both of you, i'm incredibly pissed off right now, and i tend to get a little hungry when i'm mad," i said, eyes flashing and they both pulled back a little scared. I blinked, letting my eyes return to normal. "You and your unit did something very unwise. Now I dont care if you were just following orders, You took my sister, her mate, my mate and several of his family, who also happen to be mine. I want to know where."
"We can't tell you that," one man stuttered out.
"Can't or wont?" Sam asked from behind me, a cold look in his eyes.
"Both, we'll me executed for treason," one whispered.
"That's the last thing you should be worried about. Most governments are opposed to torture as part of an interrogation. But i wouldn't be surprised to hear you and your friends were doing it to my family, so why not keep the playing field even?" i said eyebrows raised.
They stared at me, terrified and i couldn't help the smirk that crossed my lips. This would be easy. Now, i have never tortured a human before. Not really even anyone non-human. I have however watched both Luna, my father and my older brother do it.
When you go looking for intel from some other creature, they wont break, so you dont even bother giving them the option. You kind of just, well, kick their ass until they give in. Sometimes that takes a while. Humans weren't the same way. They can't think past current pain, whereas we are trained to.
"Bella i-," i cut Sam off with a look.
"You dont want to watch, then get out."
He relented and i turned back to the two men. "Last chance."
"We can'-," i cut him off throwing my open palm forward and into his nose, effectively breaking it.
