Chapter 3
Seven's POV
I reached out feeling the ice cool, gentle ribbons, I coughed and gagged; inhaling water. I pushed myself up, like I was doing a push up and straightened my back, shooting bullets of pain down my spine. I clenched my teeth and forced myself to stand, I looked around curiously.
I was standing in a vast ocean, no civilization in sight, just the stars reflections on the water. The water went half way up my calves, soaking my combat boots. I surveyed my clothing, still in the tight light blue corset, but the dress was distressed and torn an inch above my knees.
My hair had fallen out of the plaits and was soaking up the water. I growled though my teeth and using my sense of bearings, and began to trudge east. I cussed and swore as the freezing water droplets trickled down my face, chilling me to the bone. "At least I'm not in a creepy boarding school," I thought. "Then again, I wasn't soaked to the bone."
I kept pushing myself forward and heard the lapping of water behind me. I whirled around and released some of my electricity through the water; I expected a terrifying animal to greet me and hurl me across the sea of loneliness, but I wasn't rewarded anything. I snorted at my own ignorance and kept walking through the water. I started to wonder if Providence was even looking for me, or if Six was worried about me, besides, no one saw me get taken.
I heard a splash behind me and jumped around, glancing around once more. I seriously started to think I'm going insane. I trudged on a few steps when I picked up a quiver under the water, on the sand I was standing on, resembling mini earthquakes. I looked up to see flying fish, leap and shoot out of the water around me. It was like they were running from something, trying to get away. Several slapped my face leaving scratches and shiny scales.
Suddenly, the sand underneath me began to whir, and sink like quicksand. I began to sink downwards into the underwater sinkhole, I charged forward, only to be sucked back, as if someone had flushed a giant toilet. I was hurled backward and falling down. I flipped myself over to land face first in the water. Feeling little stings all over, I began to sink downward again into the water, causing my senses to flicker on, I inhaled as much air as I still could. I looked down at my creepily dressed body. My raven locks flowed in the water, I was in a blue corset, ripped blue miniskirt, and combat boots that didn't match. Unexpectedly, an eery red light flickered through the water. I floated through a dark crimson, swirly, glittering mass and, once again, was falling.
Providence
Rex sat in Doctor Holiday's lab as she wrapped his bruised arm, the Hispanic hissing at physical contact. Six walked into the lab and leaned against a metal pillar, next to Holiday's monitors. Bobo sat above sorting through a deck of cards, taking the ones he wanted.
Rex and Holiday were having a conversation on Van Kliess's recent activity, "I just don't understand why he can't leave us all alone. Didn't he get enough out of us the last time we were there?"
"I don't know Rex. Maybe Van Kliess wants to get re-acquainted with her now that her memories were revived. Or he just wants to test her developing powers. She's going to be fine Rex. Seven is good at taking care of herself." Holiday calmly took Rex's temperature, functioning vitals, and biometric scans.
"But that man nearly had Rex killed, and eliminated Seven's real flesh and blood brother." Six spoke stoically.
"Wow Six. You sound jealous." Rex laughed, but was silenced by Six's glare.
"Six, Rex. Cut it out. Seven's perfectly capable of handling psycho family killers. I'm sure she's handled stuff like that before." Holiday mentioned to Six.
"Affimative." Six nodded.
"But this killing psycho is Van Kliess. With 100% elemental manipulation of a ten mile radius." Rex waved his un-injured arm.
"Nah. Chick's too smart to let Breach give her to him. She's probably stuck in the whacked out pocket dimension. Just have to get the crazy babe to let her go." Bobo said flicking cards everywhere.
Everyone looked a the chimp in awe, amazed at his logical statement. Bobo raised and eyebrow at the all, "What?"
3rd Person POV
Seven coughed and sputtered up a gallon of saltine water. She leaned down with my hands on my knees. As the girl looked up, she realized I was in some sort of strange mansion. Currently, she laid in a fancy women's room with sapphire blue silk sheets. Across the room, Seven caught a dresser. She quickly got up and moved over to the other side of the room, wanting to change out of the clothing. As she pulled open one drawer, and literally, it went flying across the room.
Gently, the mercenary took my middle finger and thumb, and gently pulled the handle of the dresser, it quickly slid out. As Seven looked through the drawer, she realized there was nothing in it that she would wear and and slammed it shut, walking towards the closet. She slid it open, and it toppled over at her pressure.
Seven's developing powers they were getting offhand. She looked through the closet, and eventually found something that would work. It was a simple zip up leather turtleneck jacket, with thumb holes. She untied the corset in the back and it finally slipped off. Resulting in her being able to breathe again. Seven put on the jacket and zipped it up to her collarbone in the front. She kept rummaging and found some matching flared jeans and black socks. As she slipped into them, she found they were the perfect fit.
Seven walked to the front of a full length mirror, an elegant girl with long black hair and deep sky blue eyes stared back. The attire was almost sculpted to her body perfectly. Seven walked over to the dresser again to see if she could find some gloves. Instead of gloves, she looked into a glass case with several strange weapons and gauntlets, like an axe, a heavy short-sword, and a few crossbows. There were several handgun pistols's with engraved patterns. Next to each hand gun was a holster. Next to the guns were several knifes. Seven slid away the glass and grabbed a shoulder holster, and concealed several knifes around her body. Seven picked the handgun an holstered it by her arm.
The merc walked around the mansion, exploring each room for a single sound, person, anything. She found nothing of interest. The Morph reached the bottom floor and walked through a ballroom area. The air was stale, and smelt of dust and old wood. The only sound was the sharp whistling wind outside the cloudy windows. A chill crept over Seven's finger tips, shoulders, spine, and back, settling at her base. The girl raised her handgun pistol, getting the feeling she was about to be attacked.
She rounded a corner into a hall filled with mirrors. Seven stepped into the room. It instantly lit up the second her boot came in contact, and a light blue light appeared on the other side of the room, moving across diagonally. As the girl explored the hall see kept on crashing into glass walls, making her feel distorted, and her senses kaput.
"What are you looking for my dear?" Spoke a voice that made Seven was to shudder and fade through the walls. In a reflection to her right, she spotted the man she feared.
"Van Kliess." Seven downheartedly said, her eyes widening. She gritted her teeth and glared at the EVO, "I've got a bad case of deja vu. What do you want?"
"You know exactly what I want." The dark man smiled poisonously.
"Alright." Seven nodded. "New question." She whipped around the face him but only came to a three reflections of him. "Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?" His calm voice echoed.
The girl screamed furiously and fired one bullet into his reflection, "Stop reversing the questions! Can't you give me a straight answer! You two-faced, rotten, snake in the grass-"
"Now, now, now. Is that any way to speak to your own father?" He said reappearing in another mirror. His voice and words echoed off the walls, causing an eery effect.
Seven grabbed her ears trying to block out his words, "Shut up! I hate you! Just get lost! I don't want or need you in any way!"
"Corra." Van Kliess hummed in almost a sing-song like way. "Stop denying the inevitable. You can't stop it." Seven let out an angry scream and used her feet to bust open a hole into the vents and climbing into them before she could be mortified anymore.
The girl crawled quietly through the air vents and eventually came to a downward curve in them. Seven put her feet first, crossed her arms, and slid down the vent, gaining speed. Before Seven could react another red glowing portal opened up. The girl clawed at the vents, trying to slow down, but she shot right into the portal, sending her flying into mid-air. Seven rotated her arms and legs getting ready to land. She landed on concrete, somersaulting forward before standing up and looking around. Her setting had changed from fancy mansion, to a barren, desolate, city with newspapers, and winds swirling around the place. The teenager was standing on the rooftop of a building. She heard a low, raspy, long growl, followed by a chorus. The girl slowly turned to see a whole legion of EVOs.
The resembled a doberman pinscher with the flesh, skin, blood bubbled to the surface, with an almost lacerated look, when they opened their mouths, it split into several different pieces with jagged, razor sharp teeth in each piece. Seven's grip tightened around her handgun pistol and she slowly raised the gun, getting ready to fire. The EVO dogs sprinted forward at impossible speed, getting pelted by the girl's bullets before falling to the ground dead.
Seven swallowed and clenched her fists in anger and fear. Before any more creatures could attack she let loose a legion of shockwaves. She turned on her heel and leapt of the roof landing in a crouching position. The mercenary raised her head, and spotted a phone booth several hundred meters down the road. She raced towards it and locked herself in. The girl closed her eyes, and breathed out shakily. When she reopened them, Seven's bright blue eyes locked on a wall phone as it began to ring. Seven picked it up, and didn't say anything.
"You can't run from me my dear. Stop trying."
"Like h***." Seven snarled and hung up, as she stared at the phone, she got an idea.
