I didn't stop at the room, figured Cari was still in tests. I was trying to figure out why it seemed like my sister was saying... No. She was not saying good bye. That wouldn't make sense! My sister was one of the best gun wielders I knew, she wouldn't die easy...
My breath caught when I reached my apartment and hour later. The door was cracked open, and one light inside was flickering. I slipped inside without a word as I glanced at the lamp.
"A break in?" I blinked again as I noticed the window, which I quickly slammed shut. When Cari's voice spoke up from the sofa I nearly jumped through the roof.
"Hey, Elena-wa." She whispered in an...icy voice? I faced her slowly and rose an eyebrow. Was she still wearing the hospital gown?
"...Cari? New fashion statement?" I whispered, backing up. She laughed, a laugh I'd never heard before, a sharp cold laugh.
"Oh Elena...you came to HQ, afraid they'd experiment on me?" She scoffed. "The experiment was done two, almost three years ago. They just had to get with in 50 feet...and they could activate it."
"Activate what?" My voice was faint.
Cari burst into laughter. "My programming silly..." I noticed now she was moving strangely, fluently, her moves almost invisible.
"Programming?" I backed to the window, no where else left.
"I'm one of those things that attacked HQ. The only Semi-Human ones? We're called Ravens."
"...monsters created from AVALANCHE...." I whispered as she approached me.
"Bingo..." She grinned lightly and in the next second a felt pain in my arm...then I heard the snap as she broke it.
"Cari, please no!" I cried out as she tugged, only grinning at me slightly-then kicked my knee, which also gave a sickening crack. I screamed now, only to be thrown into a wall, my head banging pretty hard.
"No one will ever know what happened to you. Except your upshot sister who I'll be sending a video of this too..."
"No..." I cried out as Cari approach, now kicking my in the gut repeatedly. I began to whimper as my sight faded, and then...a gun shot. A thud. Someone calling my name. Then darkness.
