The second Cal's commands touches my brain, I place every soldier under my spell. My Whisperer spell.

THere is no concealing who I am anymore.

On your knees. I whisper my way into all of their heads. It strains my brain, but I still manage to get the command through. They tremble, each and everyone of them. But they have no choice but to fall. Hands behind your heads. I keep going. Never before did I try to send such a large message. Try to control such a large amount of people. But I still do it. They're hands shake as they wonder what's happening. Everyone is.

"What's happening?" Mare asks me as the Blood eyed man is the last to do as I say. "Cal, what're you doing?"

"You know exactly what I'm doing." I respond as realization touches Mare's face. Bree steps in front of her, as if she needs protection, but she doesn't let him.

"Your a Whisperer." She snarls at me, her voice full of disgust. "You're just like your mother." I narrow my eyes at her.

"Do you want me to do the same to you?" I ask her and she flinches before taking a step back. My skull feels like its about to fall apart as I strain to keep my hold ont he soldiers.

"But that means you have two abilities..." She mumbles as I nod.

"Wasn't that obvious?" I ask as I whisper into their minds once again. I just need to send one last command...

Throw your guns across the room. To the far corner. My hold is less urgent, but they still do as I say. When every weapon is far away, I finally let go. My breathing is harsh, my sweat lining my brow. But I still stand tall.

"Don't." I say. "Tell us what to do." I say and take Cal's hand. He doesn't pull away, which is surprising. I thought he would, after seeing what I can truly do. I don't think an army of Whisperers can do what I just did. My Mother had trouble controlling two people, much less ten.

"We can destroy you if we wanted too. We can leave if we want too. You have no hold over us. You have no power over us." I continue as the men are still on their knees, scared of what I would do if they didn' grip on them is long gone. Only the blood red eyed man stands. His footing was still firm, but there was a hitch to it all. His feet were less planted on the ground. He was ready to run if he had too. More people were crowded, but they didn't dare come close to either of us. Or really, me.

"So, stop treating us as we're below you." Cal says, taking over. I smile, I thought he hated making speeches. "We will not retaliate against you, unless its for a pure emergency. But never act as if you are above us. Never."

On that note me and him join our flaming hands together and the soldiers finally have the will to stand up.

"Take us to our cell." I say. When they seem confused I raise an eyebrow. "We're going to... comply... For now." I whisper and they slowly start walking.

But Mare's eyes never leave my own, burning through me with hatred and confusion.

*E*

"Well, this sucks." I say to Cal. "We comply with what they do, and they take everything away."

Cal doesn't say anything back to me. The Silent Stone took away our powers, even my second one. We are nothing without them. Or at least, that's what we like them to believe. We can still fight without our powers. We can fight as Reds.

Or at least, that's what I'm trying to make myself believe.

The Silent Stone's pressure on me is exhilarating. I can't find the fire that I once treasured. I can't read Cal's thoughts. I can't do anything. But at least, I can talk. They haven't taken that away from me, my own voice.

"Man, I wish I had my radio right now." I say. "Or at least some chips. Ketchup chips and everything-"

"Eliza." Cal starts. "Shut up."

"Well I'm sorry." I reply. "I'm just trying to make some light in the situation." I reply as he groans and wipes his face with his hands. I can tell he feels weak right now.

"Well, look at the bright side." I say, and whisper. Loud enough for the cameras to pick up. My back faced them. I spotted the cameras when I got in. I know where they are. They don't see my face or hands.

"I know how to break out." I whisper, and waves a finger in front of my throat, like I'm slitting it, to show Cal I'm lying. He widens his eyes, he knows what I'm trying to do. But he pretends its in astonishment.

"Really." He whispers. "How?"

"Remember when Mother would lock me in my room?" I mumble to him, whispering a complete lie. "I still remember how I opened the lock." He stares at me, eyes wide as he nods. Man, Cal can be an amazing actor if he wanted to be.

"Shhh..." I mumble and take out my hair pin as Cal gets up causously. I take another one out of my hair, somehow, it stayed put.

Suddenly, the door slams open and five Reds storm in, all heavily guarded. They were watching, and they need to make sure the Calore Siblings don't escape.

Just as planned.

I strike them with ease, my legs wrap around the closest man's head and I slam my fist against his face. Then, I grab his pistol and place it against his temple. Everyone flinches as I smile at them.

"What, do you really think we only practiced our abilities?" I whisper, my voice low and harsh. "This guard is dealing with more than just two human blowtorches."

"Let us out, or I will kill him." I say, my voice simple. Calm. Silence responds. My bones feel weaker than usual, but I still manage to keep my head up.

"Fine." I respond as the men run towards me. Just as I predicted.

I fire at them, hitting their legs. Cal scrambled and grabs another man's gun. We shoot blindly. One bullet nicks my arm, but I barely notice it. Within seconds, all men are down, clutching their wounds. Me and Cal walk out of the cell and I smile at him.

He smiles back.

*E*
