Hello people of Fanfiction. How are we today? Well i spent a little time on this chapter figuring out how ot make it long and where to end it. I have some sad news.

2.) Sadly this is one of the last chapters before the end of the story. Theres only about maybe 2 or 3 chapters left.
Well i hope you enjoy it and I'll see you at the next chapter. Thanks for all your reviews. it makes me so excited to see a new review has been posted and they alwasy make me smile when i read them. You guys are the best.
Chapter 11
I feel disoriented. I can barely see, but I'm able to make out colors and unfocused people rushing around. The only color I can make out so far is white. Everything is white. White walls, white suits that make the people look like astronauts. I closed my eyes for a few minutes before opening them again. This time things started to move into focus and once I could see clearly I tried to move, but something was restraining me. I lifted my head as high as it would go and looked down to see my hands and feet were cuffed. A tube ran up into my nose and provided oxygen to me. I was dressed in a thin white suit with white sneakers and my hair had been taken out of its pony tail. I looked to my right and my eyes went wide as I looked over Seth and Sara. Both of them were strapped to metal tables and both wore the same clothes I was wearing. Some of the people in white suits came in and started working around us. One of them took a small flash light and shined it into my eyes. I watched him work and finally he realized I was staring at him.
"Where am I?" I asked him.
"I'm not authorized to give that information away. I'm…sorry." He said before walking away. I looked back down at my cuffs and tried to phase through them, but something kept me from doing that.
"Sir, she's awake." Someone said. The voice was male, but that's all I could make out.
"Move her." Another voice commanded. This time there was no mistaking that the voice belonged to Mr. Burke. I tried to remember how I had gotten here and that's when it all came back to me. When I felt my hand cuffs open I instinctively reached back and rubbed my neck. I could still feel the little scab from where the dart entered.
"Ms. Bruno we need you to come with us." I looked up to see agents standing by the door. One of them held a gun, but it was not pointed at me. One of the agents followed my gaze and stepped closer to me.
"It's for precaution means only." He explained. I nodded and slowly slid of the table. Two agents rushed forward and flanked me as I followed to rest out of the lab. I had no idea where we were going, bu ti knew I couldn't escape this so I just followed. We stopped at another door and a man unlocked it before pushing me inside and shutting the door again. It was another glass lab like the one I was in with Seth and Sara. I guess it gave me a bit of relief to know I could see Seth and Sara from where I was.
"Welcome to our humble home Experiment 214." I lifted my head to see Mr. Burke standing in a glass office right next to me.
"My name is Jess." I scowled at him.
"Here you're known as Experiment 214. Now let me explain your situation…" I walked up to the glass and stared him straight in the eye.
"No. let me explain your situation. I need to get out of here and I will beat the living crap out of you if you don't let us go." I growled, but Mr. Burke only looked at me with amusement in his eyes.
"You're in no position to threaten me. Now, I need information from you. If I don't get it then I'm going to have to dissect your friends over there." He said and nodded his head. I looked back over at Seth and Sara before looking back at Mr. Burke.
"What happens when you realize I won't answer to you?" I ask him with a smirk.
"Well I'm certain you can. The question is will you want to. As a little incentive I would like to demonstrate." I eyed him as he walked over to a metal lever. He pushed it down about an inch and at first nothing happened, but then I could feel it. My breathing got heavier and my legs started to shake. It literally felt like the oxygen was being sucked out of the air. My hands went around my neck as I struggled to bring in oxygen to my lungs. Finally Mr. Burke moved the switch back up and I took deep breaths trying to regain my breath.
"You see this room was designed with air vents that act as….vacuums let's say. With every inch this lever goes down more oxygen is sucked out of this room." He said. I looked at him with disbelief.
"You can't do this to me! I have human right!" I argued with him. He only looked at me and laughed in my face.
"You're right except let me remind you, experiment 214, that you are not human." He said.
"Why are you here?" He asked me.
"Top secret." I said. Mr. Burke narrowed his eyes at me, but continued.
"Why is it top secret?" He asked.
"Because I don't want to tell you." I growled. He smirked at me and flipped the lever. Within seconds I was sprawled on the ground. My hand went around my throat as I fought for air. It felt like my lungs were caving in on themselves and it felt like my airways were on fire. Suddenly the air returned and I gasped for breath trying to refill my lungs as fast as I could.
"Now let's try this again. How about your friends? What do they do?" He asked me. I looked over at Seth and Sara. It broke my heart to see the string willed teens strapped up to tubes and other instruments as if they were experiments. I looked back up at Mr. Burke and snarled.
"Why should I tell you?" I asked him. Once again he flipped the switch and I crumpled to the ground. I wanted to tell him everything just to make it stop, but I wouldn't. I couldn't do that after we had come so far. Finally he flipped the switch back up and I took deep breaths.
"Sir maybe we should stop for a minute." One of the agents said. Mr. Burke looked at him and immediately the agent shut his mouth and moved back without another word.
"How do you develop your...powers?" Mr. Burke asked. I smirked and just shrugged my shoulders.
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't tell them to start dissecting your friends?" He asked. I flinched, but didn't let any emotion show on my face. He was looking for weakness and it was time he figured out he wasn't going to find any in me.
"I don't have a good reason." I said.
"I need information, Ms. Bruno." He raised his voice at me. My temper flared as I glared at him.
"The only information you need to know is that earth will be invaded if we don't get them back to their planet!" I shouted at him. He stared at me with hatred in his eyes, but our stare down was interrupted by a shrill alarm.
"Sir theirs been a breech in our system." An agent informed him. Mr. Burke looked at me and leaned onto the glass.
"Last chance Ms. Bruno. Tell us what you know!" He shouted at me. I used my strength to stand up and lean against the glass. I stared right into his eyes as I whispered.
"Go to hell." His face was priceless. He was fuming with rage as he clenched his teeth. An agent had to grab his arm and pull him away from the glass and further he was away from me the safer I felt. I knew that I had probably pushed him a little too much, but what he did next left me out of breath literally. Before he followed the other out of the room he walked over and flipped the lever halfway down. He then walked back over to me and smirked.
"Have a nice time Ms. Bruno. Oh and you may want to hold your breath, I don't know how long this breech may last.
"This is not good." I whispered and realized I might not be able to get out of this one.
