Pretty impressed with this one. Now I had someone tell me that I'm over powering the twins. I can understand completely where you're coming from and I agree in some points, that's why I had to spend the entire time I was writing Eclipse to trying to figure this part out, figuring out how to imprison them for example. I think that chapter kind of makes them look too powerful too, but I can't help it, I always want my main characters to be better, it's the same with all my stories. So if people think this please tell me so I can improve it.
Also, my next chapter (Chapter 47) might take a while to be uploaded. I want to write it in a specific way, but I'm not exactly sure how that will work, so read the authors note I put on the top of it cause it'll explain how I'm picturing the chapter. I apologise in advance if it's confusing.
Cat's POV.
I swear it's been like six days now since I've been in this cage. I slept for two so I guess they don't really count. And although that's how it feels Sophie said it's only been two days since I woke up. Nothing has happened to us yet and Zacha-what's-his-face hasn't been back to annoy us. This is both good and bad though; good because I hated his guts and wanted to punch his face in, but bad because we can't find anything out if he isn't here. I thought I'd been bored back at home, but I realise now that I hadn't even known what boredom was then. I sat around for a whole day yesterday and I think I might die if I have to go through another one. I was currently throwing a small ball of light at the glass wall, usually the light would go straight through it, but this cage was annoyingly resistant so it just bounced back at me like a tennis ball. I groaned. This game was just as boring as doing nothing. I'd thought about firing my railgun at the glass to break it, but then I remembered I could loose my head if I did, so I decided against it. Sophie's condition hasn't changed, I can basically hear her breathing from here, they're so deep and shallow, I can't believe these people can treat her like that, it's awful! And just made me want to break something even more. I was still trying to think of a way to break out of this bloody glass cage. I had tried to 'conspicuously' melt the glass but had given up after two hours of not even giving it a scratch, so now, because Sophie was busy concentrating on staying alive, I had to come up with something.
"If only I could use telepathy with others, it'd be so useful if I could send my thoughts to Jake, or Sam, or Alice, or anyone" I grumbled annoyed. I had my feet up on my bed and my back on the floor so that I was staring at the roof, over my game with the light ball. My powers couldn't even entertain me, plus I shouldn't be using them and giving away all I could do, though these people seemed to know about most of them anyway. I still had no clue who 'they' were, all I knew was this was probably the first time they'd actually caught us. If their claims from the time they'd attacked us, about never being able to find us, were true that is. I twirled my hair while I waited for something to pop into my head, of course it could be ages till that happened.
"I wonder if the pack can actually find us?" I muttered, I had no idea where my little prison room was, were it was being kept, what kind of disguise it had, all I knew was that it was very bright outside that door. That small, annoying door that contained my escape, if I could remove this glass from around me first that is. I had considered scratching it, kind of like how cartoons do it and make a round hole, but then I realised that this glass was probably very thick and I had nothing to scratch it with. I tried thinking of something to use in my room to help, but the furniture — which is usually made out of wood — was made out of a dusty glass and other then that there was only the bedding. I wasn't sure if I could do anything with fibres, I probably could but I had no idea what. I sighed in annoyance before I suddenly heard a funny noise, it sounded like of like a mix between a click and a beep. I rolled over onto my stomach and looked down at that annoying, taunting door expecting it to open, but nothing happened. I looked around my cage until something caught my eye, it was a blink. I looked at my bathroom door, and saw another blink, it was a light.
"If there's a light blinking, then there should be electricity" I jumped up and walked over to the door, but as soon as I approached it, the light stopped and disappeared. I looked around but I couldn't see any sign of where it'd come from, nothing was different with the door. I looked at the handle confused for a while before I grabbed the knob in my hand, it was as normal as any other door knob. I turned the door knob and opened it, initially planning on checking the other side of the door, however I was distracted by what was sitting in front of me. Instead of the bathroom I was expecting to see, there was a plain, white, empty room. I looked at it completely stunned. I shut the door again before reopening it, but the white room was still there. What had happened to my bathroom? I walked into the white room and as soon as I did, the door slammed shut and disappeared. I looked at it, an annoyed expression on my face
"Of course, how ironic" I muttered to myself before touching the wall where the door had been. There was something weird about this wall, it almost felt like it was alive, but I had no idea what it was made out of, it was nothing I knew of.
"Probably another way of keeping me inside" I growled annoyed. I looked back at the dull white room. There was literally nothing, this was probably even more boring then my cage.
"Great, trying to kill me with boredom now are we?" I said, my voice leaking with anger and annoyance. I walked further towards the middle of the room there wasn't much to look at and I wasn't sure what it was I was looking for but I looked anyway. I saw a black hole suddenly appear not far in front of me in the floor.
"What the…" I muttered, this was careless, leaving a hole in the floor. I walked over to it and looked down. I watched to a minute before I saw something coming towards me through the darkness. It suddenly shot out and grabbed my wrist. It was like a glass hand cuff. I glared and yanked against the glass chain it was connected to but like the cage it didn't break.
"What… the… hell!" I stuttered while pulling on my arm. Another hole appeared on my other side and another glass cuff grabbed my other wrist. I pulled against them both before two more appeared and grabbed my ankles. I tried kicking against them all but they lifting me off of the floor. I continued to struggle as my anger built up inside me.
"Let go!" my body bursted into white hot flames in an attempt to remove the glass, but they didn't melt, they didn't even get hot. I removed the flames from around me before I head something that sounded like a sliding door and looked around, but I couldn't see anything. The cuffs turned me so that I was hanging up straight and I saw Zachariah standing on the floor below me. The cuffs took me towards him. I just glared at his face while moving my wrists around in the cuffs, trying to figure out how to get them off.
"Well, that was easy" Zach smiled "I didn't think you'd just walk in"
"Curiosity" I said, not letting the fact that he was implying I was stupid get to me.
"Yes I can see that." he nodded. "Now then, I'm going to ask you a few things, and you're going to answer me truthfully" he said
"Or what?" I asked confused, what the hell could he do to me? Usually torture involved electricity, I was immune to that. Or dunking someone underwater, I could hold my breath for too long for that. Or burning them, I was immune to that too. He could cut me open but I'd just heal within a matter of minutes and wouldn't feel much pain. He smiled at me and I suddenly felt a heap of pain going through my head. I screamed out in pain, what the hell was this?! It was inside my head, like a migraine that had been increased 100 times over, only worse, like an electric shock but it was mental. I was in so much pain I couldn't put my shields up to keep the pain out. How the hell was this possible? The pain finally stopped and I took a huge breath. It subsided quickly and I glared at Zach
"What the hell was that?"
"Just a means of making you co-operate" he shrugged
"Have you ever thought that if you took the nice approach and hadn't attacked us, and then kidnapped us that we may have co-operated willingly?" I spat at him, why did people always go for the hard way? I put up my mind shields, nice a strong, there was only one way to find out if what ever that pain was could get through it. I knew the pain was just a very strong illusion, Carlisle had told me about vampires who had powers like that, one girl from the Volturi, Jane I think her name was, could make you feel pain, but it was only an illusion, it wasn't real. This was like that. I wasn't sure how I knew that, but I knew the pain wasn't physical, my body would have healed it before it had gotten that bad.
"Now then, shall we begin?" he asked, ignoring my question. I didn't answer
"Now, when did you begin to, develop these… powers?" he asked. I just glared at him, his expression didn't change when I felt a twinge against my mind shield, it was kind of like a pinch or a pick from a thorn or needle. I knew then that the pain couldn't get through my shield, but I screamed anyway, pretending to be in the same pain. If he knew he couldn't hurt me then he'd just find some other way to torture me. Not only that but he'd find out about my mental abilities too, and that was a luxury I wasn't giving up, it was my only communication to Sophie at the moment. I saw him smirk a little when I finished screaming, I was so glad my lying was good, I'd had practice with my facial expressions, so I was pretty good at making myself look like I was in pain, I'd had to do it all the time when I'd scratched myself or twisted my ankle or anything like that.
"Well?" Zach asked, I needed to think, and fast, did I pretend to keep enduring this pain, or did I give him a fake answer. I could just pretend I was really strong and keep screaming.
"Why should I give you an answer? You've never answered any of mine" I answered with a deep breath. He grinned
"Well how about this, if you answer one of mine, I'll answer one of yours" he suggested
"Ha" I spat "As if I'd fall for that, if you were so willing to give me an answer you would have done so already"
"Not when I can use it for leverage such as this" he shrugged. I ground my teeth, I wasn't going to tell him anything that was true and that was for sure. I suddenly had a thought
"What if they've done this to Sophie…" I wondered "But if they'd already done it she would have told me, which means they've gotten to me first. Must be because she's so weak, beat the answers out of me and … oh my god, put her life on the line" if they realised they could use Sophie's life as an anchor I was probably screwed, and if they tortured her too then we needed to give the same answers. I thought, the less time we've had to master our powers, the less of a threat they'd expect us to be so a shorter amount of time is better then a longer.
"Now then, I'll only ask one more time; how long have you had your abilities?" Zachariah questioned. I hesitated for a minute before answering
"Two years, we got them on our seventeenth birthday" I said, filling my voice with regret. He smiled
"Very good, now we're off to a good start"
"Are you going to actually answer my question if I ask one?" I questioned, he didn't say anything "Who's we?" I asked
"My kind" he actually answered, I was surprised I didn't expect him too actually reply
"What's your kind?" I asked, he shook his head and I felt the pinch again, I screamed
"One questioned each, that was two" he said when I finished screaming. I glared at him while panting, screaming was hard work. "Now, what is it you and your sister think you are?" he wondered, I thought, that one couldn't be to bad to answer truthfully, I could always lie about some of our powers.
"Elementals" I answered
"Why's that?" he questioned, I glared
"I believe it's my turn" I reminded him. He sighed "My previous question" I reminded him
"My kind are very old and are the top race of this world, we're one of the oldest creations, created by God himself." he answered
"You didn't really answer the question" I noticed, he grinned
"It's an answer"
"But not the full answer"
"Sorry, I didn't believe there were rules" he smirked
"Why you…" I felt the prick and had to remind myself to scream.
"Now what is it you and your sister can do?" he questioned
"I thought you already knew that" I admitted
"Oh I know some things, I just want to know the details" he nodded
"I can manipulate the elements fire and earth, while Sophie can manipulate water and air." I had to stop myself there before I gave away to much, I couldn't say anything about Sophie at the present time because I wasn't supposed to know anything about her condition or her cage. "How have you been searching for us for so long? We're only nineteen" I asked, he chuckled
"You think you're only nineteen." I was about to ask another question but stopped
"That's not an answer" I decided on
"It's half the answer" he corrected me. I grounded my teeth, if he was going to play these games then no way was I going to just give straight answers anymore.
"What happened to you in the beginning?" Zach had began to pace
"A lot" I answered, he stopped and looked at me, I felt the twinge and screamed. Dumb idiot, that wasn't going to work. Their was silence until I caught my breath
"How old am I really?" I questioned
"You didn't answer my question" he shook his head
"Neither have you" I reminded him "Why should I give you full answers if you don't?" I spat, another prick followed by another fake scream, they were pretty good if I do say so myself.
"That's why"
"Do it all you want, if you're not going to answer me properly then no way am I going to give you what you want" I admitted. Another twinge. Screaming was something I could do all day, it wasn't difficult, my lung capacity was larger then most humans so I wasn't running out of breath and I wasn't in any real pain. "I'll put up with it forever before I tell you anything more" I felt another prick but this one was a little harder then the others so I guessed he'd upped the anti, so, I screamed harder. These people were true idiots, thinking they could just come up and torture me, you don't torture someone unless you know everything about them. Then again if they knew everything, they wouldn't be asking me questions. When I was done with my horrifying scream I glared at Zachariah. I then remembered something, if my hands weren't tied and being suppressed I would have punched myself in the face for being so bloody stupid. If I got hurt there'd be an earthquake, if Sophie was hurt there'd be a tornado. If there were several earthquakes and tornados in the same place then the Cullens and the pack would know where we were, after realising we were the cause of them of course… but that would put several people in danger. Also if these people found out about that then they'd know if I was feeling pain or not… unless I told them it only worked with physical pain, which I'm pretty sure it did. I wasn't sure, no one had ever caused me pain through my mind before. But I couldn't put innocent people in danger for that kind of thing, Sophie and I would be alright. Though, I guess the real question was, would the boys. We were like their air, and we'd been taken away, how was Jacob and Embry dealing with this? If there were a few earth tremors in the same place, enough for it to get on TV, would it give them some realisation and then some reassurance… then again they knew that meant that we was in pain so maybe it wasn't a smart idea, they didn't know if either one of us was hurt or not. The question was, did I bring them here or not, I now knew I could, but should I? If these people could knock both Sophie and I out somehow and then kidnap us, was it then too dangerous for the werewolves and vampires? They couldn't even lay a finger on us, how would they fair against these people? No. I wasn't risking that, I wouldn't bring them here, I couldn't do that, it was to risky. I knew that they'd say I was being stupid, but I really had no idea what these people were capable of. I couldn't put any of their lives at risk for something that I knew I could get out of, I just needed to figure out how.
"So you're not going to talk at all?" Zachariah asked, snapping me out of my thoughts, jeez the one time I wish I was alone in that cage again and I wasn't, how bloody ironic.
"Are you going to give me what I want? You seemed rather eager to answer Sophie when you attacked her, almost like it would piss someone off." I admitted, I saw the corner of his mouth twitch as though he was trying not to smile. I knew then I'd done it and I smiled
"You were weren't you? You were trying to piss someone off. Who do you hate so much as to want to do that?" I wondered. Once again I almost forgot to scream when I felt the small, painless prick. "Don't feel like talking about it do we?" I wondered when I was done.
"If you control fire, does that make your weakness water?" he suddenly asked, ignoring what I'd said completely. I scoffed
"Yeah right, it doesn't work like that, you could throw all the water you wanted at me but it wouldn't have any effect on me." was he trying to find our weaknesses? If he threw water on me then I'd just raise my temperature to dry it off within a second or I'd use electricity instead.
"Then how does it work?" he wondered
"Oh you're just dying to know aren't you" I smirked "Well to bad, I'm not stupid enough to tell you that" another twinge and another scream. I wondered whether Sophie could hear my screams or not, if she could, I wonder if she was freaking out for me, or angry, or if she was strong enough to feel those. That got me thinking as to how they were going to torture Sophie without giving her much air and be in the same room at the same time.
"I bet they have some sort of plan" I muttered.
"Tell me, what do you believe in?" Zachariah suddenly wondered. I gave him a confused look
"As in?"
"Myths, legends, stories" he listed
"A lot of things obviously, I'm not exactly in a position to say something doesn't exist now am I" I reminded him annoyed
"So you've never questioned what might be out there?" he asked
"What kind of stupid question is that, of course I have"
"Like what?"
"Why do you care?" he didn't answer me so I ground my teeth in frustration, he might be trying to give me answers with his stupid and annoying 'beat around the bush' technique. "Everything. Werewolves, shapeshifters, vampires" obviously "Wizards, witches, ghosts, ghouls, changelings, djinn's, demons, angels" I didn't realise that Zach stopped walking then "Dragons, wraiths, reapers, zombies, skin crawlers, hellhounds, elementals" I was trying to think of some things I'd seen on TV to make my list as long as possible. I suddenly realised he was watching me "Is that a satisfying list for you?" I asked annoyed.
"That's quite a list" he smirked
"And you're annoying, now are you actually going to give me a straight answer or not?" I glared. Naturally he didn't answered me. "What the hell is the point of this?" I raged at him, he grinned and I felt the twinge. If it weren't for that twinge I would have forgotten to scream. I was getting pretty annoyed at screaming too.
"How many of those do you actually know information about?" he wondered
"Not all of them, I know things about werewolves, shapeshifters and vampires" it's be kind of sad if I didn't know anything about those. "I've done a little research on angels, then there are just the myths and stories or TV shows you see about the rest, though I don't know if they're stereo types or not" I confessed. I remembered something he'd said before
"My kind are very old and are the top race of this world, we're one of the oldest creations, created by God himself." God? I wasn't sure if I believed in the God like christians and catholics did, I believed in the greek gods, they were cool, but one God for the whole universe? That didn't sound right. What about being made by 'God' made him so important, apparently in the stories humans were created by God but he seemed to think they were insignificant, like he was better.
"Tell me, what do your parents do?" he asked
"My dad's a doctor, mum's kind of between jobs" I admitted, I would have hit myself in the head for saying that, I basically just gave up where my dad spends his time. I so hoped Carlisle was keeping an eye on him now, the same with Billy and Sue for mum.
"Is that what they told you" he muttered, I looked at him confused, how the hell would he know anything about them "What do you know about their pasts?" he continued
"Not much" I answered slowly "They met in college, dad was being a doctor and mum was studying sales and business and things like that. They went to separate high schools, they got married and moved where they had Sophie and I" I wasn't giving up any locations, but that was pretty much the story, well in a summarised version.
"Huh, how creative" he commented
"What's creative?" I asked, he looked at me for a second, almost surprised I'd heard him before he smiled
"Their lies" I glared at him hard, how the hell would he know if they'd lied… sure Sophie and I had started questioning it but how did he know?
"How the hell would you know?" I questioned
"We know a lot of things, this just happens to be one of the many" again with the bloody we?!
"Seriously? More beating around the bush? What the hell is wrong with just giving me a straight answer?" I demanded
"It's not as entertaining" he smirked. I felt my hair get hot and my eyes changed colour as my anger boiled up inside me. He just smiled. I needed to calm down, I couldn't give him such a satisfaction as to let him get to me. I took a deep breath and felt myself clam down as I reminded myself that eventually I'd give this all back to him, but it'd be a lot more painful.
"Two years and you have such control?" he questioned
"It helps when you sneak out and spend every day practicing" I spat. It wasn't a complete lie, Sophie and I had done that, just not every day.
"Sneak out? Do your parents not know about you then?" he asked, there was some sort of shock behind his words
"Of course not, that's why we had to sneak out" as far as we knew they were clueless at least
"Well, if you spent so much time 'practicing', then you obviously you have too much free time on your hands" he sneered, I was about to retaliated when I felt a jolt on my cuffs, I looked at one of the ones around my wrist before I was suddenly flung backwards. I turned around to see the door to my room had reappeared and the cuffs released my legs and one of my arms before throwing me into my cage. I hit the glass wall, before falling to the floor, bashing my head on the bed end as I did.
"Bloody hell" I groaned and rubbed my head as I laid on the ground for a bit before looking at the glass where I'd hit it
"Not even a scratch" I muttered, I might have been impressed by the strength of this glass, if my annoyance at it wasn't stronger. I just laid on the floor for ages, I guess he was finished giving me answers for today. I groaned. Was I going to have to go through all this frustration everyday?
"What happened?" I heard Sophie asked, I dropped my shields
"Some form of torture to get info out of me" I admitted
"Info about what?"
"Us" I got off of the floor and climbed my way up onto my bed, my body had healed and I felt normal again.
"Jeez. Why are they so interested in us?" she questioned annoyed
"Because we're unique and there's no one like us among them" I repeated what Zachary had said.
"Are you alright?" she asked concerned
"Yeah, I only felt the pain once" I confessed
"How?" she questioned
"Well, it was an illusion"
"What was?"
"The pain" I answered
"How do you mean?"
"Well, there was a searing pain that went through my head, but I wasn't injured, I'm not sure how to explain it but I knew it was just an illusion." I explained
"So how come you only felt it once?"
"I put my shields up after the first time and found that it was like a pinch or a prick against my shields"
"But, nothing ever effects our shields, we never feel it when something's gonna enter our minds?" she thought
"Yeah, I know, it's kind of like it's pushing against it, it doesn't hurt, but it's kind of annoying." I admitted
"But then how come I heard so many screams?" she questioned
"So you could hear it?"
"Yeah, it was kind of terrifying." she worried
"Don't worry I'm fine, I was screaming every time I felt the twinge" I described
"Why?"
"So that these people didn't know anything about my mental abilities, if they knew about that they might try to stop us from communicating from one another. And if they realised that then they'd find another way to torture us. I'd much rather scream then have that happen." I explained
"I guess that's fair enough. That's really smart thinking" she said almost surprised
"What's with the tone of surprise?" I questioned
"Nothing…" I rolled my eyes
"I do have a brain remember"
"Yeah I know, you just don't use it very often" she commented
"Thanks" I muttered sarcastically
"You're welcome" she chuckled. I suddenly realised that Sophie sounded much better
"Soph, you sound much better now then before…" I commented
"Oh, yeah that's cause I am feeling better" she answered
"How?"
"Well, although I don't have much oxygen I still breath out CO₂. I took the oxygen from the carbon dioxide and I'm using that." she explained
"How long did it take you to realise that?" I wondered
"I was too busy trying to breath"
"Does that mean you can get out now?" I asked a little hopeful
"No. It's not enough for me to muster that much energy, it's enough to let me sit up. Plus, I've been thinking, using my gravity will crush the cage, and probably me inside it, but it wont pop it open." she explained
"What about your density?" I questioned
"It requires a lot of water, which has oxygen in it, unfortunately I'm only getting enough oxygen to breath and for my body to use, like through my blood stream"
"What about from the water they're giving you?" I asked
"They're only giving me enough to live"
"Jeez, you have it rough" I muttered
"Tell me about it" she complained
"But you're still feeling better?" I wondered
"Much" she smiled.
"Good, cause I need to inform you of a few things." I admitted
"Like?"
"Well, I lied about how long we've had our powers, I said we'd had them for two years, because the less time we've had them, then the less practice we've had and then that makes us less of a threat. So, to them, we got our abilities on our seventeenth birthday."
"Right… I guess that makes some sense" she admitted "Did you manage to get any information out of him?"
"I don't know, I might have but he did so much bush beating I was ready to explode the room." I admitted grounding my teeth.
"Well, what did you find?" she questioned. I sighed and racked my brain trying to make sense of it all
"He said his kind is who 'we' are, and when I asked him what his kind was he said 'My kind are very old and are the top race of this world, we're one of the oldest creations, created by God himself.' " I remembered perfectly
"God? As in God?" she questioned surprised
"I don't know, I didn't get to ask" I admitted "We were talking about myths and legends"
"Why?"
"He asked me what I believed in, if I believed in other myths"
"How did he react to your list?"
"He said it was a long list"
"Were you watching him?" she questioned
"No, not really…" I realised I was too busy trying to think of things
"So you don't know if he had a reaction?"
"Why is that important?" I questioned
"Because he might have had a reaction to one of the things you listed." she said, I could hear the disappointment in her voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Sorry, the guy was pissing me off" I admitted
"What else did he say?"
"He asked my about our parents, what they did, I told him but he just said 'is that what they told you' and when I told him about their lives, he said that he thought their lying was creative" I remembered, closing my eyes "I don't think I was meant to hear that because he gave me a weird look"
"Great, now you've told him that our senses are kind of good" she grumbled
"I didn't mean it" I muttered
"I know"
"Well, now I know what not to ask him" Sophie admitted
"No. Now you know to ask very specific questions, you need to be specific or he wont answer you straight out" I warned
"Cunning" she thought
"You need to out smart him" I nodded "But then, I don't know how they're going to remove you without giving you air"
"Well, might mean our escape" I could hear the smile in her thoughts.
"Let's hope so, I'm now stuck back in this cage… I might die of boredom"
"You're such a child, always complaining" Sophie sighed
"Not always" I sighed
"You know, we're currently kind of calm about being kidnapped and stuck in cages" she noticed
"Yeah, I'd noticed that, it's like we've been sent to our rooms by our parents or something" I chuckled
"I wonder why we're so calm…"
"Well, we're not exactly miserable. We're not in pain, we're just… here" I thought
"Guess that's a big deal" she muttered. I sighed "I wonder how the boys are doing?" she asked after a while
"I've been thinking about that too" I mumbled
"I hope they're not too stressed out and sad" she frowned. "If only I could give them some sing to say I'm ok, it'd make me feel better"
"Guess my plans out of the question then" I sighed
"What plan?"
"To get everyone to find us" I admitted
"How?"
"By getting hurt"
"How will us getting hurt help them?"
"Because when we get hurt there's a natural disaster in the area." I reminded her
"Oh" she muttered
"But they know that that means we're injured and I didn't think they needed to know that. They might be stressed enough as it is" I mumbled
"Stressing them is the last thing I want to do"
"How about, we leave it as a last minute resource?" I suggested
"Alright, but only as the very last"
"Absolutely. I'm not exactly very content with bringing them all here anyway, who knows if they'd be strong enough to take these people on"
"You're doubting them?" Sophie smirked
"Well, they can never beat us in our mock battles, but these people kidnapped us…"
"Yeah by knocking us out with gas" Sophie remembered
"Well, I just don't want to take the risk alright, just in case" I said seriously
"Alright" she allowed, but I could tell she agreed with my reasoning.
Third Person's POV.
"How'd we do?" Zachariah asked as he leaned over someone in an experimental room. There were several computers showing the white room where he'd questioned Cat.
"The readings are significantly higher then the normal. The amount of power circulating through her is immense" the man sitting down answered as he read over some data on his computer. An image of Cat came up and she became a black silhouette before some red wavily lines appeared on the right and her body slowly turned red. "When she was first tied up, her body temperature increased to temperatures well over 300˚C. A human's only reaches 36 and ours only goes to 65" he continued. Zachariah looked over the readings
"And this little bleep?" he asked pointing to what looked like a heart monitor
"It stayed pretty stable for most of the test" the man answered
"Most?"
"Every now and then it skipped a beat"
"When was that?"
"Every time she screamed" the man admitted
"Could that be from the pain?"
"Maybe. But it's a considerably low reaction for such torture"
"So…" Zachariah questioned
"So her body is a lot tougher then we thought and can withstand quite a bit of damage" he explained. Zachariah stood up and looked at the screen for a bit longer
"Hmm." He turned to the one next to it, it had a picture of Sophie, but there was no data recorded yet. "Are the facilities ready yet?"
"Almost, we only need a few more hours before it's ready" the man nodded
"Good" and Zachariah turned around and left the room with a smirk on his face.
