Mara
The purple haired girl grinned... then Distance disappeared. Frowning and wanting to stuff and apple down his throat, Mara set off by herself. She looked around at all of the familiar sights, yet so foreign. It was strange, this was supposed to be home, but they had run away. Home was war, so war was home? Maybe she should stop thinking so deeply and do what she did best- act on emotion and instinct. (But mainly emotion.)
Walking around, she realized that there were no stairs in the mansion. What did Father have against exercise? Oh my goodness, was he trying to make all his little children fat so he could munch on them, eating up their skulls and licking them clean. Despite how truly terrible and morbid the thought was, Mara laughed a bit. It sounded exactly like the kind of thing that Father would do. She wouldn't be surprised if he was. So he was a pedophile, cannibal, and some sort mastermind scientist dictator? Huh, she'd have to remember to share that with Charade and Distance. If she could find them and get out of here alive that is.
She entered the elevator and looked at all of the buttons. She could hardly remember where anything was other than her room, the lab, and the forbidden eighth floor. Forbidden. It made everything seem so much more dangerous. Risky, deadly, something you would rather jump off a cliff than do. Yet, it tempted you. Psychology was weird.
Mara quickly pressed all of the buttons at the same time, wondering what it would do. The elevator beeped angrily at her. So she punched the door. It beeped again and started moving, but no floor had been selected. She'd managed to screw up the precious elevator? Cool! She punched it again and it stopped. Figuring she was probably near one of the other floors, she pushed the open the door button. Nothing happened.
"Crap," she mumbled. She'd done stupid things during her lifetime. Like lighting her house on fire and not getting out fast enough. Or the time that she took away Distance's apple. Plus the time she'd jumped out of her room window to see if her powers worked on her. None of those situations resulted in much good. But hey, she was a kid at heart. She couldn't help it.
"Distance!" she hollered, banging on the door of the elevator. "Distance! Get me outta here!"
