Camila watched as Greyson tried to figure out a way to get out. Cami had a few ideas herself, but they all involved using her powers. Still, they needed to get out. Not that she minded being in a room alone with him, but she could hardly function from the nerves. Not to mention there was his daughter. This was no condition for a child to be in. "I-I think I have an idea" she said quietly, knowing that what she was about to do was dangerous for many reasons. She took a deep breath and stepped closer to the wall furthest away from Grayson and Kelsey. She pressed both hands and her ear against it and closed her eyes. There was an awful lot of noise for just a wall. By the way the sound waves traveled, it seemed like there was something protecting the walls all around the room. "There's some kind of electric shield guarding the wall" she stated, wanting to fill Greyson in on what was going on. There was a possibility she could break it apart, but the would require a ridiculous amount of energy. Still, she had to try. She backed up a step or two, keeping her hands on the wall, making a small thumping noise with her thumb. She could feel the wall's structure trying to break apart, but the shield wouldn't let it. Regardless, she continued to try until the shield fought back, appearing in a silver outline for a second sending her backwards onto the floor before disappearing again.
TĂĄlia stood her ground, staring down the hooded figure only a few feet away from her. She wasnât scared, not in the least. Quite the opposite, she was angry and needed someone to take that anger out on. The figure didnât move nor speak, as if it were waiting for TĂĄlia to make the first move. âAlright bud start talkingâ she demanded, folding her arms across her chest. âWho the hell are you and why am I here?â. An odd sound came from the figure, something that sounded like laughter. Taliaâs face twisted in annoyance as it stopped laughing and began to speak. âYouâve got some nerveâ. His comment only made her want to punch him in the face even more, if that were possible. âWrong answerâ she spat. âAnd at least have the decency to take off that hood while youâre talking to a ladyâ. TĂĄlia was fed up with all this nonsense. All she wanted was to bash the thingâs face in and go back home to her friends. The figure laughed again but did as she asked and removed the hood. Taliaâs face arranged into a repulsed expression and she waved her hand towards him. âNever mind, keep it onâ. This time though, it didnât listen, but only stepped closer and closer. TĂĄlia attempted to move, but her entire body was suddenly paralyzed. She shouted at him to let her go, her body temperature easing rapidly, but it only causedthe opposite effect. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up off the ground, leaving her gasping for air. âTell your friends that Iâm ready for themâ and before she had the chance to respond, several electrical currents ran through her body. TĂĄlia screamed in agony but there was nothing she could do. She felt as if her skin was being ripped off of her bones. After getting the desired effect, the figure let her fall to the ground with a thump, covered in cuts and bruises. âIf you surviveâ. And just as he had appeared, he was gone, leaving her a battered lump on the floor. This was it, she was alone, she was paralyzed and she was seconds from dying. Her entire body hurt, her skin was burnt in several places and her bones destroyed. She couldnât move or speak, but the tears rolled down her face like a waterfall. She didnât care about dying, she cared about the fact that sheâd have to leave her brother, Cami and Ophelia behind to deal with the consequences.
Remi watched as Mathew retreated and sat on the floor. He apologized for some reason after Remiâs comment, and Remi immediately felt awful. He didnât mean it in the way that Mathew took it. Despite his fears, he knew he had to fix it. âHey...I was joking* he clarified, leaning down in front of him. Heâs even cute when heâs upset he thought then mentally kicked himself. That was enough of that. âCome one, I have an ideaâ he said, taking Mathewâs hand and pulling him up before he could protest. Maybe if they combined powers they could get somewhere. Just as Remi was about to explain this, something in the atmosphere change. There was a sudden negative energy. Two in fact, and they were close. He didnât recognize one of them, but he would have bet his life that the other was Taliaâs. âTalia-!â he almost yelped as he moved closer to the wall. There was something very wrong here.
Ezra continued to examine the wall, taking Willowâs suggestion into full consideration. âItâs worth a shot!â he said, taking a few steps away from the wall. Last he remembered it was night time, and if that was still the case he couldnât count on using the solar energy. Heâd just have to rely on whatever was beyond these walls. He closed his eyes and faced his palms upwards. Merely seconds later there was a multicolored glow surrounding them. He remained still and silent as the glow began spreading from his hands to his entire body, covering it what looked like a blanket made out of a star filled sky. When he thought he had enough energy, he opened his eyes and step towards the wall again, pressing both hands against it and letting the accumulated energy flow from his body into the wall structure. Here was a loud clap of what sounded like thunder, and the wall began to glow a light silver. Not two seconds later, though, it was gone and the wall was back to normal, as if nothing even happened. âWellâŠâ he said scratching ghee back of his head. âThat was embarrassing.â
