Allison Cortalli's Story

Corazón looked around her, still keeping her mouth shut. 'What's going on? Are we escaping?' She kept her eyes forward, but still seeing everything within her vision. She finally opened her mouth to speak, although she spoke softly. "What's happening? What are you doing? And how can I help?"

She saw a few guards coming their way. Bracing her feet onto the ground, Corazón opened her mouth and let out a sonic screech, The sounds waves burst forward from her vocal cords as they went forth and made the guards fly and smash into the wall. "I guess that works, right?" She said turning back towards the others. "If there's anything I can do, I'd be glad to do it."

Finch woke up from her bed in a gasp. What was that sound?

...A wolf howl. It was just another test subject, or caged animal, or whatever was happening outside of her room. Sighing, she let her tired body bounce back unto the rough bed. Maybe she'd have some time to sleep some more before testing. Her eyes were only closed for a minute, then she shot straight up once she heard the muffled sounds of someone yelling outside...

"In here? Here?? Is this it? Why here???"

Suddenly, a panel of the wall slid open, revealing two guards holding a boy by his shoulders. Finch was blinded by the new light from outside, and squinted. Sometimes, the light in her own room was so bright, that she forgot that there was a sliding panel by the front wall. It was so hard to see. The guards pushed the boy in, much to his surprise.

"Hey! What was that for? It's like you two don't even know who I AM!!"
"Shut up," one of the guards exclaimed with force. He then pointed at Finch, "Be nice."

The panel closed, and the boy stared at the now white wall. Finch still sat straight on her bed. Both had feelings of awe radiating through their bodies. Silence.
It was the new boy who took the initiative to speak first.
"I can't believe it! You'd think they'd treat me with more respect! Geez...."
He was still facing the wall as he abruptly broke the silence. His voice was a little bit too loud and erratic for Finch's comprehension. She didn't want to admit it to herself, but his voice sounded vaguely familiar, as if she had heard it once before. Once he turned around to face her, she knew why. He had light brown hair with dirty blonde streaks, his eyes were a quaint hazel, and his body was long and lean. She had seen him wandering around the facility dozens of times before. He was the son of one of the scientists.

How on earth was he in here with her? More importantly, why? Was this some sort of punishment for him? Why would the child of the scientists be sentenced to this torture?
"So uhhh......hi."
He was introducing himself. Finch didn't want to speak. She couldn't speak, not right now. There were too many questions in her mind. She was still in utter shock. To keep from being rude, she gave him an acknowledging nod. Although it wasn't the response he seemed to be looking for, he gave her a polite yet grim smile.
"I'm Douglas. You can call me Doug. Uhhhmmm...." his eyebrows scrunched up, as if trying to remember something, "do you like basketball?"
The question came out so randomly and awkwardly, it threw Finch off track.
"...What?"
"Y'know, the sport? Do you....do you know what it is? Do you like it?"
She knew she wouldn't be able to stand this. Not only was he annoyingly loud, but he was strange as well. She wondered if this would be worse than her wrists being pricked with sharp needles every day.
"I...uhhh...."

Suddenly, the boy's head jerked to the wall.
"What the....what's going on out there??"
Finch got up from the bed, and briskly walked to the where he stood. She leaned her ear against the hard white wall. Her eyes flickered as she listened. She gasped, and then turned to the 17-year-old. She was full of electricity as she exclaimed, "There's a commotion going on outside. Somebody's trying to escape! Quick, try to get their attention!"
Finch started screaming and banging the wall with her fists like a maniac. Once she got out of the room, escape would be so easy for her. She was just about to start mapping out the route she would take in her head, when she felt two sturdy arms grabbing her around her stomach. The boy was much stronger than he looked.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me!!" she struggled, but he brought her arms down below her head, and was already dragging her away from the wall, towards the center of the room. He cupped his hand around her mouth, and shushed her.
"Keep quiet, will you??? If you make a racket, that crazy mutant will come and find us, and most likely kill us! Do you want to get hurt or killed??"
"WHAT?!?!" Finch screamed, but the sound of her voice came out muffled thanks to his clammy palm over her mouth. She was shocked, and disgusted beyond belief. The moment she had been waiting for was here, perhaps the only time she would ever be able to escape, but this lunatic was preventing her from having her chance. He was insane. He was beyond normal. She struggled and tried to kick him, but she couldn't. Somehow he knew every move she was about to make. She would be stranded inside this room forever with the world's craziest man.

Alli leaped up, guards were already coming in. Adrenaline pumping, teeth bared, and eyes flashing, Alli extended her wings as far as they could go. She felt so freaking powerful, but her wings hurt, and use hurt all over. This pain fueled her anger. She started to growl. After electro-guy gave his little speech about fighting, a lli nodded to him in a strange wolf-like way, trying to say that yes she would fight, and boy would she enjoy it.

----

Ky shrugged as the electricity guy took the lead. Ky wasn't much of a leader anyway, but if the situation demanded it, he would. Hey. I'm sorry for being...rude. I am scared. Nevertheless...’ Ky almost jumped into the air. Someone was touching his shoulder. What had he just heard. Looking up at him was the girl with white hair. He smiled. ‘Do you have a plan? If we are to get out, we will need one. By the way, my name is Serina.’ Ky turned towards her. "Hi Serina. My name is Kyle. But I prefer Ky. I'm not sure about a plan. Stay alive I guess. If anything happens, stay behind me. I will protect you" he said. Odd. He felt such a strong urge to protect her.

With a loud crack, the door in the back burst open, guards flooding in. The girl in the glass box who had come out emitted a strange sound, and guards started dropping. There was a dull silence, but then Ky heard pounding and screaming before it abruptly stopped. Turning to the girl with the sonic scream, he asked "Did you hear that?" But it was too late to dwell much on it because more guards came in. Ky was still weak from using telekinesis, but he must protect Serina.

A guards came running toward them, and using his ming, he picked the guy up and flung him across the room. Another guard came, and using a rolling cage, he slammed the cage into the guard. Already he was feeling weak

----

Alli saw the guards come in. Some of them dropped to the ground, from some ear splitting sound a girl was emitting. Alli saw more guards come in, and with ferocity and viciousness, Alli let out a howl that rang throughout the room. Then Alli leaped into the air. She worked her wings up in down, trying to keep low to the ground. He clumsiness helped her in this case, because her massive furry blob rammed into at least three guards, mowing them down. Alli half landed half skidded to a halt not he ground, and launched herself at the nearest guard. Her long canines sunk into his neck and she pushed him away, and jumped to the next guard, he huge clawed paws slamming into him and crushing ribs. However, she was stopped cold by a painful shock to her back.

Alli yelped, falling to the ground. taser? Alli twitched uncontrollably, but regained herself and got back up, snarling at the man, before sinking her teeth into his flesh.

---

Ky enjoyed rolling his little cage cart around, running over guards, or just picking them up and flinging them. However, Wolfy was tearing them to shreds. it was disgusting to watch... but it was getting the job done.

Sari opened her eyes slowly and watched Stefano coming her way. She wasn't sure what he was planning, but she was sure that she wasn't going with him if he wanted to get away from this place. She couldn't go with him, she just couldn't. There was no where she could go to. She had no family, and she didn't know where they would live if she would have any. And if Stefano would leave her after they had reached a safe distant, she would not survive for long. She didn't know where to go, how to get food, how to get anything she needed. She wouldn't survive for a week. And that made her the most scared.

As she watched some kids breaking free, Stefano reached her cage. She looked at him as he told her that they were going to be free, and she shook her head. Sari curled around the bars in the back of her cage as he broke open the lock. He reached out to her, but she just shook her head. She couldn't, not even if she wanted. This was her home, and she didn't want to leave her home. This was the only safe place she knew.

Alli killed guards, and with eased it seemed. Ky was doing something as well to protect himself from the guards. Finch was struggling to get away. Everyone seemed in a hurry to get away. Sari looked at Stefano, and knew he wouldn't leave without her. But this might be his only chance ever to escape. ''Go,'' she mumbled, hoping he could understand her. It was audible, but not the best, her speech was bad. ''Go... leave... not me...'' She bit her lip and curled up as tight as possible. No, she wasn't going.

''Go... leave... not me...'' Sari said, what made Stefano sigh. He stroke her back, then stood up. ''Hold on a moment,'' he said as he heard some banging from a wall. He walked over to it and saw it was actually a panel. ''Guys, there is a room behind this wall and I think there are more people behind it. I don't think I can break it, so someone should check it out and open the panel'' he said and pointed to the wall while walking back to Sari. ''Sari... I know how long you have been here, how old you are, and what they have done to you, and that you are scared. But I won't leave you, even if we are safe. I will stay with as long as we are free. I will stay by you, care for you and protect you,'' Stefano said and hold his hand out to her.

Stefano watched the others as he reached out to her. ''Guys if she doesn't want to come, I'm going to stay with her. No buts or try to argue with me, or even think of forcing me out. Cause Sari has had it a lot worse and deserves someone who cares for her,'' Stefano said, looking back at Sari and keeping his hand stuck out to her. ''I promise Sari, I will stay with you even if it means that I'm going to stay here with you forever, but I will comfort and care for you like you were my own.''

Tris quickly checked out the panel as the newbie asked him to. 'Ha.. not so high for a voltage.... Well,,, that part is that, so if I make a tiny bit of push here and then pull there...... There we go. That's more like it.' he thought as the bared doors opened. He saw that all his other friends were doing pretty well on their own. Then, he saw Roxanne.... never mind. Roxanne"S" coming near them to protect the Sari and Newbie combo that was giving a little personal moment of whether leaving or not.

"And I thought you would be the one to be behind.... Where did you learn to fight like that??" Tris said as he picked up an empty cage and threw it at some of the guards who probably thought they would need their firearms and was reaching for them. "I don't mind if you wanna die so bad and decided to just ignore my "Don't die" speech but I would rather have you alive.... Isn't it obvious?? Who would dare stand next to a criminal who just attacked a citizen of the United State of America, infiltrated a top secret research lab and posses abilities that exceed and pose a threat to national security but a accomplice like you??" Tris said to Roxanne in a joking tone.

Tris controlled the empty cages nearby and created a handy barricade infront of Sari, Newbie and Roxanne. Then he picked up the guns, a charity from the guards who just went out and handed them to Roxanne.....s. "Here. Do you know how to use them?? Never mind... its simple... You aim and you shoot and their dead... hopefully." Tris said. There was something to that girl making the air joyfuller even when there were mutated teenagers killing armed guards around. Ha... that was kinda funny.

Corazón kept to herself, mostly still thinking to herself in her head. 'Since we're escaping, might as well try to help, I guess...' She saw more guards coming around the corner with tazers in their hands. She belted another screech that literally swept the guards off their feet and into the wall. 'That should do it for a while...'

She looked around and saw the wolf girl sink her fangs into one of the guards'necks. She shuddered thinking of the feeling of those fangs digging into her own neck. 'That's probably gonna hurt in the morning if he ever wakes up...' Corazón saw everyone keep fighting, while she stood in her braced stance. 'What else can I do?'

Serina nodded as Kyle informed her of his thoughts, not that she really needed to know verbally, but it was a briefly comforting thought to feel even the slightest bit normal. "Hi Serina. My name is Kyle. But I prefer Ky. I'm not sure about a plan. Stay alive I guess. If anything happens, stay behind me. I will protect you" Serina fell in behind him, willing to do anything to stay out of harm's way. Heaven forbid she die just because she didn't have such strong powers as all the others. She peered around Kyle at the bloodied sight ahead of them. The wolf had torn into the guards and the sight was enough to bring a fresh batch of nausea swinging right into Serina's stomach. She raised her hand to her mouth and unconsciously grabbed Kyle's hand. The strange girl who had been silent til now let out a sound so loud that it made Serina's head pound. Although, she knew she was just picking up on the pain from all the killing around her. She tried to keep the feelings boxed in lest she transmit the feeling to someone nearby. Serina's eyes watered with the struggle but Kyle looked worser off. She felt him tire and stepped in front of him hoping that her passive power would work.

The guard paused amidst all the bloodshed and killing. 'Stop. Don't move. Why bother moving when all your friends, your coworkers, and your bosses are all dead? Don't I want to leave? If I don't leave, the killing won't stop. It will go all the way back to where your wife, and your one son are sleeping at home. I will lose them too. The mutants won't be happy if I try and hurt them.' The guard started to struggle against her persuasion but she persisted, squinting in effort. 'They might be pleased only if I die. I need to die. There is nothing left. No one will miss me.' Her voice had taken on his own and now she could feel his brainwaves shift, just slightly. 'Yes, its now or never. Maybe I should just take my life, rather than die at the hands of a defiled mutant. Yes, that's right. I should take my gun and do it. I won't let them have the final say on my life.' By this point, the guard raised his pistol and pointed it at his forehead. Serina staggered forward and lightly touched his arm. 'Goodbye.' She felt the brief flicker of pain before sleep began to tug at her conscious. It was as if everything slowed down to a point, teetering on the edge of an abyss so deep that there would be no coming back. She ripped her hand off of the guard and frowned, staring down at his limp body beneath her. In all, the exchange had taken only a few seconds.

Serina looked over her shoulder to Kyle with a painful smile. However, it was quickly interrupted as a sharp thought came across clearly through the din of pain, fear, and anger. "Someone is nearby. They can't get out and someone is stopping them." Serina turned and ran past a guard being beaten back by some cages and slipped out into the halls. She continued to run, blinded by her emotions and powers, until she reached a door. A keypad sat beside the door and Serina stared at it. "I need a passcode." Serina reached for the keypad, extending her powers to any person nearby and ignored the ones inside the room. Several guards were thinking about the mutants and thoughts swirled around in a pool of knowledge but it wasn't what she needed. The white-haired girl reached for any deeper thoughts and sent out a mass message with a few words attached, 'passcode, sliding door' Serveral key codes appeared instantly and Serina tried them all until a five digit code finally registered. The doors opened up to reveal two figures struggling. The lights in the room blinded Serina but she ran in and pushed the two figures hoping that one would give way to her feeble attempt to separate them. "We need to go!" She screeched, her scratchy unused voice almost too soft for any real scream but it was enough she supposed. As there eyes adjusted to the light she saw the female who she had heard before and a strange male who felt...off. She squared off against the male and raised her fists. "Leave her alone." She felt the tremble go through her short body but at least she had some courage left. She directed her thoughts to the female. 'All of the mutants are escaping. I heard you before but I can't fight too well...I hope you know how to run. The door probably won't stay open for too much longer.'

Stefano sighed and got in the cage of Sari then he hug her gently "guys i'm sorry.......just go without me. I will just be keeping you all back cause i will feel bad for Sari. as she will get tortured, hurt, experimented on and have no one to comfort or care for her."Stefano said and rock sari gently "Even if it means i will never breath fresh air again or never see sunlight ever again. it will be all worth it to me knowing i gave this girl someone who cared and comfort her"

Stefano told them and watch them "just go! be free! live your lives!" Stefano Said to them and smiled happily "don't worry about me at all I will find a way out but only if Sari comes with me not earlier, so GO! SAFE YOURSELVES!"

Stefano sigh as he felt Sari push him off and tell him to go, then he turned Roxanne "yes I'm serious! If you knew what they did you would do the same! And since you don't, don't argue about it" he told her and look back at Sari "Sari please, if I go with the others I will just be a burden to them all, Cause I will just feel bad and sad all the time if we get free and even on the way out I will, Cause I know I have left someone who could be with us. The thoughts of us being free and you crying alone in your cage makes me feel horrible and mad" Stefano told her and hug the crying girl

"So if you stay, I stay with you. If you go, I go with you. cause I know you need someone to comfort you and calm you down when you are crying and I know everything about you Sari, your name, your age, how long you have been here, the torture you have been through, the experiments they have done and even your family. I find it horrible what happened" Stefano said and let a tear fall "you deserve someone who cares for you and I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you" Stefano said and rock her gently and caringly as he hug her and cried

Sari realised he wasn’t going. He wasn’t going, no matter what she would do. He wouldn’t care if she would reject him, push him away over and over again. He wasn’t going to leave her side forever, even if it meant his freedom. His freedom whom he deserved, but he wasn’t going to get it. This facility was going to be his home, just like it was her home, and it was her fault. She felt bad for him, but there was nothing she could do to make him leave. So she wrapped her arms around them and hugged him tight, trying to comfort him and herself. Tears were flooding down her cheeks, both from memories and from this moment. She did feel glad that there was someone who would comfort her, after all that she had been through.

She watched the others. There time was slipping away as they were waiting for Stefano. “Go… Be free…” the little girl repeated, this time to the group of free mutants instead of Stefano. She didn’t want them to wait too long anymore or to try to get him with them. He wasn’t going to go with them, he was going to stay. She knew that now, and she had accepted that now. So the others could go, they could leave without them. They would be fine. And she knew that because they were together. She went to the door and closed it. “Go,” she repeated again. She waved simply, and curled up at Stefano’s feet, wanting to block out the world.

Stefano smiled and curled around sari "do as sari say, be free an live" he said and stroke sari's back "don't feel bad sari nothing is your fault cause when I know about you I made my decision already" he told her and pat her back softly and comfortingly

(OCC: is anyone going to follow???)

(OOC: yeah i'm just waiting)

Tris

(OCC.. Oki!! I'll post... Also.. Melyssa???? If you want to join, use the cage I opened OKI???)

Tris heard Roxanne ask if he was OK but he passed without answering. The sudden mood swing had left him angry. "Lets get out of this place." he said to the others. Even though he had use much of his power, he still had power left. "Sorry I ignored you... I'm fine... I think...." he said to Roxanne as he tried to calm himself.

He saw a unopened cage on the way out. 'Ha!... What do you know? I thought I opened every cage...' he thought as he busted open the cage. Then he turned to ward the one door. Normally, he wouldn't want to go through that door intentionally. However, this time, they were going to escape. "Follow if you want... Stay if you wish..." he murmured as he stepped into the white room, to ... in the middle of a desert????

(OOC: GUYS!!!, not you Harute, tornadofan2 and Melyssa, where are you!? i know you have lives but say something if you have to leave or something! cause now you just left and that is disapointing)

(OOC: I'm right here. I was waiting for someone to post.)



When Tris walked past without a word, Roxanne frowned. Geez, when did he swallow a lemon and get so sour? He was back a few seconds later apologizing, however. She shrugged it off and gave him a grin. "No biggie. But let me know if you need to take a break or something." Roxanne looked around quickly. "Once we're out of here, of course." She gave everyone a quick glance. Were they really wanting to stay somewhere that they'd been experimented on and tortured their whole life?

Tris started leaving, so Roxanne hesitated no further. No way on earth was she staying here! She wasn't looking, however, and almost crashed into him when he stopped abruptly. "Wha-?" Roxanne's mouth dropped open. A desert? Really? She sighed before turning to Tris. "So... Where are we headed?"

(OCC..... Good question sourdough101........ North????? maybe??? Where should we go??)
