Snippet #2182111

Aileen turned away from the guy and crawled over towards the corner of her cell, disappointed in herself. Why didn't she just kill herself? Oh wait, she couldn't. They didn't even have the freedom to do that. Simon. His name is Simon. Someone else interrupted her thoughts and she figured it had to be the little girl. She knew that she could read minds and telepath thoughts.

Aileen turned around to look at the girl, but she was being dragged away by guards. With a shocked and worried expression, Aileen hurried to the front of her cage again and followed the girl with her eyes. It was horrible. What was she... seven? Eight? "She will be ok," the guy, Simon, suddenly said. With a slight nod, she agreed with him. He was right. The girl was the most important one of them all, they couldn't kill her. "They like her more than the rest of us. You're beautiful." The last sentence shocked her and she stared at the guy in disbelief. How could he say something like that? First off, this was neither the place nor time to be flirty or whatever he was doing. Second of, she was anything but beautiful. How could a tail and yellow eyes be beautiful?

"What's your name?" he asked before she could get to say anything to his other comment. Aileen placed her head on her knees and curled her tail around her legs. She felt exposed. "Aileen," she said with narrowed eyes. "My name is Aileen. And don't call me beautiful."

Simon was looking at something further down the hall, but Aileen couldn't see what was going on from where she was sitting. "I really thought they were more worried about her. I wonder what all that was about?" he said before turning his gaze back to Aileen. She looked at him confused, but he didn't seem to notice. "I don't want be rude, but could tell me what abilities you have?" The question made her uncomfortable, but she might as well answer him. Though she didn't trust him, she didn't want to be rude towards him. Her mutations weren't any secret anyways. "Uhm, I... I can see in the dark just as great as in the daylight. The color’s become a little different though... And I smell, taste, see and hear a little better than regular humans, but it's nothing major. I also have great balance, reflexes and agility. Oh, and I can do this," she held up a "paw" in front of her and in less than a second, she pinned a fly to the floor using a claw. "Let me guess... you probably have some kind of mental powers." She was slowly beginning to relax in his company, maybe it was because he seemed so calm.

Suddenly a doctor appeared and without saying anything, he began opening the cells, beginning with Alieen's. "What's going on?" Aileen asked and then realized that this was her chance to escape. She started panicking and instantly ran over towards Simon's cell when it was openened. "What now? What do I do? What, I... I.." She started to hyperventilate. She'd been waiting for this for so long and when it's finally there, she doesn't know what to do with herself.
