Felix James's Story

Sitting in the cold basement huddle up to my brother staring at the other girls and boys here makes me realize there is not a big difference between us all. I shiver and my brother holds me tighter, we are all just cold, beaten, starving, scared children that are exceptionally gifted. I look at everyone some of us have made friends while others have not. Its really not all that bad here actually, besides the beatings and well who am I kidding this place is the equivalency of hell. I give my slight, fake, smile "So I heard that maybe we will actually get food for once." I frown "But there shall be extra tests...So is anyone else getting tested today besides me?" My brother grunts a little and keeps his eyes focused to the wall. We have had very few talks about breaking out because we all know we lose our souls if we fail. There are still many reasons thought to keep a hope up though. I am just not very sure of anything today actually, my usual clean and clear brain has been clouded. I don't like it, not at all.


Its early morning, its cold, everyone is in one cell I know that for sure.my sister is huddle up to me to keep herself warm she shivers and I pull her closer. I look at the red head who's name I often forget because I call her red. "Hey Red can you make us warm or something?" I mutter although I am sure she did not hear me. My sister asks if experiments are going to happen to anyone else today and I grunt meaning a mumbled yes. I hate it here. I want to go home

Alex leans his head against the cold stone wall and sighs. How long he has been in this hole, he doesn't know, but it has been way too long for his liking. He was cold, hungry and, although he would never admit it, scared. The first few days he had been hoping that they would be rescued soon, that the police would break down the doors in no time and they would all be savely home by the end of the day.
Well ... obviously that hadn't happened and here he was, still locked in with several other people. Damn it! Damn it all to hell! "Who is this guy anyway ... keeping us here like some creepy experiment!" he started ranting under his breath, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed anger. "We need to get out of here, the sooner the better. The police will obviously not be finding us any time soon and it is decidedly improbable that we will be released by that guy. So we can only rely on ourselves. We MUST get out of here!" Alex jumped to his feet and started pacing, "we just must!"

Alex stopped his pacing for a while to throw a confused look at Elizabeth. How could she even say such a thing? It wasn't that bad? Was she kidding? Or was she actually trying to delude herself. He couldn't believe it. here he was almost going mad being locked away for such a long time and that girl actually had the nerve to tell him that is wasn't that bad?
He shook his head in frustration. "How can you even think such nonsense, Elizabeth?" Alex asked, sharper than he had intended but his nerves were on the edge at the moment. "We got kidnapped, beaten, starved ... and for what? Do you really think these ... abilities!" he spat the word with venom. "...are actually worth it? You can't be serious. He's using us! For whatever his sick mind has thought up."
Alex nodded at Logan in thanks, at least someone was opening his eyes to the truth. There had to be a way out. They couldn't be locked in here forever, right? At least that was what he hoped. And he couldn't lose hope now, it was all he had left.

Gabrielle Martin
Gabrielle rubbed her hands together, listening to the other talk. She was not too much of a talker. Only if she had to talk, would she. What she was really afraid of was the light right now. She felt more comfortable in the dark because of her powers. She knew she was the only one who could see better in the dark while everyone else struggled. Her hair was dirty and not the clean and pristine white it was before. The others seemed to want to stay awake because they were going to get tested again. Gabrielle wished she could sleep. She was too nervous to even close her eyes. She had never been in this situation before, and her body was not built to take any sort of physical activity. She was afraid at one point her body would just give out on her and she would be completely defenseless. He watched as Alex closed his eyes shut to sleep, and Gabrielle sighed softly to herself.
