Chapter5 A test of Strength part2
Iris P.O.V
I woke up with a needle being jabbed in my arm. "There that should wake her up",said a voice. "What did you give her",said another. "The same as I always give 'em, a shot of pure adrenaline". I shot up my heart leaping out of my chest my breath ragged my eyes wide and my head pounding. My veins burned with the liquid injected into me. "Ah,she's awake,said a strong beefy man,probably the one that grabbed me my captor. The other man looked like a doctor,tall Lanky build,glasses and a lab coat. I could and would snap his neck easily. I looked around I was I'm a warehouse of some kind, completely empty, I tried to move but my hands were tied down to a metal chair along with my feet. "What do you want", I said cringing at how ragged and hoarse my voice sounded. "We are called X-T neg. stands for ex- tareil negatives.",said my captor. " guessing that means you were once tareil but developed negative gifts and retreated"., I said my voice gaining strength. "Yes, he said amused "shes a smart one doc", he told doctor", except we don't call then "gifts", we call them powers". "What's the difference",I spat. "Powers" he said, means we own it it and we have control over it and its ours, gifts makes it sound like someone handed it to you as a present or gave it to you, and that you don't control it". "Whatever"I said what to you want with me. "Your special" the doctor said. "You possess a "power" we want". "No I don't I said struggling against the restraints". "Yes you do and we wan you to work for us, then well let you go, think of all the power you'll have, ...deal". "Never you son of a bitch" I screamed at him. "Fine" he hissed, the warmth that was in his eyes if it was ever there probably trying to persuade me to join him vanished replaced by a cold hard glare of a steel man, the kind who have no regard for human life. "Plan b" he said, is we extract as much information from you as possible and then kill you ,deal now", he said in a mocking tone. A wave of fear and panic washed through me. I wasn't ready to die. I was terrified. What do I do? Who do I call? No one was there for me,the tareil weren't even looking for me I thought I knew what abandonment felt like but no I didn't really abandonment felt like this utterly hopeless and pure dispair. "Here's how it'll work", said my captor, everytime you answer a question wrong I will cut you. He said producing a sharp gleaming knife from his hand. Ever been cut up like a paper bag Girly, cause it hurts like hell". He walked closer to me. "First question, where's your leaders base located". He knew this question he took me from our base, he was playing with my emotions, I closed my eyes holding back tears. I wouldn't give him the pleasure of hearing me speak, I looked at him rage bubbling up inside of me sudden and quick. "Ok have it your way". He put his hands on my bicep and placed the knife there he traced along there, he was toying with me, making me feel weak. Finally I felt the pain before I felt the knife's slice. A long deep cut. A sharp prickling sensation spread Across my arm like fire. Tears threated to spill over my eyes and I bit my lip I will not scream or cry I will not give him that authority over me. "Next question, who leads you". This I truly did not know, how could I not know this , it really never occurred to me I mean we have generals but who do they answer to. "I don't know" I said looking down at my feet. "LIES" he screamed. He regained his composure quickly and said "what a pretty face you have, it'd be a shame if I ruined it", a cruel smile creeping across his face "please", I begged I don't know", I despised him for making me beg. He dragged the knife along my cheek bone I gasped the pain clear and sharp, making the corners of my vision white. "Last question" he said "will you join us". I knew what this answer would mean for me life or death. I looked at him my eyes pleading, desperate, sad, because I knew my answer ,because it never changed, and in a defeated and quivering voice I said "no". And he tore the knife through my chest and I let out a blood curdling scream, tears ran down my cheeks, black crept around my vision, soon I couldn't see, the whole world was black and I was lost into the deep ,deep corners of my mind.
