7 years later
I'm suddenly surrounded by the white noise, and I fall to the ground. I'm being dragged into a basement. I hear them talking.
"How did she get through the check. She's been here seven years." I'm fluttering in and out of consciousness. "We must kill her immediately."
   I fly awake bolting upright in my seat, a thin layer of sweat covering my body. I'm not sure where I'm at.
"hey your ok," a voice comes from next to me. "Your safe now Ella no one is going to hurt you now."
" where am I? Where are we going? Who are you?" I frantically shout.
" I'm cate and I got you out of that camp. We're headed to see a friend of mine right now. I'm part of the children's league we rescue people like you and we try to battle and give kids like you a voice."
"Okay" I mumble nervously.
We pull into an abandoned gas station and Cate gets out of the car.
"Come on," she says. I get out and follow her over to a man leaning on a truck. Cate hugs him and they exchange murmured words that I can't make out.
"Hi," the man says. Turning to look at me reaching out his hand. As I grab his hand to shake it I am a suddenly watching him pull a kid in a blue jumpsuit down a hall.
"Your not getting away this time." He yells at the kid.
Just as quickly as it was there it was gone, and I was standing next to the two of them by the gas station again. The guy handed me a back pack and tells me I can go change in the building. I walk away and enter the run down building. I quickly change and throw on an old sweatshirt and jeans. Right as I am about to leave I hear a clatter from a few rows down.
I creep around the corner of the aisle to find a small girl wearing rubber gloves standing there with a handful of food. She slowly slips the glove off of one of her hands and grabs the rack a fridges behind her the whole place erupting in sparks.
She turns and runs out the back door. I pause for a second registering what I had seen and then bolt after her. She runs to an old van and jumps inside pulling the door closed behind her. I reach the van right as the door slams. I bang on the doors,
"Please let me in. I'm scared and I think those people are trying to kill me please." I wait a second longer knowing that if she doesn't open the door I can force it open with my telekinesis. Granted that might not be the best first impression. A moment later the door flys open and the little girl pulls me inside, slamming the door behind me. I can here voices growing nearer. she pushes me onto the ground covering me with a blanket. The doors of the van open and the voices from outside are suddenly much closer.
"I'm telling you I saw her man. It was lady Jane," one voice comments
"Whatever," the other adds. I try to analyze who these people must be. There voices sound young probably a little older than I am. And I was guessing guys but I didn't want to assume.
"Ella... Ella," my body freezes as the voices ring out. I had forgotten I was running away from someone. The van roars to life and we fly out onto the road.
"Zu what happened at the gas station," one of the voices asks.
" yeah and who's Ella ?" The other adds. there is a short silence before I bolt up right from my spot on the floor.
"I'm Ella," I say.

Hi! I know this is basically a scene right from the movie but I promise it will get more exciting.
