Kindra

It had been a long time since I'd seen anyone I knew, and I knew it would be longer still. The whole setup was like a human prison, guards on every floor and a large open area for us to eat in. They had since moved me into Sector A, I couldn't help it I'd tried to escape. Being free was in my blood, literally. I was dying in here, slowly but surely.

I was eating alone like I always did, no point in starving myself. More prisoners were brought in but this was different, there had been an influx of Sector A prisoners lately. This group seemed different.

A couple of regulars came over and sat down on either side of me, "Hi there little girl."

I sighed, these guys kept on trying to get me to join them and their little group.

"We could really use your talents," One of them suggested. They didn't look at me when they talked, trying not to be obvious. The cameras couldn't pick up the words through all the noise, not unless they suspected.

I scoffed, "You mean you need someone small, am I right?"

One of them snickered, "You're smarter than you look."

"I told you guys before I have no interest in working with a bunch of crooks," I knew they'd be angry and probably want to fight me, but I really didn't care.

I could tell they were about to do something when a different person walked up, "You know who that is don't you guys?"

They looked at him with blank stares and the guy continued, "That's Jared's baby girl. If you really want to anger him go ahead and get in a fight with her, otherwise I'd back off."

Evidently my father name holds sway even in this place, out of fear or respect. The two that had been bothering me stood up and walked away. The third guy sat down in front of me.

"How do you know who I am?" I asked him.

He shrugged, "It was a guess."

"You're sitting at my table," I said softly.

My appearance had been changing rapidly and I probably looked about seven by now, maybe eight.

"I just helped you and you are telling me to get lost?" He looked surprised. "I thought you were one of the good guys."

"First off I didn't need help. Second, this place has a way of changing the way you trust," I countered. "What did you want?"

"I want out," He shrugged. "When your rescue comes I want to go with you. It's as simple as that."

"Even my father couldn't break in to this place," My countenance obviously fell. "Only my true mother could break in and get back out again but she didn't have the power last time I saw her."

"Your true mother?" He was intrigued. "What do you mean?"

"Cali," I answered. "I'm sure you've seen the saber tooth tiger running around. She gave birth to me, but Rachel is my true mother. She isn't the traitor Cali is."

"So the genetic memory is true then," He pressed. "How much of the past do you know?"

I hesitated and then said, "Shake my hand first."

He did so and I used my power in that brief touch to see his power and what I could of everything else. He jerked his hand away.

He lowered his voice, "You used your powers didn't you?"

I didn't reply to that, "Zach, I think I can trust you. I know everything Jared knew when I was conceived. I have had conscious thought from that moment until now. Most of it was spent advancing my powers."

Suddenly there was a crash behind us. I ducked instinctively and barely dodged someone trying to hit me. I went under the table, dodged to the other side and got out from under it. A man was using his powers. He was increasing the size of individual body parts and using it as a weapon, I seemed to be the focal point. I glanced up at the guards but I saw Alex telling them to stand down.

I growled, he must be up to something. He's trying to make me use my powers so he can put me in solitary confinement for a few months. He's trying to break me still. I'll show him.

I reached the wall with the man quickly gaining. I did a front handspring towards the wall and then jumped off the wall and did another handspring off his head to the second level. I made my way through the level, with the man following. I was now separated from Alex by a twenty foot gap, maybe more. The man was only a short distance behind me. I jumped into the air towards him as he was swinging and landed my foot on his fist, his attack gave me the momentum I desired and I reached Alex and tackled him to the ground. I picked him up and tossed him into the pit with all the prisoners. He was so busy screaming that he didn't even notice I had taken a good deal of knowledge from him.

The man on the other side of the pit that had been chasing me jumped to get me. I jumped this time to stop it half way. My foot connected with his head and I drove him down into the ground, which was four stories down, head first. He didn't get up. Alex was being mauled by prisoners and I just walked back to my cell. The guards started shooting a moment later and I didn't want to be in the line of fire. Prisoners died when they stopped these riots and I had knowledge I had to get to my father.
