Kindra

By my counting they'd had me in this prison for close to a year now. Six months, they'd given me six months in solitary for throwing Alex in the pit. I just wish I'd thought of slamming Alex head first into the ground faster than I had, he'd be the one dead now. The door opened slowly and a couple guards walked in with weapons on me. They were good, they had modified the pistols into rifles, shotguns and even grenades now, though the grenades were lethal from a single blast. The shotguns were only good at close range, excellent for quelling riots.

A third guard walked in and around me.

"Hello boys, is it time to go already?" I smirked. The light wasn't shining on me quite yet. "I was getting used to the alone time to meditate on my powers."

"Alex wants you to know that is the only reason he isn't going to keep you locked up forever," The guard behind me answered and he pushed me forward. "Move, don't give me the privilege of shooting you. I'd make sure I shot twice."

My smirk changed to a grin as I walked out into the guard filled hall and they were all shocked. The little girl they had put in there didn't walk out. I was easily in my teens, perhaps fifteen or sixteen. I'd been making myself older on purpose, some of my father's powers had worn off on me.

They led me into Sector A once more and pushed me into the middle. The floor went quiet as I walked over and got my food and walked over to my usual table. People were sitting there.

"Move," I commanded. "This is my table, just because I've been gone for six months doesn't give you riffraff permission to sit here."

One of them stood up and turned around, "Listen..." He stopped when he saw my eyes. I had the look of a predator ready to kill. He continued, "Look around sister, do you see anywhere else to sit?"

I didn't look around before answering him. I grabbed him by the arm, flipped him around and slammed him into the table. I whispered in his ear, "Does it look to you like I care?"

The others at the table stood up and a fight began, me against at least ten others, doesn't quite sound fair. I guess I'll go easy on them. Prison time had changed my attitude a lot, then again I did what I had to do to survive. I'm not saying I'm proud of what I did, but I did it nonetheless.

They came at me like professionals, at robbing norms. They didn't expect the speed at which I countered them. I broke an arm and three ribs in a few seconds and two of them were down. A few moments later and five were down. The others gathered their buddies and left. I did all that without spilling one drop of food from my plate. I cleared the table and sat down.

*On the top floor*

"We need to get her out of there," One of them insisted. "She'll kill them."

"Exactly," The other replied. "The new toxin poisons even the new breed and has made this prison overflowing. We don't have enough room to fit them all and we have several such facilities. If she kills them we don't get in any trouble. What's Victor going to say? Or Alex?"

The first man smirked, "Good point."

*Back to Kindra*

Zach sat down across from me and said, "I thought they'd killed you, or worse."

"Good guess?" I passed by his knowing who I was again and smirked. "If they kill me, my father will know and my mother."

"You mean Rachel right?" He asked. "Cause that other one is down here all the time quelling the big riots. She's amazing."

"But she chose to betray us," I looked down. "Willingly." I glanced up and saw Victor coming down. I smirked at Zach, "Looks like it's interrogation time again. One question before I go, were you one of us from before or part of the new group?"

"From the beginning," He shrugged. "For some reason I am resistant to Alex's mind games and he can't manipulate me like he can some of the others."

I smiled and then turned as I heard Victor call my name and look around for me.

"I'm right here," I shook my head. "Not what you were expecting? Too bad. How about you come down here and I'll show you why I was in solitary for six months. Let's go."

Victor looked at me funny but the prisoners all moved and formed a line for me to walk straight to him and I did.

"Sorry just an interrogation, besides you'd probably kill me," He looked uneasy. "That and they are getting you new clothes."

They had given my new clothes when I'd gone into solitary but I'd grown so much I'd had to tear them and they barely covered me still and not close to modestly. He led me down a hall and towards the interrogation area. I saw Samantha and she bumped into me and I quickly read what I needed. A moment a person ran up with clothes and handed them to me.

I wanted to thank her but I had to keep the facade and I just gave the lady a stern look. I entered a bathroom and changed and then went into the interrogation room. Alex was not present.

"Where is the dog keeper?" I asked. "Two dogs but no keeper? That's strange."

MB punched me across the face, "Shut up. We didn't bring you in here for you to give us lip."

"Did you want me to give you more than you can handle traitor?" I replied. "Not you Victor you were tricked. Why do you still work for them MB? They have broken their agreement with you. How do I know? I'm good like that."

He hit me again, "Shut up I said, we are here to question you!"

"Hit me again and you'll find out why I was put in solitary," I growled at him. My eyes challenged him but he was undaunted.

He stood up and hit me harder than he had previously. The blow knocked me across the room. My eyes teared up, not with pain but with the knowledge of what I was about to have to do. I jumped up and broke the only camera in the room. MB charged me, I side stepped and slammed him face first into the wall. I heard the crunch as his nose broke and he fell limply to the ground.

Victor looked clueless. I grabbed the table and pushed it against the door and braced it.

"Victor I have to tell you something," I grunted as the door was being forced open.

He stood up and walked closer.

"They are lying to you Victor, they plan on killing all of us," I said. "Open you mind and I'll show you what I mean."

He looked unsure but they door was nearly open. I dove and placed my hand on his head.

Death and destruction surrounded us. Men and women being gunned down by people wearing CDC uniforms.

Victor stared in disbelief, "This can't be. You can't see the future."

"Did you forget who I bumped into in the hall?" I asked him. "She can."

He then saw something horrifying and he had to look away.

"This is the path you are on now Victor," I said. "They are planning on killing your son and you, no matter what you do to help them."

"I can't go against them," He shook his head. "I can't I'll lose my powers."

"You can follow their rules without obeying their orders," I instructed. "The most basic guideline you most certainly agree with."

The vision began to fade as my strength waned.

"Police the magic users as we do ourselves. That is the oldest rule they have and the basis for their organization. Follow that and you need not break your word while you follow your own path, the path unwritten."

I couldn't hold it any longer and I jumped away from him and tried to fight the guards and make it look like an escape attempt. They threw me back in my cell in Sector A and locked me in. I sighed, well I told him he can choose for himself now.
