Chapter 26A Chapter by Maryi rewrote this chapter...i know it sucked before...tell me if it still sucks.Chapter 26 The scream rang off the walls and
everyone in the room paused to look. Arnina took this opportunity and pulled
the IV out of her arm. She had a hard time staying awake but the adrenaline
pumping through her veins washed the toxin out of her system. With doctors back
still turned she tried to silently get off of the chair. “Oh no you don’t!” yelled the doctor
tuning around to catch her in the act. “Let me go!” Arnina yelled back biting
the doctor’s hand when he tried to hold her down. “Guards!” he screamed. Two of the guards came over and held
Arnina down as the doctor tried to get the IV back into her, but Arnina was not
having that. She kicked and screamed like a crazy person trying to help Chloe.
Chloe’s screaming kept going and going and finally Arnina got to a point where
she just couldn’t stand it anymore. “F**k it!” she thought and called upon
her powers. Her hands caught fire and the guards jumped back in surprise. Now
free she threw fire balls at them, catching their clothing on fire. They
started to run around and scream like idiots but she was too focused on saving
Chloe to enjoy it. Just to get rid of the problem of all the other guards in
her way she threw fire balls about, setting the whole room on fire. She was
careful though not to throw them in Jade and Rachel’s direction, they were
hiding behind a huge machine waiting for their chance to make a run for it. When Arnina had finally cleared her path
she tried to find were Chloe’s scream was coming from. After listening for a second
she walked through the smoke and flames to the back of the room. She saw there
a large metal chamber that reminded her of a sauna. She quickly went to the
control panel with a monitor that showed Chloe being burned alive. She pressed
all the buttons trying to unlock the door; she only succeeded in accidently turning
off the speakers and putting an end to hearing all of the screaming. “Err! What the hell am I supposed to do?”
she yelled in frustration. She looked around the lab, almost everyone was dead
or evacuated, and some people were trying to put out the fire. She knew that
nothing could put out the fire until she willed it so she just kept pushing
buttons. Finally she saw a lever through the smoke and pulled it, the door popped
open instantly. She saw inside Chloe screaming and jumping
up and down when flames came up from holes all over the floor of the heating
chamber. Chloe’s clothing had almost been completely burned off, her legs and
arms had severe burns on them. Seeing this Arnina quickly squelched the flames
and pulled a shaking Chloe in her arms, also setting out the fire in the lab as
well in one big swipe of relief. “Chloe its okay, I’m here now.” Arnina
said to sooth Chloe. “Thanks Arnina…” Chloe whispered. “How’d
you get in here?” “Lets worry about that later, all that
matters is that you’re safe now.” Arnina said. After about 30 seconds of peace guards
filled the room and hulled Arnina and Chloe away, Arnina was too tired to fight
anymore. Mixed feeling filled Arnina, she was happy for saving Chloe but she
could only imagine what they would do to her now, she would be lucky if they
killed her. “My secret is definitely out now.” She thought. The guards took her strait to Smith’s
office, much like her first day there. She remembered perfectly the first time
she had seen that monster and how utterly confused she was. The only difference
is that Chloe wasn’t with her, they had taken her elsewhere. “Awe, I thought I would be seeing you
soon!” Smith declared with enthusiasm. “Yeah long time no see.” Arnina
muttered. “Well aren’t you a little trouble maker,
you cost me millions in equipment.” He said. “You can afford it.” She said. “Yes, I can. But that is not the point.
I let you be a guest in my home and you go and do that! Why I ought to turn you
over to Fredrick, like I do with all of the other trouble makers. But I am a
kind and forgiving person and I will give you another chance. Power like yours
is rare and I think I can use it, but if you try anything else like that again
off you go. And let me tell you nothing would be left if Fredrick got a hold of
you, nothing.” He said with a smile. Arnina just stared into his cold eyes
wondering who this guy Fredrick was. She decided that she didn’t want to find
out considering that if Smith was “kind and forgiving” then Fredrick was unimaginable.
He looked at her for a minute like he
was trying to figure her out then he signaled the guard and off she went. She thought she had heard him say when
she was down the hall, “I have finally found what I need.” “Need?” she thought. “I wonder what he
is going to do to me now…if normal testing today was this bad…then how is he
going to ‘use’ me?” Her worries ceased
when she was thrown back into her own room, she had feared that they would move
her into a different cell. “Arnina!” Chloe yelled sitting up from
her cot. “Hey.” said Arnina walking over to
Chloe’s to hug her. “I was so worried!” Chloe declared. “You? How are your burns?” asked Arnina
looking Chloe over. “I’ll be fine…” Chloe murmured. “No you won’t! They will probably scar!”
Arnina said looking furious. “Maybe not, Jade could heal me…” Chloe
said trying to look hopeful. “Well…I don’t know Chloe,” Arnina said
sitting next to Chloe, her face in her hands. “Something bad might happen…Smith
is going to find a way to punish me.” “Oh Arnina…” said Chloe feeling guilty
and utterly helpless. “I’m so sorry, thank you for saving me.” “No problem, it’s what we do, save each
other. I know you would do the same for me. But you shouldn’t have to have been
saved, today was not normal testing. They inject us and hook us up to some
pretty strange machines…but they never get that close to killing us like
that…well unless it is a special occasion or something. I don’t know what this
means but it isn’t anything good, maybe we have become more expendable…or maybe
there is a time pinch for test results.” Arnina said getting into her problem
solving mood. “Well whatever it is it sucks! What if
one of the others gets even more hurt than me, or worse! Arnina what are we
going to do?” Chloe said getting really worked up. “We’ll see tomorrow when we talk to
Aaron…or if they take me somewhere else then you will have to talk to him.”
Said Arnina wondering what new plans Smith had for her. “Okay, I’ll talk to him, but you have to
go to the court yard! What about fighting class?” asked Chloe. “Well let’s hope I can…Chloe even if I
am doing fighting class I want you to rest for awhile until you’re healed.”
said Arnina. “Right…I am so useless, I can’t even
fight anymore!” Chloe said beginning to cry. “It’s okay, you are so not
useless…remember you have super powers?” Arnina said hugging Chloe trying not
to touch her burns in the process. “Right, Super Chloe.” said Chloe with a
slight laugh and a pained expression. © 2010 MaryAuthor's Note
