Deacon - Chapter 12

Chapter 2 – Part 2:

"Jane!" screams Kelly. I cannot believe that this is what's left of Jane.

"I will slit your goddamn throat!" I scream at him. He looks at me and says, "What? Say that again!" So, I said the same thing again, and again. He just looks at me. Then, his eyes turn to Kelly. He lets out a sick smile.

"I got a deal for you." He says while smiling, "You work for me... but the girl comes with me!"

Hell no! I am not giving up Kelly for no one. Kelly begins shaking of fear begins sobbing. She tries to kneel her way towards me, but a man knocks her down with the back of his rifle. "You're not going anywhere, Kelly." I whisper, "I won't give you up—" "No... You have to. Or they'll kill these people. Just let me go. We'll meet again soon." She says.

"Oh, and call me Rave" the man says. He grabs Kelly and unties her hands. She tries to fight back. With a look of anger on Rave's face, he put her on her knees. He lets out another grin as a slowly runs his fingers down the side of her face and says, "You're all mine now."

I watch as he walks away with her. It is hard to watch. I can't just let her go. There are armed people around me. If I make a move, they will light me up. I can't make a single move.

Or maybe there is a way... I'll try this. I close my eyes and clinch my fists, hoping to shoot flames around me. Rave spots me. He picks me up by my cloth-handcuff and hands me over to a man and says, "Run some tests on him. He might be one of those supernatural freaks."

The medic puts me on a bed and straps my head and limbs onto the steel bars. He brings a small lantern which is just enough to make it possible to see the medic's face. He tells me, "this is going to hurt." He moves over, grabs a scalpel and stabs my right eye. I scream and tremble from the pain. He then twists and takes out a chunk of it. "Hush! Hey, I got the sample. It's over now. I'm not supposed to do what I'm gonna do. Keep your mouth shut about it." He grabs a syringe and injects me with what I can assume is a painkiller.

"So, you shoot flames?" he then chuckles, "Your eye is cooked!" He turns back to grab a disinfectant and pours it into the hole of my eye. Again, I shake and breathe heavily from the burning eye. "Mess with the timeline?" He asks, "That killed your power."

"What? That's bullshi—" "Go on then, try to shoot me then. Oh, that's right, you can't!" He interrupts.

Then, rave shows up at the pharmacy. He knocks me out.

I wake up in a room, sitting on what feels like concrete. I can't see anything in here. There's a radio playing in the distance. There's a song playing on the radio. "Wheel on a bus go pop! Pop! Pop! And they burn alive." The same line repeats throughout the song. It's driving me crazy in here. Soon, the radio stops. The radio stops. Rave comes up. As he opens the door, I notice that they gave me nothing to wear. "Holy... cover that up!" he says as he throws me a bread and a cucumber on the floor. "That's all you get for today." He says. He then turns around and leaves. He closes the cell. The radio begins playing again.

Where is Kelly? I need to find her. I have to make a choice that is not mine. I need to get out of here. Then, I notice something. It's quiet outside. And...

The door isn't locked.
