Chapter 19

I'm in control, finally.

"Red alert. Red Alert! Sugar don't move."

I freeze. I'm standing on the platform, radiating electric power, fists clenched. I can see all of the doctors and the masked men cowering in the corner of the room, watching me in horror. So many expressions pass over their faces as they watch me. Sounds of electricity radiate off of me, breaking up the silence.

"What?! Red alert?" I hiss the whisper, feeling so much energy. It's refreshing to see everyone cower in fear for once.

For once it's not me.

"It's Jules. Pierce says he is getting weird readings from him. And, the Sky Colonies' council members are on their way. Millicent Bartholemew is head of the Sky colonies, amazon of a woman from what I hear."

I turn my head away from everyone. "I thought Jules was in charge," I whisper.

"He is third in line, in charge of the military branch. Which is pretty substantial."

I see.
