to see Anna laughing looking at me.
“What’s wrong? Feeling pains?” she asked laughing.
“What…. Are… you doing?” I asked feeling it grow and felt weaker as it grew like it was eating my strength and getting stronger. Everything started to spin and everything sounded distant.
“You don’t like this? It will be over soon,” she laughed. She sounded miles away. The pain grew and everything went black. I felt like I was being picked up and carried. I heard laughter and I felt weak. I didn’t fall asleep, but I still felt pains. My arm hung down making it so I could feel dirt and rocks hitting my fingers. Suddenly she dropped me and put her arms on my chest and started crying.
“Jake!” I heard Luna’s voice yell and I heard feet running up. “What happened?” she asked.
“I don’t know… I found him… laying here… I tried to heal him… but nothing…” Anna said. I realized she sounded like Amy.
“Its okay Amy…” she said.
I heard her lean down near to comfort her and then I heard Luna scream and a tree snapping. Then I was picked up and was carried again it sounded like Luna was being dragged. Soon I went under completely. When I woke I could move. I looked to see that I was sitting in a prison. There were handcuffs on my arms and legs, too strong for me to pull apart. I looked at the bars of the prison cell and I got up and tried to pull them apart, but I couldn’t.
I looked at the dusty walls and the door. It was wood. I saw there was more cells. I was in the cell in front of the wooden door. I squinted through the blur I saw from just waking up. I saw that Luna was laying unconscious in the end one, the third cell away, as I thought it looked as if she was dragged from the mud on her back and her messed up hair. I looked to the other side and saw it was empty there was a total of eight cells. I heard screaming. “Amy!” I thought from the familiar screaming.
“Hold still you brat!” Anna said in anger.
“Never!!!” she yelled.
I heard a gasp and I sat down and pretended to be out. I heard the door open and dragging I opened my eyes and saw Anna dragging Amy her hands around her neck. Amy was gasping for air. Amy held her hand trying to get between it and her neck so she could breath. She was thrown in a cell, the fourth cell away.
I noticed mine was the biggest cell. She locked Amy in and walked away. Amy held her neck gasping for air. I tried to read her thoughts, but I couldn’t. I noticed Luna and Amy were both handcuffed. Amy played with hers trying to loosen it. Apparently hers was tight. Mine wasn’t tight, but I couldn’t get them off.
Suddenly Anna hit the cage door startling me. “I didn’t mean to scare you,” she said.
“What do you want,” I asked.
“Same thing I wanted when we were in high school,” she growled narrowing her eyes.
“I am sorry to say this, but I am happy with who I am with right now,” I said looking at Amy, and she smiled.
“I give you a day to reconsider before I move you and,” she said touching the wall I noticed flaps open and hoses come out in front of every cell, but mine, “And your sister and girlfriend will die. Here’s a taste for them.”
She touched the brick below and I saw seven knobs. She turned the ends and Luna and Amy screamed as steaming water hit them right in the chest. She turned the knobs to turn the water off. They gasped in pain. I noticed Amy’s neck was red she was crying in pain. I looked at Luna to see her neck was red also and her hands I guessed she put them up to protect herself she was gasping startled being awoken from the water.
“To think. That was level one hot,” Anna said shaking her head. “And that is the knob for one cell individual. Out side the door is the knob to turn the heat on for every cell. I will give you time to think. If you really cared you wouldn‘t let them die such a painful death. If you decide early just call my name.”
She laughed and left. I looked down. She was right. I couldn’t let them die like that. “Jake..” Luna said still trying to recover from the hot water. “Don’t worry about me,” she said.
“Just save yourself,” Amy said still gasping.
“No,” I said looking at them both, “I can’t do that to you guys, I would rather face Anna and…” I couldn’t force myself to finish the sentence or even think what might happen.
Amy looked down and pulled her legs up and hugged her legs sobbing softly. “I love you Jake,” she whispered.
“I love you two Amy, I promise I’ll try to save you guys just hang in there.”
“I will never give up. I would like to die knowing you tried,” she said tears going down her cheeks. She moved to the side grabbing the bars.
I smiled and took a deep breath. I looked at the door and Amy sat down staring at the wall where the hose was. I sighed and stood up. “You win, I give up Anna,” I said.
Like I thought the door opened up only a few seconds later. “You do?” she asked eyeing me suspiciously trying to force down her hope.
“Yes,” I said not looking at Amy or Luna. I looked Anna dead in the eyes.
She brightened up and fumbled with the keys and opened the door hurriedly. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me out of the door. I almost tripped how fast and strong she pulled. She closed the wooden door and unlocked the handcuffs. Then she put her hand on the wall and pulled the knob all the way. Screams of pain came from the room. I stood there until it stopped. I already knew what happened to them.
Revenge
I looked away breathing unevenly. Anna brightened. Hugged me tightly I could barely breath. She let go and pushed me at the door. I heard nothing on the other side. I wanted to open the door and revive them. Then I realized something. “She is good at controlling. Is she faking this to make me believe it like a test?” I wandered. Then I looked at the door and let myself hear thoughts.
“I hope Jake is okay,” I heard Amy’s thoughts.
“These burns still hurt! I have never felt such hot water! I never want to again!” I heard Luna’s thoughts.
“I wander if anyone is out there. What if she is kissing Jake putting him under her control like in my dream.” Amy thought.
“I hope no more water comes out. I can’t take that kind of hot water! And if that was level one I don‘t want to see the last level!” Luna thought bitterly.
I stopped looking at the door and hearing thoughts and walked away from it towards Anna. “So if they are alive you don’t care?” she asked.
“No,” I said.
She smiled. She grabbed my hand and pulled me. I obediently followed. I let myself hear thoughts again.
“Jake, please be okay, My life doesn‘t matter, I have nine lives left. Please just be alive I couldn’t bare to live the rest of them if you got hurt,” Amy thought.
I saw Luna was dreaming about our mom. All of us were together. Our mom with her blonde hair and brown eyes. A pink dress. Dad was there his eyes watching me attack Luna playfully she jumped back and jumped me we rolled down the hill laughing. His black short hair glowing in the air.
His green eyes watching us ready to stop us if it got too rough. I was only ten wearing a tux. Luna was fifteen in her red skirt and shirt. Our mom held onto our fathers arm. I felt a sob in my throat and forced it down. I looked away. I blocked out thoughts again. Anna pulled me into a room. It was black.
She sat me down on her bed which was round. It was next to a window that had yellow bars on it. On the other side of the room was desk full of books, chips, guides, and tools. I saw near the corner a closet. There was a star rug on the floor and the ceiling fan was moving silently above the dead center of the star. I noticed a box, it was sealed shut in the corner. Anna shut and locked the door. Tossing the key on the desk. I stared at the box curiously.
“What’s in there?” I asked.
“Oh, ashes,” she said.
“Ashes?” I asked startled by the answer.
“Yes, someone I knew very well died and turned to ashes,” she sighed looking at the box.
“Oh,” I said nodding.
She sat next to me and hugged me tightly rubbing her head on my chest. I tensed looking at the wall. “Maybe I could make her fall out of love with me. Maybe she would let us all go,” I thought the idea came to me fast.
“Why don’t you look at me?” she asked angrily.
“I don’t ever look at people I love,” I said plainly.
“Why?” she asked.
“I might get sick of seeing them.”
“That’s stupid,” she said laughing.
I tensed and shoved her away and moved away. I was faking the anger to try to scare her. She jumped me and I hit her in the gut. “What was that for?! I thought you loved me??” she asked.
“I do this is how I show it,” I said.
“Okay, I can live with that,” she said sitting next to me slowly.
She wrapped her arms around me and tried to kiss me and I pinned her down roughly crushing her arms.
“Ow!!” she screamed. “Let go!” she yelled struggling.
I rolled my eyes. “You aren’t fun at all,” I said.
“I know you treat Amy better then this!” she growled.
“Actually I don’t she is use to it so it doesn’t bother her,” I said thinking fast.
“You guys kiss though and you won’t let me kiss you,” she said accusingly.
“I kiss her that is that,” I said coldly.
She narrowed her eyes. She tried to kiss me again and I pinned her down again crushing her arms almost breaking them. She squealed in pain. I let go and sat at the edge of the bed. She gave up and went to sleep. I didn’t sleep with her. I slept on the floor. I used my powers so when she tried to get near me vines would crush her.
I woke up five times from her sneaking over. There was holes in the ground from the vines that broke up to stop her. She coughed up blood every time the vines got her. It was three in the morning when she growled pulling me out of the room. She pulled me to the cell room and turned the lights on. Dazed and startled Amy and Luna woke up looking at us.
“Lie guys. Amy I treat you badly and I hurt you a lot. I never let you kiss me. Luna just agree!” I mouthed quickly they looked at me.
“Amy how does he treat you?!” she asked.
“Badly,” she said shrugging.
“Yeah I hear noise from her room a lot,” Luna said.
“So he crushes you?!” she asked.
“Only when you try to kiss me
