Chloe was sitting on the ground looking at a guy who was holding a whip. Her collar was off and she was supposed to be setting another trap around the camp. She was the only one the took out of the camp grounds and a little farther into the forest. There weren't anywhere near the number of traps set up that they wanted. In the time that she had been here she has set up about thirty traps all around the facility and the outer walls and grounds. Now they were sending her into the forest around the area to set up more. She was on the third one of the day and having more than just a little trouble focusing. She had had to start it over at least three times already. The man had hit her once for not doing what she was supposed to be doing. She wouldn't allow the pain to set in or tears to well up in her eyes. She hoped to the high heavens that her letter had gotten to her brother. She had been able to sneak one out. Just one and if it hadn't gotten to him then she was doomed.

She never thought her dance troupe would be the reason why she's be in such a predicament right now. She hoped her best friend had told her brother she had gone missing. Someone had to know. She prayed every day that someone knew she was missing and it was just a matter of time before they came to get her. She shook her head trying to concentrate once more. "Get a move on girl! You've got two more to do." She looked up at the man with a soft growl escaping her lips. "I told you...stop rushing me. If you want it done right you have to let me do my thing." She was tired. They had made her create three the day before and she wasn't fully ready to create any more today. She had managed to concentrate enough to get up two but that was the limit. She was too tired and unfocused to do this one. She had tried but she was tired. She barely moved out of the way of the whip. "Who said you could talk to me like that" She winced at his words.

"Look I can't do it. I'm tired." She was having trouble enough just keeping herself stable at the moment. She really didn't want to pass out. It would cause her to do more work later and she really didn't want too. The man just glared at her. "The boss says one more so you will do one more." They apparently hadn't remember nor cared where her limitations where. They were gonna send her to an early grave if they kept making her set things up like this. She coughed and then looked at the ground again trying to recall what it was that she was supposed to be doing. Soon enough she was writing with the stick that was provided for her. She wasn't sure how long she could keep it up. This trap would not work. Least not the way they intended it too. She didn't much care what happened to her once they found that out though.

A new glimmer of well hope came into her eyes but she was looking away from the guy so that it wouldn't be seen. However as she put the last rune up she collapsed to the ground. She wasn't out cold or anything like that she was just too tired to actually hold herself up. The guy looked at her struggling to get up and just yanked her up. "I..Its...Its done." She struggled to keep her eyes open. She wasn't going to pass out. All her efforts went to walking back to the camp. She fell once or twice but was yanked up rather viciously be the guy that was escorting her. They came within the guard towers and he put her collar back on. She nearly collapsed again but managed to stay on her feet. The guy went off towards the bosses headquarters leaving her looking at the grounds.

She walked over to a corner and curled up. Tears started to stream down her face. The collar was of no help as it seemed to drain what little strength she had out of her too. However, she wasn't going to let herself fall asleep not just yet.

[Stella Booth]

Man the guys where rough today Stella was so tempted and she should of blowen there heads off why she was working today she didn't see the point of it they used her power with out knowing what it they acted like she could just blow up a mountain sometimes take down trees with ease to make the area a bit larger disable things like it was nothing but it didn't work like that and it never whould things where made out of parts she imploded small parts not big mountains she was bursed and beaten form todays work she wasn't tired thought so she walked around until she found someone in the corner just crying.

It wasn't an odd sight people broke down all the time Stella did about once a week I seemed sometimes more then take depending on the mood she was in part of her just wanted to walk right by and be like that girl just needed to grow a pair of balls and move on. But she looked so tired Stella sighed and moved over to the girl and sat next to her Stella sighed as she did not really knowing what to say it wasn't like you chould say that you chould get her out or even make it all go away heck death was better then this, or that someone was coming no it was just them they where all powerless and chouldn't do anything just sit around and hope things got better. “I...”Stella paused trying to think of the right words “There not getting any better are they....i thought when I first got hear just have to get use to it....like I did when....i ran away when I was little....i wish we could get use to it.....that or just....not feel anything anymore....maybe”

[chloe]

Chloe being in a corner crying happened more often then not. Okay so most of the time she collapsed and was taken to her cell and left there to rot. It didn't seem like the even cared but the next day they'd be in checking on her and if she wasn't ready to go out that day they'd be back again the next and the next. It never ended. This time she hoped she fell asleep and didn't wake up until her brother got to her. She didn't want death that wasn't something she ever wanted. She'd rather live in this hell then die leaving her brother behind. No she wouldn't do that time him. She'd nearly lost it when he'd almost died. She had no clue what would happen if she were in the same situation. She'd go through hell and back again just to see her twin again. She took a few deep breaths but they hurt. They had really taxed her today and the pain from with whip mark on her back wasn't helping much either.

Chloe's body was slowly relaxing which meant that the pain was coming back making her tense a bit before she tried to push it to the back of her mind. She knew that some people her thought her weak and a baby for crying so much. However, this was the way she got when she was over taxed and worried. Otherwise all emotions could be shut down. However, she was too tired to do that right now. A few moments later she turned to see someone sitting next to her. A girl just a little older than herself and she had seen her around before. There were no words for the situation they were both in. The other girl looked far worse off then she looked she was sure. However, Chloe wasn't sure if she had actually bleed or not. She hadnt had a chance to see if the back of her shirt was ripped. She shrugged that off as she heard the other start to speak.

"I won't ever be used to it. I don't like what they make me do. They'll kill me one of these days because they don't understand how my power works." She touched the collar around her neck. Honestly she didn't need it. Okay so when it came to her barriers she did but she was actually rather harmless for the most part. "I've tried not feeling anything it only lasts for so long." She looked at the other girl. Her eyes were growing duller and it was evident in the softness of her voice that she was fadding but trying not too. Talking just might keep her awake long enough for the last trap she set to not go off when she passed out. It was in this place that she had learned to make herself stay away just a little longer than she thought she needed too. She wasn't about to get beat to within an inch of her life again for setting off a trap that she had just created because she had passed out. That memory was forever etched into her mind.

[Stella Booth]

Stella watched the girl Stella hated this place as much as anyone hear yes she had hurd people call others week before but most people had cryed once or twice in there sleep or at lest felt like it Stella sighed again not knowing what to say she didn't even no if you could feel nothing maybe if your head was beat in enough times it could happen you lose your self like being on a high that never ended or something.

“I don't want them to kill me” Stella stated kind of out of the blue it may of not made snece on why she said it to the girl but to he it did the girl said she was going to die because of them they all where “what whould you do for just one day out there in the real world” Stella wispered with almost a smirk on her face she tought about this one a few times she knew what she do she knew what she pay for it to. Stella looked at the girl she looked like she was going to pass out she must have had one of the powers that drained you when you where done using it “Hey pass out o.k dream about a nice bed with your boy friend or something holding on to your loved one don't mind me and if anyone trys to wake you up I don't care who they are i'll kill them” Stella looked a little passed she was in a killing mood today she lost a lot of her spunk hear being wiped everyday does that to a girl after awile but somethings take a bit more to change and if she killed some dumb gard today then what whould they do beat her again not feed her for a week they took her away form the world where she felt like a god every day and know she was nothing to anyone no family no friends she was going to die hear but she wasn't going to be forgotten.

[chloe]

People here weren't all bad. Most of them were upset because they were only allowed to use their powers when the guards wanted them to, to do work or other things around the camp. Others never got the collars off because the people thought them too dangerous. Everyone had a reason to call this place Hell or a nightmare. The guards thought they were kings of the world. Superior to the creatures that they commanded. Funny enough they were less human then the mutants themselves. Least that's what Chloe thought of them. They were the monsters. However, she still held in the back of her mind the dream of wanting the humans and the mutants to live together in harmony. No one was any better than the other. Sure mutants had abilities but they didn't have to use them for bad. There were good and bad regular humans too. However, she didn't see that dream coming true in her life time. She just wished that at some point it would.

She let out a sigh and moved so that she wouldn't be in a postion to fall on the other if she fell asleep. She cocked her head to the side when the other said she didn't want them to kill her. "I would rather they get what's coming to them for what they are doing to us. I'd rather not die." The question that was posed gave her a moment to actually clear her mind and think. If she got the chance for a day out of the place. "I'd find my twin and spend as much time as I could with him." She missed her twin with everything she had. They had been seperated before and didn't always have to be together but she liked it much better when he was with her. "I'd dance for part of that day too." She missed dancing and hoped she'd be able to do it when she got out of this place. She wasn't sure if any of the injures she had gotten while here would prevent her from doing that.

The other was telling her it was okay to pass out but she shook her head. "I can't or what I did for the last bit of work today will back fire. And then I'll be in big trouble." No sooner has she said that did she slump a little more. She really need to sleep just a little bit or she wouldn't be waking up for days. She looked at the other for a moment and her eyes shut. In the distance an explosion was heard. Her last trap had triggered and exploded on itself disappearing. She was in for it once she opened her eyes she knew. However, she could not open her eyes again least not now and her mind traveled to the day she was leaving to come to perform in Canada with her dance troupe. A trip that would turn into the nightmare that she could not wake up from.

[Stella Booth]

Stella smirked an almost evil smirk “I’d love to see this place covered in blood one of these days every human dead” she almost laughed as she said it would be a wonderful sight seeing this hole place covered in red blood the the way the warm blood felt under her finger nails seeing everyone head blown off dancing around yep that was what was coming to them as soon as she got free rain of her color deactivated and off destroyed everyone was dead who had hurt her hear.

Stella watched as she talked about what she was going to do if she just got one day out spend it with her brother and dance that was different then what she whoud do she try to find Liam she missed her L-bear but then part of her was sure he didn't want her back part of her was sure he was dead to they told her that everyone who wasn't in the camps form that day where dead well at lest that what they told her how true it was she wasn't sure but it was one of the ways they broke her.

When she explined that she choun't sleep cause her work would fall apart if she did Stella raised a brow what kind of work did they have her doing she wasn't working with Stella that was for sure. The girl nooded off soon and before long an explosion chould be hurd Stella watched the entry way waiting for the men to come and get pissed at the little girl for her thing exploding she was sure only one or two would come but today Stella wasn't in the mood to just sit like a good dog and watch them beat the other dogs today she wanted to be a bitch so much so they needed to beat her down.

It wasn't long before a guy came in all huffing and puffing about the fact that the girl let one of her traps go lose He came in yelling Stella didn't care what he was saying she just simple stood up her body all ready acheing form the work of today almost like he was going to have the man at her she stepped back a bit and moved behind him right when he was about to reach for the girl Stella jumped onto his back and wrapped her arm around his neck as fast as she could and started to choke him “She mine now dear I have a better plan” the guy was welt bilt and could out power her for sure but she had gotten the frist attack in and that’s what matered he was mad at Stella now not the girl in the corner.

[chloe]

The music started to play and Cosette let the nervousness she was feeling wash away from her. This was her solo dance something she could do in her sleep and she had practiced so many times there was no way she's make a mistake. Her body moved in once fluid motion. Her eyes opening every so often to look at the judges and then close once again. Not because she was recalling that pattern but because dancing with her eyes closed made her feel one with the music and the movement. There were no distractions then. The music started to fade and the last pattern of movement finished as she looked up at the judges a smile on her face. She could hear the clapping of the crowd and soaked it up for a moment before she was dismissed from the floor.

She walked back stage to pats on the back and everything else. She was happy and on a life high at that very moment. Scores came back and trophies were awarded hours later. It was dark and the group was heading back to the hotel. They had decided to take a more scenic route because well they weren't tired yet. Suddenly everything changed. Men advanced on them and the boys of the troupe stepped forward to protect the females. Then everything went black. Runes were hiding the group leaving only Cosette visible to the men her grabbed her and knocked her out. There was no more that could be remember and all went black.

Cosette fidgeted in her uneasy sleep. The events that lead her hear replayed in her mind so much so that when she was this tired she was afraid of falling asleep and staying that way. She couldn't wake up from the nightmare she was in and she's do anything to do so. She had barely heard the others words before she had passed out. Funny enough she didn't think them odd and she wouldn't stop the other from killing those that had hurt her. As a matter of fact at times Cosette even had that idea. She moved a little more so as either to be more comfortable or to get away from something. No one would really be able to tell. She had no clue what was going on with the other girl in that moment because everything was dead to her.

Chloe had never actually told anyone what she was doing. Most of the mutants that had tried to escape since she had gotten there knew exactly what it was she was doing. Mostly because she was the one that had to deactivate the traps once one was caught. At least in a few of the ones she had set up. The other ones the person didn't have a choice but to walk back into the camp or suffer what would happen if that rule was broken. No one ever faired well trying to resist in either situation and Chloe got a bit of the worse end most of the time. She hadn't a clue what the other girl did for work around the camp either. She knew that a lot of them were used as just a labor force. Her powers didn't really allow her to be used for such a thing but they did what the gaurds needed in protecting as they said the camp.

Chloe stired and woke up to the yelling of a man. She curled up more and tried to get a tiny as possible so he couldn't hurt her. She could see the hand coming towards her and she knew what would happen but it didn't happen. An instant later the other girl was on the ma's back and chocking him. Chloe's eyes went wide not in horror but more in disbeliefe. However, it was only slightly expected that at one point using powers or not they would all react in a way that would cause them to get beaten down. There was only so much one could take before you completely broke. Chloe on the other hand was a harder one to break. They tired but they coudn't get anything out of her to use against her. Chloe knew that if certain people in her family knew she was hear the entire place would be in danger. Of course that didn't stop her from trying to contact her brother.

She stood up in the corner trying to figure out what to do to the guy that had turned his attention to Stella who was hanging off of his back. Things were just about to get dirty and there was going to have to be something she could do in a quick turn around. Sure she hadn't wanted to get hurt or anything but she'd help the one that helped her. She wouldn't, couldn't allow the guy to beat the other within an inch of her life even if that's what the other wanted. No the tide would turn on the guy and she knew it would get them into deep trouble but she didn't care. So she watched and waited for the right time to strike. After all many didn't think she had it in her to do so. She didn't like hurting people and that was a fact but once someone started something she was sure as hell going to help out if she could. She was still dead tired but it looked like she had gotten a bit of an adrenaline rush. Hopefully enough to make a stand.

[Stella Booth]

The guy stode there for a momnet and just reached in his pocket and pressed a button on a remote before he even did anything “I am going to give you 5 seconds to get off of me before I beat you girl to the point you don't wish to live anymore”

Stella smirked not even caring if the girl had gotten back up at this point or not stella was having some fun she went to his ear and wispered into his ear “O dear I was just wanting to have some fun to night did I come across to strong” she kissed his check and tighten her grip for a second “you can play with me all night” she nipped his hear “what do you say about some privet sessions”

Her five seconds where up and he garbed her and flung her around making her hit the ground hard and but her foot over her chest “If I wanted a mutant I have my picks it would be an honer for them for me to take them and until you relize that you are nothing and will always belong under my feet” he spit on her face and kicked her in the side. Stella winched in pain she new she didn't have long tell back up arived and she needed to get this guy pissed at her enough that he just didn't care about what happened to the other girl she slowly got up and went to go punch the guy bite him what ever it took she wasn't the best fighter he had training but if she could get a hold of anything she bite it or do what ever she chould.

[chloe]

Chloe kept small and out of the way. In actuality she was pressed up against the wall just watching. The attention was away from her which made her happy however, things could get far more complicated. After all once the guy was done with the other maybe he'd come after her like was originally planned or back up would. One way or another she could get in serious trouble because of all of this too. She shrugged her shoulders though. If there was going to be a fight and people to protect then she'd do it. She couldn't use her barriers because of the damn collar around her neck but she could sure as hell put up a fight. She wasn't as fragile as even the humans saw her. She was just one that didn't want to fight unless she absolutely had too. Usually always calm to a fault.

The other girl looked to be having fun and well she wouldn't deny the girl her fun. She saw the guy press the button and knew all hell was going to break lose but she still waited. She had to have the right opening to grap the weapons if any that the men had. She really wished she had her own but luckily those were back at school. She's get them back one day and with them kill everyone who had harmed her. Okay so maybe she wouldn't do that as she wasn't that type of girl but still it came to mind. They deserved whatever they had coming to them. There was on one person the whole of her family she didn't want to know. Merely just because that particular person would destory the camp without so much as anyone getting the chance to run and that wouldn't be good. She sighed and looked at what was going on in front of her. Stella was on the ground and being pined down by the man's foot.

A soft growl came out of her own mouth. She was started to get fed up with how they treated everyone. They weren't lower class citizens or creatures, they were people too. She could help but laugh at the mans words. "Like any of us would have you. You are nothing but slime in the eyes of most of us. Something that can be easily killed if we got the chance." She knew those words would get her something but she didn't rightly care. He was far to arrogant for his own good. She had head what the other girl said before and that alone made her giggle too but the man's words were a complete laughing matter. The other girl got back up and started to bite the man and do what she could. Chloe was grateful that the other was trying in a sense to protect her but not that she was awake she was going to help the other one too.

Two more guards came rushing in. One made a comment about the fact that he'd gone to get probably the most unlikely to fight creature they had. Chloe in the back of the room just snickered. She felt like saying something to their comments but didn't the other guy was busy with Stella and mentions something about her being in the corner. She looked up and knew that one would come for her while the other went for Stella to keep her from causing more damage. This was going to literally turn into hell and possibly a blood bath. Who would come up on top wasn't decided just yet. One man turned to her and looked straight at her.

"You know what you did." "Its not my fault you work me to the point where I'll pass out. They don't stay up if you do that. And It was one. One little trap out in the forest as opposed to the thirty you have around here. Honestly you can not work me like that. How many times do you have to tell you?!" She wasn't putting up these traps willingly but she would do it so she didn't get beat within an inch of her life. She had to stay alive long enough to get out of this place and have her revenge. She didn't want to die but she was not getting very sick and tired of their blantant lack of realizing what could happen when the pushed her too hard. She looked at the whip in one guys hand that was going to head for Stella and without so much as a slight movement she had the whip away from the guy as was welding it herself. She could grab the belt the first guy had but she needed a better opening. The one that had been talking to her advanced a bit on her until she raised the whip. "Funny enough I know how to use one of these." Her usual sweet sounding voice had a hint of malice to it and made the guy back up.

[Stella Booth]

Stella was easyliy out muscled as soon as the second guy came into the picture when some would just lay down and take the rest of the beating but Stella didn't at lest not right now She kept fighting she saw the whip go up as it was going to hit her then it seemed to be yanked form his hands she looked around for a second to see that the other girl was up she gave her a smirk at what she said to the guys o they where in for a huge beating after this.

Stella was at lest happy to know that only one of the guys had a weapon that where after her now it was if they called for more there was only so much 2 teenage girls chould do on there own. And if they got 10 guys in hear there was no way they where going to make it out of hear with out new scars and most likely a wost punishment.

Stella lunged for the first guys legs and pulled his pants down snece he was using his belt to hit her if she stay still or to protect where she was going Stella smirked when he triped over him self but the other guy just wraped his arms around her pinning her arms to her side and held her he was yelling about how she was going to pay for this something about no food or maybe they lock her up and have it so she didn't talk to anyone for a week Stella just kicked trying to get lose form his grip still laughing at the fact she had made the other guy lose his pants and he was now trying to put them back on before stella got the beating of a life time.

[chloe]

Chloe was being pushed to the breaking point. She was not usually one for fighting or for hurting others no matter what they did to her. However, these guys were hurting someone who was trying to help her which changed things a little. The other thing was that she was tired of being treated this way and she was snapping. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. By now a barrier would have been up but she wasn't sure what would happen to the ones that were outside in the state that she was in. She knew even with the collar on the traps she created would explode if she passed out but would they do the same thing if she got angry or came close to death. She shrugged off those thoughts. They were bound to implode if she died but she couldn't be sure it would be hard for the guys to deactivate them if she did so they'd have to keep her alive.

She looked at the situations at hand. There were three guys against two teenage girls and Stella was putting up a rather lovely fight with the two that had gone after her. The third guy that had been looking at her hit a button and Chloe sighed. This was going to be a rather interesting fight and she was sure the men would come out at top but no before they did some damage to them and their morale. Chloe knew they'd be in for it later and this wouldn't be the end of it but at the moment she didn't rightly care. It took a matter of seconds for her to completely shut down emotions and make herself numb to what was going on. She'd be upset later if something seriously horrible happened to the other but now was the time to just fight and not care about anything at all but getting out of it alive and with as few scars as possible. She was not looking forward to when she was asked by family what happened to her.

Chloe watched the guard that Stella had depantsed with a giggle. He was putting back on his pants and she was quick on the draw and had his belt. This was going to be interesting. Double welding things she wasn't skilled in but worked just like the ribbon flyers she used in dance which she was rather skilled in. She looked at the one that had pushed the button and watched the door for a moment a three more guards ran in. The three of the mumbles as one went to Stella and the other two guards and the others went to Chloe. She could see the needle in two of their hands. Tranquilizers she was sure and that had her a little worried. They hadn't used them on her yet so she wasn't sure what effect they would have on her. She'd do everything not to have the needle stuck into her.

They advanced and she let the whip go along with the belt. At some point she hit the guy that was pinning Stella down and two of the ones that had advanced on her. The belt had managed to be slipped from her hands but she was still holding her own. One of the others had a whip too but she didn't much care about it. She'd snapped completely and was fighting just to stay alive now and was rather good at it.

[Stella Booth]

Stella grunted when she saw another few guys come in o this was going to end o so well for them in the end Stella squirmed a bit when she saw that they had Tranquilzers dammit she was not going to go down sleeping that was not original that was not cool and that did not leave a mark in the end.

When the guy who was pinning her was hit Stella took the opportunity to get out of his grip for a second and backing up again the other girl may have been able to hold her own but for Stella she was underfeed before she got hear never had worked before she got hear so Stella was weaker then almost everyone hear.

It wasn't long before the guys tackeled her again and she hit the ground with two guys onto of her the other one with the tranquilzer quickly stuck it in before they stella even knew what happened. The guys got off of her knowing she wasn't much of a treat anymore a real punishment would happen once she woke up.

The world grew fuzzy with little time Stella struggled to stand up trying to grip onto any wall or anything to help her up she fell almost 3 times she took off her shoe and chucked it at one of the guys...well she was aiming for the head but had missed...horribly. She then fell to the ground and stuck up her hand lifting up her middle finger yea they could all go to hell and burn. The room was fuzzy as stella watched to see when the other girl would fall.
