drew turned around in a spin on his heel to face the redhead. she was much shorter than him, like scarlet though this girl was much different; having different features of face, scarlet being more beautiful and her being pretty, and many other differences. drew scowled down at her, a slight smirk tugging at the side of his mouth. "well, well, you sure do remind me of somebody." he teased, looking past her to see mars. "good job on bringing this tramp back. i thought scarlet would really have to do it." drew looked down at her, taking her in. she obviously wasn't going to be a nice girl, but none of them were, were they? he started to lift his hand to chew his thumb nail but stopped and rested his hand at his side. "yes, i know who you are, and i know you know who i am so let's just cut the act and get down to business, shall we?" drew snarled, shoving her harshly into his office, motioning for mars to follow. he eased his strength but grabbed her shoulders and pushed her down into the chair in front of his desk. "so, aspen," drew directed to her, sending a sharp eye piercing look to her. "i have a little bit of a problem with you bothering my man here, with your tagging along and blabber blabber with girl talk questions. and it seems you think you are part of the group but actually i'm not so sure of that, aspen." he rebuked in a snake like hiss. "i don't trust people, mars here is a lot like me in some ways. we dispose when we want and we pick up when we need. and it doesn't look like we need you. but you aren't leaving just yet, dear."

Tramp?
Aspen snorted at the insulting nickname, her little hand balling up into a fist. She felt Mars behind her and consoled herself. Drew was his mess to clean up, she had Scarlet to go track down. She was just about to turn and leave when Drew insinuated that she was simply an obstacle to him. She was some little girl, walking, talking pinhead who was only in Mars' way. Too late.

As soon as the words left his mouth, she lost it. She didn't care if Mars saw her acting like a raving mad woman, so be it. No one would talk disrespectfully to her ever. She leaped at Drew, her hands going for his uniform shirt collar. She used her strength to push him up against the wall behind him and pressed his body up. Every vein seemed to bulge from her skin, her teeth clenched and bared, her entire body tense. Her eyes were insane with anger.

"My turn, Princess. First off, don't you ever even think about calling me weak or useless ever again. Secondly, I'm here on my own accord. Your little Scarlet couldn't drag me here even if there were ten of her. In case you haven't noticed, I've gained a little strength for my size, so don't you think for a minute that you can order me around like you own the place. And Lastly, you will not be disposing or picking me up, I'm not an object you can pick and choose. I'm only here because I want to know what the hell you want with me."

She snarled, letting him loose of her grip. Her entire body was trembling, her nose bloodied from her increased heart rate; pounding blood through her veins. She must have gotten a nose bleed half way through her rage. She didn't care, she couldn't even feel it. She recomposed herself, waiting for Drew's explanation. Hopeful now, he would know that he wasn't dealing with some weak, pathetic child. He was dealing with her.

drew was almost startled when the girl pushed him against the wall. she was crazy, freakishly looking like a witch in that ugly possessed way. he was surprised her eyes didn't roll up in her head, grew warts, turned green and start spitting flames. he could have easily made her unconscious or killed her with a flick of his finger but he wanted to wait and have it for a good moment when he could watch in pleasure. she was like a little hulk but with red skin.
once she released her strength on him, he straightened his coates uniform tightly, smoothing out the wrinkles she had put into the fabric. he undid the top button on his jacket and in a flash after acting cool, his hands were up, palms out toward her.
he sent an invisible force toward her, making the feeling of a semi crashing into her chest, knocking her against the wall only to crumple at the base of the floor. he kept his hand out, waiting for a moment when she didn't get up. he stepped forward, now picking her pitiful limp body off the floor, holding her in mid air to let her feel that feeling of being overthrown. to let her know he was in charge and she couldn't stop that. he would always be the strongest, no matter what. a teenage girl couldn't ruin that because she just gave up with a cool super-power and is acting big and bad in front of the guy she likes.
he looked at her, with pity in his eyes. he felt bad for her, it probably embarrassed her for trying but he didn't care. her nose was bleeding and her face was flushed a hot red color where he thought she'd start sizzling. her own doing. it wasn't like he cared. he still held it for a moment, grinning so wide, with a soft chuckle escaping under his cold hissing breath. "you have a lot to learn, girl. oh, and just so you know, mars likes the weak ones." with that, drew let her drop from where he was holding her at his telekinetic grip and let all of her body weight fall to the floor in a loud thud. he turned, walked out of the room, poked his head in once more to add, "we'll have our little session later.", and then he slammed the door, locking it.

She couldn't explain it. She was strong enough to crush a car, but she felt him push her back after she let him go. She was just about to turn around and slug him right back in the face, only to find he was on the other side of the room where she had left him. He was holding out his hand in an eerie way, as if he had stretched out to push her. Before she could comprehend what he was doing, another hit. This one was harder, and it threw her against the opposite wall. Crunch! Her head left an indent into the plaster wall. She hung there in midair. The was an excruciating weight on her chest, as if someone was pushing down on her to press the air from her lungs. She stared at Drew with her teeth bared in anger. This was his doing.
Aspen pushed with all her might against the force. It felt as if a piece of glass had molded to her body. She pressed up against it, only able to resist it enough to breath. She screamed at Drew. She was still infuriated, and his retaliation wasn't helping. "Don't insult me, Drew! Don't let your little mind game go to your head." She managed to make out. When Drew released her, she stayed silent. Soon. Soon Mars will take care of you. Soon, I won't be having to put up with this. Soon. She thought with disgust of him. She couldn't wait to see his face when the hammer came down. She wasn't weak, she had a new found temper. When Drew left the room, she stood up and brushed herself off. She looked up to Mars, looking for any sign of a reaction, weather it was shock, anger, or his typical apathy. He hadn't done anything, not that she expected him to. She nearly thought he would have walked out with Drew. But her only remark to mars was simply:"He makes me sick. Do with him what you want, but watch out for that.

Pain. In the back of my head. In my lower back. My lip even felt swollen.
I had woken up a good ten minutes ago, but still, the exhaustion ceased any action that I wanted to take place. I was in complete darkness and silence. They had cut the light, knowing it was an disadvantage on my end.
The first thing I had thought was that this was all some terrible dream. The dome, my parents disappearing. Even the creeper who knocked me out. But the beating that continued to rack my body reminded me that was not the case. I groaned and shifted in my position, scowling to myself. Where were Kayden and Ashland? Were they alright? Did they know I was gone, or why? Where was I, anyway? And what did Drew and Mars want me for?
I had already decided that just sitting there in the dark was better than anything else to do. Pretend to be weak, plus getting my body some rest, was the best option at this point. Nobody came for me. Not Drew, not Mars. Not my sisters. Which was good, because how could I live with myself knowing that they were, too, in the same fate, just because I had wanted to question Drew? And how long had I been out, anyway? I was guessing not very long—perhaps two hours.
So what else could I do, but silently wait in the dark and silent, hoping that perhaps I might find an escape? But let me tell you, if you’re reading this: I wasn’t waiting for any knight in shining armor or Edward Cullen to leap out of the trees. My knight in shining armor? That was my pistol and God. In fact, I made sure it was still loaded. Thankfully, Mars hadn't found it. Come on you psycho, I thought bitterly. But the only thing I had to wait for, to bring everything together, was when that door opened. So I continued to wait, patient. And hopefully, just hopefully, that door would open. And I’d have my chance.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Mars leaned against the wall, by the doorframe, arms crossed as watched it all transpire. He didn’t owe anything to either of them, so he did not say anything; did not try to keep it from happening. And perhaps that was strength in itself: letting Drew know that he didn’t have to do a thing. He just watched, silent, his eyes moving back and forth between the two. This was not only a great opportunity to see how Drew would react, but whether or not Aspen truly understood why he was doing this and if she was fully committed.
As Drew walked out, he raised an eyebrow, silent, menacing. Deceiving. “Great job, there,” He said sarcastically, patting Drew’s shoulder as the other boy walked out. The door shut and then locked. Mars turned to look back at Aspen. She was still fuming. He gave a half-shrug, still trying to surpass his slight surprise at her power—he could just tell she had one. And perhaps that was what put him off. That she was a freak and if she wanted to, she could use that against him if she ever thought what he was going to do was wrong. Well, maybe, to another, it would be. But he believed in revenge, and whatever he had to do to gain it.
He just silently nodded his head at her and looked away before walking out of the room, the stilled feeling of emotional detachment settling back in just as the silent, heavy boots began their stride once again. Always moving.

She stood alone in the empty mess of an office that the two had disheveled. Lights flickered from the wrecked electiric wires surly behind the smashed walls. She took a moment, calming herself down. She had to get a handle on her temper, Mars was obviousily not happy with her outburst. Did he really expect her to submit like a dog at Drew's feet? No, she had this thing called self respect; she would not be talked down to by some overexcited teenager. She didn't know what he wanted from her. All she wanted to do was to help him, why couldn't he see that? Was it possible he was scared of her? That was ridiculous, she would never use her power on him. If she wanted to, she would have when he pissed her off and she wrecked the car instead of wrecking him. She had some control when it came down to Mars.
Aspen, after taking a few long moments to compose herself, smoothed out her hair, her clothes, and her mind. She went to open the door. Locked. Of course. But you think that would really keep me in here, Drew? She lifted her foot in a swift kick. The door fell off it's hinges and slammed onto the tile hall floor. The echo bounced down the halls and faded. She walked over the door and out. She could still hear Drew and Mars talking in the lower levels. The last thing she wanted was to face them again right now. She found a window that opened up to the front of the building. She could see down the streets, the dim light of the road lights. It was quiet, but she could see a small group down one of the streets. Maybe a new crew. She might as well go check it out. She popped the glass of the window and pulled herself through onto the roof. She climbed down a few levels to where she could land a jump. She crashed onto the grass with a roll. Aspen stood up, stretched out her sore body and walked down the dark street to the group she saw from the rooftop.
Aspen precariously made her way towards the group. She didn't know if they were hostile, and she wanted to make a better impression on them than she did Drew. "Hey." She called out to them, walking up to the group. They looked like a sketchy group of teenagers, but that really didn't matter to her anymore. She had been through a pretty sketchy day already.

Drew walked into the hallway, hearing Mars behind him. He turned, a bitter glint in his dark eyes. "I don't like her Mars. You need to pick somebody who is a little more ..." He started to say, trailing off slightly as he walked down the hall. "Like prey." He suggested, laughing coldly as he disappeared into the musky hallway, down into the basement with dust hanging in the still air. He looked around, walking down the steps, one, two, three, four, five. He turned the knob to the wooden door in front of him, a creaking sound escaping into the room. He kicked it and it swung open far enough for him to see the frightened girl in the corner of the room. "Well, well," He chanted for a moment but stopped, closing the door, and then turned back to her. "T.J.!" Drew called out and he thought the boy wouldn't come at the last minute when he appeared in the room shadows of the room with sunken in shoulders and terror on his face. A weakling. Like Aspen. He smirked. "Let her hear. Let her see." He barked out, ordering the young one to do as he said. T.J. walked over, old sneakers scraping across the cold stone floor as he moved over to her. He reached out, putting his hands on her ears for a short moment and then touched her eyelids lightly. Nicolette was fighting against him which didn't surprise Drew. Then the boy stepped back to stand beside Drew, and sighed. He could tell he felt sorry for her, his eyes were full of pity. But that was important now. "Nicolette, shall we get started?" Drew asked, taking in the girls' actions. She looked relieved but still terrified. Yes. This was perfect.

ａｓｈｌａｎｄ ｐｉｅｒｃｅ

My head was down, watching every motion of my feet. Each step the took closer to home and where my plan would take place. I was shaken out of my thoughts when I heard a shout in front of me. I stopped in my tracks, looking up to see a short redhead girl girl staring me in the face. Well, actually, I think she was looking at the group behind me. I straightened, looking her over for a minute. She looked like one of the Coates kids, with the uniform and all. Plus, just her looks. The evil look on her face. She had to be crazy like the rest of them. I pressed my lips into a thin line, but then a smirk spread across my face, showing my teeth. "What can I do for ya?" I wouldn't let her talk with my sister or the group just yet until I was sure what she wanted. She looked a little tattered though. Like she had come out of a fighting. I noticed the blood then. Dribbling from her nose onto her lip, some smeared across her face. If I would have known her, I would have helped a little but no. She was a stranger and it didn't look like she was a nice one. "Where ya get that, miss?" I asked, swaying into my hill-billy accent just to throw her off. She was obviously a preppy, prissy girl who thought she was superior over everybody else. I spread my feet apart, my heavy boots making the slightest thud on the pavement. I ran my tongue over my teeth, purposely finding something in them, and then spit, the saliva landing itself right next to her pretty little feet. I looked up at her, my eyes bitterly staring hard down at her's.

Aspen stopped walking towards them when a girl turned to approach her. Aspen stepped back for a moment. When the girl, who she was right to say was a townie, came to her, she stayed silent until she was finished speaking. She licked the blood from her lip.
"I don't mean you or your friends any harm. I'm Aspen. I was just in a fight with the Coates new dictator, Drew. Have you heard of him?"
She asked the girl. She really didn't have a problem with Townies like the other students did, they weren't bad or anything, they mostly stayed to themselves and never caused her any trouble. Petty stereotypes were useless now, especially to her. She wasn't with Drew's Crew, she had been formal un-invited. She was purposeless for the time being. Mars wasn't going to act anytime soon, and if Townies hated the Coates as much as she thought they did, then they would want exactly what she wanted: Drew dethroned.

I felt them in the room. I wasn't sure how many people, but I was certain now that I was not alone. I crawled back as far as I could, until my back came in contact with the cool wall. That was it. That was as far as I could possibly hide from the danger ahead. And then somebody touched me. I jerked away, both out of surprise and fury. I wasn't going to be treated like some lab rat, let alone give them the satisfaction that I had given up all hope. Well. They had it all twisted: I was striving for hope. But it whatever they wanted, they were quick enough to touch me, and satisfied, too, because they backed off.
Slowly, it felt like a switch came on. I could see. And what I saw were the snake-like eyes of Drew Henderson. Dictator of town. I opened my mouth to speak, to shout terrible, terrible words at him, but I was caught unaware. Vulnerable. Because he spoke -- and I could hear.
I barely caught his words, the fast that he knew my name. It disgusted me. But I was focusing more on the idea that I was hearing him. Honestly hearing him -- not in the muffled, distortion I normally hear in. Clear, precise words were leaving his mouth and traveling, meeting my ear. How the heck could that be? I swallowed reluctantly, and glanced at the open doorway behind him. If I could just shoot him, unprepared...
"I don't know you. And you definitely do not know me." There. Now it sounded like I had the upper hand of the conversation. I hesitated, glancing wearily at the child beside him. "You use children, right?" I touched my bruised lip, and gave him a sarcastic smile. "To do this? Innocent children? And how come I can hear?" I stood, wobbly on my legs. I stared at him, hard, unfazed. "You're a sick, twisted mind." I gathered all the saliva in my mouth and spit it right in his face. Then, anger burning in my eyes, I stood back, satisfied, and expecting the blow. Take it out on me rather than my sisters.
