Steadying my breathing, I scanned the surrounding area, eyes focused on any sudden movements. How the FBI had found us again, after the many months on the run, I had no idea, but I just knew we had to keep safe and out of site. Crouching in the shadows of the darkened alley, I narrowed my eyes, trying not to feel too panicky. Hands trembling slightly, I glanced to my right, trying to make out the reassuring shape of Aleks, the one I trusted with my life. He was still there, good. Too scared to turn my head fully or even whisper a single word, I continued my frantic search for the agents without showing any signs of movement.

evangeline black was a wildcat as she kicked, screamed, bit, and clawed at anything she could reach. the men holding her proved to be far too strong for the young woman, though, and before she knew it she was being thrown back into her cell. since she'd been a "resident", as they liked to call it, eva had proved to be anything but complacent. any time the guards took her out, the spit-fire blonde was sure to provide a fight. growling, the blonde threw herself down onto the bed provided for her, not caring in the least as the abundance of fluffy pillows bounced to the ground. rolling to her back, she stared up at the ceiling, silently wondering how she could have been stupid enough to get herself captured in the first place. closing her eyes, she began to play back the events leading up to her confinement.

the day was just starting, and for the last week she had been asking around, checking out multiple rumors that normally ended in busts. for weeks, evangeline black had heard tales on the news about a few odd individuals. the individuals had been rumored to have strange abilities, and as a rather strange individual herself, eva had begun to follow every lead that could possibly give her information on the kids. there wasn't much out there, and so when she'd been contacted anonymously she'd gotten caught up in the idea that there were others out there. others like her. and so, being her curious ol' self, eva had unwittingly gone to a meet-up with the anon, and been captured in the process. turns out, there were others like her, and she'd been captured and imprisoned just as they had.

evangeline gasped as she snapped up in the bed, blinking in the dim lighting of the room. heart tapping out a furious beat in her chest, the girl sat for a moment before she was finally able to catch her breath. at least this time she'd come out of the dream before memories of the tests began to replay themselves in her mind. shaking her head, the blonde stood, pacing around the confines of the room she was forced to stay in.

Aleks was not one to panic; and definitely not in a situation as dangerous as this one. They had somehow managed to find them again, to track them down, to somehow get close enough to the duet to be able to nip at their heels while running after them. In all honesty, it had been the ravenhead's fault; he had not taken proper precautions during the short period of time that they had used up while purchasing food in a convenience store. Aleks had no idea that the place would be wealthy enough to be able to purchase security cameras good enough to see their faces, let alone had he known that they would report them to the police on sight.

Of course, there was quite a bit of money put to his and Silvia's names, likely contributing to the fact that anyone knew of them in the first place. The government wanted them, and what the government wanted, the government eventually managed to get. It was a cycle that nobody managed to outrun forever before, and Aleks was positive that soon they'd be faced with a life-threatening decision as well.

His soft, yet firm, hand fell upon the pink-haired female's own hand beside him, entwining their wingers and rubbing soothing circles on her palm. "I'm sorry," He murmured, far too quiet for anyone else to hear. "This is my fault, I should have been more cautious," They had quite a strange relationship, as anyone they'd met before described it, seeing each other as brother and sister in most ways. It hadn't been any particular kind of problem that they were extremely protective of each other until now; the FBI had found out about their close relationship and they knew.

They knew that if you took one puzzle piece away from a puzzle, it would no longer be complete.

It was the same for both of them, as they'd probably be run down with guilt and pain that whoever was left would likely turn themselves in to the FBI as well, hoping to come across the other to spark a small bit of hope, to be able to think that everything was okay for once in their lives. It would've been a huge relief to know that at least the latter was alive; although, Aleks would've been willing to do anything to save her.

"We need to run, Silv," The words came out at the same time as his breath, low and hoarse. "They're going to find us if we hide here any longer." Turning to look at his best friend, the ravenhead soon caught her figure in the darkness, making out a scared face and a trembling body.

I smiled a little, more than grateful for the little bit of comfort the body contact gave me. Turning slightly to look in Aleks' direction again, I saw the small traces of a guilty expression on his face, and easily guessed what he was thinking about - I guess that's what having such a close relationship allowed you to do. Squeezing his hand gently in return, I whispered a few hurried words of my own. "Hey, none of this is your fault, you know. Don't ever think it was."

Aleks was like a brother to me, and definitely the closest thing I had to family. I really had believed we'd eventually go back to our old lives, but it was all too clear now that believing that would be like coming face to face with the Queen - pretty much impossible, sadly. I dragged myself out of my jumbled thoughts and back into reality at his next words.

"O-okay, where to?" I asked nervously, a slight stutter in my voice as I looked around for any signs of the agents that had been hot on our heels only minutes before. Aleks had always been the leader, the braver one in our army of two, and I was glad of that. I trusted his judgement with my life, and now was no different. "I'm ready when you are." I added as a 'reassuring' after thought, licking my dry lips as I did so. It was quite cold, I had to admit, and the abnormally chilly wind did nothing to sooth the nerves I felt.

Christina Ann Lee decided to play a trick on Rowan. She quickly shifted into hummingbird form and flew around their camp, looking for him. When she finally found him by the stream, she fluttered down and flew in circles around his head.

The Government
Experiment #23 -Willow Song
Two guards unlocked the door of Experiment #23's room. They found her turning off the tv, with a surprised look on her face. They didn't give this a second thought, as their job was only to guard the Experiments. They pushed her along the long, plain corridor and pushed her into the Experiment Lab #18.

Experiment #28 -Amelia Harper
The door clicked open and in came two guards. She seemed to be staring at the ceiling for some reason, but they hardly noticed. They took her out of her room and escorted her through the long hallway and shoved her into Experiment Lab #18.

Experiment #21 -Evangeline Black
The door swung open suddenly and three guards stomped into the room of Experiment #21. She seemed angry, but the men didn't know for sure as they weren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. They led her through the boring corridor and into the Experiment Lab #18.

when the door of her room suddenly flew open, evangeline was ill prepared. the girl spun around in surprise, tripping over the plush rug beneath her feat and fell to the ground with a harsh thud. with her breath effectively knocked out of her, the guards had virtually no trouble hoisting her up and carrying her away. once she was able to breath properly again, evangeline fought tooth and nail, though it was to no avail. soon, the girl found herself being shoved into what looked like yet another lab room. but this time, there was something different. there were others, too. her gaze narrowing, the blonde turned to flip off the guards as they exited the room, though they didn't pay her too much attention. eva huffed, turning back to face the other two girls with her hands set firmly on her hips. she sized them up, wondering if she should reveal what she was, or wait to see what they would do. her choice made, eva easily hopped up onto one of the lab tables, her legs swigging back and fourth. "so, what're you two in for?" she asked, her tone light and breezy though her eyes were pinned on the other two girls.

roman had been sitting by the stream for a while now, freezing and unfreezing the water with little thought. he'd been just about to leave, when a familiar form began flitting around his head. rolling his eyes, the boy tried to follow the little hummingbird, though doing so was nearly impossible in his current form. laughing, he trailed his hand through the stream, tossing a bit of water into the air to splash the tiny bird. "c'mon now, christina, stop foolin' around or i'll frost your wings again" he joked. though the threat may have seemed a bit harsh, there was no real heat behind it, and in all honesty he probably wouldn't follow through with it. roman was still learning how to control his particular powers, and he definitely didn't want to hurt his friends in the process. so far, though, he was easily able to freeze small bodies of water, and he hadn't been able to test his abilities on anything larger. someday, though he thought as he waited for the hummingbird to cease her game.

Amelia glared up at the two stocky men dragging her by the arms. "Y'know, you could actually try to keep up some semblance of niceness." The guards said nothing and continued walking. Well, that didn't work. She tried bargaining. Nothing. Appealing to their humanity. Even struggling got nothing more than tightened grips.

It was more of a relief than anything to get thrown into a room and the door slammed in your face. No guards and a period of time to escape before they came back was a perfect chance to flee from this mess.
...It would be if she were alone. She wasn't.
"so, what're you two in for?" a voice from above inquired. Truth be told, Amelia hadn't noticed the other two, being absorbed in her own thoughts. "Me? Oh, I can make pretty lights. But that's not exactly why I'm in here. "

Christina hovered above Rowan's head for a few seconds, and the darted off to the oposite bank. She zipped back over to Rowan then returned to the other side of the river. She repeated this several times. Around the third lap, she started chirping urgently, as if there was something important she needed to tell him. She didn't, but he didn't need to know that.

On the fifth round, she settled down on a birch tree twig and smoothed out her ruffled feathers a bit. Then cocked her little head and tweeted quietly. Raising her wings, Christina took off again and paused ever so slightly at the next tree. Hoping Rowan got her meaning, she dashed off into the deeper parts of the forest.

As Willow entered the room, she wondered if these tests would ever end. She was soon lost in the past, wishing this nightmare would finally come to an end. As soon as this thought entered her mind, she mentally scolded herself. No one is coming to rescue you. This isn't one of those fairytales that you read about in books. This is reality. And reality isn't exactly kind.

She snapped back to the present when another girl around her age asked what she was doing there. She wasn't sure if she should tell her she had powers but since they were all locked here together, what the heck."I have powers." She blurted out bluntly.

alright then, just lay everything on the table, eh? eva laughed inwardly as the girl blurted out the fact that she had 'powers'. "well, don't we all?" she asked, hoping to get a bit more information than what was given. what she really wanted to know was if they were like her or not. eva had figured that there had to be more people here after her first round of testing, though she hadn't fully believed it until now. and what was this about pretty lights? frowning, she turned to the other girl, "well, that's interesting. me? i blow things up. but, if you're not in here for your light tricks, then why?" still sitting atop the table, the blonde finally stopped her leg motions, hoping that they would have enough time to chat before the guards and lab-rats came back. "oh and, the name's evangeline black. figure we should at least know each others names in case we can't finish our little chat, ya'know?"

roman frowned, he was getting the distinct feeling that christie wanted him to follow her. pursing his lips, the male decided to indulge the tiny hummingbird as she continued to flit back and fourth across the stream. setting his hand to the water's surface, the boy smiled when it began to freeze over. once the ice was thick enough, he tested its sturdiness and then crossed. roman's eyes narrowed as he tried valiantly to track the tiny bird. he wished, not for the first time, that he too could move with such speed and agility. as a swan, flying through such forested places was not the easiest thing in the world to do. but hey, give him water and roman was perfectly capable of gliding across the surface at varying speeds. when christina finally settled on a tree, roman stood beneath it for a moment only to sigh when she took off again. finally, roman began to understand the girls meaning as he followed her deeper and deeper into the forest. obviously, there was something she wanted to show him, but what?
