**Wow. Calvin fair just disappeared there**

Calvin Rivers

In the middle of his conversation with Arista, Calvin felt nausea overtaking him, seeing a similar reaction in her. It's the vaccine - it really is poison! He panicked, barely noticing the wall of force that now seemed to emanate from Arista. His breathing became shallower, eyes widening as he staggered backwards, a dull clang sounding when his back collided with the lockers behind him.

He frowned a little then, feeling pain beginning to build in his wrists, as though they were bruised. What the hell kind of poison...?

Without any further warning, Calvin felt that pain turn from a mild irritant into a lance the length of his arm, felt the skin of his wrists split open. He screamed, the bones of his forearm elongating and pushing out, long spikes stained with flecks of red. This isn't right! His inner-self howled. Poison doesn't work this way!

"There's one!" Blind with agony as he was, Calvin could see little more than hazy blobs moving towards him. "Jesus, this is one hell of a reaction."

Arms grabbed him, lifted him up the floor, being careful to stay away from the bones sticking out of his wrists. Closing his eyes, incapable of doing anything to stop them at this particular time, Calvin willed the bones to retract. And, to his great surprise, he felt them slowly starting to draw back into his arms.

"Where do we take him?" One of the carriers asked.

"Just throw him in with the others. Can't be much of a danger to anyone, look at the state he's in."
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt. - Yossarian, Catch-22

After the fifth kid was thrown in, the door slammed again. The newest guy was bleeding from his wrists and the one before him was blending in with the interior of the truck.

"So much for hiding." Andrew murmured.

"We can still get out of this, but I have to ask. Does anyone have mind control powers?" Envie looked at the others hopefully. When no one said anything, she sighed. "Alright, time to experiment." She looked at the new guy, Calvin she thought was his name. "But first, you're bleeding pretty bad."

He looked at his wrists. "My bones did something weird."

"I'm not going to say I'm surprised. Here." She took off her jacket and ripped off the sleeves, handing them to him. "Wrap your wrists. Okay," She turned to the others, "as far as I know, I can teleport or something like it. I want to see if I can teleport with another person. If I can, we've got a way out. Who wants to volunteer?"

Llama 1:"That is what forgiveness sounds like; screaming and then silence."

Lucy panted. She hid behind a plant some halls down. Her right arm was bleeding where she ripped the needle out of her arm when the chaos broke out. Their voices ripped her soul to pieces.


Hold her down! We need to get this in her!

Her wrists were bright pink and bloody where their hands gripped them. Her thrashing was so violent she broke one person's nose. All she wanted, were the voices to go away. They were a chorus of yells and screams. Such evil voices with malicious intent.

"GO AWAY!" Lucy reached her arm up and bit down as hard as she could, her teeth sinking deep into the flesh. She tried to drown the pain out with greater agony, but all it did was mix with the torture in her head.

Foot steps made her perk up. They were close, and the voices in her head began to narrow to two. The voices weren't angry, but they weren't nice either.

Find. Subdue. Retrieve.

Lucy let go of her arm, the warm metallic taste of her blood running down her lips and chin. She huddled closer into the plants corner. She wasn't going to let those two sneak up on her.

Lucy leapt from behind the plant, ramming straight into one of the two. She wrapped her arms around the one's neck, and pulled herself up, sinking her teeth deep into the guy's neck. Something hard hit the back of her head, and with her last bit of strength, she took a good piece of skin off the one's neck. Curses sprung from his mouth as she landed to the ground.

The next thing she knew, she was coming in and out of conciousness. Voices rang through her ears but not making any words. All she saw, were two pairs of feet, and cold metal flooring on her face.

Arista "Arie"

She ran and ran, rpoud that hse had controlled her power although there were times in which everything went flying again. But she suddenly stopped when she heard the screams of her friends.
There were some people in uniforms taking her firnds to a big truck and she could do nothing. SHe felt useless and still wanted her friends enough to want them with her.

**Starlet**

The people int he truck were piling up and I tried my best to stay in the corner, away from any contact.
"Yeah, that's a good idea, try to teleport out, Envie," she was holing a guy that was bleeding from the wrist, badly.
"What are we going to do about the men," some guy who looked exactly like the wall shouted. I think his name was Derrin.
"I could probably help with the men," the van went quiet and all eyes were on me," I mean, all I have to do is go grey and touch them."
"Go grey," Derrin said, moving towards me," what's that?" I put my hands out in defense and cringed back.
"Don't touch her," Andrew warned," or you'll be in for a big surprise." Envie laughed before refocusing her attention to that Calvin kid.
"Well, if my hands are red," I started," and someone touched any part of my skin, they get burned. Same with blue and grey, 'cept blue is cold and grey-"
"Sucks the life out of you," Andrew finished. I heard a round of murmurs come from the van.
"Yeah that would help," Derrin whispered," but you can't go alone."

"We don't want you to give yourself away, Star. I'll try and get us all out and maybe to my room We can hide there and pretend to have skipped out on the vaccine. I don't know about you, but I want to go to the Valentine's Day Dance."

"Are you even sure you can teleport yourself safely?" DJ, the guy who had turned the exact color of the truck, asked.

"Let me see." Envie closed her eyes, focusing on the foyer of the school. She let go of her hold on the tingles and the cold and dark surrounded her. Just as the rushing filled her ears, it stoped and she opened her eyes. Not exactly the foyer, but close. She was in the janitor's closet that sat off the foyer. Opening the door, she saw some more uniformed men dragging a girl with a buzz cut out of the building.

"What are you doing in there?" A deep voice shouted. Envie looked up to see a soldier coming toward her. Quickly putting on an innocent, scared look, she lied. "One of my friends burst into flames, and another dissolved into mist. I was scared,so I ran in here."

"Anything weird happen to you, yet? A headache, maybe?"

Envie shook her head. "No, sir."

"Then get outside and stand with the other kids." He ordered.

"Yes, sir." She hurried outside and looked around. She found the truck she'd been forced into.

"Envie!" A loud whisper hissed at her. Envie whirled to find the girl she'd run into outside of the auditorium; Arista was her name. Better known as Arie.

"Arie? Are you okay?" Envie hurried over to the girl and crouched next to her.

Arista nodded. "We need to get Andrew and some others out of that truck over therer."

"Yeah, I know. I just got out of there myself."

"What? How?" Arie looked confused.

"Later. Listen, is anything weird going on with you?"

"Like what?"

"You know what! You don't burst into flames, do you?"

"No, but I can move stuff with my mind." Arie said, a little excited.

"That's good! Listen, I want you to do me a favor. First I need to try and teleport with you."

"Do what with me?!"

"Like I said: Later. If I can do it, I'm going to get the others out and you'll need to give us a good distraction. But don't give yourself away." Envie thougt for a moment. "You know how to drive one of those trucks with that brain of yours?"
Llama 1:"Shh! Do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness."
Llama 2:"That's the sound of people drowning, Carl!"
Llama 1:"That is what forgiveness sounds like; screaming and then silence."

**Starlet**

A gasp came from everybody's lips, but mine and Andrew's when Envie 'poofed'.
"I hope she's going to be okay," I whispered, staring at my hands," I should go anyway," I stood up, my head banged on the ceiling, forcing me back down.
"Oh, Star, don't be stupid," Andrew whispered, giving the Calvin guy a weird look," Envie said she'll be back."
"But what if she gets captured," DJ said, stealing the words out of my mouth.
"She won't," Andrew whispered," She's smarter than that."
"Okay, Andrew, if you say," a bald girl was thrown into the truck, she looked terrified," What the-"
"Hell!" I rolled my eyes, that DJ kid needed to stop stealing my words, it was getting annoying.

Arsta "Arie"

"Yes I guess I can" She said, It couldn't be that hard.She had driven before.

"Ok, I need you to do it" Envie said very determined. "And I'll try and teleport you"

She was about to ask, when Envie interrupted.

"Later!!" She screamed. "Let's get moving"

Star and I waited anxously. Suddenly I snapped my head up. "I got an idea!"

Star looked at me hopefully. "What?"

"You and I BOTH can melt the sides of the truck. Any soilders come to grab us, I blast him, you suck him...his life out of him I mean."

Melissa

I chaffed my arm, the shot was really painful. Suddenly people were going crazy. I started running down the hall, sorta scared after seeing a boy turn inot mist. Outside didn't look like a good idea. Some of the nurses screamed after me. Out of nowhere some men started running after me. Thank God I was the fastest on the track team. Each impact of my feet on the floor sent a mixture of heat and cold. My body started getting hot and cold flashes, my vision started seeing mixed vibrant colors. I could hear my heart beating slower as I stumbled. My head hit the ground. I noticed that my vision looked that of a snake, the men stooped over me, but all I could feel was the heat. The marble floor had an aruora of coldness that waved through me, suddenly the the ground started boiling as the men color drained, from red to blue. My eyelids closed but my mind fully awake. They somehow managed to pick me up. They caried me outside ,their pudgy fingers cold as ice. I was thrown into a metal compartment. All I was thinking was that I was going to kill them for touching me. My eyelids flickered. Many people I knew were inside. the men closed the door behind me.

Sorry if this is to long. oh yeah Envie is already outside.
I follow four rules when writing
1. Don't think. Just write.
2.Never take the pencil from the page when writing
3.Don't erase. Even if what you wrote didn't make sense
4.No need for grammar,punctuation, or spelling when writing

And when your done writing you stop and break all the rules

**I'll see what I can do with Phelix...**

As Envie looked around, she dashed back into the foyer, dragging Arie with her. As she turned the corner to head to the janitor's closet, she ran smack into a guy. What was with all the head on collisions, today? She thought as she looked up at the dude.

It was Phelix Stark. "Phelix! What are you doing?" Envie asked, grabbing his wrist and dashing for the closet. She closed the door behind them just as a group of soldiers came through the main doors.

"Do you guys have any idea what's going on?" Phelix asked.

"No time to explain now. You need to get upstairs without getting caught. Did you get the vaccine?" Envie asked and Phelix nodded. "Anything weird happening to you, yet?"

"Yeah." Phelix asked.

"You definitely need to get upstairs, then. Hide out in a room and don't let those Uniforms catch you."

"What are you two going to do?" He asked looking at her and Arie.

"We're going to ge some people out of some deep trouble. Get upstairs!" Envie turned to Arie.

"No, I'm going with you guys." Phelix said, grabbing Envie's wrist.

She looked down at his hand and pulled out of his grasp. She pinched the bridge of her nose and scrunched her eyes. "Jeez, I don't think I can teleport two people. What can you do? With your powers, I mean."
