The gate

We run through the hallway, but Tommy stops in front of a door. What's wrong I ask when I see him looking through the little window of the door. It's my sister, she's here, he answers confused. When we unlock the door, his sister jumps in Tommy's arms. I knew you would come and save me she answers. Where have you been? It's been two years. We even filled out a missing person report Tommy asks while keeping his sister in a tight hug. It's a very long story and those people that locked us up are not here to help us, trust me. They only use us for our powers and treat us like lab rabbits. We still don't know what their plan or intention is, she says. What powers? Tommy and I ask at the same moment. No time to explain. We have to run, because it won't be long before they catch up with us and that blood trail you left certainly won't make it any easier. It looks like a terribly deep wound, we have to tie it up or you will bleed to death, Tommy’s sister says. Quickly give me your t-shirt she orders Tommy. Then she ties the white T-shirt around my bleeding arm. This way they will no longer be able to track us down. Quickly open the other doors, so we can rescue the others she orders. We open all doors in the hallway and free thirty people. Then we run together to a large gate. At the gate we look for a way to open it. The gate only opens with a personalized eye scan. We try to force and break the device, but it’s no use. This is the hardest metal I have ever seen. In the distance we see guards rushing towards us. Oh no we’re trapped. What do we do now I ask. Can’t you guys use your powers or something, I ask desperate. No, our powers are suppressed by these foot straps, says a member of the group. I start to panic when we are surrounded by guards. We almost got out. When I look at the group we that we tried to save, I am definitely the youngest one. There is a man that looks like ninety years old. I start to get angry just thinking about it hurting or k********g an old man. Some people have bruises and tracks of dried blood all over their body. I don't want to know what they did to them, but one thing I know for sure is that it makes me angry and not just angry. It makes me furious. Suddenly I feel my body warming up. I feel sparks in my veins. The more I think about these people hurting other people, the angrier I get. A pain shoots to my head and I fall on the ground. My nails are scratching the wooden floor. Everything passes in slow motion. I try to take back the control over my body, but it doesn't work. I scream the air out of my lungs. The pain is excruciating. I feel like I'm about to explode. She can use her powers. How is that possible I hear some of the guards say. Her eyes are silver how is that possible? Who is she? I hear a guard say with fear in his voice. Get your power proof shields ready, the leader of the guards shouts. I hear a boy coming closer. He yells something at me and shakes me up. I see him in blurry and try to focus on what he's saying. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. My body is now so warm that I can feel drops of sweat on my forehead. The boy keeps shaking and screaming. I look into his dark blue eyes and hear him shout to focus my powers on the gate so they can escape. I stand back up with the help of the boy. In the meantime, all the other prisoners have laid down on the ground around me to protect themselves from the blow that is about to come. I do what the boy says and I focus myself on the gate. I can no longer hold back my powers and I explode. Electric rays shoot from my hand, so powerful that I myself am blown backwards. The guards fly back and the prisoners cling to each other. My foot strap breaks into pieces. When all my energy is finally released, I see a giant hole in the gate. All the prisoners can escape through the gate. At the moment we go through the gate, me, the boy, Tommy and his sister are stopped by the guards. They surrounded us with their guns. I try to use my powers again, but I feel very tired and I start to feel dizzy. I try to use my powers again, but I see everything blurred. My banded arm is hurting a lot and when I try to use my power for the third time I collapse. The boy with the dark blue eyes could just catch me before I hit the ground. Take the girl and bring the other ones to the cells I hear the leader of the guards say.
