"he's dead because you killed him" she said seriously. "I believe that's enough Dr. Thompson" a man said entering the room I was in "Uncle Dave" I said as my hand fell to my side "hello Arianna" he said "come here" he said holding his hand out to me.
I hesitated, "no" I said looking him in the eyes "I SAID COME HERE" he said in this loud overbearing voice. suddenly my feet started moving on their own. I no longer had control of my own body. "good child" he said once I stood in front of him. "We'll make much use of you" he said with a smile.
that was the last day I had control over my own body. it became like a mental prison. The more commands my uncle gave me the more I lost control. the next 5 years felt like an eternity. 2 years after the beginning a faction began, the military called it the Unnatural Faction, a group of Unnaturals who formed an underground railroad of sorts, to keep themselves safe from capture and as a way to fight.
and me for 5 years I was under the control of my uncle. hunting for him, fighting for him, and killing for him until one day everything changed. the day I was sent to hunt down the Unnatural Faction.
"bring back as many alive as you can" my voice yelled out of my own control as we began an attack. "Ari" I heard from behind me. my body turned around "maria it's been so long" I said with a smile "this isn't you" she said taking a step closer to me "isn't it" I said with a smile as my eyes glowed and a light breeze blew around me.
"Your the Powerful Unnatural they have under their control" Maria said sadly "5 years ago my uncle showed me my true potential" the words came out of my mouth "he can do the same for you Maria" I continued "so as an old friend I'm giving you one chance... join us or die" I said seriously "I'm gonna save you" she said "I don't need saving" I replied "everyone needs saving sometimes" she replied "fine you left me no other choice" I said as wind began to blow around me.
suddenly fire came from her hand "a pyrokinetic how interesting" the words came out of my mouth so I had no will for them I just wanted to stop. after a moment the fireball in her hand became like a whip "here's a fun fact about fire" I said "it also needs oxygen to breathe"I said with a smile as I took my hand and began to suck the oxygen out of her lungs.
she took her hands and began to scratch at her throat as she fell to her knees, almost as if attempting to get air. "now" she barely managed to say when suddenly a second later I felt a sharp pain in my neck "ah" I said I reach for what it was just to pull out a tiny dart.
my head soon became light and I lost my balance causing me to fall to the ground "Are you alright Maria" a someone said running to her "I'm fine" she said standing up "how long will she be out for?" I heard her ask as she walked over to me and my mind began to get blurry "a few hours long enough to get her back there" the unfamiliar voice replied "don't worry Ari we'll fix you" she said kneeling down as my eyes finally shut and darkness over took my mind.
when I woke up I had no clue where I was or how long I'd been out. I was tied to a bed and wearing what I assumed to me a power dampening collar which was created 2 years ago to help in the capture of Unnaturals.
"but you can help her right I mean you've brought other people out of his mind control before" I heard Maria's voice say from outside the door "those people weren't being controlled for as long as her. 5 years of constant reinforcement in his control, who knows if there's even any part of her left to save" a familiar male voice said ~who's was it~ "we have to try I know there's still a part of her left we just have to find it" Maria said. "alright" the man replied.
after a minute the door opened and two people walked in. The first was Maria, with her long black hair and tan skin she hadn't changed a bit in all these years at least not in looks. and the second was my father, I couldn't believe it all this time I thought I killed him and here he was right in front of me.
"hey baby girl" he said taking a step closer to me "it's me your dad" he continued "I know there's a part of you that isn't controlled by him so please say something" he said in a pleading voice. "my father died 5 years ago" my mouth spat out. "no... no you can see I'm right here" he said grabbing my hand. "MY FATHER IS DEAD I KILLED HIM" I yelled pulling away from him. he took a step back and covered his face.
"it's worse then I thought" he said turning around "we need Thomas" he said turning back to face Maria "are you insane" she said sounding slightly shocked "it's the fastest way" he snapped. "send Thomas over" he said through some sort of intercom "I lost my daughter for 5 years I'll be dammed if I let her stay like this for another minute" he said once more. "IM HERE" and man yelled busting through the door sounding out of breath.
"that was fast" Maria said "ever since I heard who she was I've been on standby" the man I assumed to be Thomas said standing up straight and closing the door. "we need your power" my father said and he nodded then walked over to me "with how deep his control is in her I'll have to go pretty deep, it'll take a while" he said "just be gentle" Maria said "as much as I can be" he said turning his head to her.
"this may hurt a little" he said as he put his hand on my forehead.
I was 12 years old when it started. We didn't even realize what was happening at first. Everyone just started getting sick, there wasn't a name for what was happening, at least not at the time. The symptoms of the sickness were as follows.
°Fever
°vomiting
°coughing
And
°Death
A very painful agonizing death not long after hundreds of thousands of people died scientists and doctors noticed people beginning to survive after a month of the sickness killing everyone it infected
Those who got the sickness and survived were forever changed, they got some sort of strange supernatural abilities, like super heros almost. That was when we started calling it The Beginning. Of what we did not know but it was nothing good
