MYSTICS (Book one of the Mystic series)

Chapter Banshee(Part 3)



They still hadn't realised that the straps holding me down were loose enough for me to pull my arm out. I waited for them to stop staring at me then pulled my arm out and punched on of the guys pushing my bed in the back of the head. He crumpled to the floor. I shoved my hand back in the restraint just as the other guy turned around and saw him on the floor. He bent down to see if he was ok and I pulled myself out of the restraints and grabbed this oxygen canister and dropped it on his head. I didn't even look to see if he was alive. I just kept running back to my room and the door required a pin. I only had one idea of what it could be.7247. The age that a mystic gets its powers. The door as open and there were Josh and Sammy staring back at me in delight. Making sure to stay quiet I signalled for them to follow me. They crept out of the cell and together we bounded down the hall.

Every time we saw one of those guards we changed direction. I was getting really exhausted from running and desperately looked for somewhere to rest but then someone shouted: " Subject 645 and the banshee twins have escaped."

I just had to keep running. Looking back I saw josh and Sammy still at my heel. Josh then said, "I know where we are. Follow me."

We did just as he suggested and followed him to a door. It had another keypad. I tried 7247 but it didn't work. I could hear people running around hunting for us. A lady ran up to us and opened the door. She just told us to run.

We complied with no hesitation and raced from the door. She locked the door and followed us. We ran as fast as our legs could carry us. We could hear several people chasing after us. I couldn't quite see where they were as it was pitch black. I could, however, hear them loading their guns. I tried to arm myself but I didn't have the strength. The Banshee twins pushed me behind them.

We stood there in silence anticipating a ferocious battle. One woman heavily armoured took a step into the light. She had a canon of some sort.

Josh and Sammy looked at one another then at me and the lady who helped us. I covered my ears and one of them began to scream. Their scream was so high pitched it could have melted your insides. I crushed my ears hoping to keep the noise out. It was torture. I opened my eyes and saw them as one person. Joshes body but Sammy's screams. They turned to face me still screaming and as they did the scream only got more deafening. The pain was too much.

I fell to the ground. I could see the other lady had already passed out. That was the last thing I saw before everything went dark. Only the sounds of the banshee remained.
