~ Drained ~ discussion

This is where Government officials, scientists, guards and others working in the gifted prison can take a break when they aren't needed. There is a large television on the wall where they can watch what is happening in all parts of the prison, a mini bar in the corner and several lounge chairs. Only they workers know where it is because it is hidden.

Vera closed her pleading sea green eyes and took a deep breath, letting out a sigh as she exhaled. The emotion cleared from her face as she let out the air, draining from her and being stored somewhere deep inside her. If she continued to shove her emotions down, one day she would just explode. She cracked her fingers, her hands loosing feeling from being kept in the chains. She was currently chained to the wall by silver chains, modified so that if she struggled the chains around her wrist grew smaller. She was standing limply on a lighted platform, the bright white light shining into her eyes. She shoved back her messy black hair, looking at the workers in the room who were milling around sipping cocktails and chatting with each other. Oh the words she wanted to scream right in their faces.

Locus walked in, took a seet, he was next to Vera.

Vera looked down at the boy sitting below her. She slumped her shoulders, the chains front the wall holding her up like a limp rag doll. She stared at the many drinks around her, her throat scorched and dry.

Locus looked at her, taking a glass of water and put a straw in side, and putting it to the hight of her when one was looking "thirsty? " he asked

Vera grunted and turned her head away, a wave of black hair following her. " Im not falling for your stupid trick." She said, her eyes not daring a glance at the glass of water, with the beads of condensation running down it. Dont think about it vera, she told herself, trying to clear her mind.

"fine, I was just trying to help" he muttered. Looking at the floor

Vera was so thirsty it became too much. She snatched the tall glass of water and brought it to her lips, the thought of it containing some kind of poison pausing her. But then she shrugged. "I've been through a ton load of cap how could this be any worse?" She said to herself and quickly drank the glass till it was empty, sighing happily and running her tongue over her lips after she had finished. "Thank you" She said as she sighed happily.

"no problem " he said. " so whats your name, mine is locus, "

"Im Vera." She said and handed the glass back to him, for she could not reach the ground below her due to the heavy chains.

"its nice to meet you," he said while the people left the room. " so why are you in here exactly? "

"Reasons." She said and shrugged, wondering if she should divulge the information to the stranger. She pondered the pros and cons, thinking over the situation. Suddenly tiny white sparks seemed to run up the twisting tattooed wires snaking up her arms, all of them flowing through them towards the chip on the back of her neck. "Dammit..." She said before her eyes closed and reopened, the look in them seemingly different than before. "Im here because im better than the others in there. I deserve better. Im am the biggest success this prison has ever had." She said and leaned back against the wall. crossing her arms and crossing her legs. The real Vera tried to choke back the words but they spilled from her mouth, Vera no longer having any control over her actions or words.

"oh your the,... One with the chip, " he said.

"Ding ding ding." She said and let out a mocking laugh, sharp and high pitched. Suddenly her deep sea green eyes rolled back and she hung limp from the chains. Then she sturred, eyes flicking open, and stood back up. She rubbed her temples and groaned. "Ughhhh.... sorry 'bout that."

"its okay, I never really liked the chip, I never even had feelings till I got them from you guys sorry by the way " he was a good lier and can make lies up smoothly and can trick a lot of people for his sake of course.

"Nah your no different than the rest of the millions of soulless citizens who steal from us. Whats one more gonna do?" She said with fake enthusiasm lacing her voice. "And yea Im not a real big fan of the chip either." She said and sighed.

"i would tell you, but I'm afraid if other people can hear what we are talking about " he said.

Vera rolled her eyes and sighed. "I could care less right now. There aint anything worse they could do to me." She laughed humorously. "So no more about me how 'bout you? what horrible torturous job do you have here at this lovely establishment?"

"I'm just a guard, and i care less about hurting here, I rather stupid prison didn't exist, they did take my sister, and killed my parents." he said sighing

" Wow. then why one earth are you still here?" She asked, arching her dark eyebrow in question.

"i wanna meet my sister, they took her away when I was four, she's older then me she was tocken away when she was 6, im 15, she's 17." he sighed, " i dont know we're my oldest sister is, we all ran away, our parents died and she was tooken so that's it, I don't even know what they look like."

"How long have you been here?" She asked, wondering if maybe she had met one of his sisters when she was stationed here.

"3 and a half years, I was the guard to make sure no one get out, and was i got advanced so far two months so far." he said

"hmm." She said, thinking. "Do you remember their names?" She asked, hatching a plan.

((Oh new topic Idea!))

"there on my nuckles aren't they" he said showing the names kelly and september, "September is the oldest and isn't here, Kelly is but never meet her, I only remember there names, Kelly is also older like I said before" he said sighing "there my only family and I don't even know them."

"How about we make a deal?" She said and grinned, leaning down as much as possible so she could whisper in his ear. "You take this chip out and I'll help you find your sisters."

He thought how will he take it. Out. But then got an idea, "deal" he said " i just need the right thing, " he said leaving the room.

Vera raised her eyebrow, her signature look, and wait, staying perched at the end of the lit platform.

Suddenly guards peeled away from the walls and swooped in, surrounding vera in a human bubble. The roughly unchained her, leaving her wrist raw and bleeding. They held her limply in their bulky arms, dragging her off the platform and onto the ground. "I can walk." SHe said but they ignored her. Before she left she mouthed to lucis. later

He nodded and disappeared.
