Haven decided on a name yet

In the house there were only four people there when I got there. Everyone was just lounging around on their day off. My crew they were, we were all different but the same. We were all creations from eggs donated. We were the same.
     “Eh, Nyx how about some company?” Twilight asked me patting the seat next to him.
     “Go to hell.” I hissed at him angrily.
     All of the men in our crew were feral and horrible at concealing their feelings. There were only two girl in our crew, me and Rosemary, she was more lenient to the men. She never did anything with them, but she did let them get away with much more than I did.
     Soon there were fifteen people in the house with us. All eight of our crew and then seven guards, we were in Russia sitting out a fight that was not our to fight as the others dealt with the troubles, we were relaxing.
     “Nyx, you need to watch out more often. You’re the worst when it comes to temper, keep it calm, breath like we worked on.” Adrian, the most self knowing in our crew said rubbing my back gently. He was the only one I allowed to touch me most of the time. Adrian was always calm and never seen a need for violence.
     *Boom*
     I was clear across the room with Adrian on top of me covering me to protect me.
     “Everyone scatter!” The guards snapped at us as men in wet suits ran at all of us. They had to have come from the lake.
     I was up the stairs first going for the guns. We wouldn’t risk being seen as skin was needed here.
     “Go go go!” Raven growled plowing past me to the underground shelter.
     Everyone was supposed to head there incase of an attack like this, but I didn’t want to risk all of us getting caught.
     I counted everyone off and there was me and Twilight left out. I locked the door and made sure no one would get in.
     “Promise me you wont get killed babe?” He laughed charging the smoke filled house.
     My hand was holding the gun firmly as I slowly walked through the house. It was very quiet as I listened for any indication of life besides mine and Twilight’s.
     *fsssk*
     I swung the gun around and shot off two rounds into a guy.
     He fell to the ground gasping for breath as blood poured out of his chest and shoulder.
     “Don’t come next time.” I whispered to him snapping his neck gently.      
     “Lights out.”





















chapter 1

     My eyes had opened enough to see the inside of a van. There were about six men all around me and three women. They were all in wet suits with me in between them. I was dangerous and they were right to keep me this way.
     Silver infused ropes were tied around my ams and legs to keep me from shifting to anything.
     “She should be waking up in a few minutes then we are able to question her.” A soft voice said.
     “She will never talk, the other one didn’t and look what boss did to him. I don’t think anyone would, or could wake up from a blow like that. There is little chance he will be any easier on her.” A growling voice said almost sympathetically.
     Someone touched my eye and out of instinct I made sure to keep my breathing steady and stay as still as if I were asleep. They would never know the difference.
     “Wake them up were here!” A voice snapped.
     People were moving all around me as I faked a slumber.
     “Dog, pick up your friend. I want you both in the middle of my men. Got it? One mistake and we will kill her.” The man growled as I was picked up by a familiar set of arms.
     It’s going to be alright babe. Were going to get out of this like we always do. His spirit voice chanted to me.
     Don’t let them kill me Twilight, please. Don’t be stupid. I whispered back to him in my voice calmly.
     They can’t know about this we cannot give it away no matter how hard they pry, we must be discreet. If either of us give anything away we are both as good as dead to everyone. Keep our mouth shut will be the main thing. I will try and take the beatings as much as possible. They are celling us together.  He never took his eyes off of my still body, I could feel his hands stroking my side to let me know it was okay.
     Inside I opened my eyes and let him carry me as we walked swiftly to a secured torture room. Four walls, one door no windows and sound proof.
     “I want two chairs, full restraint for the male. I think we will take a few rounds with the female.” His laugh scared me more than I had ever been scared in my life. There was no way he would let his guard down enough to let me kill anyone.
     Twilight was strapped to a chair in a corner. His growls and fighting were useless against the pure silver injected into his veins. It would burn up quickly but then were pumping it through him like water.
     
     An hour had passed and we were all still quiet as fear crept into my ever corner.
     “Okay, Nyx, that’s your name I presume?” He asked calmly.
     I growled low.
     A slap hit my face, Twilight snarled and pulled on the straps.
     “Answer me filth.”
     “Screw you.” I snapped spiting in his face.
     A harder blow came to my face, one from a fist. He wasn’t going to let up the slightest as we went on through our interrogation.
     “If you will not respect me then you will be punished.” His fist hit my face again.
     “You are...screwed.” Twilight laughed darkly after they stopped hitting on him too.
     I was kicked in the stomach and beaten for hours after that. Twilight was made to sit and watch and sometimes was beaten too. Our injuries were shared because he would not break our connection, as long as we were connected through spirit we were connected psychically and that meant he felt ever prick on my skin.
     “Are you going to cooperate?” The man, his name was Blade, asked again.
     “Why, should, I?” I panted standing up wobbly.
     “Take them to holding, minimal food all the water they want. Keep an eye on them.” He barked to the people in the room.
     I fell to the ground as we walked to the cell. Twilight was made to carry me again because no matter how much pain we shared I still had the most damage. Every step he took pained my whole body to the point of screaming, but I would not allow them a pang of satisfaction. They would not be allowed to see that they did indeed cause me psychical pain.
     They could not break us no matter how hard they tried.
     Cell’s a funny name for a tiny room that kept you locked up. Our was very small, barely enough room to fit us both. One small metal cot in the corner, a toilet that didn’t flush. We were in a torture camp, they wanted us to feel alone and powerless, we were alone and powerless.
     “Come on stay awake until I can reset your arm.” He growled in his protective mode. Twilight got mad when people beat on us girls, no matter how strong we thought we were. He would kill Blade without changing if he could.
     “Just...Let...Me, sleep.” I panted as he pulled my arm setting the bone back in it’s proper position.
     “I want to sleep too.” He grumbled.
     My thoughts were smug but told him he could share the cot with me. This was a situation none of us would allow the other to be an animal and sleep on the ground, that was not the way we worked. It was not the way of out family.
     His body moved under mine because he was bigger than me. I felt his arms wrap around me protectively as I drifted to sleep. Our breathing was in sync by the time I fell into darkness.
     
     Three weeks maybe more passed and we were beaten ever day, huddled to stay warm every what seemed like night.
     I gave all my food to Twilight in hopes his strength would stay up enough for him to fight when we needed it. Enough for him to stay alive and tell our crew about what had happened and avenge whatever was to happen.
     “For the last time tonight, who is your creator? Why did he choose each of your eggs specifically? How did he choose?” Blade yelled at me holding a knife in front of my face. He had never gone to weapons to interrogate us, but his patience was minimal after three weeks.
     “She doesn’t know! None of us did, we were made to keep the secret, if he told anyone it would not have been us for this reason!” Twilight yelled at Blade fearing for my life. I didn’t care anymore.
     The door opened.
     My eyes were swollen shut and I could barely see a thing. The knife was pulled out from in front of my face and put into something.
     “Captain!” Blade said shakily.
     “Agent, you have been dismissed from this duty. You are on leave for now, you may go.” The man said firmly walking around the room.
     My head drooped, he was here to save us for now.
     Blade left the room angrily but did not say it though he smelled it.
     After the door was closed our ties were cut and we were set free to walk around the room, well, Twilight was. I couldn’t walk. Both my legs had been broken in the past week along with all my fingers and toes. My nose, arms, all my ribs, and my knee caps.
     “She can’t walk anymore.” Twilight hissed at the man as he approached me carefully.
     “I can see that, you both have silver burns. My people will take care of those, but you will have to cooperate with us if you want her to get the proper treatment for all of her injuries.” He was using me also to get to Twilight.
     I heard his mind race through the issues of helping me or giving away information we needed to keep secret.
     “Fuck off...We won’t help someone life...you.” I wheezed.
     A hand tilted my head up and I was being touched!
     “Hold him back, she has ingested Silver! We need to treat her now, or she is going to die Captain.” A woman said quickly picking me up as if I were a feather.
     “Don’t you dare touch her! Get your filthy hands off of her!” Twilight wheezed as I had. We had been poisoned in our food. The people here were trying to get everything they could out of us before we had died.
     “Give her a full dose of knockout, and a double of pain reliever we need for her to not feel as much pain. All her bones need to be rebroken and reset. Get her loaded and on a gurney then we will begin.” The woman said as a needle pierced my skin.

     The extent of her wounds were more than we thought anyone could withstand even someone of their kind. Blade had gone out of the laws and broken every single bone in her body. Torture was not allowed in any circumstance even like this. All life to us was valued and was supposed to be treated as if it were their own.
     The men that Ichabod hired were trained to feel that way about everyone, all but Blade. He was trained to break things, to make people spill their every secret and I assume he had gotten nothing out of these two with the damage to their bodies. Even his trainers taught him that there was a point at which to stop and step back, but they were broken.
     “Vega, do you think that she will recover enough to be questioned again?” Ichabod had asked me.
     “You are not suggesting that we allow Blade to get another round with this one do you?” I demanded staring down at her battered and beaten body.
     “Not Blade, but you.” He said looking at her too.
     We knew what the one she called Twilight was, but she was not the same. They were in Russia when we captured them. She was not Russian, but she was not any other nationality. Here genetics were special and seemed to have been modified to be her. She was made to be as pale as snow and have the darkest red hair and eyes. Her rank in her kind was high, and she was an Alpha Female.
     “Sir, with all respect, I am not able to question her. You know me, I am too easy. I don’t have the heart to inflict pain upon her or anyone.” I gasped knowing that my kindness was a gift and a curse.
     “I am not expecting you to hurt her. She is still young, her kind is only shown hurt and pain. If you could unlock traits in her that we never knew then there is a chance that we could find a way to tame them, have them on our side!” He wanted them as pets.
     “Sir, they are wild creatures at heart. Taming them will only make it so they are behind walls and then when they find the door they will make a break for it. There is only a matter of time before she see’s the plan you have. If she suspects me at all there is a chance that she will make a run for it at any cost.” Urging him was no use.
     “You will try.” It was final his words silenced me.
     After he left her vitals seemed to spike again. She was coming to, but could not be awake for a while.
     My mind rushed around the fact that her and Twilight were in my hands, I was to get vital information from them! I was the lowly of the low in my hell. If anyone needed and interrogation I was not the first pick.
     “GET HIM DOWN! HE’S COMING TO!” A nurse yelled from the other room. I bolted to the door and saw that Twilight was awake and alive, but if he was awake then Nyx was in danger of being moved.
     “Leave me alone! Where the hell is Nyx! Where is she!” He screamed.
     I walked over to him and calmly placed my hand on his face, they chose me for me. I needed to prove them wrong, that these creatures were bad and evil. My power was supposed to be good, not evil as they tried to use it. Sometimes I wondered why I was still here, but then these creatures reminded me.
     “Calm.” I whispered using a lot of energy to calm him down. His eyes softened and he looked calm and happy. “I will take you to her, but you cannot move her. Do you understand me?” I asked in a demanding voice.
