New friend, yay and i'm captured

1 week ago (still)

Okay you should know how weird it is to suddenly wake up with a pain in your head, with a sore body to match.
Well like I said I woke up suddenly, my head screaming with pain, my body yelling along.
“Owe, where the hell am . . . ahhhh!” I said as a pair of shining silver eyes in the shadows suddenly appeared. I was in a dank cage, no more like a prison cell, and across from me in the shadowy corner stared a pair of shining eyes back at me. I backed up against the cold wall behind me, wanting to get as far away from the eyes as humanly possible.
“Who, or what are you?” I gathered up all the courage left in me, not wanting to sound scared while facing a potential threat. The eyes moved up, about the same height I would have been if I was standing in the shadowy corner, I focused on the eyes.
“Who are you calling a what?!” Came a girls voice from the shadows, she had an accent, I think it was British. She stepped out of the shadows so that I could see she wasn’t a what. She had a torn blood stained dress on, with little ballerina slippers. I stood there staring at her and thinking, wow I was afraid of her, I must have been hit real hard.
“I can be pretty scary if I want to, I’ll have you know, I’m a lot to be afraid of!” She raised her voice, angry as if she heard what I was thinking about.
“Who are you, you didn’t answer me!” I yelled back at her, trying my best to sound tough.
“I’m Geraldine Prince I’ll have you know. . .” She answered and did a curtsy “. . . and who are you, if I may be so bold as to ask?”
“Am, well I’m Lex Rush.” I said kinda startled she answered me so easily, and did a freaking curtsy to boot, who is she?
“To answer your question, I’m an avian hybrid experiment from England, I came here to find Maximum Ride.” I stared at her blankly. She rolled her eyes and came towards me, before I could react she had my hand in hers, she patted it and dragged me to sit next to her on the ground. As soon as she let go of my hand I ripped it away out of reach.
“I can read your mind, one of my powers.” Her eyes glowed silver and she smiled. “Don’t worry, I see we’re going to be great friends!”
“So, what, you can see into the future too?” I asked, making a joke more than actually wanting an answer.
“Jip, among others!” She said giving a little giggle, she looked about my age, she had long black hair in a ponytail, she had fair skin and when her eyes weren’t a strange silver they looked brownish.
“So where are we?” I tried to move the conversation back to something normal.
“I think a school near Seattle or someplace like that.” She answered, she cocked her head to the side as if trying to listen to something, her eyes went silver again, then came a rugged mans voice, I instantly knew it was an Eraser, they all had a certain edge to their voices.
“Stop babbling in there, you’re giving me a head ace!”
I opened my mouth to say something witty but the girl, Geraldine, put her hand in front of my mouth, maybe someone should tell her I have issues with people who try to shut me up.
‘Shhh, he has a teaser stick, if you say something he’ll teaser you.’ her voice came into my head, without her lips moving, probably one of her powers.
Hope this works ‘am, how did you know?’ I thought to her, forgetting momentarily that if she can read my mind an Eraser’s should be easy too. She smiled at me, her eyes glowing silver, she removed her hand.
‘How are we going to get out of here?’ I mouthed the words, thinking them in my head as well.
‘I have no idea, I was hoping you could think of something.’ She smiled sheepishly, like before, her voice popped into my head. I put on my stubborn thinking face, my back, and wings, pressing against the cool wall, Zan and the others probably don’t even know I’m here, what can I do, this girls looking to me for answers.
‘Is Zan your brother? I saw you have a brother, sorry for eavesdropping your thoughts like that.’ Geraldine’s voice came into my head again, I gave her a face, she smiled a sorry smile and I thought.
‘No Zan’s the guy who freed me and my brother Jay in the first place, I’m sorta part of his flock now.’
‘I can maybe send your brother a telepathic massage or something, it’ed be hard but we can try.’ She answered me, her glowing silver eyes sincere.
‘Am okay we could try, what should we do, draw a circle on the ground or something?’ What I don’t know how these things work.
‘No it’s not witch craft you know, just give me your hand and think about him.’ Reluctantly I gave her my hand and thought about my brother, man if he jumped when he woke up in a guys arms then he’s going to freak hearing a British girl’s voice in his head, he he, I got a smile on my face from the thought.
‘Focus!’ Geraldine cautioned me. I closed my eyes and thought about Jay, his caring blue eyes, his stubbornness about being protective over me even when I’m clearly more of a fighter than he is, his wish to find our mother, his caring and understanding nature, the way he says the right thing by sometimes not even talking (I know that sounds weird but it’s true.) and actually everything I can remember about him, everything floated to the surface.
Suddenly it was like he was sitting right in front of me, in a cave with Em on his lap and Lily was there too, comforting Marcus, Zan was pacing the cave floor, wait that’s not a memory.
“Geraldine what’s happening now?” I asked in a whisper, Jay looked up towards were I should be if I was actually there, as if he heard me, then he shook his head and looked back at the cave floor.
“I, I don’t know myself, this never happened before when I contacted people.” Geraldine answered, it was like she wasn’t there, but I could still hear her and feel her hands on mine.
‘Try talking to him, it seems he can hear you, must be the strong bond of being a twin or something.’ Geraldine encouraged me.
“Jay, can you hear me, please hear me!” I said out loud, Jay looked up again then around the cave and answered.
“Lex, is that you, where are you?!” The others looked at Jay and stopped what they were doing. “Can you guys hear her?” They shook their heads.
“Jay yes it’s me, Lex, I’m not there actually, I’m in a prison like room in a school near Seattle or something, this girl with her mental powers ma- . . . okay wait it’s hard to explain.” I momentarily confused myself, Jay also had a confused expression on.
“Wait how did you get there, and why can only I hear you?” Jay’s eyes still searched the cave, the others were now looking around too.
“Mental twin thing, the girl can’t explain it to me too, anyway are you going to stay in that cave or come and rescue us!” I was starting to get frustrated, and I think my concentration started to weaken ‘cause the image started to blur.
“How do - . . . you know tell me about it when we find you!” That was all I needed to hear, suddenly I was back in the prison cell.
Geraldine looked at me her face that of a kid expecting a story.
“What, didn’t you read my mind or something, or is there something on my face?” I asked her, starting to feel awkward.
“No, for some reason I couldn’t, now spill, are they coming?” She sounded like, you know on those TV shows about girls in high school, like the best friend girl who wants to hear all ‘bout your date, (What? Every time I got time with a TV in the lab I sorta watched those things) she sounded like one of those.
“He said they’re coming!” I practically squealed
“Didn’t I say ‘SHUT UP’ freaks!” The erasers voice came from the other room, he sounded really irritated.
Geraldine smiled at me, I guess I just made my first ever ‘gal pal’, haha I think those shows rubbed of a little.
