Over The Edge

~El's POV~


Mike dragged me through the forest by the arm. I wish he would've just held my hand. I wasn't quite sure what he was doing, and where we were going. It seemed very important to him that we hurried. He wouldn't tell me why we were in a rush though.


Finally, we came to an all too familiar place.


The quarry.


"Mike, what are we doing here?" I asked.


"Eleven, I told you, no questions," he said sternly.


He tried to lead me forward once again, but I refused to move. His grip tightening on my arm.


"Mike, stop, you're hurting me," I said, trying to pull away from him.


For a second, his face softened and his tight loosened. I looked into his green eyes. Wait. His green eyes?!??!!? He had brown eyes, not green. I watched the color flicker from green to brown, and then back to green.


Something was definitely wrong.


"Mike, your eyes-" I started, but I was abruptly cut off.


Out of the forest came a girl. She was a little older than us, probably Nancy's age. She had strawberry blonde hair and pale skin. The most noticeable thing was her green eyes.


She had blood dripping down from her nose.


Mike suddenly, turned from me, and walked toward her, standing at her side.


"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?!?!" I shrieked, trying to run toward her, but a force stopped me.


She wiped more blood from her nose.


On her forearm, the numbers 007 were written.


She had powers, just like me. But hers were slightly different. The problem was, I wasn't entirely sure of what she was capable of.


"Mike! MIKE!"I yelled.


"He can't hear you," she said.


Finally, I was able to break free and run toward Mike.


"Mike, oh please, say something! Anything!"I cried, placing my hands on his shoulders.


His eyes flickered green, and so did Seven's eyes.


"Eleven, I need you to come with me," Seven said.


"No! I would never go with you! Sisters are supposed to help each other, not attack each other!" I yelled.


"Well, if that's how you want it to be," She said, innocently.


Then, she turned toward Mike.


"Mike, go," she said.


I watched as he did as she commanded him, and walked toward the edge of the cliff.


"No! NO! What are you doing??!!?" I screamed at her.


"I will give you to the count of three Eleven. If you refuse to come with me, your little boyfriend will be sent over the edge, and you won't be able to save him this time. My mind control powers won't let you," She told me.


I stood there, terrified. Mike's life was in danger, and there was nothing I could do about it.


"One," she said.


Mike inched his way closer to the edge.


"Two," Seven said.


Mike's feet were so close to the edge now.


"and-"


"WAIT!" I yelled.


"Well?" Seven asked.


"I'll go with you, but please, release Mike from your mind control," I said, hanging my head in defeat.


"Very well then," She said.


She grabbed me by the arm and ran into the woods. I had no idea where she was taking me. 


As we left, I saw Mike, just standing there.


Hopefully, he would be ok.
