“Not a chance I’m leaving you here. You can bust me out once you’re safe.” He whispered to her, “Were almost there. Get ready to run.”

Eli watched the man fiddle with the gadget, and he put on an exhausting burst of speed, getting just close enough as he pressed the button. Instantly, he felt the effects. His speed was replaced with blinding numb pain, radiating from the cuffs. It made him stumble and collapse, dropping Farah from his arms and slamming with his excess speed right into the man. He cried out in pain at the feeling coursing through him, and even in pain he searched for his sister, hoping she had listened.

Farah debated over and over again in her mind if she should bring Eli with her or just escape alone. She still had her cuffs on too, and who knew what the man had plans for? "Fine," she hissed back, "but you keep your ass safe in the meantime, you hear m–"

She gasped as Eli came to a sudden halt and collapsed into the man. She fell from his arms and hit the floor harder than she expected to. When she scrambled to her feet, she had a brush burn on her cheek that she had no idea where it came from during the fall, but it hurt like hell.

The sound of her brother crying out in pain spurred her forward, and she located the doors just in front of her. Farah instantly headed toward them as fast as she could, but just before she got there, someone else slammed into her from behind, tackling her to the floor. It was another woman, and she had Farah's arms pinned behind her back in a few seconds despite Farah's writhing and lashing out.

"Let me go!" Farah snarled.

"Not a chance," the woman shot back, tying Farah's wrists together tightly with a ziptie.

Eli couldn't move, and he could only gasp from the paralyzing pain he felt. His eyes darted towards the door, and thought he couldn't show it, his hope collapsed when he saw Farah being taken out by a guard.

The man he had ran into stumbled back with the weight of Eli falling onto him, falling over as well but quickly shoving him off before getting to his own feet. "Such a shame…I thought you would've tried to escape in a much more exciting way than just going out the front door," The man said, brushing himself off and nudging Eli's limp body with the toe of his boot, "Oh well. You won't get a second chance. Once the cuffs wear off I'll have a…celebration…arranged, for your wonderful shot at trying to leave."

Eli felt two guards approach him and haul him to his feet, even though his legs wouldn't support any of his weight. He hung between the two of them as they drug him back away from the doors, barely able to see Farah as he was drug away.

Farah writhed and struggled under the other female. "Let me go!" she demanded, tugging in a vain attempt to free her wrists from the bond.

"Like hell, I will," the other girl shot back, rising to her feet and yanking Farah up with her by her collar. "Come on," she snapped, pulling Farah off towards the way she and Eli had come from.

Once it was clear that fighting was futile, Farah willingly cooperated. She couldn't risk getting separated from Eli, even though the chance of it happening now was tremendously high.

"Back where they were," the man's chilling voice ordered. "In their cells. And make sure they eat. We can't have starving lab rats."

"You're going to regret coming near us," Farah snarled over her shoulder, letting her anger get the best of her.

A dangerous glint passed through the man's eyes. "I'm sure I will, Farah."

@gracehustle

Eli didn't remember much of the trip back to the cells, though he was well aware of the lack of respect the guards treated him with as they drug him along. The stairs were the worst, but seeing as he couldn't do anything thanks to his cuffs, there was no way for him to complain. All he could do was mentally apologize to Farah for not getting to the door fast enough, not doing anything to help her escape.

The guards set him on the cold concrete of his cell floor and faintly he heard the lock of the cell click shut behind him. He hoped Farah would be brought back to the cell next to him, but with the stunt they had pulled, it didn't seem likely. Still, he listened for any sign of her footsteps, waiting for the chance to move again.

To Farah's shock – and she guessed Eli's as well – the woman that was handling her tossed Farah back into the same cell she'd been in before. However, with her wrists tied, Farah was unable to catch herself as she fell, and she hissed as her hip painfully stuck the concrete floor.

"Shit," she moaned, wincing at the pain and the bruise it would surely make.

The woman entered the cell behind Farah and haphazardly cut her zip tie off. "Try anything, and I'll paralyze you. I have a remote too."

Farah was silent at that, but she was sure the woman's blade had nicked her skin, and she was bleeding.

(Sorry for the curse, if you're not okay with it, I can change it)

@gracehustle

(I'm fine with cursing lol, doesn't bother me at all)

Eli wished he could speak to Farah, but at least the sound of her footsteps and voice were enough to sooth the rampant thoughts. Yes, they were back in the same cells that they had started in, but at least Farah hadn't been taken away. It was more unlikely that they would have a chance to try again, but they were together.

Fighting to move against the paralyzing effect of the cuffs, Eli got nowhere. Even trying to do something as simple as speak to his sister, or move his hands was useless. Whatever the man had done to make their cuffs, they worked well. If he got out of this building, he would personally show the man how it felt to wear them and feel their effects.

(Kk! I know some people don't like it, and I was just making sure. Also, sorry I've been MIA recently, my life has been a literal shitshow for like 3 months, and I'm just now getting back to mostly normal.)

Farah glared at the woman until she had shut the cell door and made her way back up the stairs in the direction they'd come down from. Once she was gone, Farah finally relaxed and pushed herself up. She checked her wrist, and sure enough, a little cut was already beginning to bleed down her forearm.

"Lovely," she muttered, but she paced quickly over to the wall and pressed her palm to the cold surface. "Eli, I'm here," she said quietly. "I'll figure something out for us, I promise. The effect will wear off soon. You'll be okay."

@gracehustle

(You're all good, no worries. I'm glad things are getting back to normal! Also, do you want to do a timeskip at all to when Eli is able to move around? I'm not sure what to have him do until then lol)

@emilyevewrites group

(Um… hey lol. I'm back! Yeah, we can timeskip a bit. I'll steal Farah away for her first round of testing, and then Eli can follow… O.o)

Farah had dozed off into a light sleep for the first time in what felt like days when the woman who had stopped her escape returned. She took her time working the key in the lock for Farah's cell, then swung it open with a loud clang that woke the poor girl with a jolt.

"Let's go," the light-haired woman snapped, waiting strictly in the opening.

Farah clutched her head and slowly stood up, still groggy from sleep. "And where exactly are we going?"

The woman smirked. "Your first test."

(Bump! :))

@gracehustle

Eli had settled into a restless sleep, curled on his bed with his arms wrapped around himself. Still, it wasn't long before a clang from his sister's cell opened and his eyes flew awake, the sound enough to make him vault from his bed to see what was happening. "Farah? What's going on?" He questioned, trying to peer around the wall to see her. Unfortunately he couldn't see a thing.

Still, his eyes widened when he heard a different voice mention testing and a ball of worry sunk into his stomach. Before long, there was a similar person standing at the door to his cell, opening the door with a matching clang. Even though he tried to stay in his cell, the man at the opening wouldn't let him, forcing him out with the help of some guards and soon leading him down a hallway to who knew where.

Farah jerked her head at the sound of her brother's voice. "Eli?!" she cried, wrenching against the guard's grip, but the other woman held fast and kept Farah restrained. "Eli!" she called again, desperate to hear something in response. By the time she realized she was being taken through a complete maze, it was too late to try and memorize the turns. She cursed herself in her head. She needed to be paying more attention.

Eventually, they arrived at the end of a hallway that appeared to go no further. "What is this?" Farah snapped.

"Didn't I already tell you?" the woman replied bluntly. "Your first test."

Without warning, Farah's bindings were released, and the woman shoved her into a doorway that Farah had just then noticed. She stumbled through the threshold, and a metal door slid into place behind her, barring her path back and forcing her to look ahead. The room before her was separated by a glass wall in the middle. She was on one side, alone. On the other side, there was a group of men holding clipboards, sitting behind computers, and murmuring to each other.

Suddenly, a voice spoke from some unknown speaker above her, causing Farah to jump.

"Please step forward, Miss Dowling."

Farah steeled herself and did as it said. She had no idea what to expect.
