Captured and Hungry -1

My stomach grumbled. The man looked at me then at his partner. He nodded his head to the doorway. As the door closed we both just sat there in silence. I thought I had enough strength to break the rope and I was correct. With a quick snap, the rope fell to the ground and I flexed my wrists.

The man didn't do anything except stare. It was like he was looking into my soul each time his eyes met mine. The guy seriously freaked me out. "Er... so how was your day?" I asked trying to cut the tension. The man inhaled and let out a small breath. "Interesting at the very least." The man said.

The man had a feeling the kid wasn't any stronger than him, or maybe the kid was just that good at concealing his strength. He shook his head slightly. No, if he was a top tier than that meant he was a prodigy. There was no other explanation, except that he may be an original. But that, in itself, was highly implausible. The originals had all gone into hiding. Whoever this kid was, he was quite special and this had to be kept classified, or UGG might buy him from our custody.

The door opened and the woman carried a tray of food in behind her. She shut the door and walked over to the kid.

Who exactly was this kid? He was being held captive and he ordered us to get food and we complied. Something was telling her that this situation was completely bogus, but she never opened her mouth to voice her opinion.

As soon as he saw the food his stomach growled in response. When the tray hit his lap he immediately began digging in. This food was so much better than what he had ever eaten in his life. Well, except for that one time he went to a wedding with his mother and father. That food was good. But even that didn't compare to this. This was the Aries Academy alright.

After I'd demolished the food in front of me I looked around. Those two were just staring at me. 'Hey, system. Can I activate skills within my mind so I don't have to say them?' I thought to the system.

<Yes>

Nice, now I could get out of here. I didn't think I'd be able too, especially with those two. But now I thought I had a chance. My chances of escape were slim, however. 'Dash'

I dashed to the door, realizing halfway through that it required an id to get through. 'Bone Break Punch'

I targeted the doors locking mechanism and punched a hole through it. The door broke my hand. The pain wasn't bad, and my regeneration would take care of it. Regeneration used the energy in my cells to repair. Since I just ate this wouldn't be much of an issue. Later on though, if I used it too much I would be in serious trouble.

My hand snapped back into place as I made my way out the door. I didn't have much time. As I looked around in the hallway I decided which direction to take. Right as I turned I felt a knee in my back and I was pinned to the ground. "Well shit," I say.

"You are pretty fast." The woman said. "However, you are not trained. Even a toddler could tell from the way you recklessly broke your hand on the door." She said.

The woman looked down at the boy's hand and was surprised to see it had fully healed. She only knew of tier threes that could heal broken limbs. But not this fast. The healing took place within four seconds.

"Who's in charge here?" I asked. "Take him to see the director. I think we have a new student." The man said. I felt a cool sensation and heard a click sound on the back of my neck. The world faded into black. The last thing I remember was the smell of lavender.

I woke up on the bottom of a bunk bed. "Ah," I said, watching the world swirl. What the hell were those guy's problem? I looked around. The room was bland with only two desks and two bunk beds. I looked down and found that I had been redressed while I slept into the schools uniform. I had so many questions.

I heard a snore from two other beds. Both people were about my age and looked like they had never laughed in their lives. So serious, even when they slept.

It was really ark and there wasn't even enough light for me to see, even with my enhanced vision. I sighed and saw the faint outline of a doorway. The outside light just bright enough to reach the crack under the door. I walked towards the door. When I went to open it I heard a cough behind me, as well as someone getting up and onto their feet. "Now, where does the new blood think they're going?" The voice said.
