I coughed violently as I pulled myself from the wreckage of the transport van. Hank had managed to free us all and kill the guards, but this had sent the truck onto its side. Thankfully, the door had broken off, so we were all able to get out.

"Anna, come on!" Fetch cried, grabbing onto my hand.

"I'm coming." I spluttered, letting her pull me along.

"We've gotta go!" Fetch said as we ran up the path.

"Where are we gonna go?" I asked. "We're fugitives."

"We can lay low." Fetch ran a hand through her purple hair as we stopped at the top of the road. "We have stuff on under these hideous orange things, don't we?"

"Well, yeah." Eugene said quietly.

"Then we take off the orange crap and walk around with the underclothes. Nobody will suspect a thing." Fetch shrugged.

"Good plan." I nodded, already working on tearing off the hideous orange jumpsuit. The sweats underneath weren't much better but they would do until she could get some decent clothing.

"Ready?" Fetch asked after we had all ripped off the jumpsuits.

"Ready." I nodded and then we all took off.

"Guys, I gotta go take care of something urgent, but I'll be back sometime." Fetch told us and then sped off in all her neon glory.

"So..." I stammered after Fetch had left. Eugene and I had never really spoken much to each other. We were both kinda shy since we were the youngest in the prison.

"You... uh... wanna go clothes shopping?" Eugene asked.

"We have no money." I told him.

"Okay." Eugene shrugged. "How about shoplifting?"

"Sounds good to me." I giggled before grabbing onto his arm and pulling him along.

After changing into our clothing, we had found a hideout underneath the city. It was a complete mess but it was a good place to lay low. It had broken down TVs strung up on the wall and a bunch of wires here and there. I admired myself in a mirror that hung in the bathroom. I had chosen a black long sleeved crop top, high waisted ripped denim shorts and blue Converse. I had tied my icy blue hair into two braids and actually put on makeup for the first time in six years.

"So Eugene..." I said as I walked back into the main room. "How's it feel to finally be out of that bitch's clutches?"

"It feels great." Eugene smiled timidly. I knew he had a problem with the ladies. He had only been taken into custody at sixteen, same as me. I had dropped out of high school because I was failing anyways, but he seemed like a smart kid.

"You never told me how you ended up getting captured by Brooke." I told him, sitting down on the same sofa he was perched on.

"You never asked." Eugene laughed nervously.

"Well, I'm asking now." I grinned, shifting closer to him. "What happened?"

"Well... uh... I was a bit of a loner in high school. I had no friends but I didn't really want any. I desperately tried to blend into the crowd there, so I could avoid the bullies. But they always found me." Eugene rambled, a sad look in his eyes. "I found my happiness in a game called Heaven's Hellfire. I could summon angels to protect the weak and demons to punish the bullies. I was at school one day, and the bullies pushed me too far. These powers just suddenly burst out of me and there was this huge angel in the school hallway, throwing bullies left and right. The next day... Augustine told me she was taking me to a new school for someone like me."

"Wow, that's horrible." I whispered, placing my hand on his arm to comfort him. "I don't even have a sob story."

"What happened with you?" Eugene confidently asked, looking up at me.

"I discovered my powers when I got angry one day. I was behind on rent, I had already dropped out of high school. My life was going downhill. And I just managed to completely freeze the inside of the apartment. Like, it was encased." I explained. "I ran that day. And then the next week, this guy just started beating me up in the alley. I think he was trying to mug me but I didn't have anything valuable. Then he tried to do something unthinkable, and I killed him. Then, this DUP officer came up, pissed me off, and I froze his arm off. They tackled me to the ground and forced me into the prison."

"Your story's interesting." Eugene smiled. "But not as interesting as mine."

"Definitely not." I laughed. "Hey, what do you say to getting these TVs working? I think we could get some decent news channels, and with your experience of computers, maybe you could get some feeds on security cameras."

"Sounds like a plan." Eugene shrugged and stood up.

I'm sorry if Eugene seems really OOC here. I did not mean to make him that way. But I wanted their friendship to start out really well, and since they've known each other for six years, without really speaking a word to each other, I think they trust each other well enough. So, Fetch has disappeared to do her revenge thing and these two little troublemakers are gonna do some expert hacking to see what the DUP assholes are doing. It's only the second chapter and I'm already so in love with this story. I hope you guys are too. And please review!
