[color=Silver][CENTER][h1][b]Natalie Ellis[/b][/h1][/CENTER][/color] [hr][hr] When Archie had gone off, Natalie respected his wished and started to return to the group, before watching Archie head into the forest. He had told her to go on ahead and go back to the others, but what was he up to in the forest? After some thinking, she decided not to follow him, and return to the group. If he'd wanted her to go with him, he'd have said so. Natalie started to walk back, but didn't join the group properly. They were fully in the throes of a conversation and she didn't want to interrupt that by forcing herself. That's when she heard a scream. A terrified, male scream. Flashbacks started playing in her head, her eyes went wide, her pupils dilated. She braced herself against a wall and started counting backwards from fifty. A little trick that calmed her down. Even though it prevented her from snapping, she was anything but calm right now. The other girl had ran off ahead of them, and she followed. She heard another scream, this one from one of the girls, and started to sprint. When Natalie arrived, she saw the group all standing, nobody was hurt, but they were panicky., As she got closer she saw the body, and froze. It wasn't just dead. It was mutilated. The chest was caved in. It was just like...just like... [b][i]Natalie, naked, turned from the carnage she had just created in the operating theatre and crashed through the door. She could see the fear in the eyes of the scientists and security outside. She saw one of them going for his assault rifle. He was going to shoot her! She was in danger! She silently ran at him before he could raise it, and...[/i][/b] The group would see Natalie turn from the body, run right up to a nearby tree, punch her fist straight through it, and tear it in half with an animal-like ferocity. She kept low, as if dodging gunfire, and then scarpered along the ground to another tree, which she grabbed and pulled, ripping it clean out of the ground, roots and all. It was then that a branch hit her in the face and she dropped it, now standing straight and stock still, before collapsing to her knees and lowering her head. [b][i]Both guards were dead. She was still holding the disembodied torso of one of them. She glared at the scientists. They had tortured her for two years. Finally, she had the power. She had the power and all they could do was run and scream. Natalie turned to them and started to...leaves?[/i][/b] Why could she feel leaves on her face? She was in the woods. She had been holding a tree. It was over. Project Lion was over. She took a deep gasping breath, and collapsed to her knees. She couldn't turn around. She couldn't stand to look at that body again. She was scared to even move. She noticed after a few seconds that her body was shaking, and tears were streaming down her face.
