Cuffs and Flashbacks

I stared at the cuff for a whole minute.

Something about it seemed very very familiar, and not in a good way.

I turned the cuff around in my hand, trying to find a clue as to where I had seen it, or what it was.

Then, I stumbled upon a clearly visible brown stain on the inside of it.

Dried blood.

My dried blood.

I flung the cuff across the room, backing away.

I knew who this was now.

I heard a whimper, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Charles and Addie walk towards me.

"Kim... Kim, are you okay?"

The words sounded cold and far away.

They sounded empty.

Just like the cell they had me in.

9 months.

9 months of pain and loneliness.

9 months of being locked in a cell and tortured for my powers.

9 months of the worst time of my life.

Something shook me back to life.

My gaze snapped upwards, sharpening.

"Kim! Your eyes!" Addie exclaimed, looking scared.

I looked at her.

"Kimmy, she's right. Your eyes! What happened?" Charles looked at me, worried.

"What is wrong with y'all. I'm fine!"

I meant for it to come out firm, but what I was rewarded with, was a whimper.

"I'm fine!"

I tried again. Successful, this time.

"No, you aren't."

Charles pulled out his phone and showed it to me.

I could see myself in the screen, and as far as I was concerned I looked fine.

Until I saw my eyes.

I wasn't sure how I hadn't noticed that before, but now it stood out clear as day.

My irises had turned silver.
