Prompts: 12 Days of Sylar for heroes_sylar - On the Fifth Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - a Cell on Level Five.
Type: Drabble
Disclaimer: I do not own Heroes or any of its characters.
Sylar stalked through the darkened hallways of Level 5, the dim patches of allowed light illuminating his form stepwise. He surveyed the few men, still left there after the escape, trapped behind layers of enforced fiberglass and concrete. It wasn’t long ago that Sylar willingly stayed in one of those cells just to appease the woman who may or may-not be his biological mother. She always kept him caged there, like an animal up for adoption in conditions too poor for its proper care.
At the time, Sylar didn’t mind. He would have done anything necessary to gain the love of “mommy.” If it meant long hours of meditation in the cold and dark all alone, he would have done what it took. Now; however, was a completely different story. The tables had turned.
If there was one thing that Arthur had taught him, it was that there is always an alternate means to an end. The power absorption was just a bonus, but Sylar suspected he had picked it up subconsciously from the many times he had engaged in fights with Peter. No, Arthur’s pervasive manipulation of his family and those around him showed him that the easiest way to extract truth was to hunt it down for himself. Never again would Sylar be left in the dark concerning his own being.
Remaining Prompts:
On the Sixth Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Six Cheerleaders Dancing.
On the Seventh Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Seven Pieces of Pie.
On the Eight Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Eight Solemn Prayers.
On the Ninth Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Nine Broken Snow Globes.
On the Tenth Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Ten Warm Brains.
On the Eleventh Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Eleven Angel Feathers.
On the Twelfth Day of Sylar, my true love gave to me - Twelve Men on a Jury.
Cheers!
