Chapter 11:

She was floating above the ground. Walking over to her I waved my hand over her body trying to find strings or some magic trick. Not finding any I imagined her slowly being laid on the ground. To my amazement I watched as invisible hands laid her down on the ground. I jumped excitedly. I had got my powers back myself without Joel. I thought smugly, I would die to see his face right now.

 

I heard rustling as the girl moved. Scolding myself on forgetting about the girl I hurried over and sat beside her, pulling her head onto my lap and caressing her forehead. Her eyelids fluttered open. She didn’t move for a few seconds but when she actually registered me she jumped up and ran behind a tree.

“What happened?”

She peeked behind the tree still looking frightened.

“Please tell me.”

She cautiously moved out from behind the tree.

“What did you do to my body?”

“It’s called a memory prodder. I just poked inside your mind.”

“What did you see?”

“I saw your darkest thought and power.” She shuddered at the memory.

“And? What is it?”

Looking uncomfortable she fidgeted with her top.

“I will not share your darkest memory but if you really want to know your power it would be my pleasure.”

“Yes, would you please?”

“What I saw is very important you can’t just go around using it.”

“I promise I won’t.”

“Kate, I care about you. I saw great things going to happen because of you, but also great tragedies,” Looking nervous she continued, “Kate you are destined to have great power over man. You can control and kill just by thinking it.”

Astonished I sat down. That’s why I stopped her from falling because she triggered my power that was deep inside of me. Just think if I would have thought kill her quickly instead of suffering she would be dead right now.
