The End of It All

Celeste stood on the high edge of a building she came across of. Her eyes weren't looking forward but rather down at all the lights on the city street. Her feet on the edge with nearly more than half hanging off of the roof. She knew she wasn't going to fall though, her power let her control this. At her thought Celeste could make her body seem like and have the density of air. Her other power was the one that bothered her. For this she could not touch anyone because it might hurt them. Those jade green eyes of hers started to fill with tears as she thought back to time her power manifested:

"Celeste! Get over here quick!" That was Laura..one of her freinds since childhood. Celeste ran with the box in her hands as the blue and red light surrounded the entrance of the warehouse.

"Sorry but I'm not very good at this you know."

Laura looked at her and said, "Hey we all have our professions. Besides, you've gotten better."

As Celeste smiled Brian came up to them from behind and said, "Are you two ready?"

"Ready for what?"

He took something black from his side and held it out to her. "You know what."

"No I can't do it this time. It was horrible the first time and I ended it that time. No more killing."

"You wanna get the job done?" She nodded firmly and he said back, "Then do it." With a nearly teared face she took the gun and held it firmly in both hands still thinking of a way not to use it. Brian nodded to them and from behind them came five others in black with guns. The five started firing with no actual target but the group of cops that were swarming the place. She shut her eyes as Brian grabbed her arm and Laura ran with them. She was the only one whom wasn't firing now...she couldn't.

Celeste heard a large crash on the floor behind her as she lost Brian's grip. She looked back and screamed out in horror, "BRIAN!" Her eyes focused on his motionless body with a bullethole in his head and blood forming around his upper body. Laura grabbed her but as Celeste turned she caught her last glimpse of her friend. Laura was shot and fell back while Celeste ran for it. The gun came from her hands and shot off strait into the cop swarm. She was shot in the arm and someone she didn't see grabbed her. As she screamed at the moment he flew back from her glowing body.

She gasped for air and managed to find a door next to her where she escaped. Her feet moved fast but her mind was still in the warehouse focused on the images of her dead friends. Her eyes teared up fast as she cried when she stumbled into a pile of trash bags in the ally.


"No more......", she whispered to herself as she looked down. The box was removed from her feet and she opened it up focusing on what was inside. She picked up her own necklace that was her mother's from the box and looked at it. It was taken from her as a child and she made two attempts to get it back. The first she killed people...the second one....her friends died. Her head raised as she chose to not jump that night and give the option to someone else or maybe save the chance for another day. Right now she just wanted to live. That was all.
