Chapter 3
The next day Emily and Mark were standing in the kitchen before Mark had to go to school.
"Are you sure that you will be alright?" Mark asked again.
Emily nodded. "I'll be fine." She held up Mark's phone. "If something happens I'll phone Ace right away." She put the phone down on the counter. "There's no need to worry Mark. I'm not completely hopeless."
Mark smiled slightly. "Right. I'll see you after school."
Emily smiled. "See you later."
She watched him walk out the door.
'Now let's see if I can shoot lightning from my fists again. It felt so amazing yesterday.' She raised her fists in the air and closed her eyes.
She groaned in frustration a second later and opened her eyes. 'Nothing is happening. Why can't I do it?'
She raised her fists again to the door and this time blue lightning came out and singed the door. "I did it!"
"Interesting." Came a voice behind her. "Very interesting."
Emily whirled around to see that Lord Fear, Lady Illusion, Googler and Dirty Rat standing by the entrance of the house.
"How nice to see you again my dear." Lord Fear said.
The Rat sniffed the air. "She's alone Boss. That Lightning brat isn't here."
"Good."
'They…. They came for me.' Emily thought. 'I need to get out of here.' She looked to the phone on the counter. 'I need to call Ace.'
Staff Head followed her gaze to the counter and smiled. "I don't think so." He let loose an energy beam on it destroying the phone.
"Can't have Ace Lightning coming here can we." Staff Head said as he laughed.
"Nice work my loyal staff." Lord Fear said as he looked back to Emily. "If you come with us now I promise you won't get harmed."
Emily shook her head as she raised her fists at Lord Fear. 'I need to use my powers and get out of here.'
"I won't come with you." Emily said as she fired lightning from her fists.
Lord Fear, Lady Illusion, Googler and Dirty Rat dodged out of the way.
"That was a warning shot." Emily said as she scrunched her nose up.
She could feel that she was getting weaker from that one attack.
Lord Fear chuckled. "Your face betrays you. You're weak." He turned to Lady Illusion. "My Lady will you put an end to this?"
Lady Illusion nodded. "With pleasure my Lord." She said as she stepped forward.
She raised her hand and created a crystal orb.
She smiled at Emily. "This will only take a moment." She said as she threw the orb onto the ground in front of Emily.
It exploded and gas immediately took the orb's place.
Emily's lungs burnt as the gas entered her body and she felt herself getting weaker.
She fell to her knees and she could feel her body giving up as she fell to the floor.
"Let us go." Lord Fear said as they carried her away.
