Chapter 7 – The power
I was still a bit shocked with what had just happened, but I answered.
Jack – Ye…yes.
??? – I've finally found you…
I finally came to my senses.
Jack – But wait, who are you? And how do you know me?
Tobi – All I can tell you is my name, I'm Tobi, the rest is not important now.
I could see that he was in a lot of pain, and that he wouldn't last much longer in that state, if he had something to tell me, it had to be now.
Jack – What do you want from me?
He was starting to have problems talking.
Tobi – Ha…ve you tou…ched the co…ver of the Land before time movie?
Ruben – How the hell is that important?
Now that he mentioned the cover, I did noticed that is was different from the normal ones, this one seemed like blue a plate, I found it strange at the time, but I thought it was just a special cover or something, but I had my doubts now…
Jack – Yes I have, but why?
He didn't answer, he just took a necklace out of is pocktet and gave it to me.
The moment the necklace touched me, I felt this… power flowing through my body, I had this blue aura around me, and for some reason, when that light hit Tobi, he recovered a little.
Suddenly it stopped, I felt the power inside me be transported to the blue crystal in the Necklace that was in my hand. I putted the necklace around my neck, and looked at Tobi.
Ruben was impressed, he really was.
Ruben – Whoa…
Jack – Care to explain what's happe…
I stopped. I looked around and I noticed that things were quiet, to quiet.
Jack – It was you wasn't it?
Tobi – So you noticed… Yes it was me, that's one of my powers, I can control time.
Ruben – Wait…what? Does this means that Jack now as like special powers?
Tobi – Yes, and soon, so will you Ruben.
Ruben – Figures, I… Wait…what?!
Tobi – There is a total of 5 chosen for this powers, me, Jack, and you Ruben, I know that the fourth one is also here, and that whoever that one is, already has is powers, I have no idea where the fifth one could be.
Could Meryan be the fourth person that Tobi was looking? And who could the fifth be? This was getting pretty strange.
All of a sudden, for some reason I could tell that Tobi's power was getting weaker.
Tobi – arg, I have to go, I can't handle it much longer.
Jack – What's the matter?
Tobi – I've only acquired this power like 3 days ago, I still can't control it well, and this wound isn't helping at all.
Jack – Wait! Who were those guys that were chasing you? And how do we meet?
Tobi – Those guys? Don't worry about them, and you will be able to find me with your power. I will get us back 20s in time, it's the best I can do yet, I'll be waiting for you.
He touched us, and closed his eyes.
Me and Ruben passed out.
I was awake by Meryan, which seemed to be very concerned about us, lying there on the hospital floor.
Meryan – Jack! Ruben! What on earth happened?
Jack – I'm not sure…
Ruben – My head hurts again, that's what happened, man!
When Meryan touched me, I felt something strange, she also felt it, and her expression changed.
Meryan – No way… You too Jack?
Jack – You're also a chosen one? Was it also Tobi? And when did you got this powers?
Meryan – Easy Jack, I'll explain it all. I have this powers for almost a year, when I bought the Land before time III, I noticed the cover was made from a green plate, I thought it was a special cover or something.
Same thoughts exactly, strange in way.
Meryan – But a week after, I received a letter from someone named Tobi saying that I was one of the 5 chosen and that I had powers within me, he told in the letter what I should do and he arranged a meeting, but he never showed up. So I started to control my powers alone.
She showed me her necklace, the only difference was the crystal, hers was green, mine was blue.
Jack – And what are your powers?
She looked around to see if no one was around. After seeing that we were alone she showed us her power.
She trowed a pen she had.
She then extended her hands, and concentrated.
The pen started moving, got out of the floor and came back to Meryan.
Ruben – That doesn't sound like a big deal.
Meryan – What I just did no, but I can control all my surroundings, quite useful during exams. Not that I've done anything like that of course.
Jack – sure… you haven't! But anyway, that's amazing!
Meryan – I know. And about you? What kind of powers do you have?
Jack – Well, I'm not sure, but I seem to have healing powers, since I managed to heal Tobi somehow.
Ruben – Wait…What?! That's it!
Jack –What?
Meryan – Oh, I get it.
Ruben – You can try to heal Sarah, please Jack.
Jack – I'm so sorry, I didn't remembered that. Sure I'll try. In which room is she?
Ruben – I… Don't know… DANG IT!
Meryan – Hum, guys, I overhead one of the doctors saying that she was on room 305.
Ruben – That's awesome! Nice Job!
Meryan – Nothing to it!
Jack - Can you two stop that please? I want to try me power.
Meryan and Ruben - Sorry, sorry.
We passed through where my mother was asleep, but this time Ruben's mother was also there, asleep as well.
Ruben - That Job kills her, so tiring.
We entered the first block and climbed the stairs to the second one.
We saw room 305, and we were about to go there when we heard the nurse.
Nurse – I'm sorry, visiting time is over.
Meryan – We need to see someone, its important.
Nurse – I'm sorry, but it's impossible now, come back tomorrow.
Jack – (Whispering) Man, Tobi's time control sure would be handy now.
Ruben – (whispering) Let me handle this.
(Normal) Look, my sister may not live till tomorrow, and you still haven't let me see her, so I demand that, I WANT TO SEE MY LITTLE SISTER BEFORE SHE DIES!!
Nurse – Oh… You're that girl's brother… Very well, I will allow you to go see her, I will warn her mother as well.
She left to go tell Ruben's mother that she may go and see Sarah probably for the last time, or so it would be if it was a normal situation not involving powers.
Ruben – We gotta do it before my mother arrives.
Jack – Agreed, let go.
We went to room 305 and entered it, and there she was, Sarah.
She looked like a little angel asleep, she had black hair like Ruben and was very cute.
She was around 8.
Ruben went near her, grabbed her hand, and kissed her in the face.
Her hair was covering her face, Ruben putted it back and said:
Ruben – Don't worry, the pro's are here. It's up to you now Jack.
Jack – You know, there's no way to know if this will actually work, I just got my powers today…
Ruben - I won't blame you if it doesn't work, but I will blame if you don't try…
Jack – Ruben…
Meryan – Stop being lazy and do it!
Jack – I'm not la… The point is, I hope it Works.
I got near Sarah and putted my hands on her.
Jack – Here goes nothing… In this case we want something, so c'mon powers that I just got today, don't let me down!
I could feel that same power flowing in me again, but this time I directed all the energy to Sarah.
A blue aura started to form around me, I could feel it go to Sarah, I could feel her getting better, but something was wrong, I was felling weaker, but I had to finish, or else it would had be in vain.
Jack – I don't think I have enough power to do it, I…I…I can't do it.
Meryan suddenly appeared on my side and touched me, transferring part of her power to me.
Meryan – Never say never, you are not alone.
We both gave all we had on that spell.
I fell, super tired on the floor, wondered if it had worked or not.
Meryan was also tired, but not as much as me, since she had her powers almost for a year.
I got up with Meryan's help and I looked at Sarah, and somehow I knew it had worked.
Jack – We did it…
Ruben turned to Sarah, and he saw, happily, that she had opened her eyes
Sarah – Ruben?
Ruben – Oh Sarah!
He hugged her, crying, he kissed her in the face.
She hugged him back, hard.
Ruben – You're ok now, you won't ever need to worry about your heart again.
She opened her eyes a lot, she seemed really happy by hearing that.
Sarah – Really? I'm so happy! I was so scared when I thought that I wouldn't see you or mummy again.
Ruben – Don't worry about it now, mummy is on her way too, you will be fine.
Sarah looked around and she saw us.
Sarah – Meryan!
Meryan – Glad to see you're ok sweetie?
Sarah – Tee-hee.
Moments later the nurse, the doctor responsible for Sarah,Ruben's/Sarah's mother and my mother that somehow also managed to come.
Nurse – Right this way…
Doctor – It sure would be a miracle if she was …
They entered the room and they all saw Sarah, on Ruben's lap, laughing and talking like she was never sick at all.
Doctor – Ok, I admit, miracles exist…
R/S mother – Omg, Sarah! You're ok!
Sarah – Mummy!
They hugged each other, and kissed each other.
Jack's Mother – Thank god…
That doctor just wouldn't stop with the miracle thingy, and the nurse was even crying.
Sure they thought that all of that was weird, but they were celebrating, and so were we.
But we had to go, we needed to find Tobi and learn more about this powers.
Jack – Ruben… we need to go.
Ruben – I know… Sarah?
Sarah – yes Ruben?
Ruben – I will have to leave for a while.
Sarah – Aww, don't go, stay with me.
Ruben – Don't worry sweetie, we will see each other home.
S/R Mother – She will able to go home today?
Doctor – Well, I have a few exams to do to her, if they are all normal, yes.
Ruben – That's really good to hear, so I will be on my way, I will see you later Sweetie, and don't forget, you still have to do your homework.
Sarah – Tee-hee, I won't forget, but don't take too long, I need you.
Ruben – Don't worry, you know I will never leave you.
Jack – Let's go.
Ruben – Let's
Jack's Mother – Jack…
Jack – Don't' worry mum, I see you home later.
Jack's Mother – Ok, be careful
Jack – Will do!
We climbed the stairs down to the first block and went to entrance and got out.
Meryan - were to now?
Jack – He said that we could find him with our powers. Let's concentrate.
We concentrated our powers, and a short while after, we both felt a power, not far from there. It could only be Tobi.
Ruben – So? Any luck?
Meryan – We found him.
Jack – That way.
The power led us to the park.
Jack – Well, he's here, I can feel it.
Meryan – yeah.
Ruben - Well let's get in.
