Chapter 10: Danny

I dreamed I was flying. Not racing, just gliding. Floating over the Earth, watching everything from a distance. I saw Emma kneeling over Jet, a worried look on her face. Her hands had a blue glow around them, and she was moving them methodically over his body. Then I noticed my body. Liz was leaning over me, shaking me, trying to get a response. Her face was tear stained, her eyes glistening in the sun. Wait. The sun? Last I remembered, it had been sunset.

I glided down to my body, wondering if I was still alive. I touched my chest, searching for a heartbeat, but my hand just fell through. I was terrified that id hadn't made it, when an idea came to me. I positioned myself so that I was in my body, and then I felt myself slip into the blackness, forgetting everything that had happened. A gasp escaped my lips, and knew that I was back.

"Danny!" Liz cried. Fresh tears came pouring from her eyes as she hugged me. "I didn't know if you would make it or not! I'm so glad you're okay…" She finished awkwardly.

"What happened? The last thing I remember, I kicked Jet, saw a surge of light, then passed out."

"You found your power. But you went over your limit. You pushed yourself too far, so your body failed on you. You're really lucky that you came back again." Her voice betrayed the fear that she had felt. The fear that I wouldn't make it out of this.

"Well, I did," I said, trying to reassure her. "So, what is my power, because I didn't get a good look at it and passed out before anyone told me."

"We are pretty sure it's electricity. You shocked Jet pretty badly. Emma's been working on him all night, and all that she has done is stabilize him…" Her voice drifted off toward the end, the worry showing on her face and creeping into her voice. Her gaze moved to where Jet was lying on his back, Emma kneeling over him. I did this? I thought. How could I have done something like this? I've never hurt someone this badly in cold blood. I wanted to help Jet, but I knew that there was nothing I could do to help. Emma was a healer. She would have to deal with it. But I couldn't help but feel responsible for what I had done to Jet.

Chloe lay next to Jet, clutching his hand and stroking his hair. Her eyes were red, her face tearstained. Then she looked up, and noticed that I was awake. "You!" She shrieked. She let go of Jet's hand and pounced on me, knocking the wind out of me. "You did this to him!" She yelled, clawing at me, scratching every surface of my body she could reach. I felt her tear through the shirt I was wearing, felt blood drip down arm, but I did not cry out. I knew that I deserved this. I had put Jet in this state, even if by accident. Even if he was provoking me, trying to get me to hurt him. This was still my fault.

"Chloe, get off of him!" I heard Liz cry, but only faintly. I could feel myself slipping back into the blackness and didn't fight it. In fact, I would welcome a chance to escape this for a few hours. Escape the guilt that I might have killed Jet. When the blackness consumed me, I went happily, with a smile on my face.

I felt myself return to consciousness and groaned. All of the memories from before Chloe had attacked me, the guilt that I felt over Jet's condition, came back to me. I didn't want to face it, but I knew that I had to. I opened my eyes, and saw Liz sitting next to me. She looked tired, black circles forming under her eyes.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"Eighteen hours the first time, six just now. You better be careful, I don't think passing out this much is good for you." She sounded exhausted, like she hadn't slept since I had passed out the first time.

"How… how's Jet?" I asked. I was scared, but I still had to know if he had made it. If he didn't make it, I don't know how I would go one with my life.

"He woke up a few hours ago, but went back under after a few minutes. Emma's still worried for him, but she thinks that there is a big chance that he will live without any side effects," Liz replied. She tried to put on a smile, but it looked fake, and I knew that she was still worried for Jet. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he would live, at least for a little bit longer. I sat up slowly, feeling a pain in my head the second I moved.

"Oh, no you don't," Liz scolded, pushing me back down. It was then that I realized that I had been moved to my bedroll. "You are going to rest until Emma can have a look at you. Chloe really did some damage before I could pull her off of you."

I looked at my body and noticed scars and bruises that hadn't been there before. Then I felt the pain. It was excruciating, but I wouldn't cry out. I deserved these scars and this pain. My eyes suddenly felt heavy, like I hadn't slept in days, when that was actually the only thing I had done. I tried to fight off sleep, but it over powered me, and I faded into the blackness once more.

I know that this is a short chapter, but please review! And submit an OC. I still don't have one, and I would really like to introduce him soon and I want my readers to make him. I can. But I think it would be more interesting if you guys did. Review! 6 days of school left! (That is really unrelated, but it makes me so happy!) But really it is 13 days, but only six in my mind!
