Chapter 11
Scarlet's POV
As I walked down the hall I thought about the little girl; I wonder how old he made her. He said puberty, but I've never seen a change within that many years without killing someone first. Still pondering it I opened the door to Dr. Graff's office and almost gasped. He was staring at a screen, looking like he was about to jump for joy.
"Ugh, Mr. Graff?" He looked over at me and smiled, beckoning me forward.
"It worked Scarlett; it really worked. Poppy aged 5 years and is now getting a new power." I looked at the screen, fascinated.
"What power is it?"
"I don't know, but we'll find out soon enough."
Poppy's POV
I watched in horror as the fog wrapped around their ankles, and seeping mysteriously through the balcony. Fang went to step forward, but stopped; something was preventing him.
"What the-" After a few moments I realized it was the fog keeping them there; wow, that's a cool power.
"Popp, are you doing this?"
"I, I think so."
Tell. Them. To. Leave.
Angel's head shot up, looking at me.
"Fang, someone's still talking to her; they're making her tell us to leave." Fang looked at Angel for a second, and then back to me.
"Who are you hearing Poppy?"
Tell him about me and it'll happen again
Angel quickly told Fang what he had said.
"Or what will happen again?" His face showed confusion, but then I saw anger behind his black eyes.
"Is the voice you're hearing responsible for making you older?!" I quickly shook my head back and forth.
They know too much; back away from them
I started backing up, and they shook their heads.
"Poppy don't go! At least let us out!" I slowly released them, but not before using my speed to run to my bedroom and lock the door before they had even blinked. I leaned against the door, breathing hard; I finally sunk to the ground, tears running down my cheeks.
Max's POV
Once I got back from the store I found Fang and Angel at Poppy's door, asking to go in.
"What's wrong?" They both suddenly looked up.
"Where were you Max?"
"I was at the store; Poppy needed stuff."
"And you just left?!" I shrugged.
"It was like it was the only option I had." Angel had pure confusion on her face.
"Only op- never mind; I'll figure it out later. Right now we have bigger issues to deal with."
"What issues?"
"Long story short we found out someone made Poppy grow older, and now they want us gone or they'll make her even older." He stopped and let that sink in.
"WHAT?!" I threw down the bags and ran to Poppy's door.
"Poppy! Let me in; we need to talk." I just heard silence, but only someone with super hearing like me could have heard the creak as someone walked around the room.
"Poppy?" After a few more attempts I turned back to everyone else.
"We're not getting in there any time soon." They all nodded.
"So what are we gonna do about the person she's hearing?" They shrugged and I got everyone else to come sit on the couch and I quickly explained the situation.
"So, what do you think we should do?" They sat in silence, deep in thought; even Nudge was quiet. Finally Iggy spoke up.
"Maybe we could somehow tell this guy to stop." I thought about it a second.
"But we have no way to hear or talk to this guy." It was silence again and then Angel spoke up.
"I might be able to get you guys to hear him." I gaped at her.
"How?"
"Well, my powers have advanced, and I think I may be able to go into Poppy's mind and let you all hear it." I sat in silence thinking it over.
"Are you sure you can do it?" She nodded.
"Positively sure?" She smiled and nodded again.
"Ok, I'll go get Poppy." I stood up and walked over to her room; I knocked on the door.
"Poppy? I think we can help you." It was silence but I finally heard her whisper from inside.
"No one can help me"
"We can Poppy; just give us a chance." It felt like eternity before I heard her hesitant footstep making their way to the door; I finally saw the door open and Poppy walked out. We walked back to the living room. In my absence they had turned off all the lights and had drawn the blinds, making it pitch dark. I felt someone put an arm around my waist and guide me to the couch with Poppy. I felt them come down and kiss my cheek. I smiled and snuggled into Fang's chest, hoping Angel could do this.
As my eyes adjusted I saw Angel sitting across from us.
"Ok, I need total silence for me to do this." We all nodded and she closed her eyes, rubbing her temples.
"Ok, you should hear him; ask away." I shifted in my seat, wondering what to ask.
"Who are you?" It took a minute but I finally heard it; a man's voice.
And there's the million dollar question
I looked around, noting that everyone else had heard him to.
"What do you want with us?" I heard a chuckle.
Don't flatter yourself Maximum; it's not you I want. It's Poppy.
I felt Poppy stiffen beside me and fury ignited in me.
"Leave her alone or I swear hunt you down and kill you. Slowly."
You are not in any position to be making threats Maximum
"How so?" I asked venom dripping from each word.
Well, seeing as how I have Poppy's life in my hands
I gasped, not so confident anymore.
"What do you mean by that?"
I mean that I could age Poppy until she dies; or I could just make her forget you all.
I felt Poppy start to shake, and I was shocked speechless; finally I heard Poppy's voice.
"T-they'll l-leave! I-I can make them leave!" It was dead quiet and what he said next made my blood run cold and my heart stop beating; you could feel the temperature in the room drop a few degrees.
O Poppy; I don't need anything from them anymore
Suddenly everything happened in slow-mo. Angel collapsed, the lights started flickering, Poppy dropped to the ground, screaming, and a black fog started trailing into the room.
Ho-ly-crap
Hey guys! Please review! Pretty please! I know you guys are out there! If at least half of my followers comment than I'll post another chap tonight.
If you are an easy cryer i suggest you not read this next part; it's a section about the kids who died in that elementary school shooting.
I just wanted to post this last part real quick.
My heart goes out to all the families suffering from the elementary school shooting; no one should have to deal with losing a child, especially one that's in elementary school. I don't know what kind of sick person would kill children. I mean i shed a tear just seeing one fot he dads on tv; i was like "omg this is so sad! He lost his daughter!"I was crying in the resturant; I mean who does that?! (Regains composure) R.I.P to the kids who got killed before they ever got to live their life.
Mommy...someone brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great, huge crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold!
When I went to school that day,
I never said good-bye.
I'm sorry that I had to go, But Mommy, please don't cry.
When he shot the gun, he hit me and another,
And all because he, got the gun from his brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very much,
And please tell Zack; my boyfriend; That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my little sister; That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother; I'll be waiting for her now
And tell my wonderful friends; That they always were the best
Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest
Mommy, tell my teachers; I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this, And please don't let this pass
Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one, though. deserves this.
But mommy, it's not fair, I left without a kiss.
And Mommy tell the doctors; I know that they really did try
I think I even saw one doctor, trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying, with a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy please remember, I'm in heaven with the rest
When I heard that great, big crack, I ran as fast as I could
please listen to me if you would,
I wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new
I guess I'm not going with Daddy, On that trip to the new zoo
I wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress, I really wanted to live.
But Mommy I must go now, The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my Zack, I'm sorry I to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have, I know you know its true
And Mommy all I need to say is, "Mommy, I love you"
Omg i just literally felt my heart crack in two; i'm literally crying as i type this. For the kids who's lives were taken before they ever got to live it, i am truely and deeply sorry. Your lives ended before you got to live; no one should ever have that happen to them.
R.I.P (Holding out fingers with final goodbye from "The Hunger Games") :*{(
