Chapter 2- The Cabin
The white wet fluffy snow, was beginning to fall more heavily as it became harder for Maria to see that roads that were in front of her.
" So where are you taking me to get your tree?" Maria asked as she turned onto main street.
" It's only fifteen minutes away, if you just stay on the highway." Michael replied as he touched her shoulder.
Maria looked at Michael's strong hand touching her shoulder.
" Are you feeling okay?" Maria questioned.
" Yes I'm wonderful why?" Michael asked.
Maria shook her head. She didn't know why Michael was acting this way, but she liked it.
The two teens drove in silence for five minutes, but when the red Jetta passed a green sign that said "Now leaving Roswell." Maria's cell phone went off. Michael made a small smile.
Maria dug into her pocket and found her blue Tellus cell phone. She picked it up and said Hi.
" Hey Maria, it is Liz. The snow is starting to fall harder and I got worried." Liz said
" Oh I'm fine." Maria said.
As Maria talked to Liz, she was trying to focus on the messy roads, so she didn't notice Michael put out his hand on the car's dashboard. All of a sudden the head in the car turned off, and then the car shut down like a computer.
" Liz! My car just stopped, I will call you back okay." Maria said her voice panicking.
" Oh my gosh! Okay call me back!" Liz said as she put the phone down, smiling.
" Michael, Michael what are we going to do?" Maria yelled as she put the phone down beside her. She looked at Michael and to her surprise he was smiling at her.
"This isn't a joke!" Maria said, getting angry and frustrated at Michael.
" Hey look, there is a cabin maybe we can stay the night." Michael said as he pointed to an old brown wooden cabin on the side of the road. When Maria turned her head to see what Michael was pointing at, he put his hand over her cell phone.
" Can't you fix my car with your special powers!" Maria suggested looking at Michael.
" No, not if you want your car to be broken for life. I still cant control my powers that well, and I might make your car worse than what it is." Michael said lying, ever since a month ago when he had started to practice controlling his powers, he had gotten better and Max had been impressed. But Maria didn't know that.
Maria sighed and sat still for a moment, she knew he was right.
" Wait I will phone Liz and see if she could get Max to get us." Maria said reaching for her cell phone.
She dialed Liz's number as she held it up to her hear, she could hear a crackling sound.
" Damn!" Maria said as she set the cell phone back down.
" My phone isn't working!"
Maria then looked at the cabin and then at her car.
"Fine we will go in the cabin, but if that cabin is invested with bugs I'm out!" Maria said as she opened her car door. She went to her trunk and got out some blankets.
" I don't think you will need those." Michael said smiling.
" Yes we will Mr. Smarty Pants or we will freeze to death." Maria said as they began to walking towards the cabin. When they got to the wooden door, they stopped.
" Maybe you should knock." Maria suggested holding the blankets close to her body as a gust of wind picked up.
Michael ignored her and opened the door.
They stepped in and Maria gasped!
