When I woke up, I found myself on a bed, I realized that I was in a hotel. I thought I was supposed to be in the Helix. But before I thought of anything else, I tried to find Emma or Adam and couldn't. So I left the room and went in search of them.

After awhile, I returned to the room and called room service. I guess I was really hungry. When I went to the telephone, I saw a note. It was from Adam. He said that they left to search for the hospital and to check on the patients.

They left me because I looked too tired and wanted me to rest. Then I wondered if Emma had told Adam about her uncontrollable powers or was it just concern. But it didn't matter, all I cared for at the moment was food. I haven't eaten all day. After eating, I felt better and decided to get some rest. I fell asleep while watching some television. And then I heard some whispering but I was too sleepy to care.

The next morning, I heard people talking and I slowly I got up. I realized Adam and Emma was already up. Now I wondered why Emma wasn't tired like me, perhaps her new powers doesn't drain. Anyway, I went to ask them how the patients were. Adam said that his predictions were right and we had to find a way to help them.

I knew it would be hard but with Emma's new power, it would be easier. Then, Adam asked me how I was feeling. He told me that he knew about Emma's new power and that I was tired because Alex and I had helped her. I thought I had told him and I was about to apologize to Emma for breaking her promise but Emma told me she had told Adam.

I asked them about Alex and how she was because if she didn't help me, I couldn't have save Emma or myself. Adam told me that Alex was fine because when she transformed into a person, she got their power and using Emma's new power didn't tire her at all unlike me. I was satisfied or disappointed because I wondered why I always got injured the most and the one who healed last. I began to wish that I had different powers.

Adam said that he and I will try to locate and stop the powerful mutant causing the problem before he or she hurt any more people while Emma helped the victims. I had a feeling that this would be hard for Adam because he didn't have any powers to defend himself. I also knew that Adam will not stay behind and will tag along because he won't let me get the mutant by myself. I would have to protect Adam at all costs and I knew that I was going to go home injured really badly. It was times like this that I wished I had healing powers.

That afternoon, Adam and I went out to search for the mutant and Emma went to the hospital to help the victims. Adam told me that the mutant was probably a telempathy like Emma and a very powerful one at that. I had hoped that I was a feral mutant or something other than telepathy because that way I could fight. But being a telepathy meant that it could manipulate my feelings or worse, Adam's. I just hoped I could fight it off because I knew it would be difficult. After facing Emma, I can tell you that I hope it will not happen again.

Adam and I were wondering through some part of the city. We were near some alley ways and heard a scream. We ran in the direction of the scream and found a young man shivering. He was scared and we knew the mutant was close. I turned when I heard something moving and saw a black figure running towards an abandoned factory. Adam was helping the young man and didn't notice. I followed the figure into the factory. I knew if I didn't tell Adam and left him, he won't get hurt and that is one less thing that I have to worry about.

As I ran towards the factory, I heard Adam yelling my name and I knew he didn't know where I was. Slowly and quietly, I walked into the factory and I could tell it was a fish factory because it smelled fishy. I heard someone approach me from behind. I turned around and saw a girl who was about my age. She had messy reddish blonde hair. She wore a purple top on and a pair of tight jeans. I had a feeling that she was the one I was looking for.

"Why are you hurting these innocent people?" I asked as I watched her closely.

"It's fun," she answered. "I like it."

"It's not fun hurting people."

"Yes, it is. You should try it."

Then she lifted some barrels off the ground with her mind and threw them at me. I dodged them with ease because Alex always fired lightning bolts at me and I had to learn to dodge. She saw that I was pretty good and threw more barrels. Still, I dodged it all. I asked for her name and she told me that it was Rose.

Then all of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice and I hoped I was imagining it. I turned around and saw Adam standing there. It wasn't that I didn't want to see him. I just didn't want to see him hurt.

"Adam, what are you doing here?" I yelled.

"Funny, I was about to ask you the same question," he said as I ran towards him. "Is that the mutant causing the trouble?

"Yeah it is. How did you find me and why?" I asked.

"I heard noises coming from here and I knew it was you fighting when I noticed that you were missing and I had to find you. Why did you leave me behind?"

"I knew that you couldn't fight her and I didn't want you to get hurt. Plus, I can fight better without you."

"Are you saying that I would be a burden?"

"No, I mean you may get hurt if I used my powers at its fullest. Remember the time I burned the invisible wall., my power scared you and I don't want that to happen again. Also, you are completely defenseless against her."

As I finished that very sentence, I felt a very sharp object pierce my skin and into my back. I yelled out in pain and surprised Adam. Rose had seen that I was distracted and took the opportunity to hurt me when I was off guard. Stupid me, I scolded myself.

I removed the knife from my back and Adam realized what had happened. Rose knew I was an worthy opponent and she also knew my weaknesses. I knew she was good and I decided I wouldn't be caught off guard again.

I told Adam to stay back and to find some place safe when I fought. Afterward, I charged towards her. Rose knew that she had gotten my attention, but I sensed some fear from her. I started hurling fireballs and icicles at her. Unlike me, she couldn't dodge all of them, instead she was hit by most of them. I knew I was winning and it was too easy. But unfortunately, I was right. She was only testing my power and she was holding back the entire time.

All of a sudden, I heard her tell me to use all my powers. I was surprised that she knew I was holding back. I told her no because I might seriously hurt her or myself. She asked me once more and threatened that if I refused, something terrible might happen. I thought she was buffing so I still refused. Then I figured out what she meant when I heard Adam scream in pain. I looked back and saw Adam on the floor. She was mentally hurting Adam because she wanted me to fight at full power.

As I heard Adam scream in more pain, I couldn't take it anymore. This was like the time Alex had attacked Adam. I felt my anger explode into a level beyond control. I was furious and she was smiled in approval. I was blinded by my anger and I held nothing back. I charged at her and she dodged it. I threw a fireball and predicted where she would dodge to and then threw more fireballs that she couldn't dodge. Next, I blasted her with sharp shards of ice. Then, she and I went at it. There was an exchange of punches and kicks. She was very powerful but I had the upper hand because I was an elemental.

When I had calmed down and knocked her out, I ran quickly and exhaustedly towards Adam to see if he was okay. Adam seemed to be okay. He was just a little shaken up.

When I looked up, I saw a knife flying towards me. I started to jump away to avoid it but then I realized that the knife wasn't aimed towards me. It was flying towards Adam.

I rushed back and tried to knock the knife out of its course. I threw fireballs at it but missed. So I did the only thing left to do . I jumped at Adam and knocked him to the floor while the knife flew straight at me.

I felt a surge of pain as the knife stabbed my chest and it hurt much more than before. I landed on the floor, unable to move due to the pain. I heard Adam call me but he seemed distant. And slowly, a black curtain came over my eyes and I saw darkness only.
