Confronting Memories Part 2
My mouth
opened and I let out an earth shattering scream.
"Look out!"
I heard someone shout.
I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact,
but there was nothing. I heard the squeal of the truck as it came to
a sudden halt. Only problem was that it sounded far, far away.
I
dared to open my eyes and I gave another scream. I was sitting on a
bit of the road that was floating in the air.
I gripped
the edge of the floating rock and peered over the edge. I was only
about ten metres into the air, but it was still pretty scary. I saw a
crowd below me staring up in amazement. And there was the idiot guy
who chased me onto the street.
"She's a freak!" the all
began to murmur, or something around that line.
Suddenly, the
rock fell and I screamed, along with the people below me. I leaped
off the rock just before it hit the ground, injuring some people.
"She's trying to kill us!" someone shouted.
"No!" I
gasped staggering backwards.
I turned around and began running. I
ran down the street and was about to pass an abandoned warehouse when
someone grabbed me and yanked me inside.
"Let me go!" I
screamed.
"Relax kid."
I recognized the voice and turned
around to see the boy from the alley earlier.
"You!" I said
pushing myself away from him. "This is all your fault!"
"My
fault?" the boy said shaking his head, laughing.
"Fine, you
can laugh all you want," I snapped. "I'm going home."
"Thought you said you needed a place to crash," the boy said
coolly as I neared the exit.
"Not with you," I snapped back.
"Besides, don't I need to pass an initiation?"
The boy put
a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. "Sure ya do, but because you
distracted the whole block, I managed to get in and get some beer and
a pack of cigarettes. You want one?" he said offering me the box.
I shook my head. This guy was really weird. "Fine, so you know
where a place where I can crash?"
"Here," the boy said
simply sitting down on the floor. "I got some gum, if you want
any."
"Gee, thanks," I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.
"So did you, ya know, lift up the rock earlier?" the boy
asked.
"I don't know," I said with a shrug. "Maybe
someone did it to save me."
But deep down inside, I knew that
was a lie. I knew that I had done it. I was the one that did it, but
I knew I couldn't control it.
"I don't believe you," the
boy replied. "I think you have super powers. Maybe you're like
Superman!"
I snorted. "I'm not an alien," I said running
a hand through my hair.
"Sure you aren't," the boy said in
one of those I-don't-believe-you tones.
"Shut up," I
snapped losing my patience.
The boy laughed. "Temper, temper!"
he said wagging a finger at me like some kind of teacher. "Wouldn't
want those super powers of yours to get out of control!"
"SHUT
UP!" I yelled jumping up.
I felt a great gust of wind that blew
my hair wildly around. I felt a massive pain in my head and I gave a
scream of pain.
As suddenly as the wind had come, it stopped.
"Whoa," the boy whispered.
Suddenly, there was a loud
rumbling noise and the ground beneath us tore open. The boy screamed
as he fell like a rock to the bottom. Then the hole got quiet. I
wasn't screaming. I was standing on a rock that, again, was
floating in the air. I looked up and the rock began floating towards
the light.
At first, I was shocked that the boy had died and that
I had something to do with it. Then I was excited. I had super
powers!
