Abby-
It was the perfect morning. Just me, Emily, and the flock. We all sat around a fire cooking breakfast. I tried to argue when they gave their orders for breakfast to the blind guy, but I thought better than to voice my opinion.
"Okay, lets get to business. What exactly happened to you guys when they took you away?" Fang said.
"Well, its kind of hard to describe we were unconscious for most of it." I said, looking down at the embers burning in the fire. Fang but his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
"That's ok. Just describe to us what you remember." Fang said softly.
"Okay, "Emily said, "Well, I just blacked out, and the first thing I remember was pain. It was a very large needle they were injecting into me. At first it wasn't so bad. And than the headaches started. They were so horrible, I couldn't even scream. "Something very strong was holding me down and I couldn't struggle away from it. "
I just looked at Fang, and nodded slowly, confirming that the same thing had happened to me.
"Emily" Iggy said, "You say that it wasn't so bad in the beginning, how long before the headaches started?"
"Umm I don't know," She said. "About, 1 minute." Than somehow Iggy, looked at Fang, and Fang just looked back at Iggy horror struck.
"What?" I said.
"Well, It's just that they wouldn't keep the needle in your arm for that long if they were just checking your blood. They were injecting something." Fang stared deep into my eyes. "Honey, there's no reason to be frightened, but do you feel… different at all?"
"Umm, no, not really." I said. "Ill show you the cut if it helps." I pulled up my sleeve to show the scar the needle had left. Emily walked over and pulled her sleeve up too, but unlike my scar as big as a quarter on my arm, her's was perfect. It was quiet for about 5 seconds., but that was enough to annoy Iggy. He walked over to us and dragged his delicate fingers up my arm till he felt the scar. He reached over to Emily and did the same, but couldn't find the scar. He froze.
"I don't understand." Emily said. "Why did my scar heal? I mean this morning I was looking at it and wishing that it would go away. And now it's gone."
"It's your power." Fang said. They injected some gene into you to give you powers. They gave you the power to heal."
"I wonder if it works on other people." The Gasman questioned, speaking up first time this morning.
They all huddled around Emily toying with her new power. But Fang and I stayed. He just looked at me and I knew that we were thing the same thing. If Emily got a power than that mean that I did too. He wanted to know what I remembered exactly. And I told him about the strange dream I had. He listened intently and than suddenly he smiled.
"What?" I said.
"I figured out what your power is." He said.
"WHAT?" I said again.
"You reflect on the past and see it as 3rd person, instead of first. That's how you saw me after you left the van." He smiled again.
"Wow." I said. And that's when I passed out.
