Sylar waited a few seconds to see if anything moved in the bush. Obviously, nothing did so he walked over to it and started moving some of the branches out of the way. He saw me and looked at me as if I was some weird looking animal that wasn't yet discovered. He slowly and carefully grabbed my arms, pulled me out of the bush and let me lay limp in the ground. He kneeled next to me and caressed my face.
"How can this happen?" he quietly asked himself. He must have heard something because his head whipped around and he froze. After a few seconds, he looked around in all other directions. He paused for a minute, then lifted my back and put his left arm under it and put his right arm under my legs where my knees bent. He stood up and lifted me with him. Taking one more look around him, he started to head back to the road. It took a few minutes to reach the road but when we finally did, I could see out of the corner of my eye, Nathan's car, parked behind mine. But where was Nathan?
Sylar then stopped just before he reached his car. He must have seen Nathan's. He looked down at me, then knelt down and set me on the ground, but propped me up against the side of his car. My head moved to the side and I suddenly got a good view of my car and Nathan's car. Sylar stood back up and cautiously walked over to Nathan's car. While he was peeking through the driver's side window of the car, I heard some rustling next to me. Something grabbed my waist and I was suddenly shot into the air. It took a few seconds to start my heart again but as soon as I did, I looked down. I was flying. I opened my mouth to scream –though I knew it wasn't a good idea- but a hand covered it before I could. I noticed a man's arm wrapped around my waist and a body pressed up against my back. I turned my head as far as I could around and saw that it was Nathan. He looked at me, smiled, and took his hand back.
We flew about a few miles –or at least that's what it felt like- down the road in the direction we were supposed to be driving. I noticed sitting off to the side of the road, a car that had just then turned its lights on. It drove onto the road and I saw the driver's side window roll down. An arm came out and was waving at us. It was Peter.
"I thought you were dead," Nathan said, his voice raised so I could hear him as the air rushed by. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. "But I was kind of…dead."
"What?" Nathan asked.
"There's something about my ability that I didn't really tell anyone," I explained. "I never really thought it could come in good use until tonight."
"What?" Nathan asked again.
"I'll explain later," I told him. "Why aren't we going down to Peter?"
"We're going to meet each other at the hotel you're staying at," Nathan explained. "We'll get everything situated there and drop you off, then move on to the next hotel and drop more of us off, etcetera, etcetera…"
"Where are Heidi and the kids?" I asked since Nathan had left his car behind.
"They're crammed in the car with Peter, my mom, and Claire," Nathan said.
I laughed a little then relaxed and enjoyed the flight. I could see the whole forest on both sides of the road and I could see buildings up ahead a few more miles.
We finally got to the hotel that I was supposedly going to stay at. As Nathan and I landed, Peter and the rest of the fam' pulled into the driveway and parked near the front door. Only Peter got out.
"October," he said while walking over to me. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay," I said. "All my stuff is in my car."
"Nathan and I will go back later to get the cars," he said.
"Yeah, Heidi's wheel chair is in the trunk," Nathan said. "But after we all get some rest, we're going to get together and discuss what happened."
"Okay," I said and waved to the mass of people in the car. They all must have been watching us because all of them waved back. "Get some sleep."
"You too," Nathan said. "You'll be okay in there?"
"I hope so," I said. "I should be."
Peter looked around as if to make sure no one else was watching. "From now, until we head back home," he explained, "you'll be known as Rebecca Gee. Well, that's the name your room is in."
"Alright, thanks," I said yawning. "All of you get some sleep and call me when you figure out what we're going to do."
"Okay," Peter said and hugged me. "But I want you to change your appearance, at least until we get back home."
"Can do," I said and we let go. "I'll see you guys later."
Peter walked back to the car and got into the drivers side, while Nathan glanced around the parking lot, and shot up into the sky. I smiled as I walked through the sliding doors to the hotel, realizing how awesome my superhero-like family was.
Another chapter up soon! And I thank everyone who has stuck with me through this. Please leave reviews for me!
