Chapter 13

The girl was lying still on the bed until Lexi walked in when she pulled her legs in close to her.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just here to talk to you."

"You're eyes were… but that's impossible… I was told-"

"Let me guess you were told you were the only one?" the girl nodded slowly. "Well you're not and I'm sorry about it."

"Sorry about what?" suddenly the doorbell went and Lexi held her hand out to the girl.

"Some people have come to take you to a safe place." Lexi smiled at the girl.

"Sophia," she said.

"What?"

"My name it's Sophia."

"Well Sophia. I'll be seeing you again someday." The girl took her hand and shook it then Lexi let her leave. The girl ran down the stairs quickly with Lexi walking behind her. By the time Lexi got to the bottom floor she had already gone. Lexi opened the door to find Quinn and Ash cleaning up the window.

"Why are we doing this and not you seeing as you're the one that went through it?" Ash asked.

"Because I went through it and I'm too injured to help," Lexi mocked looking to the driveway. She saw Sophia walking away with a young man. Lexi looked at the man and realised she recognised him. Turist was dragging the girl to a bus that had just pulled in. "Hey!" she screamed at him.

"What's wrong?" Quinn asked. Lexi turned to him.

"He's not here from the circle he's here from my father." She set off running straight away. She heard Quinn and Ash's footsteps behind her as she ran after Turist. He picked the girl up in one arm and ran to the bus all the time she was screaming. He jumped on and stared at the driver. Lexi could see he was compelling him to drive. As she reached the bus the doors closed and the buss driver sped off leaving people on the bus screaming. Quinn and Ash caught up with her just as she started chasing the bus again. She ran along side it for a while but found that if she wanted to stop it she'd have to stop it in front. She took a large breath in and put all her effort into running in front of the bus. She stopped dead a few metres away from the front and started pushing wind at it. She heard more screams from inside the bus as her eyes turned green and he hair lifted. She used al of her powers to push and eventually stopped the bus. She sighed quickly and ran to the doors. She tried to get the driver to open the doors put he wouldn't so instead she blew them open with the wind and ran on board. She sprinted up the stairs followed by Quinn and Ash and when they reached the top she saw Turist jump through a window. More people were screaming as Lexi's eyes had not changed. Lexi jumped out of the front window she saw Turist run towards a car. She raced for it but he started driving off before she reached him. She was about to run after the car when she felt something hit her on the head. I stunned her for a moment and she turned to see a tall blonde haired woman stood with a large metal pipe. Lexi grabbed the pipe and threw it into the bushes nearby. The woman smiled then quickly transformed. Lexi froze as in the woman's place a large eagle formed and flew into the air behind the car. Lexi turned and watched the car go away. "I am going to kill him." Quinn and Ash joined her in the middle of the road.

"Not before me," Ash said. Quinn put his hand on his shoulder and they all turned to the bus.

"What are we going to do about them?" Quinn asked.

"Let's leave them for my dad to sort them out. It's his fault this all happened." Lexi started walking towards the house. As she passed the bus an old woman's head appeared over the railing.

"Elexis." Lexi looked up to the old woman. Lexi saw the woman once again had a green aura. "If you truly want to know what you are. Ask your father." The face then disappeared then Lexi heard shouts from the bus. Lexi didn't know what she was doing but the next thing she knew she was jumping onto the top deck of the bus. The old woman was lying on the floor shaking just as Sophia had. An old man was yelling at her and batting her away but she ignored him and dropped to the woman's side. This time she couldn't feel a pulse.

"Someone call an ambulance!" she yelled. Suddenly Quinn and Ash were behind her.

"Is she okay?" Quinn asked while Ash started moving people backwards.

Lexi shook her head, "there's no pulse but I think I know what to do." Lexi was about to let her power out again but Quinn stopped her.

"You've already used it too much today, you'll end up hurting yourself."

"I don't care Quinn! This is my fault and I'm going to fix it!" Lexi's power suddenly exploded out of her and into the old woman's body. Lexi heard a cry behind her.

"Mommy, she's doing it again!" it was the cry of a little girl. Lexi ignored all the screams and the voices as sirens added to the noise. Lexi focused on the woman until she finally let out a gasp of air. Lexi sighed and controlled her power again. She closed her eyes for a few moments and calmed herself. Then she looked up to the old man.

"She's fine now." Lexi stood up in a shaky way and found everyone had gone quiet. Lexi stood up and headed towards the stairs. As she did she felt a large gust of wind. Lexi turned around to see a man stood at the end of the bus. Lexi stared at the man as she moved back to the front of the crowd. Lexi watched as the man scanned everyone on the bus. His eyes stopped when they reached her. She felt a cold chill in her head but ignored it as she watched the man. "Who are you?" Lexi froze as the man spoke at the exact same time as her. "What are you doing?" Lexi looked at Quinn and Ash who were stood either side of her. By this time there were voices from downstairs.

"Everyone get downstairs now," Quinn said. They found that the man copied Quinn as well.

"Dude he's doing it to you now," Ash said. The man repeated it again. "And me."

"When did he get here?" Lexi asked ignoring his repetition.

"I don't know when we were heading for the stairs I think." A policeman appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Is anyone hurt?" he asked. The man repeated his words as well.

"Officer get everyone of this bus now." Lexi said it calmly.

"Who are you?" the officer asked Lexi. The man repeated it again.

"Guys this is getting kind of creepy now." Ash said.

"Who are you?" the man repeated.

"I said get everyone down stairs." Lexi looked at the man who stood still. "Now!" she yelled again. The man turned to her.

"Excuse me."

"Honestly just get everyone downstairs. This man is dangerous and he could hurt people." Lexi realised he had stopped copying her and was now just staring at her.

"Okay everyone downstairs," the officer said. Everyone quickly ran downstairs. Lexi looked over the side and saw that the other day breakers were stood below the bus.

What's happening up there? Lexi heard. Thierry was staring directly at her just like the man in front of her.

Suddenly he started talking, "You've been a very bad girl miss Boutelle. Or should I say Redfern?" The man then sent three wooden knives straight towards Lexi's chest.
