Chapter four: Shatter
Stevies POV
The hours passed slowly. I had taken Alex back to my place and used a healing spell I picked up in Hawaii to clean and close the steadily flowing gash in her leg, she hadn't been coherent enough to talk so I decided to practice some spells which is when I really noticed it. I was practicing a simple levitation charm on a glass of water as I had done so many times before when the glass shot off the table and hit the ceiling with such a force that the people upstairs were lucky the building was made of concrete or they'd be stepping on the remnants of my glass.
"What the hell?" I scolded myself before I stared at my hands and in them I was dumbfounded to find a glowing orb of multiple shades of blue light. I stared at it for a long while until I realized what it was,
"Those are full powers!" I guess the shattering glass had woken Alex, as she was now up and staring in disbelief at the waning object in my palm.
"I know...What the hell?"
"Maybe it has something to do with destroying the power sphere?"
"I guess, but still, what the hell, why would I get them and not Warren?"
"Because you didn't" my heart stopped in my chest when I realized who that voice belonged to as both Alex and I turned around to find none other than my, apparently escaped, brother: Warren.
"What the F*#K are you doing here?" I shouted.
"Well originally I had come to thank you for letting me take the family wizard powers but apparently that wasn't the case!"
"You! I! Wait, what?"
"Ya, I have my full wizard powers, got them just after I woke up," he explained "your brother got hit with them too" he said looking at a rather unsteady Alex.
"HE WHAT NOW?" she exclaimed "how come I don't get my pow-OOF!" Alex tumbled backwards into the sofa she had previously been resting on.
"Alex!" I jumped over to where she had landed only to find her alright and cradling a disappearing yellowish orange ball of power, "are you ok?"
"...Ya, I'm fine," she said in a voice very appropriate for someone who had just been winded and thrown across a room. "I guess that answers my almost question though."
"I suppose it does."
xXx
We continued the day by testing out our new powers, but I could see Alex getting weaker by the minute. I started noticing it when we were practicing a new levitation spell and out of nowhere she just stopped, dropping the chair and stumbling backwards a few steps.
"Alex? Babe? You ok?" I questioned.
"Ya. Ya I'm fine" Alex has never been one to not voice her own discomfort, but I just waved it off as a side effect of the new powers, however when my apartment filled with a shriek of pain I knew this was more than just minor adjusting twinges.
Warren and I rushed to Alex`s side and lifted her on to the nearby couch
"There is no way this is simple growing pains!" Warren shouted over Alex's pained screams. Although he's a geek and I hate to admit it my brother does know more about magic than I do and I guess that means I have to trust him.
"Well what do we do then?" Warren looked at me and then at Alex before questioning if I knew any reason that she might be acting this way. I started to shake my head before I remembered the arrow from the fight with the Wizard Police. Previous to that moment I could only hope that that arrow spell was only a simple wounding charm. Too bad you can't live your life on hope. Before I completed a horizontal shake of my head I told him about our run in with the Wizard Police and after a stern look and very disapproving sigh and headshake warren turned his attention back to the writhing girl in front of us. As he started to remove the bandage the affected area was revealed to be glowing.
"GAHHHHH!" Alex screamed again as the last round of the bandage was removed from the now luminescent neon green patch of torn flesh.
"HOLY SHIT!" Alex blurted as she regained a small droplet of coherence "WHAT THE F*#K?" She started getting up as if to escape from the newly found instalment in this piñata of a wound before both Warren and I pushed her back on to the couch and Warren placed a sedative spell over her. Something I disagreed with on principle but couldn't bring myself to stop either.
For the next forty five minutes Warren spent his time kneeling in front of the couch examining the wound -putting spells, herbs and charms over it - to try and find out what exactly it was. While I sat on the couch to let Alex use me as a pillow.
"Oh CRAP!" Warren exclaimed as a red and white plume of smoke in the shape of a double ended needle formed above his latest test materials. "Stevie you have to get out of here NOW!" he shouted at me.
"What? Why? What did you see?" The generally composed man in front of me had turned into a small boy on a first date as he tried in vain to form coherent sentences.
"Arrow, you, Alex, shot, Wizard Police, UNHEALING TRACKING SPELL!" His string of words was lightening fast but meaningful enough that I was no longer sitting down when he finished. I asked what he meant by the most unnerving point he had made "unhealing tracking spell" to which he explained that the spell was not a simple wounding charm but a tracking one designed to put the receiver in great pain and keep the wound open so as to transmit a clearer signal for the obvious reason of easier capture. That must have been why my healing spell took so long to take effect.
Up until that point in time I had a small amount of faith reserved for the human/wizarding race but this, this was just disgusting, how could someone even think up a design of such inhuman depths. But before I could voice my disgusted opinions to my brother there was the crunch of wood, a flash of blue light and I was on the doorstep of my building with Alex to my left and Warren to hers. I looked at him in confusion before he raised his wand and tapped my head with it, a wave of visions washed over me: Wizarding police entering and tearing through my apartment, dishes being smashed, chairs being toppled, the couch I had been sitting on not two minutes earlier ripped to shreads that now floated in tiny pieces around the dwelling like the deadly ash from a volcano.
Narrator POV
Stevie let out a small gasp before Warren tapped her head again this time urging her to start moving before the Police Wizards realized the apartment did not hold either girl. As she wiped a small tear from her eye Stevie hoisted Alex on to her shoulder fireman style and walked down the front steps of the building a completely different mindset than she'd had that morning. No longer was she a high profile revolution leader, or the girl that vandalized the principal's office, no.
Now she was just Stevie Nichols, and she was on the run.
A/N:...Nope, not too much to say down here if you wanna review go ahead if not don't bother I apozogize for the change of writing stule half way through. If you like Shania Twain's music go check out my other story (it's not Stevex but it's still got Alex in it and its relatively funny) and wow that was a lot to say for having not much to say.
