15.
We ran, we ran and we ran through the halls of the palace. I had no idea where we were and I don't think Harry knew either. No matter what way we took, left or right, all the walls looked the same. We were lost, that was certain.
I was running behind Harry. Even now he was carrying Danny, he was running like he was air to him.
'Harry?' a little voice suddenly asked. Harry stopped abruptly and I almost ran into him.
'You're awake!' Harry said with a big smile on his face and turned around to me. I too couldn't repress the grin on my face when I heard his voice. We just arrived at some sort of courtyard. Harry looked around. We had been running for ages so it was safe enough to stop for a moment. He put Danny down on the floor and sat beside him.
'How are you feeling? Any pain?' he asked
'Nothing I can't handle' Danny said winking. Then his eyes slowly met mine and he smiled.
His gorgeous blue eyes, his breath taking smile,.. My heart skipped a few beats.
'Thanks' he said
'What for?' I asked confused
'For yelling I should get up' his smile became even wider
'But..'
'Yeah, that's right. I heard your thoughts back then. And they were the reason I stood up again'
'You can hear thoughts?' I asked with an open mouth and I saw Harry was surprised as well. Maybe Danny heard his thoughts too?
'If I want to, yes. I don't know how or why I suddenly have more powers than normal'
'Danny mate' harry said while laying down his hand on Danny's shoulder. 'We need to have a talk'
Harry told Danny everything. That he's the child of a premonition made 50 years ago. That he's meant for a bigger purpose and that's why he has more powers than the rest of them. And that they know that the premonition was about him because of his healing powers.
Through the story Danny listened attentive and stayed silent for a while after, taking everything in.
'So.. me hearing thoughts, seeing people when they're invisible, flames coming out of my hands and appearing in other's mind are all extra powers because of that?'
'That's right' Harry said smiling
'Do I have more?'
'I don't know, no one knows. You can only find out by..'
But Harry's sentence was interrupted by a woman's voice.
'Well well well, what do we have here?'
Harry immediately stood up and stood before Danny who was too weak to fight again. I sat down beside Danny and looked at the woman.
'She had black hair and purple eyes. She too had a lot of freckles in her face just like Danny. Actually the two looked a bit alike to be honest.
'What do you want Vicky?' Harry asked cold
'What happened to greetings and manners Harry? Don't we have them anymore?' She said with a fake sad face and that made Harry furious.
He created an electric ball and threw it at her but she dodged it.
'You were so much more fun before you met that loser Dougie' she said. 'Is he worth it? Is he worth all the loss you're about to have?'
'He is' Harry said with his teeth pressed together
'Alright, than I have no reason to go easy on you' she said and started attacking with ice and snow powers. That confused me because isn't that the power of Eve? Danny saw my questioned face.
'She's adaptable' he explained. 'She can take over the power of someone standing around her in a range of 10 meters. But she can only take one at the time'
The fight with Harry and Vicky continued for a while longer but I was more worried about Danny. He was still bleeding and losing a lot of blood. He was becoming paler and paler by the minute. I held his hand and caress over his cheek.
'Don't worry' he said. 'I'll be fine'
'I'll believe that when we get out of here'
In the mean time Harry was still fighting but he got distracted when he saw Danny so weak and pale and that's when Vicky saw her chance and froze him in a ball of ice. The fight was over and Vicky laughed evil before walking towards us.
I quickly got up and stood before Danny.
'Get out of the way moron or do I have to freeze you too?'
I swallowed and collected all of the courage I had in me. It's my time to be brave and finally help instead of being a burden.
'I'm not going anywhere' I said strong, trying to hide the fear in my voice.
'Tom' Danny suddenly said and I turned to him. He was slowly getting up and helped himself by holding the wall. 'You can't fight her'
'But neither can you!' I yelled frustrated
'Do what he says human or suffer the consequences' Vicky said and I gave her an angry look because she interfered with our conversation. She had to repress her smile.
'Go get help, I'll keep her busy' Danny said and I turned to him again
'I can't just leave you!'
'You have to, there is no other solution'
'But..'
'Please Tom?'
I sighed. 'Ok, I'll go get help'
'Thanks' Danny said and kissed me softly. 'I love you, don't forget that'
'I love you the most' I said and he smiled
'Now go!'
I quickly ran back the way we came from.
'Are you done being sentimental?' I could hear Vicky ask
'Yeah, I'm done' Danny replied cold
'Alright than little brother of mine, let's fight!'
