2 MONTHS LATER
Austin is doing a heck of a lot better. He has been out of the hospital for a while. He still has the scar on his right lower rib, but he doesn't mind. We told the police who stabbed Austin, and at the same time, who raped me. Jake is now gone to Juvenile prison. He is there for about 1 year, we don't know. But, they might have to put him more, because they had the police dogs sniff out his locker, and found illegal drugs, Marawana, and Cocaine. With Jake out of the way, I'm safe. My mother has ordered a lot of stuff for the new baby arriving. I am excited, yet scared.
One morning, while I was walking down the hall with my hand in Austin's hand, I saw one of the senior friends of Jake's. He saw me and Austin, and went into his coat pocket. I was confused, why did he reach into his coat pocket? My question was answered when he pulled out a black, shiny, Handgun.
He shot up at the ceiling getting attention to students, to let them know he had a handgun.
He then was yelling "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND!!!" I was so scared. I couldn't move to the ground. Austin was on the ground, pulling my arm. I couldn't move. I stayed standing up.
He looked at me and pointed at me with the gun and yelled "HEY YOU! GET ON THE GROUND NOW!" he then stopped and looked at me. "WAIT A SECOND! YOUR JAKE'S EX GIRLFRIEND!" he chuckled. "YOU PUT JAKE IN JUVI! YOU DESERVE A BULLET TO YOUR HEAD! AND YOU!" he pointed his gun at Austin. "YOU FOUGHT WITH HIM!" he chuckled. "ANOTHER ONE TO SHOOT IN THE HEAD!" he said and his finger got tighter on the trigger. I saw his finger pull the trigger, but I felt a force inside me try to defend myself. All of a sudden I hear the bullet shooting out of the gun, but I didn't feel anything, and I didn't hear the groan from Austin either. I opened my eyes, and a huge bubble, that repelled the bullet, surrounded Austin and me! it was a force field! Had I made this?! And if I did, how did I!? Austin stared at me in shock. Then, the gunman dropped his gun and ran. I stopped my force field and put it around the gunman, and it made him stop. And then, I picked up the gun, and held it.
"SOMEONE GET THE PRINCIPAL!" I yelled. And everyone rushed to the principal's office. Then, I explained about the incident to the principal. He called the cops, and they arrested the gunman. They also took the gun. And luckily, Austin and me were okay. We went through the rest of the school day regularly. But, when we walked home, Austin and me talked about the incident.
"Gabbie! How did you learn so quick?!" Austin said. I was confused.
"What do you mean, learn so quick?" I asked. We walked hand in hand. His grip tightened like he didn't want me to know something.
He sighed and said "Gabbie, your just like me. We are different. That stone you picked up, it's a power stone. And, whoever touches it, you get a burn, and a rush of energy through you. You then have these powers. To do ANYTHING. THAT'S how you made the force field today. I can do it too. And, I was going to use my power to block you and me from the bullet, but I noticed you already had that covered. Gabbie, try to keep your powers to a minimum, okay? The reason I say that, is because, there are people out there, that have these powers too. But, they use them for evil. We use them for good, and for OUR and other people's protection. So what I'm saying is, be careful. Someone could notice. And they can kill you Gabbie. They have this device they put in you. It gets rid of your powers first of all, and then second of all, it kills you. So, just in case you still have the stone, you cannot get your powers back. They only want THEM to have the powers. Just be careful. Please. I love you Gabbie, and I don't want anything to happen to you when I turn my back." He said and kissed me.
"If when I got the stone into my hands I got power, then why did I feel so weak after it happened? And how do YOU know that I had the stone, and touched it?" I asked.
"Well, first of all, the stone gives you weakness at first, so then you gain all the power. Its mainly because the burn didn't give you power. Its like a liquid medicine, or Advil. You take it, but it doesn't work right away, it has to spread, and the stone takes a while to spread. And second of all, I knew you touched the stone, because I saw your hand when you were being carried in the stretcher. And third of all, I have ANY power I want, so I watch on you sometimes when you're not with me. I care for you Gabbie. Except, I turn the watch off when you take a shower or get changed. Don't worry." He said with a laugh and a smile.
"Oh…ok." I said. And laughed at his last sentence.
"OH! Do you still have the stone with you?" He asked curiously.
"OH! Yah! I do! Its right here in my backpack!" I said. And I searched through my backpack and carefully picked it up.
"Don't worry, once you have the power, the stone doesn't burn you anymore." He said and I nodded my head. I gave him the stone. He would be more careful than I would. He looked at it a bit. "its been damaged a bit since last time I had it."
"When did you…Become…Powered?" I asked, not sure how to say it.
"Oh, about 6 months before you did. And I've been attacked by the S.C.A about 10 times. They are strong." He said.
"What does S.P.A stand for?" I asked.
"Stone Power Association." He said as he studied the stone. "When I had the stone, I had a friend that was like us, and he told me about what is happening to me. But, the S.P.A captured him. And…killed him." He said with a frown. "But, then, I was almost captured, and i got the stone. Ive been looking for it since. And now you have it, and you are one too." He said with a smile "ill do whatever it takes to keep you safe Gabbie. I will. I love you." He said with a smile. And we stopped walking, and he pulled me gently to him, and it started to rain beautifully. We both looked up at the sky, and then looked at each other and our hair getting all soaked. We kissed each other ever so passionately. "I love you too" I whispered in his ear and then went back to passionately kissing him. I wanted to stay there in the rain, me in his arms, kissing him passionately, Forever.
