Chapter 31

I screamed, struggling. I was temporarily stopping my powers, but the sun wouldn't let me. I was literally having an "internal conflict." The sun ignored my request for her to stop my powers, but she decided to help me out. She overrode "Leech" and stopped the plants from choking Jack. The sun grew a gigantic leaf catching Jack and he gently slid down, unconscious, again. The sunbeams stopped flowing into me, and my mother left my body. And I slowly sunk into the ground, smoke rising from me.

I slowly sunk into the dirt, it almost seeming like quicksand. Except dirt. Quick dirt. The ground swallowed me, and I couldn't breathe. I was forced to start breathing in the warm limited oxygen, but soon it ran out, and I passed out. I felt some clutter in my head elevate from my head. I saw a glimpse of a dark figure looming over me, as I closed my eyes and the dirt covered it.

In a panic my body forced me to make a move. I forced an oak tree to sprout up, and gigantic roots pulled the dirt apart, making more room for me lay comfortably. The roots transported oxygen inside the room so I could breathe.

I stumbled up, taking in what was going on. I could have sworn I was sinking in quick dirt a minute ago. I felt the roots on the walls, the root immediately growing thicker and longer with tinier roots growing off of it. I gasped jumping backwards. Then smiled and "lightened up." Hehe.

I walked into the center of the small circular room, took a deep breath sliding my eyes closed. I twirled around quickly over and over, somehow breathing deeply still, and not rapidly. I raised my hands slowly up a little, drawing my hands apart, ignoring the dirt and rocks crumbling down all around me. The light shone through more. It didn't affect my roots, of course, but my skin absorbed the sunlight strengthening my weak body.

I suddenly opened my eyes and rose my hands up quickly. A column of swirling roots lifted me up. The roots soon melted away however, and the dirt filled the hole, leaving me standing firmly on the ground, and I glared at the figure, which was not a silhouette anymore. He looked just like how he looked when I met him; only his clothing was different.

Unlike his usual T-shirt and jeans, he was wearing a completely back outfit. With shoulder armor, leg armor, chest armor, back armor, and a helmet that were all a shiny black color, with textured horizontal lines like a leech's skin has. His collar was almost like a turtle neck's would be, except that it was a half an inch away from his neck. There was something in between the collar and his neck but I couldn't see what it was. His neck was covered with the leech-black armor.

The warm breeze blew my hair and my green vine highlights towards him, and his bangs also blew back a little as well. He took a step forwards, smirking arrogantly. I closed my eyes, sadly. I knew it was, but I didn't really want to believe it was him. And I definitely didn't want to hurt him, because…

"Hello Caleb." I looked up at him.

Because he was my best friend's brother.

"Hello Lizzy. Long time no see, eh?"
