Mixed Fates

Chapter 7.

Flashback.

My body is bursting with magic, so much different magic. Only a small part is my own.

My own? What does that mean?

I look down at my hands, my tiny hands. They are covered in blood. I look around and there are bodies laying all over the ground. They look like ghosts, they’re faces are blue and almost white. I don’t feel scared, I feel powerful, I feel content and like this is what I want to do. I move my new magic to my fingers and this visible electricity flies from my fingers.

End of flashback.

I feel tears burning at the back of my mind. I don’t remember my life before I found my mom in the woods but now I know I have been repressing those memories. The boy is still just staring at me and I don’t feel the sadness anymore but just blinding hatred and anger for anyone in here. I want to burn them all!

I walk up to the boy that doesn't even flinch, I hear them bark something at me through the monitors but I ignore them. I grab him by the shoulder and feel his magic and without even thinking about it I suck his magic out. Then when the last of his magic flowed over to me, I took my hand off his shoulder because next would be to crush his heart. I don’t even think about it, I just let his magic mix with mine and then I coat it all over my skin.

“Mia stop what you are doing”

I don’t even hear them anymore as I just let my magic run free over my body, I lift up my arms and tilt my head back. The magic is hugging me but at the same time not touching me. I feel myself sink a little down so I look down and the white pillow material under my feet is melted down to nothing. I smile and start walking towards the door. I want out. They yell something at me but I am not in control anymore. The magic is telling me where to go and what to do. A dart gun comes out of the wall and for a split second I was terrified that I would be put to sleep again but no the dart just exploded before it could hit me. I keep walking and burst the door open. The people are ready, with sweat running down their faces from the heat. They have their guns raised.

“Mia, back up and turn your magic off and we will forget about this”

I smile at them but without a word I jump at them. The shots keep coming but none of them can get through my fire. I put my hand on the shoulder of one of them but they have no magic.

Fuck.

I don't even enjoy watching him melt away. I jump on the next one. The next one also has no magic.

Shit.

They start running out of the door, without a thought my body follows them. I am like an animal looking for their next meal. I am one with my magic. The alarm is on and people are running away from me on both sides. People are not trying to fight me, just run away.

Cowards.

I start running away from the room they keep us in. I don't know why but I just know I want to get as far away as I can from it. I catch up to a woman and her scream is like a lovely symphony

in my ears but again she has no magic. I scream in her face while she melts away and its like nothing I have ever seen, it is nothing like in the movies but thank the lord I can not smell it. I start running again. The melting of the floor keeps me from running at full speed but I see the end. If I can burst through the wall then I am outside and I can refuel my magic with the nature. Without slowing down I run against the wall slamming all my body and weight on it but it only cracked. I start screaming again and start to kick and punch the wall but I can feel that my ribs broke with the slam so there is not as much power in these punches as I would want and that makes me even more angry. After a little while I was past the pipes and the stone in the wall but as I punch through the wall my hand did not meet air and sun but just dirt. My already broken arm broke even more. I scream out of the pain and my magic runs through my body trying to heal me but my magic is not the most skilled at healing. I pull my arm out and look in the hole but there is only dirt.

We are underground.

I would need to dig out of here but who knows how far down we are.

This is not happening.

I can’t breathe.

“Come to me and I will make you feel better.”

“Come to me, I will hold you”

“Come to me and I will keep you safe”

Someone is singing.

I turn around and there are three people. One woman in the front and I bet she is the one singing. Her voice sounds even smoother than moms. She would not be lying. She really cares about me.

“Come to me and I will heal you”

“Come to me and I will make it all better”

I can feel the rage and hatred in my heart ease. I turn fully around. She lifts up her arms. Welcoming me to her embrace. I need to go to her.

My magic calms down and I feel it move from my skin to just inside me, fully focusing on healing me now. I take a step closer to them and my whole entire body screams out in agony. I have broken bones and some torn muscles but I don't care. I want so much to be in her arms.

“Come here and everything will be okey”

“Come here and I will save you from all harm”

“Come here and it will be all over”

I make it almost all the way into her arms. I am so focused on her that I don't even see the men behind her. I don't care, I just want to believe her and I want her to make it all better. I can't do anything else but just believe her. I lift up my arms but have to drop my right one down again since my shoulder is not liking it. Right before I am about to drop into her arms, I see from the side of my eye the man on the side smile and I know this smile.

I stop. I don't move. That smile, I know it. There is a memory trying to come into the front of my brain but her voice is the only thing I see and hear.

“Only a few more steps”

She sings but then I look in her face really and the memory pops into my head.

She came to collect me to my pack. She took me away from mom!

Not a second too late I throw myself back a little and a dart from the man to the side hits the wall. His gun raised in my face.

“YOU i***t! I HAD HER!”

The woman screams and her face turns to him, I take the opportunity and jump at her touching her bare skin on her face and start to suck out her magic. She screams like I just poured acid on her but right before my fire could coat me again I feel a stab on my right shoulder blade. I can feel her magic flow over to me but it is not strong enough to fight against the mystery liquid.

She throws me off her and to the ground. The man with the gun kicks me in the stomach but I don't really feel it since I am all numb now. My vision gets blurry and then darkness.
