077; did it work

Zach's POV:

This sucked. I hated being under the control of Thomas. It was probably the second worst thing that happened to me today.

Being mind controlled was weird. It was like I head control over what I thought and what I spoke but all my movements were limited to what he wanted me to do. If I tried to move my arm, it wouldn't move. But when Thomas wanted me to move my arm, it would move. I'm like a puppet.

I saw Gabbie was now in his grasp as he let go of Christina. I assumed he can only hold two of us without exerting himself.

Gabbie froze Jack and everyone waited for someone to move. I couldn't because Thomas wasn't controlling anything to make me move at the moment. I just hope they have figured out a plan.

Suddenly my arm was lifted up and I started using my telekinesis on Jonah who was currently healing Corbyn at the moment. He wasn't even fully healed when I shoved Jonah off of him. Corbyn still had a huge gash on his chest, bleeding out.

"Someone get to Corbyn!" Daniel yelled from the sidelines where he held Sofia and Milo squatted next to them.

Jonah was to far off in the distance as he groaned and pushed himself off the floor. Milo started towards Corbyn but I flung him back.

"I'm sorry." I muffled out as I felt my legs carry me closer to Corbyn's body. He looked drained, sweat edging his hairline and the color of his face slowly fading.

"You guys are really just giving up like that?" Thomas laughed, eyes still bright red which annoyed that crap out of me. "Little Zach here flings you backwards and you can't get to your dying friend? How pathetic."

I stayed silent, tears slowly slipping from my eyes. All I wanted to do was to pass out. I'm filled with exhaustion and couldn't care less if I just passed away right now.

My legs and arms were tired, my joints ached. I could already feel my body trying to shut down from all the power usage I did today. My eye lids got heavy as I kept them open. I think the only thing keeping
me from passing out was Thomas. Once he let go of me I bet I would drop.

Thomas brought me closer to him, along with Gabbie. I gave her a small smile and she returned one. I felt bad for her as I glanced over to Jack frozen in the corner.

It kind of hit me once more that people were watching. They all stayed back, which is a good thing. But I need to get the force field back up. I can't though, I've tried but it's useless if I'm still being controlled by Thomas.

"Come on, take your best shot guys!" Thomas yelled as they grouped. They were all next to each other now, well everyone except Corbyn who was still bleeding out. They silently whispered a plan between their lips. I hope they could figure out a way soon because I don't want to keep hurting them.

"Fine, but we are going to win Thomas!" Sofia yelled. She was now awake and good as new. Just like always, she took the lead.

"In your dreams." Thomas smirked before using me to use my telekinesis on them. Luckily they all dove out of the way, so none of them got flung back.

"Jack now!" Sofia shouted as Jack came from the right and his eyes were lit up purple. He focused on the man behind me, Thomas. I knew he was trying to trapped him in a hallucination.

"Zach once Jack gets ahold of Thomas put the force field back up." Jonah said to me from the left.

I let out a small sigh, "I think I might pass out if I get out of Thomas' hold."

Jonah shook his head, "Please don't. Hold on a little longer. Whatever it takes, think about your family, friends, think about Alexa. Think about her being alive again."
