SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 34

CHAPTER 34

Case and I walk into the dining room for breakfast. Everybody else is already there. We sit down and fix our plates and start eating. We all talk and make jokes, but nobody mentions yesterday.

"Listen” I finally say “I was upset yesterday I'm sorry for making you all worry about me, but I’ve decided there's no way I'm going to sit here afraid. I'm a World Keeper. I fight that's my life I keep others safe. I'm not going to stop fighting I can't. Anything that wants me will have to fight to get me. That means Harris you and I have a lot of work to do. Evidently, I have powers that we don't know about yet. We have to find out what they are and how to use them. I've been thinking if the demons and Satan wants me, so they can get to my powers I must have some really strong powers we need to find out what they are.”

Summer speaks next “I don't think this is a good idea. It’s best if you just stay hid away until we can think of some way to get you purified.”

“I'm sorry Summer, I don't want to make you worry. I've already lost everything I’ve ever known. I’m just now starting to feel comfortable in my new life. So please don’t ask me to change my life all over again.”

“I agree with Lana” Harris states, “I think Lana should keep doing all the things she has been doing. She doesn’t need to hide. If she has the kinds of powers, the demons seem to believe she does she needs to know what they are and how to use them. The more she knows the safer she will be.”

“I’ll help you train” Lisa says.

“I will too” Cain replies.

“You know I’ll back you with whatever you want to do” Case states.

“Summer would you help me too? Please?" I beg. I really need to know she understands.

“Honey I’ll always be beside you. If this is what you want, then this is what we will do.”

“Thank you everyone.  This means a lot to me knowing you'll all help me. Now I’m starving" I say as I go back to eating. I devour more food than I have in days. I sit back rubbing my stomach laughing at all the food I put away. “Well, if I keep eating like this, I may get so fat that nobody knows who I am. Even if they did I'd be too heavy for them to carry off.”

Harris laughs and says, “guess we'd better get started we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

We all changed into workout clothes and meet in the gym. Over the next couple weeks, we work with no luck. We aren’t any closer to finding out any of my new powers than we had been when we first started. We have given up for the day, we are all sitting around grumbling trying to decide what it’s going to take to wake up my dormant powers. Out of nowhere the gym doors come crashing down. They land half way across the gym. In walks six of the biggest demons I have ever seen. Everybody jumps to their feet at the same time. The fighting starts everywhere the demons have something in their hands I can’t tell what it is because no demon has gotten close to me. I watch Lisa go down first. It’s a syringe they are fucking poisoning us. Cain and Harris go down next.  I take off at a full run towards the demons. I see Case go down, and I scream loud as I feel my heart breaking as I see the people I love die before my eyes. My anger is growing heat is consuming my body within seconds my whole body feels like it is on fire. I scream out in agony as the fire inside me over takes both my arms. I believe my brain is melting, my anguish causing another tormented scream to leave my mouth. Something is about to happen I feel it building my arms proceed to extend out in front of me of their own accord once they reach a ninety degree angle red and blue flams shoot from my fingers hitting two of the demons burning them to ashes in seconds while at the same time releasing some of the heat from my suffering body. I scream again. Not sure what is happening to me.

 My eyes shoot to the other demons one at a time while my mind wishes them dead watching as each one explodes in front of my eyes sending body parts flying everywhere. I stand their dazed by what all just happened. “Snap out of it Lana we will deal with what you just did later” Summer screams pulling my attention back to the here and now as she runs falling to the floor in front of Harris. “He’s alive his pules is strong” she tells me crying as she hugs his body to hers. I run to Case checking his pules his to is beating strong. We check on Cain and Lisa, and find they are alive as well. It doesn’t take long until they all regained consciousness almost at the same time. They look around seeing the demons are gone.

“Don't look at me” Summer says “it was all Lana I do believe she has found her hidden powers.”
Summer goes about explaining what had happened while I stand there stunned and bewildered about what took place. Everybody is watching me I’m not sure if they are scared or proud they have more of an appearance of being baffled which I understand completely.

“Fuck…have we been invaded again" Cain screams and everyone overcomes their surprised features jumping to their feet at once. We all take off running at the same time but before we get to far the Angle named Michael steps into the gym blocking our path.

“Calm down please” he demands “you have nothing to fear. It was a test. The council has been watching you the last two weeks with Lana. We decided it was time to up the ant’y on her, we knew if she thought she was losing the people she loves it would push her beyond her safe spot bringing her hidden powers front and center.”

Harris comes forward. His voice starts out calm but grows in volume with each word. Before he stops speaking he was yelling. “How could you do what you did to us? You drugged us. Knocked us out, my daughter thought we were dead! You’re fucking angels, the good guys you’re supposed to save people not scare them to death! What right do any of you have to play with people's lives you’re not God. You don’t have the right to do whatever you want any time you want.”

The Angel speaks “You are wrong Harris. We have every right to do whatever we want. We have to make sure no demons ever get into the Keepers' World again. We also have to make sure Lana can protect herself from demons. If a demon ever got hold of her powers the effects it would have would be unthinkable. We are trying to help Lana, we are working on a way to purify her. However, I will tell you this before we let demons kill her and take her powers.  We will end her life ourselves."

“How dare you, if you ever touch my daughter, I’ll kill you-all…do understand me?” Harris booms!

“Harris I will overlook your words because I know you are upset and worried about your daughter. Take that anger and put it to a better use by working at increasing her powers.  Now that you know what they are.” The Angel says right before he fads away.
