The Savior (Third book to the Beings Who Care Series)

Chapter 33

We land in Rome and I'm in awe of the beauty. I look around me to see the view from every angle. Suddenly Mikaela bumps my shoulder and snaps me out of my daze. She walks us through a little olive farm and then to the little house that runs the farm. She knocks on the door lightly and it squeaks open with a little old man standing behind it. He first looks at MIkaela and he grows a smile, then he notices all the rest of us and nods to Mikaela as she pushes her way in. She walks over to the other side of the little house and picks up a knick knack off the wall that opens a staircase, located beneath the rug. She motions for us to follow her and I follow close behind, the same with the rest of the guys. We all file down the stairway quietly, we are all excited to see what this HQ looks like and what technology it possesses. We reach the bottom and a woman dressed in all white meets us with a smile, her dark hair neatly placed in a French Knot and her dress suit spotless,

"Hello and welcome, this is The Gifted HQ, Mikaela who are your friends?" She asks with a simple smile.

Mikaela pulls me into a side hug, "This one is Anabelle  and she's come for her challenge but she wants to do it with her whole family. I thought she could test out the new technology we have."

The woman slightly bows to me, "It is an honor to meet you, I am Sara, please follow me."

We do as she asks and she leads us through the very white HQ, it's almost completely white and everything is spotless, I feel like a dirty rag in this place. Sara leads us to a giant clear box that has nothing in it, just a hand scanner in front of the doors that lead into it. I recognise the hand scanner. Sara stops in front of the hand scanner,

"This will be what allows you into your mind, but if you want everyone to go into your mind, Anabelle, you must be the first to scan and everyone after must scan their hands before she enters the machine, You must all enter at the same time. Now Anabelle, once you step in here we will trigger the power in you, it will be difficult to defeat, do you understand?"

I nod slowly and she continues,

"Good, now as it is going on, do not fall asleep, I will repeat, Anabelle DO NOT fall asleep, if you do you will die and although you have several lives," she gets quiet and I understand. If I fall asleep I die along with everyone else. "Anyway the power inside of you should be weak enough since we caught it before full power." She walks over to the scanner, "Are you ready?"

She stares at me and I can't help but smile a little bit, "Well it can't be much worse than what I've dealt with before, so sure."

She looks at me with a little smile and motions to the scanner, "Well then you're first, Anabelle." I step up to the scanner and it lights up for me with all my stats, even some that my scanner at home don't show.Speed=SoundWater=PerfectAir=Perfect Fire=PerfectEarth=PerfectPhysic=GreatLives=24Jewel?=Yes, Diamond

I stare at the stats, I have 24 lives? Crap, that's a lot. I stare at jewel, my mother told me that I was the jewel, I still don't understand what that means but apparently I am the diamond. I look at Sara and she opens the doors to the big clear box for me. I slowly walk in as I see my family scan their hands one by one, each entering and standing next to me after entering the box. I watch as Masky scans his hand and he slowly walks up next to me, grabbing my hand. I've never been so nervous before. If I screw up I kill everyone I care about, I hope today isn't an off day. Mikaela is the last to scan her hand before entering. Once she's in the box Sara closes the doors and stands in front of the computer.

"I'm entering in the code to allow the power to be unleashed, you will all see the same thing and a rapid change in the area will occur once it is unleashed. Ready?" She doesn't give us time to answer when the area surrounding us disappears and transforms into something different, a meadow filled with flowers. We stand around in wonder when the sky quickly changes to night and the moon is covered with clouds. A gust of large wind comes out of nowhere and we hear insane laughing. I rapidly look around at everyone to see that they're getting ready to fight my power. They all want to fight for me? They're crazy but I guess that's why I love them. I get into fighting position and quickly realize the power I'm fighting is...myself. I look at myself confused, it's not my normal dark form. She's dressed in what looks like the dress I wore when I first took Masky's mask off but with blood dripping from every corner of the dress. I look to see my whole family confused. As I look around I see Masky run towards me and a pain go through my core. I fall over and put my hands on my stomach, I feel the warm ooze of blood on my hands and I stand up, easier than expected. I draw the plants from the ground and they pull the other me down, she quickly burns it and I clench my fists as the hole in my stomach heals itself. The others attack it with full force, drawing it off gaurd. Lucas tries to hold her down with earth as Jeff and Jack work together to cut her, I fall over in the pain. It then dawns on me. I tell Lucas to keep her held down as long as possible and pull everyone else into a quick talk,

"When you guys hurt her it hurts me." I say.

They all look at me worried, "So what do we do?" Masky asks.

I hear lucas, "She breaking out!" He yells and Mikaela runs over to help.

"This is my head right?" They all nod and I continue, "Then I can't be harmed, I healed my stomach perfectly in an instant. So I was thinking," I tell them all what I was planning when another shard of ice pierces my leg. They disperse and go along with the plan. They back up leaving me with myself. My leg heals itself and I breathe slowly for what I'm about to do.
