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

Chapter 34

If I harm myself, I harm her. I've noticed that although she's trying to kill me, every thing she throws at me, hurts her more as long as I remind myself that this doesn't affect me in real life. Every hole that I've healed has left a hole in her because this is her reality. I take another deep breath and let her throw a ball of fire at my heart. I hold my arms spread apart and wait for it to land on me. Once it hits, it doesn't burn, I'm immune to burns and it appears that so is my other self. I hold my hands together and form a diamond, sharp enough to cut with the slightest graze. I look at Masky and he looks at me with fear in his eyes. I know he's scared and I smile gently as I shove the diamond into my heart. It doesn't suck out my insides but it hurts so badly. I cry and fall to the ground. I wipe my eyes and watch as the other me falls down, holding her heart as blood pours out. My chest heals and I stumble to my feet to walk over to her as she barely holds on. I look at her and she just glares at me as blood drips from her mouth,

"What have you done?"

I bend down to her, "Destroying the virus that will wipe out my power."

She reaches out to me, "No," she coughs out blood, "You just destroyed your power."

I stand up quickly and look at her, "No, you're lying, you were going to get too powerful in a few weeks and wipe out my power."

"I am your power, I am your inner self, Sara lied to you. You were going to be the most powerful in two weeks." She slowly begins to drift off and I throw myself back next to her. I flip her over and look at the hole. I try to heal her but it doesn't work. I sob as she closes her eyes and dies. I died, my power died, everything I am just died in my arms, at my cause. I form a diamond with my last bit of power and throw it in a random direction. I hear glass break and I'm back in reality, I hear a scream as Sara falls to the ground and her life essence is absorbed into the diamond. I crawl over to her dead body and pick up the diamond. I look at it and hold it gently in my hands. I try to move the earth from below me and nothing happens. My tears fall down my face and I stab the diamond into my chest. I feel the fluids drain into me and once the diamond is empty I throw it on the ground, causing it to shatter. I stare at the shards, diamonds don't shatter. At least not without a crazy power source throwing it. I stare at my hands and slowly push myself up from the ground. I move to the scanner and scan my hand once more. I instantly am ported back inside my mind I see me struggling to get up. I run over to her and help her up. She looks at me with a little smile and makes me walk her over to a rock so the she can sit down. I set her down and she looks at me,

"I am your power. We are the most powerful being in the world. You killed me because you were tricked, but then you saved me. We were targeted by the head of the Gifted, Sara, who was originally the most powerful. Her jealousy got ahead of her and she sent Mikaela to fetch you. Mikaela didn't know, don't be angry with her," she pauses and motions to the forest around us, "This whole world is ours, your world and your mind. Everything is ours, until someone more powerful comes along. But that probably won't happen until you are dead."

I look around and slowly ask, "But it happened for Sara, how come someone more powerful won't come along until after death?"

She points at my heart, "You are the diamond, Sara was only the Ruby, the most powerful is the diamond, that's why people came on your birthday to try and take you, so that they could take your power, the power over the world."

I stare in awe of the world, "If you're alive, do I still have my power?"

She smiles, "We have more, you took the ruby's power, life source, therefore she has no more lives. Sara will not come back to life, there will be no respawn of the ruby. In the future, when you have children, each child will be a mix of both jewels, making them more powerful than ever before seen, but still not more powerful than you. Once you die from your last life, your power will be distributed to each child, giving them more lives and much more power. You have all of your original power, plus your mother's, plus Sara's. You are the ultimate. Use it wisely for whatever you do, you do to me. Your transformations should be less painful now but I suggest you want a couple hours for me to regenerate," She stops talking as we hear Masky and my father panic, "It seems they need you, maybe I won't get my couple hours to fix myself up, oh well. We can do it." She smiles and heals herself. She stands up and I am warped back to reality. I stand up from the ground and look at my family. All their backs are turned and they look as though they are guarding something. Me. I notice that gun shots are being fired and I notice something different in the way I walk. I feel different, more powerful. I slowly walk up to my family and push through them. I stand in front of the people I love most and Masky tries to pull me back but I just smile at him and shake his hand off my arm. I gently and slowly move my arms up to the ceiling, causing the ground to shake violently on the opponent's side.. A song plays in the back of my head, Castle of Glass by Linkin Park.

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass

Hardly anything there for you to see

For you to see

I feel a bullet go through my shoulder and I smile directly at the man who shot me, in a second his face turns to fear. Something about my aura seems different. I twist my arms around and vines come from the ground and push the men to the ceiling, their guns on the floor. I clench my fists and my wound heals, spitting the bullet out.

MASKY'S P.O.V.

Anabelle pushes through us, something seems different about her. I grab her arm and try to pull her out of gunshot range but she just smiles at me, a beautiful smile that calms me, then she shakes my hand off. She causes the ground to shake and as she does so a man shoots her. She glares at the man, striking fear in his eyes and then makes all the men hit the ceiling with vines. Her wound heals up quickly and the bullet that was once in her shoulder, falls to the ground.

She elegantly walks over to the other side of the room, everything she does is elegant, she looks up at all the men and speaks in the most calming voice,"I understand that you were mislead to believe that Sara was a good person, that she was the most powerful, that she could never be beat, and that she was you leader. So I am going to give you all another chance," She moves around the room, "You see, there is going to be a change around here, a change for the better. I have beat Sara, in fact I've killed her. She will never return but she was jealous and evil, jealous and stupid. I won't make the same mistakes she did. And I will recruit people I trust to run this place. People I know won't get jealous, who will recruit other Gifted to create a society and who will create studies to benefit all creatures not themselves. So now I have decided that Mikaela will run this place. She knows how it goes around here." Anabelle looks at Mikaela and smiles the sweetest smile, "Please run this place well." She says before she faints and I run to her.
