More Secrets and Deaths Revealed

I was still out of it. I could tell. It felt strange, as if I was floating. All around me was the white abyss. Suddenly an eerie voice rang out in echoes.

"Liz, it won't be long now. You may not know who I am now but that won't stand for much longer. You'll die a pitiful just like the others and then your power will be mine. Sweet dreams....

I woke up on the couch with all of the guys hovering over me nervously.

"Give me some space before I chop of your heads," I growled. They jumped back and mumbled apologies. I cautiously sat up and grabbed the couch's arm to steady myself. Josh immediately rushed forward so I held up a hand to stop him.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I have a lot of explaining to do so please stop fussing over me for right now," I said running a hand through my hair. Josh sheepishly nodded and sat down rubbing the back of his neck.

"Thank you. Now as you have all probably figured out by now, I have magic powers. My power always shows itself as the form of fire but I don't have to only do fire related magic. The magic bends to my every will meaning I can do what ever I want. That first conversation we had where I could guess everything you were thinking. I was reading your thoughts and felt like messing with you a bit ,Josh. Also even as a top agent there is no way I could have survived a beating like without moving. Towards the last few minutes I set up magic barrier around myself. I couldn't even feel anything. Oh yeah all I had to do to get out of this place is teleport back home. In that gang fight I used a mind link to talk to Derrick. That's why he got so scared and ran away," I explained. " I understand if you guys think I'm a freak now and want to get rid of me."

"What? Get rid of you! This is the coolest thing ever!" Andrew exclaimed. I smiled feebly as the others nodded in agreement.

" You used magic to heal me didn't you " Zach asked. I nodded before curling up in ball as pain shot through my body again. In an instant the strange dream came back to me.

" Liz what's wrong?" Josh questioned worriedly.

"I'm not sure. This pain all started that one when I cut my hand. Oh yeah I forgot to mention because of the magic my body automatically heals itself. Anyways remember when you thought I fell over in pain because of the beating. It was actually a pain spreading throughout my body starting at my stomach. It feels like jagged freezing icicles are cutting through the inside of your body. It just happened a few moments ago and is also what caused me to faint," I informed.

"Let's take you to the hospital. What if something is seriously wrong?" John suggested. I sighed and gave him a -what the crap? Were you not listening to anything I said- face.

"I just told you. My magic would heal any physical injury that would be considered normal-meaning it could happen to any normal person without magic- which has lead me to believe that this is a magic related symptom. Before now I thought I must be the only person that had magical powers but when I fainted I had a strange dream. I was floating in a white abyss and a man's voice came at me from all sides. He said it wouldn't be long before I knew who he was and that when he killed me my powers would be his," I recalled.

"Th-that's serious! Why didn't you say something before!" Josh yelled.

"Calm down. Getting all worked up isn't going to help us one bit. I have already concluded that this man has magic. Primarily ice magic. Like I said before I can do whatever I want but my power is greatest when I am using it in a fire related way. His power is greatest when using ice magic.That means that we have an advantage because fire always beats ice. However I have reason to believe that there are others that had magic too. He killed them and collected their magic for himself meaning that he could be very strong. I'm not sure that I can find his location but it's worth a try." I said. Suddenly an earsplitting screech filled my head. As I clamped down my hands on my ears I heard that voice again. "You might want to check the news Sweetie. I think you'd say they're very interesting" I slowly removed my hands from my ears.

"Are you alright?" Josh asked.

"I'm fine but turn on the news quickly," I ordered. Matthew and the others must been able to tell that I was very serious because he immediately turned on the T.V to the news channel. Soon the voice of a reporter came through.

" We are here at the local cemetery to give out information on a grave robbery. The graves of Janessa and Robert Millers have been destroyed. Police have still not located the bodies. A note was found on the tombstone that read 'First your parents and then your friends. You're next. I'll find you Sweetie." she said. I felt tears spill down over my cheeks.

"It is said that they had a 16 year old daughter in high school by the name of Liz Millers." All eyes turned to me as my name was mentioned.

"Th-they're talking about you aren't they?" Zach whispered. I didn't need to answer. The tears were enough. I silently pointed back to the screen.

"Teachers and schoolmates alike said that she didn't have very many friends and she disappeared from school three weeks ago. Her said friends were killed in the recent massacre two weeks ago. The culprit of the robbery and massacre are thought to be the same man." A strangled noise made its way from my mouth. How could we have not heard about this. My only friends were killed in a massacre. Why!

"No one has seen Liz and the police are not sure why she was not taking care of by the Social Services seeing as her parents died five years ago. Her home was searched and seems to have been abandoned right before the massacre. There is no sign of a break in but the police are still looking for her though it is likely that she is dead." Zach went up and turned off the T.V. as they gave a description of me. I hadn't cried in years about my parents but I couldn't help it anymore. Josh pulled me towards him so my face was buried in his chest.
