Sophitz: Relationships

New powers

Keefe's POV:

"Lower your weapons," The hooded figure said, then he looked at me. "I said, lower your weapons!"

"I don't have a weapon," I said. 

"What is that ominous object you have in your hand," He said. 

"What-Oh this, this is a hamburger, you eat it you know," I said. 

"Drop it."

"Excuse me."

"That is classified as a weapon, drop it now or I shoot you," He said. 

"You know, you are starting to bother me, and I don't let a man get away with a crime such as dropping my burger to the floor," I said. 

"Your," He started. But I cut him off, quicker than I knew I could move I jumped out of my seat and punched him across the face so hard that he fell to the floor and broke a table in the process. I stood over him, my knuckles bleeding. 

"Back off," I said calmly. The man turned on his stomach and started crawling away to the cliff and unslung a parachute and he and his buddies got away. 

"How'd you do that?" Sophie asked. "And don't say 'Adrenaline.'"

"I don't know," I admitted. "Maybe there are more powers that my mom gave me, but at least it gave me the powers to defeat them."

"Yeah," Sophie said grimly. "Maybe we could see what kind of powers you have later." 

"Okay," I said. "Maybe I'll have a power that could zap people to dust." 

"If only we all had powers like that," Sophie thought aloud. 

"Could you do me a favor," I asked ominously. 

"Is that I trick question," She wondered. 

"No."

"Okay, what is the favor?"

"Please tell no one about what I just did," I pleaded. Sophie was quiet for a moment before responding.

"Okay," She said quietly. 

"Thank you," I grabbed her hand but she quickly pulled her's away, I felt a little disappointed.

Sophie dropped me off at Candleshade before continuing her journey to go to Havenfield. 

I kept quiet for almost the whole time like I said I would until I got to my room. 

After a couple of minutes of me and Ro standing there in silence, she finally asked something. 

"Spill it," Ro said demandingly. "I know you're hiding something, normally you're always talking, 'Blah, blah, this, blah, blah that." 

"There's nothing I'm hiding," I lied. 

"I said, 'I know when you're hiding something.'" Ro repeated. "Everything does something that easy so easy to tell because they're nervous about it." 

"Even if I was hiding something I wouldn't tell to you," I said. 

"So in other words, you are hiding something."

"Then let's go somewhere no one could overhear us," I said, gesturing through the hallway.

We strolled through the dimly lit hallway before exiting on the other side to a large room. She looked suspicious. 

"Bye-Bye," I said as I sprinted out the door and disappeared into the light. I heard Ro screaming behind me right before I disappeared.

"NOOOOOO," I screamed as the hot tools seared my skin. The masked figure cruelly laughed before asking his question once again.

"Where is the girl?" He asked in his most threatening, evil, mysterious laugh. 

"What girl?" I asked innocently-Or as innocent as I could be.

"I will give you one more chance, WHERE IS SHE," He said, stretching his words out like I was a little kid. 

"I don't know." 

He pushed the tool deeper into the flesh in my arm this time, causing me to yelp out in pain. 

"If you won't tell us, we'll still get it out of you the same," He mumbled as he hefted the tool in his hands.
