When Worlds Collide

Chapter 8

Kristin Percxio/Kristin Parker

What have I done to deserve this?

I always was a mischievous child but had good intentions. I did cause trouble but cleaned up after. What caused me to lose my entire family to creatures unknown and give me such pain?

"WHY??!" I yelled out, which caused a number of people to look at me with confused faces, which I returned with a smile and ran away. I went into a street beside an abandoned warehouse, which looks creepy, and no one walks anywhere near it. Most people are superstitious, so they have many stories that keep people at bay. So, the person who was following me shouldn't come here.

He is still following me. Big surprise there. My options are fight or flight. Flight meaning literally and figuratively. Although if I actually fly it might end in unwanted attention. I heard a click behind me.

He has a gun.

"HEY LADY! STOP!"

Fight is pretty good right now. I then decide to just make him unconscious with magic but when I tried, my magic...

Sputtered?..

The guy walks up and points the gun at me.

"Put all your money in the bag!" he yells, looking nervous.

"Look, we can talk about this. You don't want to kill me." I tried to reason, but he just took off the safety from his gun.

"Is this your first time? You are looking pretty nervous the-"

"JUST GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!"

"I don't have any!"

"Then, your usele-"

Suddenly, I saw a fist flying to his face, rendering him unconscious. The man looked at me.

"Dr. Williams??! What are you doing here??!"

"I live nearby, needed to get some groceries." He reply, and then wincing when he looked at his hand which was bruised.

"Yeah, but what are you doing here? Everybody's too scared to even talk about this place." And maybe there is something here? There would be no other reason that my powers wouldn't work.

"I saw you going in the street and saw that miscreant following you. Just had a bad feeling. Guess I was right." He say with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Uh, thanks for that but I have to go..."

"Oh, of course, yes uh, bye Kristin." He say walking away.

"Bye..."

Well that was awkward. Anyways, I need to go back to the house. No matter how annoying it will be.

I finally reach the house, and notice that there is nobody at the house but I can sense that there is one life form. Probably 'sister'. I run to my room so I wouldn't have to see her. That was for naught when I heard 'sister' knocking at the door. Or should I call her General?

"I know you're in there Kristin. We need to finish our conversation."

"How about after I cope with the fact that I have been lied to for 11 YEARS! AT LEAST I THINK, BECAUSE ANYBODY COULD HAVE LIED TO ME FOR FIVE YEARS WHEN I WAS IN FALTOR!" I yell, not really wanting to talk.

"Listen, I know you are angry, but you need to put aside you feelings-"

"EVER SINCE I HAVE COME HERE ON EARTH, I HAVE BEEN REPRESSING MY FEELINGS! FOR 11 YEARS! SORRY THAT I CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE-" I get interrupted by the General when she finally opens my door.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have say that. But we need to discuss something." She says with seriousness.

"What?" I ask, a bit concerned.

"The safety of this planet, and control of your powers."

"Wait, what's going to happen to Earth?" I ask nervously.

"I don't know, but I do know that it is nothing good."
