The Extraordinary Event

Chapter 2 - Chaos

The neighborhood was in chaos. People screaming, grabbing their loved ones, all wondering: what could have done this? Me.
A woman came up to me and my mom, asking what was wrong. Her expression changed as soon as she saw the new me. I lifted my hands and said "Stay away from me!" but it was too late. Lifting up my hands was the first mistake. Converging out of my hands was an ice beam, hitting the woman, and instantly freezing her. She looked like a statue, closed, no movement. I screamed, and so did society.
I could hear children crying, mothers screaming. It was like a bad nightmare, except I wouldn't be waking up from. It was reality. You could feel the fear in the air. Someone called 911 because police showed up. It was only a matter of time before they found the "extraordinary boy." They noticed the frozen woman, and the path that lead to me. Couldn't have been that hard to find me, I looked like a ghost.
"Put your hands up where we can see them!" My mom did, of course, but being myself, I didn't. I tried to tell them it was an accident and how this all happened, but when they heard I froze her and that I set off a bomb, well, that's all it took for them to start firing at me.
My mom screamed, I was panicking. It felt like slow motion. In instinct, I waved my hand at the ground and above our bodies, and an ice shield appeared. We both hyperventilated, and in awe that we both turned out fine. The bullets hit the shield and dropped to the ground. I saved my mom, the thing I truly loved most.
The police, never seeing an event like this, didn't know how to react, but I did. I grabbed my mom and we started to run away when I took my first step, and the ground started freezing over. Another accident, causing more lives being stopped in the moment. Apparently I knew how to bring the sheild down, and when I did, I saw the police force frozen. I couldn't control myself. The death toll was rising.
Pretty soon the whole neighborhood was freezing over. I tried to stop it, but couldn't. My mom said "Honey, I know you can't control this, but if we're to survive, we have to go now." Listening to her, we did. We took her car and she drove as far away as she could. We didn't know where to go. It was our first time being in live action; we would always be quiet people. She finally thought of a place, and when we arrived there, I was in total shock.
