Runaways

Manifesting

Sophie

Everything is burning. The searing heat and the smell of burning flesh are too much. The voice keeps repeating my name over and over.  Sophie knows that voice. It's Gethen's.

"Sophie, Sophie." The voice suddenly changes. "Sophie, please wake up!!!" The new voice sounds panicked. Sophie also recognizes that voice. It's Keefe's.

A stinging pain hits her cheek. She yelps, half awake.

Sophie can hear Keefe calling her name again. 

"Okay okay, I'm awake." As her senses come back to life, Sophie smells smoke. Lots of smoke. "Is something on fire?"

Once her vision clears, she lets out a shocked squeak. The bed is on FIRE! The next second Sophie's under the bed. She scrambles from under not bothering to think about how she got there. "Get water Keefe!" Sophie yells.

As soon as Sophie thinks about water, it feels like it can come out of her hands. Following her instincts she puts her hands out, and surprisingly the water from the running sink is in the palm of her hands. Sophie splashes it all over the fire, putting it out.

"How did you do that?" Keefe breathes.

"I don't know." Sophie stares at her hands and then the answer comes to her. "It's like I can imitate any ability."

Keefe looks dumbfounded. "Try lighting. The power of a Charger. Or ice. The power of a Froster."

Sophie thinks about lighting and sparks come out of her hands. Mystified, she tries ice and it's the same effect.

She looks up at Keefe and it looks like a lightbulb went off in his head. "When I was bringing you up here you were burning hot and ice cold." He starts. "Then the lights started flickering. I think those were symptoms of whatever power you have. Also when you went through the bed, I think you phased."

Sophie's mind is in shock, all she could get out was, "Oh."

He started pacing. "We should call this ability "imitator". As you are able to imitate any ability." He says.

"How are you so calm about this!?!" Sophie says, my breathing speeding up.

Keefe walks over and grabs her hands. "Because I know what it's like to have a new ability. Especially if it's one that no one else has. We must be calm."

My breathing slows down. "Ok." She whispers quietly.

Keefe resumes his pacing and starts mumbling incoherently. 

After what feels like an eternity, he looks at Sophie and says, "Let's go back to bed. I can help you train with this tomorrow."

Sophie nods, not trusting her voice to speak. She walks over to the bed and asks Keefe, "Could you sleep with me?"

He smiles sweetly. "Of course."

Biana 

Biana is currently sobbing into a pillow. She miss Sophie and Keefe so much. Life just keeps getting worse here.

Mr. Forkle is distant, Fitz is mad all the time, and everyone else is just depressed. Biana wishes they would come back.

She knows that Sophie wouldn't want them to sulk around so she made a new mission. This mission is to cheer everyone up. Be optimistic!

Hey guys! I know Biana's part was a little random but I just felt like I've been doing Fitz a lot. Thank you for over 200 reads!
