Lost Memories

Chapter 5: Michael

"I'm here" I said opening Christian's door. The room was dark and the windows were opened.

"Hello?" I said walking forward. Itripped on a little wire.

"Alright... I'm leaving

"Thanks" I said getting up. The door shut on my face. I pulled at the lock and it felt like someone was on the other side of the door. If I used my powers that would just be playing into his hands.

I used my phone as a flashlight and walked around the room. "Let me call someone" I said dialing Ava, my phone was swiped out of my hand and thrown to the ground.

"Son of a bitch!" I said picking up the shattered phone. "You're buying me a new one!" I hissed patting the wall for a light

"Ah ha" I touched a switch, someone grabbed my arm to stop me. I searched for the face. I felt lips and a nose and managed to adjust my eyes to the darkness. I punched where I found the figure.

I flipped on the light. This guy wasn't Christian.

"CHRISTIAN" I yelled. A light flicked upstairs.

"You're here already?" He said looking down. "Michael?!"

"You told me she was a suspected super hero. I was testing her."

I glared at Christian. "This shit again?"

"I didn't think he'd try to attack you." He said helping who I think is his brother up.

"He broke my phone." I said tossing it to Christian. Christian looked at his brother.

"Sorry?" Michael smiled.

"Just send us the bill. This is Michael, my cousin" He said leading me upstairs.

"Did you figure out something for the project?"

"I've been thinking about your idea. So I decided to do it." He opened his room door.

"Did you use the seeds I gave you?"

"Yeah and I didn't feel like doing more than two plants...."

"Alright...Did the music work?"

"Yeah."

"Could you stop being vague I have to explain this project too." I hissed. He laughed and nodded. He gave me his notes.

I read them as my phone buzzed. I looked at the crack in the screen and grumbled. I answered the phone. "Hello?"

"You called me earlier?"

"False alarm. Sorry. Is that all you needed to call ke for?"

"No,Sam has a problem" she said.

"Why are you calling me? Hes a big boy." I laughed.

"Because it's in your house" she said.

"AVA" I heard him yell from behind her.

"Is it serious?" I asked.

"Here you talk to him" she said.

"No no no no no" He said. I waited a while for him to finally pick it up.

"What's up? " He said casually.

"What happened?" I smiled.

"Well we were in the park right" he said.

"Mhm" I nodded.

"And a rabbit was there" He said hyperventilating.

"oh no a rabbit" I said sarcastically.

"Yes, it hopped into Ava's bag and it's in your house" he said.

"Wait, how did you get from the park to my house" I said.

"Long story turns out it was pregnant and it scattered. RILEY THERE COULD BE BABIES" he yelled.

"You brought rabbits into my house?" I asked in disbelief.

"Ava wouldn't let me leave until we find them" he said.

"So we need your help" she said.

"RILEY THERE ARE BABIES" He screamed.

"I'll be there soon" I turned off my phone laughing.

"Who was that?" Michael asked.

"None of your buisness" I said.

"Before you go, leave your phone. I can fix the screen if you want." Christian smiled. I turned off my phone and adjusted my watch.

"Alright. I'll see you later. My boyfriend is in trouble" I mumbled

"I'll go with you, you might need help" Michael said.

I hesitated and looked at Christian who slowly looked away. "No it's ok." I said sweetly.

------------
Sam was sitting outside the house with his head in his lap. I tapped him and waited for him to get up.

"Ava is inside trying to catch them" He said not picking up his head.

"Its going to be ok." I said rubbing his back and entering the house. I went inside and picked up the mother rabbit in the corner of the room.

"Ava, I found the mother" I said.

"Good" she called. I went back outside and set the rabbit down.

"You want to pet he-" I picked up his head. He screeched and startled the rabbit. The rabbit immediately jumped from my arms and went underneath the bushes.

"Riley *hic* why did you bring that *hic* monstrosity out here *hic*" he said.

"Ok ok ok. I wont show you anymore. You should probably go into my room. I dragged him as fast as I could into my room. I close the door before something could get in.

"Just stay in here." I smiled going back to the main area.

We rounded the rabbits back up and took them outside with the mother. They hopped away peacefully and I turned back around. I went upstairs to Sam.

"It looks like you were mauled" Ava said peering behind me. Sam had his shirt ripped and his pants torn.

"Rabbits are the work of the devil" He said shaken up.

"Is it still in here?" Ava asked.

"No I let then out."

"Aw, my baby got hurt. Peter might still have clothes from when you guys stayed here." I said

I sat on the couch with Ava as Sam came back down with his hair still messed up. "Come here" Ava said fixing his hair.

Sam sat next to me and pulled me to his chest. "Do you have any cuts?"

"Nothing serious. I'll be fine."

"Riley, you need to answer your damn phone" Peter walked right past us to the stairs. He walked backwards to look at everyone.

"Welcome....home?" I smiled. "My phones getting fixed.

He threw up his hands and ran upstairs. "I don't have time, we have some business on the ship" he said.

Sam looked at me and I shrugged "Peter" he yelled.

"WHAT?" he yelled back.

"Are you ok?"

He huffed and stomped upstairs. The three of us looked at each other in confusion.

"I'll get to changing then...." I said getting up.

"We'll see you on the ship." Ava mumbled trying to assess what just happened.
