The untouchable girl

The new boy

I awoke in a small room, with wooden walls, and I was in a small creaky bed. It would have been pretty cute if my head didn't hurt like hell.
"Ow." I mumbled.
Suddenly a guy with fiery red hair and bright green eyes ran into the room.
"Ah! You're awake. My name is Owen. Owen Wilson. " he stuck out his hand and I took it. I felt his emotions rush through me.
Happiness, adoration, attraction, laughter
And now his thoughts
She's cute. But I think she's dating Finn. I might as well give it a go. Why is she looking at me like that?
I giggled
"You're cute." I said
"And you might have a slight concussion"
"I feel fine."
He laughed at me and helped me to stand.
"Hey Finn! Your girlfriend is awake."
"I'm not his girlfriend, but I definitely like you."
"Oh my god. Finn what did you give her?"
At this point, Finn came in and started laughing his ass off.
"What's so funny?" I demanded.
"Your hair is insane and you called Owen cute."
I patted down my hair.
"Well, whatever that doesn't matter. Shut up"
Now they were both laughing.
"Rude" I stated.
"More like hilarious." Owen said.
"I made you some food, if you feel like you could eat it."
"I could eat both of you. You'd have to be barbecued though."
They both laughed again. This was getting frustrating. I pushed past them and grabbed the plate of food Finn made. I scarfed it down as Finn and Owen laughed at something else. I heard them whispering and listened in.
"Is she chris' daughter?"
"Yes."
"Does she know what happened to him?"
"Not yet, we're working on it."
"Does she even know why she's here?"
"Owen stop. I know you think it's wrong but she's not ready for the truth."
"Final question, does she know you like her?"
I could practically heSr him start to blush.
"What are you talking abou? I don't like her. I hate her. She's too. Too. Too, nice"
"Well if you don't like her you don't mind if I go for her?"
"OWEN DONT YOU DARE!"
I believe this was my cue.
"Everything all right guys?"
Finn looked like he was about to strangle someone and Owen had a playful smirk on his face.
"Everything's fine, beautiful."
I smiled at the compliment from Owen.
"Want me to show you around? I think mr. Grouchy pants needs to cool off."
I nodded and he stuck out his elbow. I linked our arms and he led me down a dirt path. But not before again his emotions and thoughts coursed through me. Maybe I can turn it off? I shut my eyes and focused on shutting out everything. It worked! I smiled smugly to myself and listened as He pointed out the fields of crops and the houses of other people.
He even pointed out their gifts, apparently each family had a personal gift, like they were hereditary. Owens family had the power of growth. The could bring any plant to full health, or keep a tree going all year 'round. Another family was able to shapeshift. It was truly incredible. We heard a motorcycle from behind us and we turned just in time to keep from getting hit. The cycle sped up to the manor.
"That's not good." Owen said
"Who was that?"
"That was one of the loon outs, Dimitri, He has the ability to sense people, he can see them coming from miles away. Him speeding off like that means there are intruders."
"Damn."
"Agreed let's hurry back to finn."
I nodded and we ran back to Owens house. Finn was already outside looking around.
"Everything alright?" Owen called to him.
"No, I think one of the other communities was attacked. I heard the radio chatter."
"Shit."
