Excess

The Rescue

Lauren Quinto

We ran and ran until we reached a car which I think is his. We entered as fast as we can and he drove fast on the highway and as because I am dumb I forgot to put on my seatbelt and bumped my head on the car. I looked at him with stabbing eyes but he didn't seem to care. His eyes are on the road and he didn't look like he's planning to get it off of it.

"Where did you see her?" he asked.

"I just saw a little room. But it seems more of like a living room because it has a big window and a couch. My visions are blur, and I dont think I can see the whole capacity of the place I'm seeing, if these visions are even real." I said informing him, holding on the seatbelt buckled against me.

"Where are we going?" I asked but he didn't bother to even answer.

I cocked an eyebrow staring at his sweat beads falling from his forhead down as I gave him a death glare. He drove fast and turned left to a some kind of a gate of a subdivision. The guard was gonna walk towards us but when his eyes met Apollo's, he seems to just stop and open the gate. I have studied this once. Telepathy, ofcourse, comes with mind control. Not only he can talk to one's mind but also control it.

I wonder why he wouldn't do that to me, and had to convince me. I mean, I know I went with him, but doesn't mean I'm also gonna come when they are having the elemental war. We stopped infront of a house in one great break and lucky I was holding the seatbelt, but I felt the sudden break which shook my thoughts off me. He opened the door and sprinted inside, I just followed not even knowing what I could do to help. "Agatha!" he kept shouting. "Agatha where are you?!" he ran to the living room and saw a portal that closed instantly when we walked in. "Agatha what are you doing?!" I saw a girl with black hair, wearing black jeans and a whit crop top, showing her fair skin.

"I was training with Joe." she said with a cheeky smile.

"Are you okay?" he asked breathing heavily.

"Better. I learned that I can also atash a portal to anything or anyone." She said with a big smile and Apollo just smiled like he wanted to see.

"Hi, I'm Agatha." she shook my hand.

"Hello, I'm Lauren." I said smiling.

"Seems like Apollo's got a new girl." she said chuckling.

"No, I'm not his girl. He just, I-I dont k-know." I said stuttering, not even aware of what's happening.

"Agatha, she's not my girl." Apollo confirmed.

"Then who is-" her sentence was cut when Apollo continued.

"She's the excess." Agatha's blue eyes dark brown eyes widened.

"I-I'm so sorry" she said and held both my hands trying to apologize but when she touched me,

**
I can see her black hair being brushed by her hands as she apologized with her pleading eyes, making a guy who seemed to be Apollo, chuckle. He was looking around, acting nervous, not knowing what was gonna happen next. He closed his eyes, probably trying to figure out his next moves. He stared at the window, and I can see nothing but fear and confusion in his eyes. I looked to the window, more likely stared at it, instantly being shocked as a knife was thrown shattering it and quickly making it's way to Apollo's chest, my eyes grew with fear as I saw another knife to be thrown at the girl, knowing it's Agatha, "Stop!" I screamed towards the window as I looked at the knife, it seems to be slowing in the air. As if everything is in slow motion. I raised my hand pointing towards the object and the weirdest feeling rushed out of my body. As if a wave came out from me. And coming out from my hands, I saw waves, semi-visible curved lines going all the way through the knife. Making it, and everything behind it crash through each other.

I jolted, realizing another vision just came on my head, I looked at Apollo, he was staring somewhere behind me. I looked for whatever he was staring at and saw it. A window. I saw a figure of someone, like a person, outside. And as soon as the window cracked, my eyes widened starting to think of my next move. Soon enough, it shattered. But even before the knife thrown reaches Apollo, I did the thing that even I was shocked.

"Stop!"

I ran outside looking for the guy I hit with those waves coming from my hands. Apollo and Agatha both seemed to be unconscious. I just found them laying on top of broken glass and wood that I'm guessing came from the wooden table behind them lately. I ran outside and looked for the side of the window. And I saw him. Lying as he coughed. His hands on his stomach trying to get up. He looked at me, his eyes staring as if he was pleading, as if he was saying a goodbye. He stood up, his hands still below his ribs, and whispered 'Lauren'. I just looked at him, and he looked upwards, closed his eyes and arched his back. 'Lauren..' he whispered again, but I was too shocked to even say a single word. Why would he do that? I know him. He will never do that. But now, he looks so different, except for his face. The clothes he was wearing. He gave me one more glance before turning his back on me, and that's when I wasn't able to move a muscle. Wings appeared on his back, it seemed to unfold itself, it was big. It was white and had streaks of black feathers in it. He bent his knees and lifted both, trying to jump, and he flew. Fast. Far.

Is this why he said goodbye? What is he? He's not a killer. I kept convincing myself that he wouldn't do such thing. But I saw them. Infront of my own eyes. My own eyes. I found myself standing alone, staring at the sky, where I know he is gliding through. 'Lucian' I mumbled his name to myself. 'What has happened to us.'

Someone held my left shoulder and I looked back, calm, still dazed on what had just happened. "Who is he." Apollo asked staring at me with confusion-filled-hazel eyes. Lucian is not a killer, Lucian will never kill right? He won't. He never would. And not like me, they will believe that he is a killer. So for the better, I wont tell them. I wont tell anyone.

"Noone." I said
