What's Your power?

Suddenly You

Thomas' POV:
Mandy showed up last night. She slammed the door open. She was in a rage and she flipped the bed Ty and I were no longer happily asleep in. When I sat up she glared at me "Steven is out of control. He just burned up my apartment and my hair."

She held up the silver tips of her hair that were burnt. He is really in danger now. Especially once I tell her what he did to me. Ty sat up and stared at her for a moment "do you know what time it is? Fix the bed and you're more than welcome to stay in my apartment, Thomas' cabin, or you could stay here with us. Just let me go back to sleep."

She looked from me to Ty then back again. "Oh. MY. GOD. Are you guys a thing again? Please don't tell me that's why Steven is mad." Ty nodded to her. "Seriously ... I'm gonna kill Steven. He wasn't happy so why is he mad that you two broke up? He should be happy that he's free and that you're happy now"

I shrugged and tried to flip the bed again. After a minute or two the bed was back where it was supposed to be and we started making it. "So, did you not hear what he did to me?" she shook her head. "Well when we met I talked to him for a bit then I told him that I didn't think it was working out between us and offered to stay friends." Nodding, the only acknowledgment of me talking. "After that he freaked out on me started spitting fire everywhere, but specifically at me. He did burn the trees, the other people, and even one or two guards. I mean I knew he had a fiery temper but woah"

We both laughed at my awful pun. By the time the bed was fully made Ty was already in it asleep. Mandy and I talked for a little while after but soon we dozed off. When I woke up somehow the three of us maneuvered ourselves so that Ty and I were cuddling on the right half while Mandy slept on the left half. I gently removed myself from Ty and went to take a shower. On my way back to our room the doctor stopped me. "Are you ready to enter the soul of a stranger, Thomas."

I stepped back. "So soon, I just learned how to enter a soul yesterday?"

He smiled and just walked away. I know what I'm supposed to do at this point. I follow him into a small room. There is a young woman sitting tied to a chair. "Leave or he'll obtain control of you too. When you try to hinder one of his pawns he infects you as well then waits until you fall asleep and possesses you in your slumber"

She kept her head down letting her black hair cover her face and fall loosely. I turned to the doctor in shock. How would she know that? "She was my assistant for our research until she was what's the word you used ... ah that's right she was possessed"

I turned back to her. "Alright ma'am do I have permission to enter your soul?"
She raised her head revealing her sad, brown eyes "NO, I don't wish for this to spread. If you make any contact with me or my soul he'll only harm you"

Good enough for me. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was standing in a swamp. There was a small house standing just on the shore. Moving my legs through the muck I made my way toward it. Right before I reached shore something grabbed my leg. It's wrapped around my leg and moved up me. It was a large Green Anaconda as it moved up it wrapped itself around me. "I could say welcome to Florida but I would much rather say goodbye"

It was completely covered in the black sludge. I couldn't move. She had to be at least 15 feet long. "Let me go. You are so rude! Get off" I felt it grip loosen and its body shrink. "Ah, I can breathe a little better now. So if you wouldn't mind, get off."

With that the snake shrunk to palm sized. I held her lightly and ran to the house. The door was unlocked. I opened the door to see black sludge all over the floor. "Oh ew I wish I had a mop or something right now." The snake in my hand felt different suddenly. I looked at her and she had become a mop. "Well this just keeps getting weirder and weirder now doesn't it"

I started to mop up the sludge. It seemed to just disappear when I moved the mop over it. Once the sludge was gone I searched the rest of the house. There was nobody in any room I'd been in and there were three rooms left. The first one was empty as hell, but in the second one had the assistant in it. She was sitting locked in a cage made of the goo. "Young man, what are you doing here? I told you no"

I started mopping up the cage. "I'm not known for my listening skills ma'am. So if you would like to complain can you at least wait until I've made sure all this gunk is gone"

She nodded. We walked through her world. She had lived in this house almost her entire life until she was offered her position at the school 5 years ago. Once we cleared everything up I snapped the mop in half and it fizzled into non-existence. She asked me about how I found her. "Well a snake became a mop because I wished it would."

Gasping she pulled a small notepad out of her pocket. "I want to do an experiment would you please assist me." She pulled me back to her house and pointed at the closet. "request something else"

I shrugged. "Alright, I wish for a pack of black pens and the clothes Steven ruined yesterday"

She opened the door revealing a pack of brand new black pens and the outfit I wore yesterday. "I observed the snake repeating these actions a number of times. It would come up to the door request supplies then pull it out of the closet like it could actually have fit in there. It got the cage and a capybara out of here." She frowned "I guess it was hungry?"

I grabbed the doorknob "I'm leaving. This is so weird. you should have control when we're back."

I pulled the door open and we were in the room she lifted her head. She didn't have the pens or my clothes. She looked around the room zeroing in on the doctor. "May I be untied now? This position is disagreeable and I would like to use the restroom"
