Saved By The Devil - BOOK 1 ✔ (Edited)

Chapter 17 (Edited)

I felt a hot cloak of heat spread over my body. I opened my eye slowly to see the car upside down along with me in it. I then remembered what had happened. Cindy and Jerry tried to kill me. I soon recalled everything that had happened.

I looked around slowly and felt my body in pain. My ears then started to buzz really loud. I unbuckled my seatbelt which was a horrible choice because my body dropped to the roof of my car since I was upside down. I let out a whimper as the pain shot through my body. I looked up to see the car was on fire. I let my eyes close for a second and opened them.

"No time for a nap," I mumbled as I wiggled through the shattered window. I shimmied my way out and tried to push myself off the floor but couldn't.

I tried again and succeeded but was hunched over clutching my left rib. I looked over to see Jerry's car 20 feet away from my car. His car wasn't badly destroyed like my car. I felt a stink on my lip as I licked it. I dragged myself away from the crash and slowly walked away.

My body was then halted back and I fell back to the ground hard. A short scream escaped my mouth as my ribs erupted with pain. I saw a body on top of me. My vision was blurry at first but then everything started to become clear. Jerry was over my body holding a gun to my head and yelling. I looked at his lips, unable to hear anything. I tried to use my powers but it only pushed him a little.

I looked up to see Jerry stumbled back a little then I saw a foot flying toward my face. I felt a lump in my throat form while my neck was swelling up. I tried to use my powers again but it didn't work. A stupid force field. I was then kicked in the ribs repeatedly. I was tired and in pain. I tried using my powers over and over to shield myself but nothing. As Jerry stopped, I heard a buzzing sound. He was now yelling. I looked up at the dark sky and focused. I haven't used my weather power in a long time. I watched as dark clouds started to form and flashes of lightning were now taking place.

I looked to see Jerry about to pull the trigger and I channeled all my energy to zap him with lightning. He flew 13 feet away and I slowly got off the ground. I picked up the gun he dropped and aimed it at him. He was now standing up.

"What does it take to kill you?" I choked out from all the pain I felt.

This felt exactly like a movie. That moment when you think the bad guy has died but somehow he always ends up still alive. I watched as he came charging at me and I pulled the trigger. I watched as his body flew forward towards me then stopped.

My butt began to vibrate and I felt around for what it was. It turned out to be my phone. It's amazing what survives in a crash. It was Lucifer calling. I decided to pick up since there were no other ways of going home. I would stop a car but there is no one else. I would call a taxi but they would question this and don't get me started on the Uber. I picked up and held the phone to my ear. I heard nothing so I opened my mouth.

A screech escaped my mouth. Great! The voice box is swollen and the blast from the car crash made me go deaf. I hung up and started to text him. As I texted I felt myself drifting away.

Sky:

Track me and hurry plz

Lucifer:

I'm on my way. What happened?

Are u ok?

I was going to text back but my vision started to get blurry. I blinked slowly and noticed I was swaying. Sky stay up! You can do this. With each blink I took, I found my eyelids getting sleeper. This happened all because of me. Why do you have to be so stubborn and stupid Sky?

I felt my legs giving in and I slowly fell to the ground. A silent scream escaped my mouth as my ribs jerked with the fall. I looked down at my phone and saw it lit up knowing I received a text. I tried to read it but the words were all fumbled. I slowly blinked to clear the blurriness away but only felt myself falling back. Within seconds I felt my body being lifted up. I wanted to open my eyes or scream in pain but nothing came out. I felt myself lying down on a cold leather seat. The smell of a new car hit me. Soon the car was in motion and I felt a hand holding my stomach as if to protect me from falling. I felt comfortable. I begged my body not to go to sleep and I knew it was not going to listen.
