Abilities

Chapter 5

Paige was sure that she was insane, she had absolutely lost her mind. She was hearing voices, and she couldn't make it stop. Sometimes it would just be one voice and other times it could be up to twenty, it just left her with a raging headache at the end of every day. She was losing all hope that they would ever let them go back to there lives. Sometimes, when she begged, Martha would sneak in a newspaper and the headlines would always be about them. In the beginning it was about how the three countries had teamed up and put on a huge search for One Direction and their girlfriends. But it was the sixth month anniversary of when they had been kidnapped and they were giving up on us. Paige started crying, everything was going up in smoke, she hasn't seen Harry since she woke up next to him and she was going crazy. Martha sat next to her, Paige looked up into her green eyes and the strawberry blonde hair that matched hers identically 'maybe I should let these children go. They are children after all.' Paige shot up "OH MY GOD MARTHA PLEASE, PLEASE LET US GO!" Martha put her hand over her mouth and started backing away "how did you...." 'I thought that I didn't say it...' "Martha I heard you say it loud and clear, will you help us escape?" "GET OUT OF MY HEAD! ERIC! DARIUS! SOMEONE!" With that, Eric came running into her room, "what is it Martha? I don't have time, we've figured out Louis had super strength, and Harry just shot lightening out of his hands!" "It's Paige...she..she read my mind!" Eric looked at Paige and got the biggest smile on his face "telepathy" Eric started walking towards her. Paige didn't want him to touch her she just wanted Harry. She closed her eyes and just thought over and over 'Harry I want to be with Harry. Harry." When she opened her eyes she was face to face with Harry! He took her into her arms and she started crying, "shhh Paige, it'll be alright. Shhh baby it's okay, it's okay." When Paige finally stopped crying she asked Harry what Eric meant about the lightening. "It's true Paige they did give us abilities...and I think when we discover what they are we can break out of here. Let me show you." With that a bolt of lightening shot out of Harry's hand and there was a hole in the wall and  smoke was rising from it. "Wow," Paige said, "your ability is so much cooler than mine!" "You know what you can do? Tell me" Harry said. "I can read minds Harry and I can teleport too, also Louis has super strength." With that Darius and Eric bust  into Harry's room surrounded by guards. Harry pushes Paige behind his back "Paige get out of here I'll fight them---" Harry started to fall and Paige grabbed him right before his head hit the floor. "You're amazing." Was what Eric said, "you disappeared right before my eyes.. You can read minds and teleport!" "Eric, we have to put her into coma like Louis. She can't disappear at any moment." Paige spoke up "I would never leave Harry, I'm not a monster like you two are." What she said didn't even faze Eric but Darius' dark thoughts clouded her mind 'that bitch, if Eric weren't here I would show her  how she gets to talk to me just wait until he leaves.' Eric looked at Darius, "we can't take the risk though." With that Paige was put into a medical coma just like Louis. But before she passed out completely she could hear Darius' voice in her head 'three down. I'm so tired of waiting. But I've been patient for ten years, I can wait however long this takes. Three down. We just have to find out what powers the other seven have acquired and I will finally be able to get rid of Eric and do things the way I want to be able to do them.' As Paige  was slipping away she thought that she was way more scared of Darius than she ever would be of Eric.

It all happened so quick after that. They showed Zayn the video of what Darius had done to Perrie, and he got so angry that fire shot out of his hands, and he took down twenty guards before they got him under control. But still everyday Darius would come in and beat Perrie, saying that when she had enough she would use whatever ability he had blessed her with to stop him. One day it happened. Perrie was in a ball trying to defend against Darius’ attacks when, out of nowhere, a metal table came flying across the room and knocked Darius unconscious. At first they thought that she had acquired telekinesis, but she couldn’t control just anything, only things that had metal in them. They moved her into a room with only a bed in it and nothing else, they couldn’t run the risk that she would use her new found ability to escape. Eric visited Perrie a lot after that, he said Perrie looked like someone he could trust, and he told her that Zayn, Louis, Harry, and Paige had all acquired different abilities as well, and that they were just waiting on the next five. Perrie worked out a deal with Eric, he would put the couples that had already discovered their powers into the same room if they never tried to escape. When Perrie saw Zayn for the first time in months she ran right into his arms and he held her, this is where she dreamt about being the entire time she had been alone in her room. But while Zayn was holding Perrie, it got hot and then she jumped away from him. Where his hands were her shirt had been burned, and she had handprint burn marks at the bottom of her back. Zayn was mortified and swore never to touch her again. “It’s okay Zayn, from the sound of it we all have abilities that we will have to learn to control. And just because you burned me doesn’t mean I will allow you to never touch me again, I haven’t seen you in months. Just hold me, please.”

Eric told him that couples that found out what their powers were were allowed to be together, that's what drove him. Everyday he would try to do something great like super strength or teleport, but nothing ever came. He was so frustrated he slid to the ground and put his hands over his eyes, why couldn't he do anything right? Erin needed him and he couldn't do anything to help her because he was weak! "AH!" Niall stood up and hit the wall, he took out all his frustration in that one hit and it went through the entire building they were keeping him in...it felt like an earthquake. Did he just do that? Maybe he did have super strength after all! Niall walks over to his bed, it was welded to the ground he tries to lift it, but it doesn't budge. Niall stomped his foot in frustration and there was another earthquake. He had the ability...to create earthquakes? But he could 'see' with his feet on the ground and with his eyes closed he could feel people walking out in the hallway, and the person in the room next to his, he could see them through the vibrations they created. He didn't know how he could do all this. But it was exhilarating, he felt powerful. Just then one of the many guards came into his room "Are you alright? There's been earthquakes and we're checking on everyone." Niall stared at this man, he was the embodiment of the people that were keeping him here, and away from Erin. He was the reason his best mates went through torture to get "gifts." Before Niall knew what was happening the floor tore and rocks and dirt came up into his room. Niall looked at the man and he started earth bending. He wasn't great, but he was good enough to knock that man unconscious with a giant rock that Niall bended at his head and he walked out into the hallway. All the sudden an alarm sounded "ALERT, ALERT PRISONER ESCAPED. ROOM EIGHT NIALL HORAN!" Niall didn't even make it down the hallway before they forced him into another room, this one made out of nothing but metal, no earth for him to bend. He asked Eric about Erin and when they would be reunited, "You have your ability Niall, earth bending and it's amazing. But Erin hasn't discovered hers yet. You'll just have to be patient."
