After we finished eating, I discovered that healing wasn't all I could do. I could control everything within a 50 yard radius. Life went on, me, Christine, and Astra got stronger with our powers, and life was good. Then one day as I was training my thoughts to be guarded, I felt the curious feeling return. I struggled with not letting it consume my consciousness, but I was defeated.

I remember the bumpy truck ride, in a body bag, I remember looking through the hole in the bag at the back door of the van. I was squirming, I had to get out of there, I kicked around and tried to escape my tomb, but I felt the poke of a needle through the bag, and all was dark.

I woke up from the blackout, and was a little startled to see a rabbit sitting on my chest. "Wow, are fuzzy mammals your favorite thing to turn into?" I ask. "Yes," Astra says defensively as she turns back human. "You blacked out again," she said. "Yeah, now I was training a little while ago and I would like to get back to it. I think you should too," she agreed and left. I hate being rude to my sister, I just needed a little time to think about what I just saw. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man. The same man that came for me during my first blackout. "Astra, Christine, hide! Don't ask why just do it!" They did just as I hear the doorbell ring. I go to the corner where Christine and Astra were and I tell them to follow me. We carefully go out the back window, but as I come down, my foot goes through the clay flowerpot on the ground. We hear a "HEY" and we all look at each other and start running into the woods. We look back after running about a mile and see flames coming from the house. I look at Christine and I see tears running down her face. I walk over to her and give her a hug. Astra comes over and joins the hug. She says "Me and my dad built that log cabin before he died." I hug her a little tighter as she cries some more. "Let's stop for the night," I suggest. So we stop and build a fire. As we all laid down to sleep that night. I hear a rustling. Then I see the man with eight other people with guns come and encircle us. He grabs Christine and says "if you don't come with us, I'll kill her." I drop to my knees and put my hands on my head, Astra does the same. We were gonna go back, and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

I'm just gonna leave y'all with that cliff hanger for now. MWAHAHAHAHAHA. BYE MINI MARSHMALLOWS
