Abilities

Chapter 6

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."

Eric was getting impatient. He didn't like being forced to wait, and Eleanor, Liam, Danielle, and Erin had shown no signs of any type of ability. He gathered them into a single room and sat them down, he put on his gravest face and said, "I don't know what went wrong! It was all going so well..they lived, they had powers and then...they started dying! Louis was the first to die then he was followed quickly by Harry, Paige, Niall, Zayn, and Perrie. I'm sorry. But I feel like this means certain death for you four as well." Eleanor and Erin burst into tears, they held each other as they sobbed, they had just been told that the people they loved the most had died and they were to die too. Liam and Danielle just held onto each other. Erin was the first one to change. One second she was there and the next she wasn't! But Eleanor was still holding her..."Erin?" Was all Eric said, Erin turned visible again and shouts "WHAT POSSIBLY MORE COULD YOU WANT FROM ME?!" Erin loses her wind and falls to the floor crying, "you ruined my life. You bastard." Eric signals for one of the guards to take Erin out of the room. Eleanor screams, "leave her alone!" And then a gust of wind came out of her hands and threw the guards against the wall. "What did I just...." Eleanor looks at Eric, "this is for Louis!" Air shot out of her hands again, Eric flew and hit his head on the wall, blood started pouring out of a cut on his forehead. "Let's go!" Says Eleanor she goes to leave the room, but she was grabbed from behind by one of the guards, "let her go!" All the sudden Liam changed into a wolf, the guard dropped Eleanor and started to run but Liam jumped on his back digging his claws into him. Then came more, Eleanor and Liam tried fighting them off but there were to many, they kept coming and they were new to using their abilities. Eleanor collapsed from exhaustion and Liam transformed back into himself. It was over, they were done. They were going to die in this place, but all the sudden the water that had filled the room during the fight because of a burst pipe freezes all the guards in place. Liam looks over and sees Danielle, the water doing what she wants. The guards were frozen in place, they were going to escape. But then Danielle dropped to the ground and a gunshot pierced Liam's ears. "NO!" Liam runs to her but there is so much blood. "Oh calm down! I only shot her in the arm. She'll be fine. But I did it to show you that I am not Eric. I just won't threaten the gun, I will use it. Now all of you put your hands behind your back and get on your knees." They all did as Darius said and he handcuffed each of them.
