I told Lilly everything. Of course she didn't believe me, so I decided to demonstrate. The rest of the sleepover we played around with my powers. Picking up pillows, my puppy, and othe random stuff. The more I practiced the eaiser it got. I was even able to lift Lilly off the ground!

The next morning after Lilly left, I started getting ready to go to the bank. I was finally allowed to get a debit card and I was very excited. After I pulled my hair and sliped on some jeans and a t-shirt I was ready to go.

"Me baby all grown up! Get wa job and everyting! Now she a run off to get wa debit card. Soon she a leave me and a go to college. Now you just need fi meet wa nice boy! You know der is a new boy at church you cou-"

"Mother, I need to go before the bank gets too crouded."
If I had not interrupted her there, she would of kept rambling in her Jamacan "broken" english 'till Jesus comes back.

"Little gal, how many times me did tell you? You fi listen when me talk to you, Allyssa."

"Sorry Mommy, I gotta go"

"Come wid me, me can drive you"

"No thanks, I'll drive, love you!" I ran out the door as I said this, cutting her response off. I hopped into my car and started the engine. Cindy wasn't the greatest car but she got me where I needed to go.

When I got to the bank, I was pleasantly surprised with a stupidly long line. I sighed inwardly as I pulled ou my phone to play a game called color switch while I waited.

I had just failed the daily challenge for the fifth time when I heard a loud scream from the back of the bank.

I looked up and saw a man pointing a hand gun at child who looked about eight.

"Everyone on the ground, now." he snarled.

Everyone in the bank fell to their knees except the small girl who stood frozen in fear. Her mother was desperately trying to pull her down but she wouldn't budge.

My heart was pounding in my chest and I felt like vomiting. My fright quickly became anger as I dug my finger nails into my palms. Before I could reason with myself, my mouth opened and formed words.

"Drop the gun"

The theif spun around in an attempt to discover who voiced the command. He looked only to see me. A short, but curvy black girl and pair huge eyes with eyelashes to match.

"Excuse me, little girl? Do you not understand what guns do? Because I can gladly f*cking show you." He pointed the gun in my direction. Everyone in the bank looked up from their kneeling position at the scene in front of them. An older woman tugged on my clothes motioning for me to join her on the ground and let the theif do his thing. I firmly shook my head no, trying to tell her that had everything under control.

I held up two fingers in the air, focusing on the bullets in the gun. I felt my palms sweat excessively. What the hell are my even doing? Why can't I just take cover like everyone else? Well...because this isn't fair, Thats why. I swallowed as I prepared to say my next, or last, words.

"Try me b!tch"

His eyes darkend as he pulled the trigger. I closed my eyes and imagined the bullet in my hand, focusing on holding it absolutely still.

I open my eyes to the bullet about a foot away from my head. I stopped thinking of the bullet and it fell to the ground. I stared at my hands completely dumbfounded. How? How did I do that? I should be dead right now.

Luckily I got over my shock faster than the man with the gun. I used every ounce of my strength left in my body to push him away from me using my mind. I heard his body crash through the glass entrance of the bank as I felt immensely tired.

My head felt heavy and my knees weak. Hearing police sirens were the last thing I remembered before collapsing into unknown arms, my world going black.
