That Miracle

Chapter 6 - Fights and Tears. Again and Again. ✔

I ran towards nothing as his eyes caught mine. I found an exit but the gates are closed so it's dead end. He grabbed my hand and tried to make me face him. I struggled to push him away. But he's too strong. He kept on saying things that I don't want to hear. Actions speak louder than words. Someone grabbed Eddie by his shoulder and punched him. Breaking his nose. A part of my heart broke as I saw the scene. Awful. I can say.

"Are you alright?" Owen asked. Carly was there behind him with a very worried face.

"Y-yes." Owen pulled me into a warm hug. It seems odd. But I felt at ease with him. I dug my face to his chest and I soaked his shirt but it seems it's okay with him.

"W-w-w-hat -" Owen released me. And pulled me inside. I don't what was happening. All I can hear was the loud usual sound of a helicopter. I felt like it was coming closer to me. To us. I tried to jump inside but something huge got a hold of me. It dragged me away from them. I struggled to break free. But it was made of metal. It lifted me up. So high that I don't dare look down.

I looked up and saw Fortune inside a somewhat machinery. I knew it. He had a huge grin on her face. Carly called help form inside.

"Put her down." Owen shouted. Eddie struggled to stand up and help me. But I believe they can't. It is too big.

"So we meet again." Ignoring Owen and Eddie. I heard his voice coming form a speaker near the robot's chest.

"What do you want?" I shouted.

"You. Your powers. I just can't imagine what would people react when they see that there are happenings in E.T. How much will I earn to selling you to science agencies that will experiment on you? I'm excited."

He gave a loud laugh. My hands were numb and my lips were dry. Experiment on me? I glanced at the sign at the back of my hand. I took a deep breathe and focused all my energy to my hand causing the metal to melt. I held on to the metal wrapped around my body and watched it melt. It continued on melting until my body slipped away. I closed my eyes.

I felt my back touch something soft and I bounced back to the air. A traumpoline. Huh? I looked up and saw another robot controlled by Mr. Villana. The traumpoline held me lower and lower until I reached the ground. Carly grabbed my hand and we all dashed inside. Leaving the two robots fighting. We went to the highest point of the building where everyone is safe.

I watched Fortune's robot getting defeated so he went to a small control station and flew away. Mr. Villana got down from the robot and approached us.

"Looks like you did well in controlling your powers." He said to me.

"Yeah... and those were cool robots."

"So you should all get back to school. You might still catch up on some lessons." He spoke as if nothing happened.

His car drove us to school. We went into our Research class and got detention for showing up late and skipping class. They made us write "I will not skip nor be late in class again" about 100 times. Their way of giving detention was like for an elementary kid. No wonder our uniform's color is pink and yellow. After we finished detention and the other classes left. I wanted to head home alone. Of course, our real home is burned down. So I walked towards the Crook's residence. What if another thing attacks me? I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I passed by my favorite park and saw a silhouette of a man sitting in a bench... alone. I took a few steps towards him. And later realized that those dirty blonde hair belong to Owen. The dim light of the lamp shown his face.

"Mich... It's you..." He gave out a gasp.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask the same thing too."
