The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Six

It's been an hour since i showed them my power. He left the room as soon as i said those things to him. Now i'm stuck pacing the length of the cell. I did not want to stay locked up for as long as i did in The Faculty. I needed out of here. With or without the others help. My eyes looked over to them, the family with the little girl were all together smiling and laughing, happy to be with each other again. The boy and girl fast asleep, her leaning against his shoulder, smiles on their faces. Where as, i was over here worrying about what was going to happen.

My eyes look over to the leader coming back in. He stopped in front of me his chocolate eyes staring right into my sole he smiled and said,

"Welcome to The Rebellion. It's not much but we are getting there, we aren't going to let how they are treating us keep happening." His gaze went over to the human family with the child who has gifts and continued "Even humans are allowed, we have quite a lot here who are helping us."

I welcome the freedom again as we leave the cell. It made me lips curve into a smile as we walked through the place that they had put together. He was basically explaining the rules as I drifted off with taking everything around me. My eyes fixed on a family all practising their gifts, they all celebrated every little thing. The kid tried but his power only happened a little bit but his while family clapped and hugged him. I smiled at the love aura that they were producing.

I continued walking behind the leader, him clearly explaining everything as everybody else was nodding along. I stopped when i saw him. It couldn't be. Without hesitation i took off running to the person i had noticed. Was it a dream? No it couldn't be. I wanted it to be this person, i could move to him. The last time i couldn't, i was paralysed. Taking the small frame of what was exactly like his, i tapped his shoulder. When i saw that familiar smile and eyes i was over-whelmed. Without thinking, i already had him in a hug a smile plastering my face. I felt his arms go around me after a second of nothingness. When i released him i took a few steps back from him just so i didn't hug him again. He was a kind person. He had brown eyes and brown hair that matched his eyes, he had a slight cut above his lip but you could only tell when staring. I pushed my hair behind my ears as i smiled at him a little more. The last time i saw him was when i was with him.. I can't believe he got away.

"Hi Leo." I finally whispered. I just couldn't believe it. I thought i was still in a dream word. He smiled as soon as he heard my voice, his eyes lighting up proving to him that i as in fact here.

"Lyria," He practically shouted as he hugged me again. Keeping his arms on my shoulders he continued. "How did you get away? How are you here? He isn't with you is he?" I frown at the thought. How could he think i'd bring that monster here. Noticing my frown his hands squeezed my shoulders bringing me back to reality.

"No he isn't here." I stated before looking over my shoulder to see the group waiting. "We will catch up later. The tour calls."

Hesitantly, i walked away. When i rejoined the group i couldn't help but send him another smile and watch him until he disappeared from sight. I felt a pinch in my heart when i could no longer see him, he was like a breath of fresh air when i first saw him. I knew somebody and they knew me, i felt like i was at home. When all this time, it had just been me, myself and i. The leader continued talking but i noticed he was focusing on me more this time. Probably worried i was going to run off into the distance with their secrets.

Silently, it fell. Little drops of water pattering down. Creating a smooth tapping sound on the window. With every tap i felt closer to sleeping. It had a rhythm of its own, dancing to it's own tune. It was marvellous. Little tiny drops continued to drop down, twirling in the sun light as it got closer to the ground and the window i was sat next too. My hair was now freshly brushed and washed, it felt alive. Falling over my face hiding my concentration from anybody passing by. A huge hand found it's way on my shoulder making me jump at the sudden contact. My breathing had steadily increased and become a little bit more harsh. Taking a deep breath i turned to see chocolate concerned eyes. I relaxed when i saw it was just the leader of these people. He felt me relax under his touch and removed his hand now knowing i was not going anywhere. I looked at him intrigued. He had not spoke to me alone. I had noticed him doing it to others, so i assumed he'd make is way to myself and now he was here, i couldn't wait to find out what he wanted.

You could get lost in his chocolate eyes, they had a life of their own. I couldn't stop myself from staring at their beauty. I unintentionally tilted my head a little as i store into his eyes. He had moved closer, his hand back on my shoulder. My smaller hand was holding his in place. I found myself staring at his face. Round chocolate eyes, a chiselled face. He also had a scar on his neck. Clearly caused by something else. It was an old scar. One that had to have been their for years. My hand went out to trace it when a crash interrupted what i was doing.
