The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Twelve

I'm paralysed by what had just happened. I feel someone begin to pick me up. Carefully supporting my back and pushing my head so i am leaning against them. Another set of hands make my hands wrap around the person holding me, to stop me falling out off his hands. His other hand is cradled between the back of my knees whilst his other hand supports my back delicately. I feel them slowly lift up my head bouncing into their hard shoulder. I make a grumble of complain but my eyes will not open. I feel a hot sensation running through my body, the urge to itch my face, arms and back. The arm resting on the hard chest tries to do just what my body is urging me to do but when i tried straining to move it, it would not budge.

I groan softly when i am delicately placed on a seat. I can feel someone take a sharp breath as the reach over me and secure me in place. They reach over me and fumble until a click echoes and the heat moves away from me followed by the shutting of the car door. I mumble under my breath on how i did something back. I feel someone tuck the loose strands behind my ear and tell me i did fine. I smile softly before turning quickly to face away from whoever it was.

I hear muffled arguments as horns are violently being pressed. I hear someone from the side of me mumble 'shit' as the car we are in halls to a stop. Not able to turn or open my eyes i stay still my hand gripping the shirt. I pull harshly at it wanting to rip the fabric which is acting like poison against my skin. My muffled groans of complaints are not loud enough for anybody to hear as the whole world seems to be having a meltdown at the thought of their prison having a power cut.

My head is lent against the window. The energy from my body seeping into the car as it vibrates against my head sending a ripple pulse down my body. My eyes are fidgeting against my eyelids wanting to see the commotion that i had caused wanting to see the light again. My whole body tenses and shakes when i feel my eyes drifting towards the ground. Almost jumping out of the seat, i thank whomever strapped me down. My head rolls on the head rest of the car. Rolling to the direction of the driver. I knew if i could open my eyes, i'd see a concerned face. Hell i can feel the pity in the eyes already. Who was it?? Leo? I jump again but this time only my torso jumps forwards for a fraction. My eyes are thunderously bashing against my eyelids pleading for whatever is happening to stop. My breathing comes out as raspy as the electricity starts to take over. The white veins emerge from my skin. Slowly slithering out causing my whole spine to curl in and arch towards the driver. The car hums increase in tempo telling me that they are speeding up trying to help me, i praise whoever is driving. Get me away from the city so i can't harm anybody again. The pain of the vein moving in a new direction on my face earned an high pitch yelp as i jerked away trying to stop whatever was happened. My hands went to the chair tightening my grip with my new found strength however, still unable to pry open my eyes. I let out groans of complaints, telling myself to stop. I yelp again when the vein keeps moving. I clench my jaw as i know that my power will leap out of me attacking anything, anyone. I'm going to seriously harm everybody in this car if i don't stop.

The car slams to a stop and i'm unbuckled but then someone slides underneath me. I grip at their shirt practically screaming that i am sorry in their ear. Their hand rubs circles on my back telling me they can take it. If my eyes were open they would be wide in surprise. I knew it was Leo. He could shield everyone. He knew i also knew this and was wanting me to target my power on his. My left hand pulls his shirt down whilst my right now full of little white veins like i had a henna tattoo. My palm spread out on his chest. Not an ounce of doubt leaked out of his aura in fact his aura was welcoming this- he was looking forward to this. My hand gripped his chest as the energy consumed us both making it hard for any other car to look at us. Making us stand out. I knew by the way the car was moving they were going down back allies trying to make us less of a target.

I feel myself relaxing. The feeling off the veins retracting made me flop against Leo burying my head into his neck hiding my guilty face from the others. His hand continued to rub circles on my back.

When the car came to another stop i knew we were back. But i was still unable to move and open my eyes. I was taken out off Leo's hands and cradled gently them supporting me like i was the most delicate thing in the world. I was placed on a soft bed and covered up.

"What happened?" Someone basically screamed when they saw someone attending to me.

"Her power," was the simple answer.

I felt the cosiness off the blanket slide down. I feel the wetness of some liquid being dabbed onto my had. My hand moves away from the sudden coldness but is held in place as they continue to dab and stroke the coldness onto my hand. When i felt the pricking, i knew what the cold was supposed to do. I hissed as the pricking started and tried to move my arm away but it was held down by someone incredibly strong. They stroked my forehead moving my loose hair away from my damp head.

My close eyes drift off into nothingness whilst i always felt the presence of someone watching over me. Stroking my hair as i fought the darkness.
