The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Fifteen

My whole body trembles as i tell Leo who i had seen. My hands were wobbly and my legs were like jelly that he had made me sit down to tell him everything. He was the only one here who knew about my past. Hell he lived it with me. The things that.. That monster made us do. Viciously, i shake my head bringing a fist up to my head and tapping it lightly. Like the two missed together would get rid of all these memories flooding my every move.

At first they came back in my dreams. Enabling me in a fight of toss and turn until i gave up all together of sleeping. Eventually, i would pass out and get the sleep my body needs and deserves but until that time where i am not even conscious i decided, i'd not sleep. Because of my stubbornness his face was on everybody i passed. I dare not even look at Leo as i tell him in case i see his eyes staring back. Leo pats my back sympathetically as i sob my story to him. Our story. One that is catching up to us.

A slight cool shiver shoots down my spine at that thought. We'd have to leave, to stop him doing this again or to even make him chase us. I slam my fists down on my thigh hissing slightly at the pain. After my meltdown of power, my thighs had became a soft spot. I had not dared look at what was causing the tenderness. My hands slowly move to my face covering my eyes to rest. My elbows against my thighs as i just sit there close to Leo as he strokes my hair softly and whispers comfortable words to me.

It felt nice to get attention from males without having to look at them. Without knowing if they actually cared or if my power had been doing it usual thing on them which did not come in handy, for that very reason. I smile against my palm at the thoughts. But the smile soon disappears when even when not looking around- the monster creeps into my brain. All because i had seen him when getting supplies with Dean. I had not mentioned anything to him. Only to drive around a little in case anyone followed us in the store, thinking we were suspicious, he had agreed in a heartbeat saying it was a logical thing of me to think off. I did not want him to worry about this or even ask questions. I wanted it to be how it was before. But on my way back all i could see was that monsters face. As soon as we got back, i ran. Ran away from Dean and helping him unload.

I ran straight to where Leo said he would be, i ran straight into his open arms as i let out quite sob into his chest. He knew something was wrong as he pulled us into a storage room where no where ever goes and that's where we are currently, him trying to comfort me whilst i just see his face everywhere. It made my skin itch just thinking off him. It my blood boil a hot red, as he thought he could be proud of someone he had once broken.

My body aches as I pull myself to sit up in the bed, I bring my hands up to rub my eyes. I had finally slept for hours. I had finally dreamed without the nightmare of that monster seeping in and turning everything dark. I raised my hands up in a stretching type of way.

The muffled shouts and screams make me snap out of my day dream. I leap off of the bed and steadily walk to the door. I lean forward ever so slightly, my eyes just looking past the door frame seeing people run. I push myself to walk after them. My body won't allow me to walk faster bringing the tension to get caught in my throat. I felt my self clenching my hands at the side of my body, to stop myself I make myself play with the hem of my shirt as I slowly walk.

My heart starts bumping against my chest with every step I take. Biting my lip in anticipation. My right hand trails the wall as I walk coming to a halt when I know that whatever the commotion is just around this corner.

My eyes blink rapidly as I press my back firmly against the wall. With my right hand I sweep my hair out of my eyes. I take a firm bite of my lip as I step into the corridor to see what's happening.

I feel like I'm in slow motion as my small leg brings down my foot to the floor. The sound of my bare foot sends a vibration up my leg as the sound rings in my ear.

My eyes widen when I see him just standing there, a cocky smirk written on that dark face of him. I unconsciously take a few steps back, I couldn't stop my mouth opening in shock. How? Why? I thought I was careful when coming back.

My mouth snaps shut before my eyes clench shut just a little bit as I show him my judgment. His eyes reluctantly leave me as he is pulled away by one of the leaders.

When his eyes finally leave me and I see his dark silhouette blend into the shadows in the distance. When he is out of my site, I let out a sigh of breath that I did not even realise I was holding in.

He was here. Her was here, in this building. Leo! Where is Leo?

I retreat the way I came in hopes that maybe Leo thought he'd come see me. My body allows me to push myself, quicker than how I first found out he was here. My body was on a high adrenaline rush realising, I had to leave and by I, I mean both of us. Leo and me before he makes us do those horrible things. Again.

We didn't waste anytime. We just grabbed a few things before we ran. Leo had apologised millions of times for making me use my power. We had left their cars there as we did not want to take one of their cars, they needed them. To win against The Faculty. I hated that we couldn't join the fight but I also hated this monster more. They'd be able to focus on that if we went as he will follow.

I did not tell Leo but I had slyly left a note telling Dean why we had to leave, just informing him something had happened and hopefully we'd run into each other soon.

Once outside, I place my hand on the car. I focus slightly, my eyes flashing yellow-white and the viens appeared. Not reallt feeling the pain because I'm still high from adrenaline. Leo and i praticually threw our things into the back before we set off. Alone again.
