Taken (One direction/ Liam Payne fan fic)

Powers and Break-ups

Cat's POV:

What can I say about the kiss?

It was blissful, romantic, just simply amazing.

It was everything I had imagined it to be.

But I knew Liam probably regretted it, he was still dating Danielle. I could not face him after that, scared that he would say that the kiss was a mistake.

But it was not a mistake. It was fate.

I had tried to read his mind afterwards to see his thoughts on the kiss, but I came up with nothing.

It was strange, my powers had never failed me before. So, after I had said an awkward good bye to Liam I went into the forest to see if my other powers were working.

Lifting up my hand to control the water, I was surprised to see that nothing happened. The water remained still like it had not even been affected.

So I tried again,

and again.

I started to become frustrated. So I tried to grow a flower from the soil, but nothing happened.

I tried to cause a harsh wind to blow through the trees,

but nothing happened.

Facing one of the trees I tried to concentrate hard on setting it on fire.

Again, nothing happened.

What was happening to me? My powers had always been easy to use ever since I was turned, so why was I having troubles now?

Giving up after two hours, I walked back to the house and saw that everyone was watching a show on the television.

Huffing, I plopped down next to Flame and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Flame whispered.

"I do not know. My powers are not working." I replied. I saw Demetrius glance at me from the corner of my eye.

"Have you tried reading someone's mind?"

"Yeah I tried to earlier, but it did not work." I said with a hint of frustration. We were talking in hushed tones to make sure no one heard our conversation.

"Maybe it will work now. Why don't you try it out." Sighing I tried to read Flame's mind, but came up with nothing.

One by one, I tried to look into everyone's mind, but still I could not hear their thoughts. Not even a whisper.

"Nothing." I muttered. Flame looked at me in confusion. She was about to say something but was interrupted by Niall, "Where are you going mate?"

We all turned to see Liam standing by the steps. I saw him look at me, "I just have to go pick up Dani from rehearsals."

I tried to keep my emotions blank, but when I made eye contact with Liam I quickly adverted my gaze to the television. I heard him sigh as he left.

"We will talk about it later." muttered Flame. I nodded.

************************************

About an hour later we heard the door slam shut so hard that the pictures on the wall moved.

It was Liam. His face was a bright red color. He was angry.

No, he was furious.

"You okay there?" asked Harry. But Liam ignored him and marched up to his room. We heard some glass breaking, and pounding on the walls.

Niall was just about to go see if he was okay, when Danielle rushed through the door. She had tears running down her eyes, and was shaking uncontrollably.
