The Symbol of Life

Chapter Nineteen: Holding the Power

Alex had stood still. Both Alex's had stood still. Alex, the true Alex, had been wondering what this truly was. Hazel looked like she didn't know either. Alex's symbol started to glow a bright orange and flickered rapidly. It flickered like a fire. Made since because Alex's power was fire. She watched as it flickered then looked up. She saw her fake disappear and reappear in a different location. She felt weak and her double dissipated. She then saw nothing, a second later standing where her double was.

"What just happened," Hazel shrieked.

"I don't know," Alex said, shaking horribly.

"I'm starting to believe the rumor of there being yet another two-time power user."

Alex stared at her confused. Hazel clearly noticed this since she spoke again.

"Your another person who has two powers. It is very rare. At first it was a rumor I didn't want to believe."

"Oh, I ge..."

She was cut off by Hazel.

"I watched my brother die. He had a target on his back because of his double power, so do I and now you."

"Wait you have two powers?"

Hazel nodded her head clearly not wanting to speak again. Hazel still spoke.

"I am. I have the power of flight and heat vision. No one but us two know. My first power that was shown was my flight."

"Okay I want to see you fly a bit."

"Okay."

Alex watched as Hazel put one foot one the other and held out her hands; palms face up. She looked like she was concentrating. Then she lifted up off the ground. About a foot. Alex then for the first time noticed that Hazel was wearing a dress. Just above her knees. I could never do that. I can't even wear a tank top with out feeling insecure. Then she noticed where Hazels symbol was. It was on her right leg. Shining a nice silver. It then gained a red line through the middle. The sign of her powers. Was that why Alex's flickered. Because she could teleport. No that couldn't be it. It hadn't shown her second one. She heard a thump and jumped. She looked at Hazel. A burn mark on her arm. The mark wasn't a normal mark. It had a message.
