The Girl With Gifts

Chapter Twenty eight

Shrieks continued to fill the silence as the thunder crackled throughout the seconds we had in silence.

My whole body silently and slowly, made its way into a crouching position and my hand held the flooring, it was dangerous for me to use this part of my power, especially since there was a thunder storm however, everybody needed the help I could offer.

I bit down on my lip as the veins made their way onto my body, as I sucked up the electricity. My blond hair now replaced by a blue lightning type thing. My eyes were no longer my beautiful blue but instead was the ice white. I smile at the brother reassuring them that even though, I change drastically I'm still in control.

"Let's go." Is all I say before we exit the room. We slowly but together, creeped the dark corridors. I was being a beacon but luckily, you couldn't even see the boys. It looked like I was alone. My heart was thumping against my chest, he was here and maybe he was finally going to disappear. My eyes looked to Axel, it all depended on him.

We three moved aimlessly around the corridor. What if he wasn't here? It needed to be over. I sent a spurt of energy through the last corridor lighting up the army of people protecting him. How he got so many on his side in so little time, I do not know.

The devil man stood glaring at me with a joker smile on his face, his evil laughs filling the silence of our confused and ready to fight faces. My eyes scrunched together as I glared at him and the others who had easily been manipulated by him. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Axel awkwardly shuffle on his feet, he was scared. As he should be. We had a chance to end this and we needed too. Once and for all.

Without hesitating a moment longer. My hand throw out a bolt as my hair turned a shade darker, signaling that I was more angry and using my power to hurt. I've never used it like this before. Axels brother took my stance and started using his earth powers to make sure that we all were covered if anyone was to strike back. Axel on the other hand, was stood still, paralysed in whatever was happening in his mind.

The monster just chuckled as we continued to try to hurt him. My body flew up into the hair and electricity crackled around me as I went crashing into a wall, my back arched as I turned over, coughing and wiping my mouth. My blank eyes fixed on the monster as I sent another wave of electricity out. Only aiming for him.

Axel seemed to have snapped out of whatever trance he was in when he turns to look at me, his hand reaching for mine. My hand quickly reaches out and takes his. Anger makes him trigger or when he's scared, I need to use my power to trigger his. Axel, I believe in you.

I close my eyes blanking everyone out, axels brother creates a wall of brick around me and his brother and also him, making it impossible to strike us. My arms focus on sending vibrations and electricity into his body. I focus on making the current strong and punishing, to awaken his demon. It would be hell for
everybody when that happens.

My breathing clasped in on itself as the monster was now stood infront of me, his face close enough that I could smell his minty but rotten breathe, it made me inwardly puke. Back when I was under his spell I loved the closeness but now I despised it. I clenched my teeth as he just continued to smile as his hand stroked my face. My eyes flinched and focused on Axel as he touched my face, I was holding my breath throughout everything he was doing to me. And I hate that I couldn't focus enough to get him to stop. I hated that I could not save myself.

Behind the monster I could see Dean, his eyes staring blankly at me. More like through me, he wasn't even in charge of himself anymore, he was more like a walking dead body. Someone who was just imitating life, someone whose brain was not working anymore. Is this what was in store for all of us. I shudder at the thought. That was not going to happen.

Axels body began shaking violently as his eyes turned red, he lurched forward and tackled the monster down. My electricity crackled at this keeping his people, people he manipulated back.

Axel and the monster tackled each other turning over and over again. Axels body was shaking with every movement.

The monster completely ignored Axel pushing him to the side whilst he wrapped his hands round my neck and squeezed.

"You can't get away from me Lyria, I am every where and you can not hide from me. Anywhere!" His voice was like a kick to the gut, I couldn't get the thought of everything he has made me and others do. I could not get the thought of his face when he first found me. My eyes started to blur as water gathered, I can't believe what he made me! I was a monster. People who knew of what I did, probably still believe I am a monster.

His hands tighten on me as my neck throbbed, I knew I wanted to scream, to cry, to fight back but I just couldn't bring myself too. The energy around me began to fade as I accepted what the monster wanted to do, if he wanted to take me I'd let him and if he wanted to kill me, he could.

Axel fist game straight through the monster chest, stopping straight in front of my face, my mouth snapped open as my head banged into the wall. My hand went up to rub the spot which had been hit whilst I store blindly at the now falling body. He was gone.

It had been two months since Axel had done what he did to the monster. To say everything had returned to normal would be a happy reminder that he was the bad guy however, nothing had changed which meant it was more than what he was doing or his manipulation had run deep. It was safe to say that more people were accepting them and standing out and protesting for them however, the faculty was still in operation and me and Axel decided to stay out of this for good. We had seen our fair share of things, bad things. If they wanted the faculty destroyed they needed to find someone else, I was not putting myself through those things. Not again.
