CHOSEN (ON HOLD)

CHAPTER 5

Adam's P.O.V

      "Amelia... "

I tried calling her but she left too fast. What just happened? Did she burn me? No, I don't think she would do that. The feeling came as a spark. Like when you hit two stones together. Then it ignited into a furnace. A very hot one. It wasn't painful. It vanished immediately she left.

Maybe she misused her powers? Or something went wrong with it? Gosh, I'm scared. What have i gotten myself into? I can't back out now. I can't. It's too late. I just found what i have been searching for, I can't let it go. Not because I'm scared.
 
       I leaped as joy washed over me. Dad will be so proud of me! I'm not the coward he thinks I am. I will help cure him and our lives would be back to normal. Mom would become her vibrant self once more. She's the one I care for most.
 
        If I haven't told you, my Dad has an unknown disease for more than 10 years. This disease will shorten his life. He will get aged quickly. The most traumatic part is the pain. He can't bear physical pains. I don't know how to explain this.

I remember when I was younger, about the time Dad's sickness started, I made a cardboard plane. I blew air into it and threw it upwards. It hit Dad and his reaction surprised me. He started screaming and crying like a little child would do. Mom had to inject him to sleep. Funny right? 

Then, I didn't understand what happened. I thought Dad had gone crazy until mom explained his illness to me. She told me  Dad needed extreme care. A little tap would seem like a stab to him. No one touches him. Just imagine him battling with this problem for years and finding the only girl that can cure it. He would be so proud of me.
     
        Hell yes, Amelia is the only girl that can make Dad's sickness go away in expense of her life. She just has to do the trick, cure him and die being a hero.

      Dad had told me I'm the only one that could find her and make her cure him. Find her, yes but make her cure him, I'm not sure about that. I mean, how do I make someone willingly give up her life?

I had lost hope in finding someone I know nothing about. I was only told that I would feel her when I find her. Yes, that was true. I felt her. On my first trip to the woods, I had sat on that rock she claimed staring at my family's picture, wondering if I would ever find her, if we would ever be happy again when I felt her. It was like my whole system leaped. Somehow I knew it was her.
 
      Before I got the chance to do something, she was already leaving. I didn't tell Dad. I didn't want his hope up and then let it drop when we find out she's not the one. But now, I'm sure. I took charge of the mission. I began pulling her with my force.
 
           I have an energy. Like a force. Yeah, I call it force. I can pull whoever I want to myself. I found out when I was 12. Dad and mom didn't know what it was. I began training it until I could pull anybody. No one has ever been able to resist my pull except for the chosen girl. She had been powerful enough to ignore it for three days.
   
     When she finally came, I thought she would ask me why or how I pulled her but instead she came to fight for an ordinary rock and a tree she own because she inscribed her name on it.
   
    I got home, ran with so much energy into Dad's room and broke the good news.
   
              "I found her".
