A Night to Kill

Chapter 2

                            Powers of my Blue Jay

Stepping out of the truck I looked out across miles of beautiful prairie and to the side a long lake with geese lining the edges and crowding the middle. There were tons of wild flowers covering the prairie in layers of wonderful smells. Reaching down he grabbed me a beautiful boquete of flowers. 

“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” he gracefully asked motioning towards the wonderful land. 

Looking around I suddenly realized this was one of our memories I had chosen to forget. We used to talk about going somewhere just like this when we grew up, and we would build a huge cabin surrounded with wild horses. We always dreamed big, but we were young we could do that and not have to face any consequences, or be told that dreams that big could never be filled.

“It’s more than I ever could of ever wished for,” I answered. 

 She looked so amazed, I knew then she remembered how this was what we always used to dream of, together. 

“Why did you bring me here?” she insisted breaking me out of thought.

“What do you mean, why did I bring you here? I this is what we always dreamed of I just wanted to show you that we can have it, and that all those grown ups who said we couldn’t were shamefully wrong,” he explained somewhat offended by my question. 

“This can’t be real,” I said looking at him.

“ All you have to do is wish it away,” he said.

“It’s not that easy,” I yelled.

“Yes it is, your a certain kind of special,” he said looking away from me.

“What the hell does that mean?” I said a little softer.

“You have powers, I know you can hear my thoughts if you want to, and you can wish away anything if you truthfully want them to leave,” he explained.

“Okay, I will try it,” I answered.

To be honest I was afraid that she would wish all of it away, because with all her memories I get wished away as well and I wasn’t ready to leave her again.

“I can’t do it, I don’t want any of it to go away, I am not ready to lose you again,” I muttered.

Suddenly she looked at me with depressing eyes, all the color had faded from her body, and she collapsed into my arms. She was so cold everywhere but her lips,leaning down I kissed her forehead and then her rosy red lips so soft and like cotton candy. She just laid there like a dead Dandelion, so colorless but so soft.

“Somebody help me, nooo,” I screamed.

Looking over my shoulder a cloud of dust formed behind me and out popped my lesson giver.

“What happened to her?” he questioned.

“I was telling her about how to use her powers and then she couldn’t wish all this away and then she didn’t want to lose me, and now we are here,” I explained quickly. “What can we do, I can’t lose her it wouldn’t be fair,” I ranted.

“If you really love her like you do kiss her lips until they turn cold and then the rest of her body will fill with your love, if not her lips will stay hot and she will stay like this forever,” he instructed.

Leaning down I kissed her lips and they weren’t turning colder.

“Come on Kerena come back to me he can’t take you from me, not yet,” I screamed at her.

“Shhhh I am sure the whole prairie can here you bonehead,” she answered running her hand through my hair and down my cheek.

“Oh god, I thought you had left me forever,” he said so quickly.

“What do you mean?” I asked not knowing what had happened.

“The god of powers takes people randomly without reason, I thought he had taken you, he takes the ones with the strongest powers,” He rushed into my thoughts.

“What do you mean the strongest powers?” I asked confused.

“I mean you are one of the rare cases, who had the power of the sheild, no one can get to you unless they have higher power over you and, the god of powers does,” Ki said stressed.

“Well he sounds more like a devil than a god,” I goofed trying to lighten the mood.

She was so knew to all this and I couldn’t blame her for not wanting to listen to all this bullshit, but if she didn’t learn she would be taken from me with in months.I couldn’t protect her anymore, all I could do was help her learn how to defend herself, how to understand every way around and way to demolish someone else’s powers.

“So true,” I said forcing a smile to show her assurance.

“Shall we start?” she asked excitedly.

“Um sure, first lets figure out how to control your weather changing power,” he said taking my hand.

“Wait how many powers do I have? yo only have two,” She questioned.

“You have them all since you are a shield,” he told me.

Taking my hand in his, he raised it pointed it at the flowers and told me to relax and choose the weather. Breathing in and then out he slowly brought my hand down as it tingled I watched the flowers be drowned in a soft cool rain. Turning to look at him he smiled at me and then after a long glance he leaned in and kissed me with his warm wet lips. Running one hand through my hair and stopping a bit after my ear, his other hand ran down my back and placed it’s self just above my butt.Pulling me into a harder more intense kiss that I had never expierenced before, with someone.

Holding her was one of the best feelings I would ever expierence in my life, being just a bit taller then her I could gently lift her onto her tip toes and pull her into an intense everlasting kiss. Slowly releasing her from my grasp, she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and smiled that smile that could lift anyone’s spirits no matter how bad their day was. 

“So should we test the next one,” I said breaking the silence, though I could of stayed that way forever. 

“Oh ya, what is it?” she asked caught off guard.

“changing your appearance to whoever you need to be at the time,” he told me raising my hand just above my head.

“Now think of who you want to be, think hard,” he spoke softly bringing my hand down over my face.

Looking into the reflection of his sunglasses my appearance was the appearance of the Kim Kardashian, when I spoke I didn’t sound like me it was her. Ki just stared at me, I told him not to drool to much we don’t have a mop that big, and he just laughed smile wide.

“Perfect that’s good for today lets go back your mom might get worried,” he said glancing away.

Walking to the car something changed in his body language, he was sulking like he knew something bad was gonna happen. Hopping into the truck I sat there and watched the rain race down the window. 

“Are you okay Ki?” I asked him.

“Oh ya, fine,” he said forcing a smile to make me feel better.

The ride home was quiet just the sound of the love songs on the radio and the rain were saying anything, looking at him I couldn’t shake the feeling I was gonna lose him again. Reaching over he took my hand like he did when we were kids and he was scared, and squeezed tight as we whipped around each curve slowly making our way home.
