Chapter 4

On the fourth day, Peter comes in and sits by me. "Emma if you don't eat you will die and I need you to stay alive." I wanted to go somewhere else but I am getting weaker so I close my eyes. "Emma eat please."

"Why should I eat. Nick, who could have been my brother, is gone and I dont have any parents. If I lose one thing then I would fall to pieces," I said in a weak voice.

"But you have me and Mike. What else do you need," he said in a pleading voice.

"You and Mike are all I have left and that is my weakness. I don't need a weakness." I said it plain and simple. He walked out and into the hall. He said something to someone. Mike comes in a few minutes later.

"Emma you need to eat and then you can complain to us. Until then you will start hallucinating and that is not good," he said.

"Have you ever been in the same situation," I asked and tried to get up but couldn't.

"I lost my parents when I was ten and I had no relatives alive so I wondered around. I thought I could die if I didn't eat. I thought I had nothing to live for but then I realized I could have a future. Then I started eating, hoping I could find someone like me and I did." While he was telling this I started to think, I could have a life.

"Your right but I am losing my strength and I dont want Peter to get hurt." I was saying what I thought.

"I know, we are both worried about Peter," he said.

"I want to go to school tomorrow and I dont want Peter following me everywhere I go." I was complaining again.

"I will tell him to keep his distance but he will keep an eye on you for me. Now eat while I have to go talk to him," he said and left me alone. I started to eat and it looked gross but tasted good. I finished in no time. Then I fell back and went to sleep.

I was on the bridge and I couldnt hear. I was the only one here. I went to the side and looked over. "Hello, anybody," I yelled. No one answers. I got on to the side. I wanted this all to be over. I jumped off the side head first. I hit the water in seconds.

I woke up drenched in water and I choked up water. Peter came in when he heard the noise.

"Emma what happened," he said as he ran to me.

"I dont know." I choked up more water.

"Mike, come here quick," Peter said over his shoulder. A second later Mike is walking in the room.

"What happened," Mike asked.

"I dont know." Water kept coming up.

"What did you dream," Mike asked.

"Falling into the water," I said coughing now.

"Her dream are coming real. Emma are you ok," he asked but I just kept coughing.

"Emma are you ok," Peter asked me and I nodded.

When I finally stopped coughing I asked, "Why are my dreams so real now?" I just had to know.

"We have no idea of what we are dealing with," Mike said.

I wanted to use my powers on my homework but Peter told me not to use my powers until I needed them. I thought I could think of a way to use my powers, but they kept growing.

I finally got the courage to tell him. "Peter is it normal for me to have my powers still growing?"

"I dont know if youre asking the right person," he said it like I wasnt supposed to tell him.

"I have all these weird things going on. Tell me if you can hear this." I wanted to see if he could hear my voice inside my head if I wanted to. So I thought of my powers. My powers are still growing.
