Gifted

Chapter XXX: If It Ends Here

Why?, I ask myself once again. What else could he want from me?

-What do you want from me?! Huh?! You've already taken my family away from me, what else is there to get me to snap?, I yell, filled with rage.

-Is there nothing we can work out? Please?, Jason says, his voice trembling.

For a few seconds, the field is quiet again. Is he planning something? What else would he be able to do? I'm left with only my friends by my side. I suddenly remember that I caused this. I should have let Carter take me instead of agreeing with his stupid deal. I've still got something left, right? Then Carter steps closer, and says,:

-I've got almost everything I need from you. All but one.

Then, he did the worst thing. He had gotten to Jason. Within a few seconds, Collins had him from behind. I stand there, tempted to attack him.

-If you come over to my side, I'll spare him, he says with a smirk that could only mean one thing.

This is a trick, I can feel it. I can hear it.

-No.

Soon enough, it was over. This had not ended the way I wanted it to. Jason.. Jason had been killed by the man who had once been his friend, decades ago.

Minutes after, Myles and I had fought whoever had still been alive, although still never defeating Collins in the process.

As we get to the TARDIS, which I would have thought to have been destroyed in the fightI start to think,: Is this what life has come to?

-You okay, Ash?, Myles asks me. Her voice shakes as she holds back tears. I really wish I could lie about this.

-Nope. But people need to move on, right? Now let's get going. We'll need to find a place to live. We need to get away from this place. Set course to the future, the past,.. Really anywhere but here.

She gets to the control console with saying a word, and we drive, waiting, trying to forget.

Time to start anew, because our end here has just passed.

I wake up in my room in a cold sweat.

I hear Ashton yell as he did the first morning of school.. Actually, exactly like how he did.

I'm confused.. Was everything that happened just a dream? My mind trying to tell me something, to keep me from something dangerous? Probably not.

Alright, I should get up. My new life at school awaits me.
