The unOrdinary

Chapter 17: Name: Emma, Ability: Gust, Level: 4.2

I could feel the pain going away and I could finally move again. I open my eyes and get up slowly, there was still pain but it wasn't as bad as before. When I was back up I could hear laughter and someone saying "STOP!" I begin to turn my attention towards the yelling and laughter. Miguel was yelling at someone to stop, I turn my attention to what he was yelling at. When I turned my attention to what Miguel was yelling at, the sight scared me. Gabriel had an ax made out of ice raised in the air and he was about to swing it down on Eli. 

"GABRIEL STOP!" I yell. He swung his ax but stopped halfway, I got his attention I have to keep that attention on me. 

"Gabriel stop this and calm down," I said. "Gabriel focus, you have to focus. Don't do it, don't go back to your old ways. You swore to yourself that you wouldn't be that guy anymore, and you promised me you would not hurt anyone again. Don't break that promise. That was the past you. You're better than this." 

Gabriel looked at me then to Eli, he began to shake. He was shaking in the realization of what he was doing. He dropped the ax and began to stumble backward. His eyes in shock and fear. his voice trembling. When he backed away from Eli he fell to his knees. 

"W-what did I just do?" Why? WHY DID I DO THIS?!" Gabriel was angry and frustrated with himself. He began to cry and slam his fist into the ground. 

Miguel walked towards me. "Emma?" He said. "What the hell was that? Gabriel acted different there, he was more violent and had a crazy look in his eyes."

"Not crazy Miguel, angry. He was angry when Gabriel reaches to a certain point he loses control and becomes more rash and berserk."

"Why?"

"That's something I can't say if Gabriel chooses so he will discuss his past with you. But his past is something you shouldn't take lightly. He's been through so much. So if he wants to he'll tell you himself, in the meantime, we have to get out of here."

"O-ok, yeah. Now that your back up I can tell you where we're meeting. The school entrance, that's where everyone is regrouping."

"Right, I'll catch up. I'm going to make sure Gabriel is alright."

"Ok, see you there." 

Miguel then runs out of the library and was gone. I turn towards Gabriel, I walk over to him slowly and sit beside him.

"Gabriel, are you ok?" I said in a soft voice.

"I reverted back to my old way. That's the first time it's happened in a year. I thought I wasn't that guy anymore but I-" 

"Gabriel. Your not that guy anymore. You're better and you've changed. I'm happy you did too. You were going down a dark path."

Gabriel looked at me with tears still in his eyes, but there was a small smile on his face. "I changed because you got me out of that path," Gabriel began to get back up and wiped away his tears and smiled. "Thank you, Emma."

"Your welcome," There were loud footsteps above us and there was a lot of them. "Come on, let's get out of here."

Gabriel and I rush out the library and we look to our right. Carter, Amira, and Collin were running from the other students. Gabriel didn't hesitate and rushed forward and made an ice wall between the students and us. Carter and the other two that had little care for were safe from the students. 

"Ha, ha, thanks Gabriel." Said Carter taking deep breaths. 

"Now is not the time to thank me, we still have to get out of here. We got to get to the front entrance quickly, I hope you have a plan."

"Yep, once out we head to the train station and head to our homes get any belongings of ours. Then head to an address that was given to me by a friend."

"Alright, then let's get the hell out of here!" 

We all run down the hallway towards the school entrance. Once there we meet up with Miguel, Alaska, Charles, and Lynn.

"Ok guys let's get out of here now!" Said Carter.

We ran out of the school grounds towards the train station. While running we could hear a chilling roar that sounded like Midnight yelling in frustration.

"Everyone we're going to scatter, get to your homes. Get your belongings that you will need. I don't know how long we're going to be gone. So get as much as you can. We will regroup at the mall," said Carter.  "Everyone got that?"

We all either say yes or nod. "Alright, we'll regroup soon." 

We board the train and waited for our stops. Everyone got off at their own stops. Eventually, my stop came up. I get off and headed straight home. 

8 minutes later.

I get home and unlock the door with my key. I go inside and nobody was home. My little brother was at school and my parents were working. I head to my room and got out a suitcase, and began to pack clothes and personal items. Once done I leave my room and head back towards the door before I left I look back and took a look at my house one more time. I wasn't going to see it for a while. I'll miss it and my family. I then turn back towards the door and leave locking the door. With one last look, I say goodbye and leave.
