Healers blood

Chapter 7 Ana

I felt my powers move through my veins with a chill and the engines freeze I look to my right Jayce's hand on mine I hear the snap of his arm and he lets out a scream of pain when the jet hits the ground my neck snaps and I feel something fall from my neck but I didn't care I was worried about Jayce.  This is all my fault. I thought to myself I turn my head to Jayce but he was crying the grass I don't know why. I go to walk to him but my leg was stuck. I scream his name "Jayce" but he never hears I try to pull my leg out from under a piece of metal but I can't the metals to heavy. I feel a piece of metal sink into my leg I cry in pain the metal feels warm in my leg my blood is cold and it scares me my blood has never been cold. The metal starts to freeze I move my other leg and start to kick at the sharp metal until it breaks a piece stays in my leg every time I try to get it out it goes further in my skin I stand up but I have to sit back down. I feel dizzy and cold but it's not normal I feel dead but I'm not, I'm alive, I'm here. I move to my leg but I feel a piece of metal in my side this one I can take out, but I wish I didn't the blood stains the white shirt I put my hand on my side the cold blood hits my hand. I go to close my eyes but I won't. I will stay alive one hand on my leg and one on my stomach the tip of my fingers turn to ice when I see Jayce leave he doesn't even look for me he just leaves. I look down at my side my hands shaking in fear I feel like I'm going to throw up so this what it's like to die I thought to myself I sit down putting my head back on the plane. I swallow tasting blood in my throat and feel like I'm going to throw up. I feel my heart rate increase and it gets harder to breathe. I lay down now looking up at the sky hoping that will help but it doesn't my body's shutting down My legs and arms start to tingle I feel colder than I did before but I'm sweating and my skins pale. The anxiety that I'm dying is almost too much now my breathing shorting more to a dangerous rate. I stay laying down as I can't keep my eyes open anymore. Maybe if I die I'll be normal. I'll be a human. I feel my heart beat rapidly until it stops and I don't feel my breath anymore everything is dark. I see a light it beautiful everyone I love is their nanna is there she smiles at me and gives me her hand I take it. 
 " I've missed you, my dear". She brushes my hair short hair out of my eye her eyes aren't cloudy and her hair is like mine but straight and longer she's so beautiful  " Come with me" she says as we walk to the gates the clouds move away and I see Dominick crying in his bed Sylvies with him crying too. Then I see Jayce in our room Andrew's there too. I watch them when Andrew leaves Jayce finds my whiskey in the back Cubert he drinks from the bottle when's he's done he can barely stand but he gets another.
  " Nana I can't I'm not ready, I'm not ready to leave him ." Nana nodes her head letting go of my hand and walking into the gates I feel my skin it was warm and the scar on my cheek was gone. I take a deep breath and walk down a flight of stairs that look like stars back to earth I look back and the light fades away. I look at my cold body and step in. I feel my breath come back and my heart beat returning still to fast and I still can hardly breathe but I'm alive. I can feel my cold blood return to my body and the cold from my shirt goes away the plane moves away as all this is happening everything is going back in time I look down at my leg the cut still there and still deep but some is saving me my stomach still bleeding but I have hope. I feel the blood in my veins come back. I feel someone pick me up there breathing is almost calming. Jayce you came back you found me I thought to myself. He puts me in a car and when we start driving I fall asleep dreaming of my nana but she was screaming at me I didn't know why I wake up and look around the walls were white and they were made out of brick the light was an ugly sort of yellow I look at my clothes and I'm in a hospital gown. I start to panicked super blood got me they did they're going to interrogate me until I tell them everything. I start to hyperventilate I can't be back here no I can't. Jayce brought me here he's a spy he's always been a spy I thought to myself. The plane crash the attack on Helen that was him no Jayce wouldn't do that he's too good to the kind he would never do this. Tears start to roll down my checks how could ever be so trusting and so naive. The one person I loved more than my brother was a fake. Who knows who he really is. I thought tears going away and anger grows. Then I thought of one thing Andrew. I stand up ready to run out of this place I pull the ivy out of my arm and pull the breathing tubes out of my nose I run to the door but right when I open it someone grabs my arms and holds them behind my back  I let my arms freeze to an unbelievable cold and the person let's go of my arms I open the door and run out freezing the door behind me so the person can't get through people run up to me I freeze them at every turn I take. Someone runs up to me grabbing me by the arms I try to freeze their arms but it doesn't work they burn the ice off my arms. 
 They lean next to me and whisper in my ear. " Relax I know Andrew," she said her voice was kind and recognizable. She runs past me and I follow it was Zinnia she was still short but she was powerful she had fire powers she burns the wall down and someone else comes from the door she looks like she froze time in her room. I run with a limp my leg still hurts and my stomach aches at every turn I take but I keep running. Zinnia unlocks a door and two twins run out the door they keep becoming different people how old are they I thought. There was one more door but someone already opened it and was holding the person down it was Andrew. 
  " And you're alive," he said looking up at me I want to hug him but I restrain myself I freeze the person and he stops moving. " Well now what," Andrew said looking at the guy laying on the floor frozen. 
 " Well get him to go," the twins said picking the guy up without even touching him he floats in the air following the two twins. My legs go week Andrew catches me I brace myself on his shoulder we run out of the building and into a van the other four come in with us. Zinnia tries to unfreeze the one guy and keep him warm when the one girl starts to talk to me.
 " So what's your name mines Aidan," she said putting her feet up on the seat. 
 " I'm Ana, nice to meet you Aidan" One of the twins curls up next to her falling asleep on Aidan's chests Aidan's curly short hair blows in the wind as she plays with the Asian twin girls straight jet black hair. My mind wonder as I think of Jayce and me what I would give to fall asleep on his chest and hear his breathing and heartbeat. 
 " Your thinking of him aren't you," Andrew said looking at me his black eyebrow arched like the way he used to when we were kids. I nod my head and brush a piece of hair out of my eye. My hair was growing fast like it always does. " We have a new base for Helen was bombed a few days ago, only a few made it out," Andrew said Zinnia's head goes down and I notice Andrew looks at Zinna and tries to comfort her with a smile. I sleep on Andrews' shoulder the rest of the way. I dream about Jayce it was a nice dream we had a family it looked like it was Christmas our children open their presents by the fire. Jayce gives me a coffee and a kiss on the cheek. When I wake up I'm in a tent the sound of birds chirping around me. The dream I had was beautiful I never wanted to leave. Someone walks in the tent. 
 " Good morning sleepy head" It was Dominick I jump out of bed and give him a hug. " I thought you'd be happy to see me who isn't". Dominick said hugging me back I laugh at him but all I could think of was Jayce. 
 " How's Sylvie," I ask looking at Dominick his smile sinks and he looks sadder by the minute. I look back at with pity in my eyes and heart. 
  " She's okay," he said quickly. " But her family isn't if you want to talk to her you can," Dominick said and my heart sinks her family's not okay. What about May, I let out a gasp what about Jayce. I go to Sylvie's tent she was crying she held something in her hand but I didn't know what it was until I got closer to her it was a box I didn't bother to ask what was in it. 
 " How can they just die," she said, her voice was quiet and soft but I still heard it she looks at me with tears in her eyes I walk up to her and give her a hug. "Were they not strong enough"? I felt her tears on my shirt, rubbing her back she still cries. 
 " They were strong they just didn't know what was coming for them," I said tears start to roll down my face what if Jayce was dead. 
 Sylvie gives me a hug and whispers with a shaky voice. " Thank you" she sniffles her nose and let's go of me she picks up the box and starts to walk to the door. " Will you come with me?" she said looking at me her eyes well up with tears again. I nod my head we walk down to the forest and to a creek she gives the box a kiss then sets it gently in the water. 
  " What was in that box," I ask her my curiosity gets the best of me it had to be something that reminded her of her parents.
  She replied simply with " flowers " I tilt my head in confusion she held a funeral for flowers and cried over them.  She sat down on a rock and looked at the peaceful water of the creek. I sat down next to her. " The flowers are children and as innocent and loving as a child is that's how innocent and loving a flower is." I still didn't understand what she meant by it, but it looked like she was going to explain. " Dominick and I are trying to have a kid, but we can't" her eyes well up with tears again I hug her again but she stops crying.
 " Did Dominick know?" I ask looking at her I don't get along with Sylvie that much but Dominick is like a brother to me. 
 "No I didn't tell him about this one because I don't want him to get his hopes up when they come crashing down on him," Sylvie said and I respect her for that. Sylvie walks back to Dominick. I see Zinnia talking and laughing with Andrew. He waves goodbye and runs over to me.
 " What's with the smile Romeo," I ask his green eyes light up and he blushes walking backward he has a little skip in his step I walk up to Zinnia who was twirling her hair around in her fingers. I laugh and sit down next to her. 
 " Thank you for saving me back there" I said looking at her she looked nothing like Jayce her blonde hair and gold eyes almost fit her power then again most of our eyes do that's the one place were our powers appear the most when we use them but in her case I think it was genetics. Like me, she never got to meet her parents. 
 " Is it normal to lose someone in your life and not feel any emotion" Zinnia asks out of nowhere. 
 I moved uncomfortably in the grass taking a deep breath I say " Some people process things differently you just haven't understood what happened yet" I said looking at her with sadness.  
  " But I did understand I was there I saw them die and I'm still not sad or even mad". She took a deep breath and looked at Sylvie and Chloe May was there to run around them. " sometimes I think I'm not related to them." I look at Zinnia and I become very nervous I can't lie and I can't tell her the truth" you probably just aren't adjusting to your parents' death". I said with shock I lied to someone without even thinking. She's not sad because they aren't her parents. Zinnia puts her head down picking at the grass her hair blonde hair falls to the side of her face. 
 " Do you think Jayce will come back?" Zinnia said looking at me again her eyes wide and sad.
 " I think he will," I said looking out at the forest is dark which made the green of the trees look darker and the day turns dark I feel a raindrop hit my cheek. Bright white lightning clashes with a tree causing it to split that were Jayce's lightning I thought to myself Zinnia and I run into a tent Andrew was there to thunder booms not long after the lightning I walk by the tent door watching the rain come down. I see someone walking to the camp and I knew who it was. Tears run in his eyes. " Jayce" I yell and run out of the tent I feel the rain hit my skin but I keep running and Jayce runs to running until we meet our lips touch. A flash of lightning clashes and thunder follows Jayce picks me up and spins mine in his arms.
  " I thought you were dead I watch you die," he said setting me down I shrug my shoulders still smiling at him I've never been this happy in a long time Sylvie, Chloe, Zinnia, and May run to him next giving him a hug. We walk back to the tent soaked in the rain still poured down on the tent walls after we all get changed I curl up next to Jayce and he puts his arm around me. Chloe, Zinnia and, Andrew play cards at a table. Jayce gets up to talk to Dominick and Sylvie sits down next to me looking at Dominick who was laughing about a joke that he made. 
  " I know we don't get along very much but those people right there is the reason we're both here now," she said smiling at Dominick and Jayce. I nod my head and grab her hand. 
 " We're all in this together we can learn to get along?" I said smiling at Sylvie.
