Lost In Your Light

Chapter 12 - Bright Lights

Emily's POV

"What do you mean with she found me?", I asked. And who is she?

"Yeah, well, what do you think I mean smartass?"

"No need to be so mean Wyatt."

"Stop talking and please help me! My life is on the line here not yours."

"Okay, okay calm down. We will figure something out.", I told Wyatt to calm him. Then I turned to Tyler with hopeful eyes. "Tyler, what do we do?"

He looked at ground, deep in thought. To be honest, I'm not sure what's going to happen or if we can prevent it from happening. If she's as powerful as Wyatt claims she is, there's not much we could do. I mean I'm just a normal human being and Tyler is an angel with no special powers. "How are the chances that we could stop her?" I thought out loud. Well done Emily.

"Close to zero.", Wyatt replied with visible concern in his voice.

Leaving isn't an option because she already knows we are here - he - is here. There has to be something we can do. Even if it's just a small chance, we have to take every opportunity we get. Wyatt's sudden talking ripped me from my toughts.

"We do have a chance but I don't know if it works." I gave him a confused look and motioned to him to continue.

"What I'm going to tell you will probably freak you out. Because you can see supernatural creatures like us you have special powers. Due to your age you don't have them yet but we can force them to show up.", he stated.

"How is that possible?" Before I could ask more he continued to explain.

"Your father had also powers. Everyone who has those had different abilities. For example I have the ability to use spells and to control time. The problem is that if I mess up the time horrible things can happen. Oh and the last part of my powers is to read people's minds but you already know that. Your father is able to teleport and instantly knows how someone is feeling just by looking into someone's eyes. You see, the combination of them is not always making any sense."

Wow... I didn't know something like that existed. And I'm supposed to have that too? I believe it when I see it.

"To enable your powers, you have to be set under alot of stress and anxiety. I know it sounds horrible - which it is - but this is our only chance to survive."

I don't know if I really want to do that. I know it would be the right thing to do but what is Wyatt planning to do to set me in a stressful situation?

"Are you ready?", he asked and interrupted my thoughts. It can't get any worse right?

"Let's do this.", I said, determined to help.

---------

I woke up in the middle of darkness. I couldn't see a thing, not even my own hand in front of my eyes. What the fuck was he going to do? A sudden movement right next to me startled me and I began to panic. What should I do? Suddenly, whispered a voice my name. The voice got louder and louder until it was somewhere near me. Then it stopped. I felt myself starting to freak out. What the heck is going on?

After a few minutes I heard the bushes rustling but I couldn't feel any kind of wind. I didn't dare to move just in case there was something which could attack me. I pulled all my courage together and tried to call out if there was anyone. I didn't get an answer but I expected none either.

I felt that someone is watching me. It is very uncomforable and made me even more scared. Keep it together Emily.

"Scared already?", The voice suddenly asked. To say that startled me is an understatement.

Tyler? There's a car driving on our lane. It's coming closer! No, no, no please not those memories again. I can't dodge it. It's already too close. Please stop. Hold on Emily. I can't... He's going to crash our car!

"Stop!", I screamed to stop this horrible memories. When I slowly opened my eyes I could finally see my surroundings. But how? I looked around and noticed the trees were lying on the ground, the bushes don't have any leaves on them anymore and where does this light come from? Nothing near me is emitting light but what is it then? I soon realized that I was the source of light. Oh my god, it worked. Wyatt managed to force my powers to surface. I can't believe it, I really do have them.

A bright white light appeared in front of me like the one in the hospital. I walked towards it and was immediately swallowed by it. A few seconds later, I found myself in heaven again. Once the bright disappeared, I felt mysekf looking for Tyler. When his eyes met mine, he walked up to me and asked if I was okay. I told him what happened and he seemed to relax a little after he heard that I had my powers now.

"Where's Wyatt? He has to help me to control my powers before I destroy something, or even worse, hurt someone."

"He's somewhere he calls his 'hiding place'. I'll bring you there.", Tyler replied and I nodded. We walked in silence for a short while until we came across a weird looking cabin. Well, I hope this isn't where he is planning to train me.

"Don't worry. It's not the cabin itself where he is staying. Inside is a ladder, which leads underground where his hideout is.", Tyler said. I mumbled a 'Thank god' and followed Tyler further in the darkness.

As soon as we found the door, which probably lead to Wyatt, I started to think about this whole situation. If we really have no chance to defeat her without my powers, does that mean everything depends on me? I need to be stronger than her or at least as strong as her to make an impact. Luckily, I won't be alone. I have no idea how powerful Wyatt really is but since his parents count as one of the strongest magicians ever, he won't be too far away with his powers.

Tyler knocked softly on the door and a muffled 'come in' was heard. He opened the door and we stepped inside his territorial. It looked way more modern than I expected it to be. The room was huge, the walls are covered with bookshelves and of course, a lot of books. The only source of light were lit up torches between the shelves. What shocked me the most was the boiler in the middle of the room. I thought this was only used in movies?

"I assume you gained your powers?", Wyatt asked without even looking at us.

"You guessed correct. What are we going to do now?"

"Watch and see."
