Cursed

Chapter twenty-two: Jane's power

Jane's P.O.V

        I open my eyes and I'm laying on the floor. I sit up, where did the others go? I look behind me, I scream and get to my feet quickly. My eyes widen at what lays at my feet. I'm looking at myself, and I'm covered in blood, my blood. I'm pale white, and my eyes are closed, I could be sleeping, I kneel down and touch my shoulder, but my hand goes right through my body. I sit on the floor on the other side of the room and that's when I remember how I got here, my wrists were cut,  I watched Henry be beaten right in front of me, and then Eddy stabbed my side. And then they untied me and I died right in front of Henry and my family. 

        Mom and Simon. I remember them now. I rememeber everything, I remember being brought here when I was younger, I remember meeting Henry, I remember everything my mother hid from me. What's the point of remembering though? I'm here. I'm dead. Again.  The real question I want an answer to is for how long? How long will I be dead this time? A month? A year? Forever? 

        Is my family okay? Where are they now? Did Eddy let them go? Or did he kill them too? God I hope not. They don't deserve to die because of me, I shouldn't even be here. I should still be dead, I died a year ago and now this is the price I have to pay for coming back from the dead. 

        "You just stop feeling bad about everything," someone says. 

        I lift my head and see two twin girls standing on either side of a boy. The girl on the left has jet black hair and dark blue eyes, the girl on the right has platinum blond hair and emerald green eyes, they both look ten years old. The boy looks about fourteen, he has jet black hair and emerald green eyes. 

        "You need to stop feeling bad for yourself before you're stuck here forever," the boy says. 

        "Nothing is over," the girl with blond hair says. "It's long from over."

        "How do you know that?" I ask the three of them. "How can you possibly know?"

        The boy grins, a grin that looks all too familiar, "Trust me we know." 

        Both of the girls come to my side and them help me to my feet. They hold both my hands and they walk me to my body, when we're two feet away from my body they stop and walk back to the boy. I turn around and look at the three of them. "Who are you guys?" 

        The boy grins that grin again, "You'll find out soon enough."

        "But-"

        Before I can finish the boy pushes me and I fall over, I brace myself to hit the floor when...

        My eyes open wide and I gasp for air, I look around, I'm still in the same room. I look around me all the blood is gone. I look to my left side, the stab wound is gone, I look at my wrists, good as new. I'm alive. I'm really alive.

        My family. I get up quickly and open the door, I leave the room and run down the hall pass the labs with unconscious scientists. I make it to the elevator and when I get inside I look at the buttons, my gut tells me to press the first button. The elevator moves and I try to keep calm, please let everything be alright. The doors open and I step out the elevator, the room looked like it was cooked, and there are at least two dozen or more bodies on the ground, they're all dead. I look ahead and see a woman with jet black hair, her back to me.

        "Mom?!" I say. When she turns around her eyes widen and I run to her, she hugs me tightly and when the others see they join in. 

        "Jane?" I look over Mom's shoulder and see Austin standing behind her. 

        "Austin," I say. the others let go and I go into his arms, he hugs me and I hug him back. 

        When he lets me go I look at everyone and notice something, "Where's Will and Henry?"

        "Henry!" I hear Will say. I run in the direction of his voice and find him standing in front of an office, he's looking down the hall. 

        "Will what's goign on?" I ask. When he sees me his eyes widen and then he hugs me too, longer than anyone. "Will where's Henry at?" I ask him.        

        "He went with Eddy behind that door," he points down the hall to a metal door. We all run to it and try to open it, it's locked. I try to think of how to get inside and an idea comes to mind. 

        "Get back you guys," I say. They take several steps back and I close my eyes I feel the power surge inside me and I open my eyes, I look at my body, a golden light surrounds me. I put my hands on the door and with one push the door bursts open. 

        I see Henry on his knees, the knife used to kill me next to him. Eddy stands in front of him, gun in hand. I lift up my hand and am about to send Eddy against the wall, but not before he could pull the trigger.

        The bullet enters Henry's chest dead center and he falls onto his back. I send all of my energy towards Eddy and he goes flying through the wall, I run to Henry's side and see the blood coming out out his wound. 

        "Jane?" Henry whispers, his voice weak. 

        "Shh," I say. "Don't talk your going to be okay. I'm going to help you."

        "Jane," he says again.         

        "Oh god," I hear Will say behind me. I don't turn around I keep my eyes on Henry. 

        When I see his eyes start to close I say, "Keep your eyes on me."

        He does. And his breathing starts to slow. When I see the look in his eyes I can't hear or see anything. I only see Henry, and right now I see him slipping away, then his breathing stops and his eyes close. 

        "No!" I say. I try to think and think, I need to do something. Then the most impossible thing comes to mind. I concentrate all of my energy into my hands I can see the golden light begin to form around me. When I know all of my energy is in my hands I put them over his heart and I push down. When I do I see a small gold light go into his body and goes away. At first I thought it didn't work and then it happened. The light came back and spread across his body, in a blink of an eye his body was surrounded by gold light. The light goes away again and my heart stops.

        Henry's eyes open and he gasps for air, I smile and I wrap my arms around his neck. 

        "Jane," he says. "I thought I lost you."

        I shake m head, "I'm not going anywhere." 

        "What did you do to me?" He asks.

        "I gave you half of my power," I tell him. 

        "Does that mean-?"

        "Yes," I say. "You're like  me now."

        "Henry," A woman behind us says. 

        "Mom." Henry says. 

        They both hug and the woman says. "You called me mom."

        He grins, "Because you are."

        "Eddy's gone." Will says. 

        I look at the wall he went through and Will's right. Eddy is gone. 

        "If he's gone he's gone." Henry says. "Can we just go home?"

        "Yes," Mom says behind me. "We can all go home."
