4 4. First Few Days (2/2)
”Where you doze off into space, kinda looks like you get swarmed in thoughts,” Izon explained.
”Yeah… It's my way of escape.” Ryela muttered taking a bite out of her chicken. No one talked for at least 10 minutes as they ate their dinner.
”I totally forgot to ask, but what type of ability do you have, Rye?” Izon asked curiously with a mouth full of Chinese food.
”My what?”
”You know your ability?”
”Ehem, she's trying to eat, so leave her alone,” Marly interrupted.
”It's fine…. I'm not that hungry anyway.” Ryela reasoned. Ryela took a deep breath and continued. ”I really don't know. I only remember little memories from WWIDI, maybe lifting an object with my mind or something; Not a lot.” She reflected, ”But I do remember this one day, it's still kind of foggy, but something crazy happened.”
”Wow, really? Like what?” Izon asked excitedly.
”You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.” Marly insisted.
”Its fine.”
She took a sip of her drink and started thinking. ”I remember loud sirens going off; guards everywhere. My heart beating crazy… I think I was running outside. Then the next minute I know I woke up in a bed and they told me I was cured of some disease.” she explained in a relaxed manner. ”I still don't know what happened before I woke up.”
”Thats, uh, interesting.” Izon murmured.
Ryela ate another bite of her noodles then flared her eyebrows. Something strong hit her on the inside.
”Are you okay, Ryela?” concerned Gabe.
”Yeah. Just saw a flash back, that's all.”
”Like what?” Marly asked.
”It was of a tube thing…” she stated as a scene played in her head. ”It was a big one too, and there were these pointy things at the top.” she shuddered as she explained her vision.
”Is she ok?” natalie whispered to Marly. ”She's blanking out.”
Ryela skin started turning pale, and her eyes glazed over. She completely zoned out and continued to tell what she saw. ”I was in the tube. Then it lit up, and I felt as if,” she paused and closed her eyes, ”I was drifting away. I felt so much hatred and revenge.” Ryela squeezed her eyes shut even more. Then she saw a blurry picture of a man walking up to her, but the name tag he was wearing was crystal clear:
Doctor Gabriel Collins
She popped open her eyes in fear, and all eyes were on here.
”What's wrong?” She asked confused.
”Y- your, um…” Natalie stuttered.
”Tell me.” Ryela pleaded.
”Look at your hands!” Marly shouted pointing at them. As Ryela looked down she saw herself gleaming red, and heat was radiating off her. The group had to back up from how much heat there was.
”I can't turn it off!”
”Just try and calmed down, and take a deep breath,” Marly yelled.
”Okay…. ok-”
WOOSH!
”Need a hand,” Gilly smirked. Just then Ryela was on the floor completely soaked in water with Gilly holding a power hose in her direction. Her friends ran to her to make sure she was ok.
”Gilly what was that for!” Gabe protested.
”If I would've not stepped in, all of you would be burnt to a crisp right now, so I think the words you're looking for is 'thank you'.”
”As if,” Ryela smirked trying to get up from the wet ground, but right as Gabe went to help her, he slipped and knocked her down with him. All their friends started laughing as they helped them up. ”Let's get you cleaned up, ok?” Marly laughed.
