Chapter 5
I wiped the tears from my eyes, I needed to
figure out how to work these “powers” Lesley was talking about. But how would I
do that? Nick just told me about the past he didn’t say that we had powers. I
closed my eyes and rested my head up against the cold cell wall as I tried to
think of any power I would have to use against Lesley. I kept my eyes closed
for a few seconds as I saw Nick and Kevin I think it was talking to each other.
Nick was telling Kevin to turn around but Kevin said it wouldn’t be know use
because Nick never showed Lesley love like I did. That was it; Love. That’s
what the power was. Maybe not to Lesley but I’m sure it would work if Kevin
knew about it. The cell door opened as two guards walked in and picked me up
from off the ground and pushed me down the hall. They pushed me into a room as
the door slammed. I looked around, the room was had little cravings on the wall
and were a white color with a little bit of brown blended in with red spots all
over the walls. Wait that wasn’t just red spot that was blood! I took a breath
as I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and saw Lesley; a lifesaver in
her hand. She swung her red glowing lifesaver at me as I ducked. This was it:
the battle had begun.
“Come on Kev go faster, there already in
battle”! I said my throat low trying to hid the pain that was developing more
harshly in my body. My stomach turned as I started to feel sick. The pain was
just too much to bare. I picked up my shirt just a little to see the wound
still bleeding, the blood dripping down the side of my stomach. I pulled down
my shirt as I felt a sharp pain go through my arm. This wasn’t a good sign; BJ
was in trouble. Then it came to me: BJ doesn’t know of the powers. I felt the
spacecraft swerve a little as I looked out of the windshield. Siren’s started to
go off as I looked around. What was happening?
“Nick get out of here
now!!” Kevin yelled as he pushed me out of the room and we ran towards the back
of the ship, Where I saw the others.
“What’s happening?” I
asked as we all walked into a little door and sat down in seats.
“A asteroid just hit
the spacecraft were going to have to take the extra one back to the palace”
Kevin told me as we blasted out of the spacecraft. I looked back through the
window to see the spacecraft blow up. I felt a pain go through my stomach as I
clutched onto the seat handles my knuckles turning white.
The lifesaver cut my
stomach as I fell down to the ground; tears threatening to come out from my
eyes. I held them back as I remembered what I had heard Kevin and Nick talking
about. Lesley placed the Lifesaver to my throat.
“Lesley remember when
Nick was on tour and you came to me because your boyfriend broke up with you”?
I asked hoping to stall her before it got any closer to my skin. She stopped
and looked into my eyes. Was she remembering something?
“Remember all the
times you thought Nick didn’t love you and you wanted to hate him so much but I
told you he really loved you even though he never showed it,” I said. I saw a
tear come to her eye as she wiped it away.
“I don’t remember any
of it!” She yelled as she picked up the lifesaver and I closed my eyes. This
was it I would be dead within a matter of seconds. I took a breath when nothing
happened a few seconds later. I opened my eyes and saw her sitting there crying
with her head in her hands. I scooted over to where she was and hugged her.
“It’s great to have
you back Les” I said .
“Thanks” She said as
the door opened and we both looked up. Nick and guys ran into the room. Nick ran
towards us and hugged us both. Howie looked at the weird cravings on the wall
as he looked back at us; fear in his eyes.
“What is it Howie?”
Brian asked.
“The carvings there
saying a new life form will start in the year 2150” Howie said as everyone
looked at him.
“What’s so bad about
that?” Nick asked.
“This is the year
2149 and within 10 minutes well be frozen in time if we don’t get out of here!”
Howie yelled as I gasped. We all got up and started to run toward the entrance
of the palace when Lesley stopped.
“Les what are you
doing?” I asked as she started to run the other way.
“Lesley!!” We all
yelled as we ran after her. We stopped as we saw her standing before a
spacecraft.
“We could take this;
it will get there faster then the spacecraft you have now. I know a place where
the frozen time wont get us but we have to move quick” She said. We all boarded
the spacecraft as I looked at my digital watch; which read 11:55 pm. Nick and
Kevin headed towards the cockpit as we all sat down in the seats and buckled
in. The spacecraft made a noise as it started to raise up into the air. I
looked at my watch it was 11:58 pm. We weren’t going to make it; I knew it. The
spacecraft started to shake making the pain from my wounds run through me more harshly
this time. I held onto the handles on the seat tightly as cold air started to
fill my body. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out; instead I felt
my lungs fill up with the cold air. I saw everything stop moving; we were
frozen in time.
