TWENTY-SEVEN

"I wonder how a bolt of lightning straight through the chest feels.”

“I’m sure it’s quite painful.”

“Probably is,” Winona said with a smirk. A scream pierced the air. ‘“What is this?” she shouted. Alex felt the grip around his neck loosen until Jaheim’s arm fully released Alex’s neck. Alex doubled over coughing and looked up to see what had caused them to stop.

Jaheim and Winona were covered in rose vines sprouting up from the earth. There was a strange green glow outlining the vines. The thorns scraped against their skin, revealing bright red blood pouring out of fresh cuts. Alex looked back at his friends to see David’s hand outstretched toward the vines. The same green light on the vines emanated from the palm of his hand.

When Alex looked back, Winona and Jaheim were gone. The rain stopped, and thunder and lightning no longer filled the air. The clouds that covered the moon retreated and the light of the purple moon shone once again. The vines slithered back into the ground like snakes and the ground closed up where the vines had previously emerged. Alex stood up and walked back to his friends where they were standing in a scorched square in the grass where the cage had been.

“Are you okay?” Alex choked. A red mark had formed on his neck on the spot he was strangled. Mark was cradling his left arm while Nicole was limping. “What happened?”

“We got burned,” replied Mark.

“I should have stuff for that in my bag,” said Alex as he turned his attention to Jack, who was drifting to the ground. “Why didn’t you come back down and help us? The monster dissipated long before they left.”

“I apologize. I don’t know what happened. I believe Jaheim placed a barrier around you to prevent me from coming to your aid. I was unable to reach the ground,” said Jack as he took off his hat and twirled it. As it spun, it slowly began to shrink. In an instant it was gone.

“How’d you know his name? He never told you what his name was,” said Alex skeptically. “Or at least, you weren’t here for him to reveal it.”

“I know him from previous encounters. But I was wrong. Apparently Brooke wasn’t the only one who has an ‘ability’. David has one as well.” Jack placed a hand on Alex’s shoulder and scanned the teens surrounding him. “And he might not be the only one.”

“What do you mean he might not be the only one? What are you talking about?” Alex asked, shrugging his hand off and turning to face him.

“I need to run a few experiments, don’t worry they are harmless. It may be some well needed exercise.” Jack smiled.

“Whoa whoa whoa. I’m not going to be someone’s lab rat,” David said hurriedly.

“It’s nothing too extravagant. I merely wish to find out if any of you have powers of your own. If so, how powerful and to what extent? What type of powers do you have? Why do you have them? Sadly, I most likely will not discover all of this information all at once.
