Chapter 7

I run. I couldn't explain what happend, it was impossible. When I blacked out with that last scream... It somehow killed James. I woke up 5 minutes later with him dead on the ground next to me, his skin was smoking and his eyes had melted. The scariest thing yet, the doctor wasn't lying. My shoulder was healed, completely.

I smash the window with my shoulder shattering the glass. I hear the pounding still going on, and the rattling of keys. I was on the second floor of the building. I jump. I brace for impact as I fall down through the air, my stomach gets that feeling when you suddenly drop. I crash to the ground.

I get up wearily, I have to keep going. There was no way to explain what happend. James nuclear bombed himself in my room without killing me? Not a chance. One thing I was sure of, was that something was wrong with me. 

I run deep into town and keep to the alley ways. I lived in this town, not only that but I spent every free moment out here, away from my dead step-parents. Part of me was relieved actually, I felt more free, no restrictions to hold me back. The last thing I needed at the moment was to be held back, this was a race against time. No doubt when they find his body they'll call the cops. 

I find an abandoned orphanage, one that I once hid in from Gabriella. I jump in a broken window and climb in the lobby. The place was a wreck. Broken chairs and old sofas where stashed in the corner, while the ground was covered with broken glass and little objects that looked suspiciously like weed. I  get to the stairs and start my climb. Stairs nothing can go wrong, right? Apparently I was wrong. On the third my foot went right through the old rotten wood. Nails threatened to pierce my leg that was dangling dangerously close to some nasty looking nails.

I haul myself up and continue up, my goal was to get to the top floor, there I could see what was happening.Being much more cautious, I make my way up to the next floor; Three more to go! I continue my way up, but my progress had slowed down incredibly. Screw this...

I back up for a running start- and fall through the floor. I look up at the hole in the second floor. I sigh and make my way up to the second once more. I back up again, avoiding the hole in the floor. I take a running start and run up the stairs as fast as I could. I quickly reach the third floor, I turn and continue up to the fourth. I'm about to mount to the fifth when I stop. The whole stair way up is gone, just... gone!

I turn to see the stair way behind me crumbling apart, probably just like what happened to the fifth stair case. I'm stranded. I go to the window, the fourth floor would have to do. I look out and it looks like a full scale search of the town. Police are entering buildings and talking to residents. I see a helicopter flying around. I watch as if in a trance, then I snap out of it when the sun catches of the broken glass on the floor. It turns, I jump behind a wall just as a search light lights up the room, giving an eerie glow.

The light passes and the helicopter continues on its way. I'm about to give a sigh of relief when I hear footsteps. I been out the broken window too see a man with a trench coat enter the building. He wasn't a police for sure. I had a strange feeling though that he was even more dangerous then fifty cops together guns raised. I'm trapped though. The only way down: Out the window. I carefully climb over the window and stand on a tiny ledge. I hear the man make it up to the second floor.

I see another ledge, I carefully sit down. I place my feet on the next one and lower my self to the next one. Then the next, and the next. I hear the man make it to the third floor, and his grunt of surprise to find it all caved in. I hear nothing for a second. Then I hear is footsteps on the fourth floor. How? 

It doesn't matter, he'll be coming down soon. I need to be long gone when he does. Im about two stories high when I slip. I fall through the air arms flailing. I hit the ground with an ugly thud. I need to leave town. Now!

I see the edge of town and Sprint to it, I would have to start out new. I couldn't let anyone know where I was going. They would be like-

"Hey look! That's the guy who killed James and ran a way! Did I mention he killed James without touching him?"

I shudder at the thought. Another thing. No government would pass the opportunity to try and study me. I reach the edge of town and plummet into the forest that surrounds it. I don't stop running, hours pass. Finally I stop from exhaustion. How in the world did I run that far? I was running for hours!

Another weird thing about me I guess.  I verify my surroundings. The forest had cleared away hear and there was a lake with freshwater. Good. I pick up some sticks and stones and went to make camp.

"You can't hide from me forever."

A voice. Just like in my dream! But it seemed to echo from all directions. Blue Aura, I remember him saying. Where the heck was that? I decide to find something sharp just in case.

"Foolish child. You shall die tonight." He says.

I turn and face the forest where Im sure the voice came from. I didn't really care to die. I was a weird freak that could do impossible things. The police were chasing me so I couldn't go back to live at home. My parents were dead. I had no friends and I would be arrested for killing James. Ya I didn't care much right now.

"Then so be it." I growl at the man hidden in the trees. I enter the forest towards the voice. Towards death.
