"What do you mean?! How can I be our only hope? ” Melissa asks
"It's a little hard to explain, but I'm
going to try my best." Mary says
First, she begins to ask me some
questions.
"Have you ever experienced something you can not explain?" she asks
I'm thinking about it carefully, but I can’t thi........ wait a minute. Once the power went out, I went out to fix it. I just touched the fuse box and then I felt electricity going through my whole body and into my fingers. Suddenly the power went on again and everything was as normal.
I tell this to the rest and Mary and
William nods to each other.
"This is what we've been waiting for" William says "That someone else is just like us, but much stronger"
"Wha-What are you talking about ?!" I’m asking
"What we mean is that you have powers like no other."
"Wait a minute .. POWERS!!" "I have no powers, I am a completely ordinary person!" I say
"How would you explain this?" Mary holds a light bulb and gives it to me. I take the it in my hands and I feel the same electricity trough my body, like I felt that day. The light bulb lights up.
"But how can this be possible ?!" I look over at my mother and my siblings, and they are as shocked as I am.
"This has to be a trick." I think to
myself. "Or?"
William continues to talk.
“You have powers that are
connected with electricity. The first thing we need to do is train you so that you can use these powers."
"Train?" I ask
“Yes, but first we have to leave. To a place where no one else will see you. Where you can train without thinking about hurting someone."
"Hurting someone?! Am I going to hurt someone if I do not manage to control these powers? ” I think to myself.
I look over at Mary and William.
"Where do we have to go?" I ask them.
“To a small place that close to Lania. Just some hours away from Lania there is a mountain and a large area with grass at the bottom. No one will come near this place, because the nearest town is 200 km away. "
We have to pack everything we need to take with us. We have to bring clothes, food, medicine and money. The problem is that we can not bring too many things. Then more people will start to become suspicious and they may end up calling for the guards. Then some of us could risk being killed and Markus could be sent into the military. We put on many layers of clothes and took with us three small backpacks that we put food, medicine and the rest of our clothes. We can not afford to take a boat or train so we have to walk. 30 silver, that's all we have. We may be able to ask someone if we can get a ride.
This was exactly what we did. We found a farmer who was on his way to Lania. We sat up in the cart. Much of the place was already taken by some stacks of hay. When everyone was on the cart, we took off. The journey to Lania has begun and there are many dangers lurking along the way.
