go now.”
    I grab my last water and start for the door. Zack turns off the generator and follows me out.
    “That’s very brave of you, but as long as I’m alive you will not die because I would rather die than watch you die,” he said coming up beside me.
    I was stunned by the bluntness he used with me about saving my life over his. I won’t let that happen, but I don’t tell him that. I would never tell him, because that means he would just keep me locked up and never let me out.

Unexpected Abilities
    Our walk home was quicker than I thought it would have been and I was a little upset about that. I wanted to stay away from my mother and not explain that I have a power already, but Zack was determined to figure out why and what we were working with.
    So here we are sitting at the table surrounded by his parents and my mother explaining what had happened and how I wasn’t even trying to do anything and the metal stayed suspended in the air on its own.
    My mother had a knowing look on her face briefly before she masked it with her unreadable expressions. That always drove me crazy because I could never tell what she was feeling by looking at her. When we were done she spoke and I wished I hadn’t heard her say this because now I knew I was the only hope for our people and their survival.
    “My mother was able to move things with her mind, not having to look at the object she was able to move it any were and didn’t need her hands to guide them either. It made her stronger and she thought that the ability would go to me and when it didn’t she thought it would leave our family line permanently. But I guess she was wrong,” she finished with a warm smile on her face.
    The look of the others confirmed that they remembered her mother having that power and it made sense that someone in our blood line would receive it again. But I hated that it was me, now they were going to rely on me even more to defeat the Queen. If I don’t then it will be my fault that we all die.
    “I had a feeling you would be next in line to get those powers, so I informed John and Isabel about it. But no one else knows about them, just the people in this room,” my mother said looking around the room at everyone.
    “Is there anything else that we need to know that could possibly come up in my training sessions that you have neglected to inform me about?” I asked, a little more vicious[y than I intended.
    She looked like a mouse cornered by a cat, scared that there was no way out and she was about to die. Which confirmed the truth, she knew more that was vital to us. She cleared her throat and began to speak. I almost passed out from what I heard come out of her mouth.
    “Your father, although he was a solider, had a very unique gift that not many people knew about. One that I am sure Christina didn’t even know about. He was able to control the elements, such as Water, Fire, Air and Earth. I’m not positive you will get that ability, but there is a chance you could and if you do, then I have a list of instructions on how to train you to master the use of the elements around you. You will be able to use the water that is inside the pipes in the walls and in the ground even if it hasn’t rained yet. You could control the wind and create a fire. You will be a force to be reckoned with if you get that ability. Even if you don’t, the gift you have from my mother is more powerful than what everyone else has.” She finished looking pleased, which is probably because we were all speechless.
    What the heck did you say to that? Ok thanks mom for making me a freak of nature and then telling me that I might be an even bigger freak if I get the powers that my father had? Yeah not exactly the best thing to tell her especially since she looks so excited that I received her mother’s ability to move things with my mind. I just nodded my head and asked to be excused because I was tired and said good night to everyone.
    Zack looked a bit startled
