heard moments before on my beach filled my ears; painful, desperate sobs, cries and pleas.
Without thinking I filled myself with as much power as I could and took hold of the plane with telekinesis. It was hard; I had not tried to control something so big and with its own source of power before, something with an engine that was trying to fly one way, something that was rapidly losing its fight against gravity.
My power pumped through my veins and I pulled more, using everything I had to take control of the plane and suddenly I had it. It buffeted in the sky and then was still.
I quickly created a ball of water and doused the flames on the engine. Then gently, so softly, like I was carrying a new born baby, I brought the plane down onto the ground. I straightened up the plane and touched it down with the tiniest of bumps with the nose of the plane just a few metres away from where we stood.
The screaming slowly died out and then slowly cheering started. The pilot lifted his head from his hands and stared in disbelief at being on the ground, at being alive, and then at me, his eyes wide and staring.
I ran forward to the door, if anyone was hurt, I could heal them but Lucas caught my arm and held me back.
‘Eve we need to get out of here now, they’ll be so many questions about this, so much that can’t be explained. You cannot be here if the pilot starts pointing at you.’
‘What if people are hurt?’
‘At least they’re not dead, you’ve seen to that.’
‘Lucas….’
‘Eve, please,’ said Seth. ‘Lucas is right, you’ve saved hundreds of lives today. We cannot be here when they start to figure out what happened. How is it going to look when a young woman gets on the plane in the middle of nowhere, a plane that should be in pieces and starts magically healing people? Your face is already known by half the world that wants you dead, it does not need to be known by those that don’t.’
I turned back towards the plane and then back towards Seth and Lucas. I nodded reluctantly and stepped back between them. I took hold of both of their hands and slid back to my bedroom.
There was a man waiting for me.
Immediately Seth and Lucas stepped between me and him. How had a man managed to get unseen into my room? I had Guardians outside my room for this exact reason. He was huge, with short red hair and a furious expression on his face.
‘What did you do?’ he hissed, angrily.
Chapter 4
Eli, Caleb, Mason and Alexandria appeared in the room between me and the man. I could barely see the man now.
‘I hardly think she needs protection from me,’ the man said. ‘It’s the others she’ll need protection from if they find out about this.’
‘Matthias, say what you’ve come to say, then leave,’ Eli said. They knew him? Yet my protection detail was still in a tight formation around me.
‘What she has done is the most stupid thing she could possibly do. If they find out about this…’ He trailed off, clearly worried.
A sense of euphoria filled me. What had I done? I had just saved the lives of hundreds of people. I had finally done something good with my powers, instead of just party tricks. I felt the smile spread across my face. But judging by Matthias’s reaction, I realised that for some reason, this was a bad thing.
I stepped forward, angry, but Seth refused to let me through. ‘Matthias, what have I done that was so wrong? I’ve done something good, I’ve saved lives.’
‘Lives that were not meant to be saved, they were all fated to die today.’
I clenched my jaw, angrily. ‘You’re angry at me for not letting hundreds of people die, I had a prophecy, I heard them screaming. I was given the prophecy for a reason, not so I could do nothing.’
This threw Matthias. ‘You had a prophecy?’
I nodded. It must have been that, how else could I have heard their screams?
Matthias started pacing nervously. ‘It doesn’t change anything, if they find out, this could be very bad for
