Jared

I had been running for a while when a stalker found me. It took me a few minutes but I managed to kill it. I got to the base I told Rachel to head to after rescuing Kindra and I saw Kindra fighting on the battlefield against several stalkers but they couldn't touch her. I knew more would be coming so I went to make sure the others were alright.

"Rachel, Rain, Allison..." I looked down. "Where is Sterling? Where are the others?"

"They left us," Rachel answered. "We have to go help Kindra."

I nodded, "Let's go." The four of us ran out and I screamed inside when I saw Cali slice her fangs into Kindra's back. The stalkers looked at us and charged.

"Give me the Jewl," I demanded.

"Jared this isn't..." Rachel began to lecture.

"Give me the Jewl!" I shouted.

She handed it to me and I activated the power. I felt my powers grow like they had once before. The stalkers were charging and Cali was standing where she had been, waiting for something.

I could feel the DNA and other things they made the stalkers what they were and I screamed in rage. I raised a hand to show I was doing it and I killed each of them with a thought. I then appeared next to Cali, Rachel had teleported me.

"Cali," I growled. "How could you kill our daughter?"

She scoffed and yelled, "She barely acknowledged my existence. I went to her several times in prison but she told me to leave and that she never wanted to see me again. I'd say it was your fault but I know it's not! She's an ungrateful little brat that got exactly what she deserved!"

"And you will get what you deserve," I replied. "You see I have the power to make you anything I want, to change you anyway I want but the only thing I'm going to change, is your power. I'm going to give you the power of perfect memory, but of only one thing, you killing your daughter. I will burn that image into your mind until you are numb and then I will kill you."

Rachel bound Cali up in shadow shackles.

"Jared," Allison said. "She not gone yet. I don't know how but I can feel her still here, waiting."

My eyes lit up with hope, "Allison, I can't ask you to heal her, because it will probably kill you."

She looked at me oddly, "What do you mean?"

I smiled, "Because you don't heal people, not exactly, you heal yourself. You take other peoples wounds and make them your own, since you heal so quickly it looks like they are healed but if you absorb a wound this great I think it will kill you."

"That's okay," Allison smiled. "I think I should try."

Allison began to work and the wounds started to disappear. Cali scowled at the event but could do anything. After about an hour Allison fell over and stopped moving. Kindra was still on the ground, not moving.

After a few minutes we carried all those they had died inside and placed them in a room until we could find time to bury them.

I went outside and shook my head at the area, stray attacks had destroyed half the city. Police and military hadn't dared come try and stop the fighting or they were busy elsewhere. I tried to find some alone time but Rachel found me instead and comforted me.
