A Fatefilled Meeting

(I decided to add some coolness to Allison's power, you might figure it out.)

I must say I was scared for my life, not because I feared them killing me. I was more worried that they'd keep me like a pet to heal them whenever they got injured fighting my friends. I saw him lying there helplessly on the bed and I knew he would be difficult, even for me, to heal. There was no escape at this point, no way I could make it away. I hadn't told them where I was going and I didn't know, nor did I want them here. Alex had recruited far to many.

"Go on then," Cali urged me. "Hurry up and heal him."

She pushed me forward and I placed my hands on his arm, "There is nothing wrong with his body. I mean it's burned and scarred but he should be conscious. I don't know that I can fix this."

"Try it anyways," Cali demanded. "Or I'll go visit your parents and sharpen my claws on their flesh."

She was serious, I could see it in her eyes. I wanted to know what had happened to her but I dare not ask with my parents lives on the line. I placed my hands on his head and the unexpected happened. I felt his mind and his pain, his reason for being there. He was hiding, fear had gripped his mind. Something someone had done was totally incapacitated him with fear, so much his body wanted to die. I could feel my power expanding into a new realm, one it shouldn't be capable of and I was suddenly a light standing in a dark room.

I saw a boy curled up in the corner, trembling. I walked over and knelt beside him, "You'll be fine. No one can hurt you here. I can make it all better."

"Did she follow you?" His voice trembled as he spoke. "Please tell me she's not here with you."

"Who are you talking about?" I asked. "Why are you so afraid?"

He didn't tell me as I had expected but he showed me what she had looked like and the power she had wielded that night. Jessica had terrified him, he would have died from the fright alone if it had not been for the modern technology keeping his body alive. His mind was still hiding and perhaps I could heal it. Slowly, it would take a long time.

A few hours later I woke up on the floor. Alex was standing over me, "What happened? You were napping?"

"I was healing him. Just like you said," I retorted. "His body is the least of my concerns, I'll heal that after I heal his mind."

"What's wrong with him?" Alex scratched his head. "How long?"

"A few days, maybe less," I answered. "Maybe more, I don't really know. Oh and he's in a coma because Jessica's power frightened him into it."

He nodded, "You understand of course that I'm going to keep your parents until he's fully healed."

Just then Mathis spoke, "Alli... Allison. This pa.. pain."

I quickly started healing his physical injuries but I was too exhausted from the other to heal him completely.

"Can't you just trust me?" I shouted at him.

"If you swear to it," Alex grinned.

I spat in his face, "Never."

He looked displeased with my actions, "You will heal Mathis and anyone else who gets injured."

"And if I don't?" I instantly regretted saying it.

He had a grin from ear to ear, "You'll wish you didn't heal yourself unconsciously."

Mathis was conscious but weak and for some reason I felt sorry for him. Just what was Alex planning that he needed Mathis.

"Bring her parents to this location," Alex commanded one of them. "That way it'll be easier to motivate her in the future." He glanced back at me and snickered.
