This is the next part of the story 'They Came':
Between the ringing in my head and the small crowd that collected, I contemplated what I had just done. Psychokinesis, a voice in my head said, which was followed by a pain; like sharp stones and my brain in a tumble drier. I cried out clawing at my mask, which had now fused itself to my face. I began to hear the distant sounds of sirens but I couldn't get up, I felt as though there was a heavy weight on me.
"Mine." The same voice in my head said. "Who are you?" I asked not really expecting an answer. "I am the power you longed for so greatly." It replied. What the hell is happening to me?! I'm losing my mind... I thought. I had to get home and so I struggled against the weight and the pain to stand up. I hadn't noticed the squad cars on both ends of the road neither had I noticed the guns pointed at me and I certainly didn't hear any warnings before they opened fire. I felt a fury, a rage in me that wasn't mine, which died down as quickly as it emerged but my arm moved of its own will and their bullets remained suspended in the air. I watched my arm fall and the bullets fell to the ground.
If I wasn't in the front seat maybe I would have thought this was cool but right now I just wanted it to end. A helicopter and more cars came, carrying men with bigger guns. By now my headache had begun to quieten and I was able to stand but after all that had already happened, I didn't know what to do. So I raised my arms and started to drop to my knees but then I felt something cutting the air towards me. The bad taste of an alien rage rose in my mouth, as I felt myself loose control of my body and I heard from my mouth an unearthly scream as the dart exploded in the air. My eyes felt like they were on fire and my insides had never felt so energetic but I was no longer in control. What happened to me last night..? (tbc...)
