Part 21:
*Silas POV*
I could feel the fricken lump on my head. "Sorry.." Kenny said laughing still. "I bet you are.. Now let's get this show on the road!.." I yelled at him. We got to the place we knew about and that's when it all began. There was this huge boulder that was flat that I could stand on. Kenny stood before me on the ground. "Alright let's start by going through your abilities!" I thought about which one to do first. "I don't know what order to do it in?.." I said looking at him. "Well just say randomly the abilities that you have?" "Umm... I can sometimes read people's thoughts, uhh.. I can see a little bit farther, and I can heal and fly!" I said super excitedly. "Anything else?.." "Ummmm... That's pretty much it.." I said nervously. "You SURE there aren't any other abilities?" "Yes?.." "Let's start with the whole " hear thought" thing?" he said. "I'm gonna go some place you can't see and scream aloud what I think alright?" "Okay." He walked away and I waited till he was ready. I had closed my eyes so that I didn't know what direction he was in "READY!!" he screamed. I opened my eyes and looked around but all I saw was an open area where we were , and trees surrounding it. I looked around nervously trying to find him.. to see him.. But he was nowhere near me.
I closed my eyes and tried to shut out all of the sounds that stowed upon me. "Argh!!... Concentrate Silas!.." I yelled at myself. "Keel calm.. Breathe..." The noises became more organized and clean. Everything was at a legit calm. Then I could hear something.. A whisper.. A voice.. I couldn't tell what the words were yet. "Ehff ywhoo cahn heerh thes ywhoor ghey"... I heard the same thing come again, "ehff ywhoo cahn heerh thes ywhoor ghey.." I realize it was Kenny now and the message was clearer. "If you can hear this your gay." Really?.. Really?... "REALLY?!"".. "Haha you got it?" Kenny said walking out from the side of the tree. "I could have just guessed that, eff you dude." I said laughing realizing that it was actually pretty funny. "So remember all you need to do is concentrate and shut out some noises and your good!" "Dude I don't know if I should be using it that much though.." "Why not??.." he looked dumbfounded. "I feel like in invading people's privacy.." he thought about it some. "Hmmm.." I looked at him waiting for another answer. "Hmmmm..." I'm gonna stab him.. "Hmmmm!..." "OH MY GOSH, WILL YOU ANSWER ME?!..." I yelled. "Your right!" he patted me on the shoulder smiling.
"Okay for your next ability Silas, let's do... the, the uhh... What are your abilities again?.." "Thought crap, flying, I can see far kinda, and heal, I'm stronger?.." He looked at me with a serious look now.. "Let's do that "see" one. He walked to the other end of the open area we were in and yelled to me. We were about 50 ft from each other. "YOUR GONNA TELL ME HOW MANY FINGERS I AM HOLDING UP WITHOUT SQUINTING OR ANYTHING.. GOT IT?!.." He screamed. "YEAH!.." I grew nervous. "HOW MANY FINGERS DO I HAVE UP?!" I tried my best to see but I didn't know exactly what to do because it wasn't coming to me. "I DON'T KNOW DUDE?!..." I said hopelessly. "TRY FOCUSING YA NUT!!" he hollered back. "UGH!!.." I thought.. "FINE.. I didn't ask for any of this.. Never asked to be chosen??.. Why the Frick pick me?!.. Stupid rule.. I'm tired of dealing with this..." "Stop your complaining, you were chosen for a reason."
"I'LL SAY WHATEVER I WAN'T!" I yelled at him. "I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING?!.." he replied. "WHAT?.. I COULD HAVE SWORN YOU SAID SOMETHING?.." "NO?.." he said. I sat down confused for a sec. "Get up Silas.. You must work harder. Discipline yourself or he will kill you. If you wish to save everyone?.. You must keep trying." I heard this voice loud and clear this time.. "Who are you?" I thought. "I am the Archangel Michael, you may have heard of me before?" "Yes I have, I went to church all the time and learned a little bit about you and Gabriel." He laughed a little bit. "Ah Gabriel, he and a legion of angels are getting ready as we speak. Making this army bigger and bigger." "For what war?.." I asked him. "I.. I can't speak of it. But I came to give you encouragement. Silas please this world depends on you." "World?.. Well can you tell me this, is Gabriel leading this war?" "No.." "Are you?.." "No.." "Who is?.." He didn't say anything. "Michael.. Please tell me?.." "...You.."
I was baffled by what he had said, more or less shocked. "What do you mean "Me" huh?.. I'm can't comprehend that!" I said angrily. I'm just a regular teenage boy with his own problems. I don't need to worry about being some kind of war that shouldn't even exist. I mean I haven't gone to church in a long time but I was just there because my mother made me. Never was it my choice. The only time I really liked going to church was when the pastor would talk about angels. I loved that stuff! "Why do you think you liked it so much?" Michael asked. "How can you he-" "I'm an angel like you Silas. I have the same abilities but I know and worked harder at training. I must go but hurry.. Go.. NOW!.." "Alright.. alright alright.. Jeez no need to scream.. Where you going?.." No one replied.. "Michael?.." Hmmm.. "Nothing" I thought. "DUDE?.. QUIT ZONIN?.." said Kenny snapping me back to reality. "Sorry.. I has something on my mind.." I whispered. "READY?!.." he yelled. I nodded at him. I focus on his right hand waiting to see movement in his fingers. "Please give me the ability to see.." I prayed for a sec. I never prayed but maybe it would pay off, who knows, it might pay off this time around. Everything zoomed in all of the sudden. My eyes zoomed in and out like a sniper scope and I could switch the distance just by thinking about it and it would switch.. There was just so much to focus on and if I didn't do it right, my eyes would snap back to the normal state it was in.
"HOW MANY FINGERS DUDE?!.." he yelled now. Sounded almost annoyed.. I giggled to myself. Hmmm... "Let's get down to business I thought to myself." His fingers fiddling around. Finally he chooses one. "MIDDLE!!.." "YEAH, LUCKY GUESS.. HOW ABOUT NOW?" I thought for a second and my eyes zoomed in even closer. "PINKY!!" He then went real fast. "INDEX FINGER.. RING FINGER.. PINKY FINGER.. THUMB.. NONE.. MIDDLE FINGER.. MIDDLE FINGER... MIDDLE FINGER...." I was gonna throw something at him... "Screw you!.." I said loud enough so that he could hear me. He just laughed and walked towards me. "Power.. Let's do this next" he said seemingly tired. "Dude if your exhausted no worries?.. Go home and rest I'll practice on my own for a bit not only that but I got tomorrow's game I need to be syked for." He thought about it for a bit. "Fine dude I'm gonna go but you better tell me about it tomorrow alright?!.." "Will do" I said nodding to him. "Make sure you work on your flying man.. You got the sight thing.. You got the whole thinking/listening thing.. Now work on your flying and your strength alright?.. You really can't work on your healing but just do those two for now. He then walked away not knowing for sure the way back but I know he will sooner or later. I laughed to myself as I found myself wishing the worse for him.
I walked to the center of this little "hideout" I was in. I could be like... A superhero.. You know how they always had those secret lairs?.. Tony Stark had his tower, Bruce Wayne had his cave, the whole dang X-Men had the mansion and Superman had his "Fortress of Solitude.." This could be something like that.. Man that would be cool. I thought about how I could hide this place better. It had a hugs radius as it is. All around it would be about the size of a school gym. I know exactly how to hide this place and lactic on my strength. For the next hour I went and ripped shrubs out of certain spots of the forest let a lone some on the inside of this place and put it around it. I even tried to test my strength and tried to lift a tree.. I had no idea how heavy a tree really was. It almost killed me.. This tree was enormous this so technically it was my fault. I was able to find smaller ones. This place was really hidden, out of the way and really quiet to be able to be spotted. Not only that but there are other trees around this place and it hides it well so were good. It's going to be hard for people to get in. I finished putting one last shrub in when I heard a crack. I looked around real fast. It was a lost dog whimpering.. It was hurt.. It was a golden retriever but there was something else it mixed with. "Hey!... Come here girl.. There there.." I got on my knee's and tried to figure out what was wrong with her. She must have landed wrong on her leg and hurt it. I raised up to find blood on her paw. That scared me but it also alerted me. I had her lay down in front me and watched her gracious body.. I ran my fingers through her fur and felt her golden curls. I ran it down to her paw and arm. My body grew nervous as I was able to feel hers now.. I could feel her wound as if it were my own. Her eyes focus in front of her. I closes my eyes and I could feel my heart pump faster.. It was her heartbeat.. Not mine.. My hands slowly went to her arm and at an instant, a zap cams between my hand and her wound. I opened my eyes to see some blood on my hand. I removed it off her wound and saw that it was gone. She got up and walked around for a second and then looked at me. She tilted her head a bit like she wanted to play. She walked over towards me and rubbed her head against my hand so I scratched her head and ears for a bit. Then I tickled her side and she fell to the ground and lifted her legs up so I could do it better. Then she stopped.. So did I.. She got up and looked around, and I watched her look into one direction. It scared me.. She walked toward it and I whispered for her to come back. I heard a tree branch snap and I knew something was about to show up but I had no idea what.
