"Ma'am we would like to know exactly what happened" the cop said as he scribbled the date on the little jotter he was holding
"Uhm" Marie said. She didn't know how to tell them. Even if she did, she knew she couldn't possibly tell them what happened. None of it still made sense to her who had experienced it so how could they possibly understand.
"I was attacked" she added
"By what exactly?" the cop asked, he didn't ask 'who' because from what he and two other cops had seen it didn't look like something a human could pull off. The ceiling was broken and things were scattered all over the floor.
"A…a man" Marie paused, "An old man" she added
The cop who was asking squinted. If she had said a young man he wouldn't have believed, now she said an old man, how exactly did it happen then.
Marie noticed the look on the cops face and quickly added more details "I accompanied my Grandma to the train station on getting back I heard sounds so I tried peeping through the window and instead I saw that it had been opened already, so I went in and I found the whole house scattered with an old man who seemed crazy eating things from the fridge, he even packed some in his bag, when I tried confronting him he threw things at me and smashed my phone when I called the cops, he broke my ceiling and ran off" Marie noticed the look on the cops face had changed but still wasn't convinced enough so she started crying.
"That's enough Mark, she must be startled from the event" one of the other cops who was taking note of all the places the alleged thief had destroyed said to Cop Mark
"Bre, we have to know what really happened so we can prevent others from experiencing it" the cop replied
"It is enough, what else could have possibly happened, she's startled, we just have to find the thief now"
Marie snuffled as she watched them talk. She was thankful for the female cop who was easily convinced by her tears.
"Do you have insurance for burglary?" Bre asked
"Yeah I do" Marie replied as she snuffled
"Okay, I hope you stay safe and make sure you lock your doors and windows. Good Evening" Bre said.
Marie watched as the cops entered their cars and drove off. She noticed how cop Mark kept staring at her strangely, as If he knew something else had happened and she was lying. She decided not to over think it and went back inside to clean up the mess.
"Come on and work" Marie flipped her hands over. After the cops left she wanted to clean and thought she could use her new found powers to clean but she has spent hours trying and none of the objects moved.
After several attempts Marie stopped trying and sat on the floor "who are you" she muttered wondering who Gabe was and if all that happened was a hoax. She felt exhausted from all that happened and after few minutes she slept off.
------------------------------------
Gabe stared at his phone as it rang and contemplated about picking it. He had a lot going through his mind. His boss was after the woman and her baby because he thought they had powers what would he do when he finds out it was Him or the girl he was yet to figure out. He decided to answer the call so it doesn't seem strange.
"What happened" A thick voice sounded from the phone
"I couldn't find the woman and her baby" Gabe replied
"Who was the girl?"
"I thought she had an information about the woman and her baby but it turned out she didn't" Gabe replied
"You have failed this task, somebody else will be assigned to get the necessary information from the girl. Wait for my call before you make any move"
Gabe was worried about Marie, if his boss was going to send someone over to question her, they could both get exposed. He thought about going to meet Marie and running away with her to somewhere safe. Then he figured he was only overreacting, Marie would think he is crazy, if he was to go over to her place and ask her to run away with him and he was certain there's no way his boss would kill her, because he didn't want to get his company exposed.
_______________________
Marie was having a dream about her and Gabe running, she didn't know what exactly was happening but it seemed like they were being chased by something or someone dangerous, she was still having the dream when a weird noise woke her up.
She had slept off in the living room while she was tiding up the mess they made earlier. She yawned, still trying to gain full consciousness of her surroundings. She heard the strange sound again, like someone was breaking in through the window. She assumed it was Gabe who had come back for the same reason he was at her place earlier.
"Seems like you haven't learned your lesson, you freak" she said calmly as she remained in the position where she was seated on the floor. She expected a reply but didn't get any.
"Do you really want me to test my powers on you again?" she added. Just as she completed the sentence a figure showed up. She couldn't see the person's face clearly because it was dark and the light bulb wasn't on, but he had such a small stature that she knew it wasn't Gabe immediately.
"Who are you and what do you want. Did Gabe send you?" she asked
"What powers are you talking about? Are you the woman with the baby?" the person asked
"Oh, you're also here for the woman and the baby? What exactly do you guys want from them?"Marie replied
"I guess you're not. Where are they? And what powers are you talking about?" the person asked
"I don't know you and can't answer any of the questions you ask me" Marie replied confidently. A part of her was scared but another part thought she could handle him and maybe her powers only showed up when she was in danger
"I guess, you would have to come with me then" the person said, angrily.
Marie scoffed "I would love to see you try". She stayed still and watched the figure walk towards her. When he was few feet apart Marie furrowed her brows and stared at him angrily hoping he would float in the air like Gabe did but nothing happened. She tried using her hands but nothing happened still.
"Shit" she muttered as she saw he was close enough. She tried standing up and running but before she could take a step she felt his arms around her waist.
"Let go of me you jerk, let go, I'll scream" she shouted, as she struggled using her legs to hit him.
"Help….. Somebody Help me" she screamed "Hel…." Before she could complete the word she felt a strong force at the back of her neck and everything went blank.
------------------------------------------------------
Gabe stood silently under a tree opposite the car where Marie was. He watched as the man stood beside the car and made a phone call, he already knew he was on the phone with his boss. Gabe was so mad at himself for thinking his boss wouldn't want to hurt anyone. He was thankful for the vision he saw about Marie being tortured which prompted him to act fast and come to her place. If he hadn't come on time he would have missed them. Now all he had to do was come up with a good plan, he had tried using his powers before coming to rescue Marie but nothing happened so he felt he had exhausted the limit and decided not to try anymore.
He waited till the man was off the phone with his boss before he attacked. He moved silently till he was at the other side of the car, before the man could look over at him he hit him on his head with a metal he found on the ground. Once he saw the man was unconscious he made his way to the passenger seat where Marie was. Her hands and legs were tied and her mouth sealed with a tape.
"Hey, wake up!" He tilted Marie's head from side to side and when he saw she was regaining consciousness he started to lose the rope that was tied on her hands and legs. He removed the tape from her mouth gently as he stared at her lips.
"What are you doing? Where am i?" Marie muttered, snapping Gabe out of his lust.
"Uhm…..uhm" he removed his hands from her mouth quickly.
"We have to leave here now, they will be here soon" he replied
"Who are you talking about"
"The bad guys" he said as he stepped out of the car and held out his hands for Marie to lean on to
"Can you run?" he asked, as he noticed a car approaching them.
"I should be able to" she replied.
"Let's go" he held onto Marie's hand and helped her out of the car. Now the car was only few meters away from them and was already parking.
"Run fast" Gabe shouted as they both started to run
Some hefty men stepped out of the car and started chasing after them. The men were almost catching up with Marie because she was weak and hadn't fully regained consciousness.
"Come on, Grab my hand" Gabe said as he slowed down so Marie could catch up with him.
Immediately they held hands and took a step forward, the atmosphere changed and the next step they took landed in an entirely different place.
"Oh, shit" Gabe exclaimed
"Where the hell are we?" Marie asked
"I have no idea" Gabe replied.
