Chereads / Zom Awaken / Chapter 5 - Settled

Chapter 5 - Settled

I head back to the cabin, four people standing outside. Angelica, Cody, Jax, and Daniel. I hop out of the car, looking at them baffled.

Cody touching his beak, and his face red like he's constipated. Daniel and Jax's hands on the ground with a dirt .

"You all look ridiculous. What are you trying to do?"

"I brought them out here to try their powers. I figured if they touch the thing their power relates to and they try to control it, it may work."

"And how has the worked so far?"

"Well, Daniel can make a dirt brick." She says, smiling as I look annoyed.

"Ok ok Jax your ability is wood creation. Why are you touching grass. Go touch a tree and then focus on creating the same texture in your hands when you take your hands off." I look over at Cody, which is about to pass out.

"Cody, stop straining yourself. You look like you're gonna break a blood vessel, or you're trying to take a shit. Imagine your favorite bird think of it in detail, it's wing size, feather shape, and so forth. I say before grabbing bags from the truck.

"Why don't you stay out here? Your ability may be like Dylons. Try making a brick. I'll take the groceries in." Angelica says, and I roll my eyes, walking to the ground and touching the dirt.

(Think what do I want, what do I want? A wizard anime figure would be neat.) I open my eyes, the dirt clumps together, and i hold a figure of an anime character made of dirt.

Not very detailed, a small figure she has a staff and short hair there's no color except brown for the character. Dylan looks over, amazed, his eyes shining in excitment.

"How'd you do it, How'd you do it? It took me thirty minutes to make a brick of dirt." He exclaims loudly.

"I just imagined what I wanted the dirt to look like." I explain

"Huh, so our poweres aren't the same. The ground feels like an extension of myself, and I have to morph it by how it feels to get the shape." He says, looking down disappointed.

Angelica comes out of the house looking amazed at the figure in my hand.

"Wow, you made this soo cooool. Has anyone else made progress?" She asks, looking around Cody now, having a few feathers on his forearm and Jax holding a stick.

"Congrats, Cody, you were able to make feathers that's one step forward."

Jax looks down upset. "But I made a stick." I pat his head as Carolyn stands at the door crossed arm and signals us to come in.

We walk in Ginger, cook placing chiecken, and fries down onto the table alongside some grape juice.

We gather around and start to eat and drink, eating the tender chicken, tearing apart in my mouth. The rectangular fries, while not very soft, were good with some salt on top.

I notice the grape juice having a small amount of acidity to it before chugging the rest of it after the meal.

We relax around talking about our progress. Ginger and Bubbles are amazed and don't question us about it.

However, Carolyn rolls her eyes and lays in her bunk bed.

"Oui you don't have to be such a cunt first you accuse me of lying and now that they can do it you refuse to belive it? What's wrong with you? Can you not admit you're wrong. Come outside and watch if you dont believe me." Angelica snaps at her.

Carolyn rolls out of bed and slips on crocks heading out the door.

"Can you come with me Daniel and Earlo your abilities are the easiest to show off." We head out with her Ginger and Bubbles come out curious.

Carolyn looks at us angrily as Dylan and I kneel down on the dirt Dylans hands touch the ground he slowly lifts them as another brick forms underneath.

I touch the ground alongside him imagining a knife and pulling out a clay molded knife that's surprisingly sharp.

Carolyn's eyes widen for a second. "I'm sorry okay. Now that that's over I won't question you anymore I'm going to sleep now." She scuffs back inside.

I stand up a little dizzy Bubbles and Gingers eyes lighten up with joy.

"Wow, can we use our abilities like that? Imagine how cool we could be!" They say as I grab my head.

"Ginger I think you already used your ability somewhat. I'm sensitive to wine and your ability ferments stuff. I've gotten dizzy after drinking your grape juice and it was quite acidic." I reply.

She smiles, looking giddy. We all head in and decide to lay down while Jax is making a small house made of sticks. The guys decide to take the two bunk beds on the left of the cabin.

As the women take the two bunkbeds on the left side. I sleep on the top, and Dylan sleeps below me.

For the following two days, we practice our abilities apart from Bubbles and Carolyn. As Carolyn didn't want anything to do with it and we didn't have time to search for a cow for Bubbles.

Waking up on the third day I make some coffee as our resources start to diminish significantly.

( I got all this stuff but I wasn't actually thinking of sharing of course it wouldn't be enough.)

The door starts to bang loudly. Bubbles, Ginger, and Dylan starts to get up. I head to the door as Caroyln and Cody are in the bathrooms.

Jax still messing with his pile of sticks and Angelica's cooking up some eggs.

I open the door and I'm greeted by the guard who brought us here with sunglasses.

"I hope you all know how to get back to Gideons place he wants you all to meet him in his yard in three hours, so be prepared." He says, closing the door and scurrying off.
