The Disastrous (Revised)| ✔️

Chapter 19

Ashley

     I don't know how long I was in the bathroom for but I ended up on the floor puking my guts out. Flushing the toilet I washed out my mouth and hands right when someone knocked on the door. Drying my hands I opened it.

     Jacob stood staring at me concerned, "Everything okay? Everyone mostly asleep now. I thought you died in there."

     I nodded, "Other then I think I saw my guts swirling down the toilet."

     "Eve said the drink would cause you to vomit and the 'Virus', which is your little guest in your head, would come out. Your 'Virus' free now!"

     I snapped my fingers and a tiny flame floated in the air and I smiled. "Guess I still have these though."

     Jacob stared longing at the flame and I knew instantly something was bothering him. Placing a hand on his shoulder I asked, "What's wrong?"

     "After I left you three.. I come back only to find you. What happened to father and Lily?"

     I let out a sigh, knowing this question was bound to come. "They-"

     "Guys!" Eve called out. "There's a baby out here!" Me and Jacob looked at each other confused before rushing to the living room. Sure enough a baby could be heard crying on the other side of the door.

     "You got to open the door!" Courtney said sleepily.

     Eve was getting ready to open the door but I stopped her. "What if it's a trap? Chris could be on the other side of the door."

     "It's not a trap, Ash. Open it, Eve," Jacob said. Eve slowly opened the door and there stood the baby. The baby stopped crying and reached it's arms out to me and Jacob.

     "Lily? That's impossible, I watched you die and how..." I placed my hands on my head staring at Lily.

     "Just get her in here before Drake or Chris comes in," Eve demanded. 

     I went out and picked up Lily. She touched my face with her small hands before playing with my black hair. I walked into the living room and sat down. Noah, Eve and Courtney went back to bed while Ethan and Jacob stayed with me.

     Jacob sat down next to me and stroked Lily's hand. "So your telling me that Lily is dead, yet here she is."

     I turned to him, "Do you really think I would have just left Lily if she was still alive?"

     "Well no... but-"

     Ethan wiggled his finger in front of Lily's face and she giggled. She started to grow bigger and Ethan pulled back shrieking.

     "Dude what the heck?"

     "Eww get off of me!" I shoved Chris to the floor and jumped over the couch staring at him.

     "Just a minute ago you that I was adorable."

     "Drop the act! You aren't welcome here." Jacob rose from the couch staring Chris down. Chris smiled sheepish rising to his feet.

     "I suppose you are right but neither are you." Chris went in for a punch, knocking Jacob to his feet. Ethan stood in front of me, protecting me from him. "Move!" Ethan held his ground before Chris shoved him aside. It was the thought that counted right. Chris grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the door. I tried calling my powers but nothing was working. Useless powers!

     The night sky was turning a shade of purple and I knew the sunrise was coming. Chris threw me to the ground and the others gathered around. "Now that we have her I have to return her to father. You losers have disappointed him enough all ready."

     "Us losers? You are just as much to blame as we are," Zach said.

     "Maybe if you weren't such a terrible leader that is," Davin added.

     They started bickering with each other and I slowly crawled away before standing. I went to the trap door but I couldn't lift it like the others. There has to be another entrance. Hands pulled me upright and around my mouth. Kicking, I struggled against them.

     "Can't get away that easily," Chris said against my ear. They pushed me forward and we walked to another hideout that was hidden in a tree. Just like their last one. The room was a complete state of the arc lab. Everything was shiny and new that I didn't even notice someone standing in front of me.

     "This must be my new invention. Let me look at her." Eve's father stood hovering over me. He reached out to touch my face but I glared at him.

     "Careful. I've been known to bite off fingers," I growled and he pulled his hand away.

     "That would explain the trouble you've caused my boys and daughter," he laughed and turned away to a computer. Chris continued to hold me in place as I struggled. Davin and Zach guard the door we came out of but there was another one on the other side of the room. Bring my foot up I smashed it down on his foot. Cursing he let go and I took off. 

     "Get her!" The scientist yelled as he vicious grabbed things around his desk. His three sons chased after me. It wasn't long when I reached the door but it wouldn't open. There was a control panel that required a hand scan. I banged on the door helplessly hoping someone would hear me. The door slide open and Eve walked out confused. 

     "Eve-" Eve grabbed me and pulled me inside before the boys reached the door. She slide it closed and punched the control panel, disabling the door. "You saved me... why?"

     "They were bound to find out that I didn't want to be a part of their nefarious plan sooner or later," she said. The door shook with impact as a huge dent bulge out. "Davin got super strength. It won't take long before he breaks it down. Come on." 

     We took off towards the hideout were the others were when I asked, "How'd you know I was going to be in there?"

     "Well when Ethan came running towards me, telling me what happened, I knew my brothers were taking you to my father," I looked at her and then she added. "He also request me to meet him in the laboratory." 

     "That sounds about right." 

     Eve placed her hand on the wall and mumbled, "I am not evil." The door slide open to her command and she rushed inside. "Guys we need to move now!"
