I couldn't even protect her.
The ground started shaking again,
"Iris, you needa stop crying, we're gonna be in big trouble."
"(Still crying)"
"God damn, control your emotions."
This time everything went black…and when I opened my eyes I found myself in my room.
"Iris! You awake. Wanna have some water?" Helen rushed as she saw me whine.
"Mhm." I drank the water and asked. "Where, is Alfran?"
"He-you see. Actually he's busy with work."
"Work?"
"(Nod)"
"We-I mean, I wanted to say sorry."
"For what?"
"When you said you don't have powers, we shouldn't have left you. And nor would you…"
"Nor would I-?
"Actually-you were in Coma for 1 month."
"What does Coma mean?"
"You were unconscious for more than a month."
"...wha-where is Alfran? Are you hiding something?"
"..."
"Say it...please. Did he get into trouble because of me?"
"(Slightly Nod) It's not your fault."
"(Tears up) Not my? Where is he?" I asked while stepping down.
*Collapse**
"Iris. You haven't walked for a month. Your body isn't stable right now."
"But-"
"He is fine. It's just that he got a bit wounded while using his powers."
"You're not lying, right."
"I'm not." She said, as she laid me down on the bed.
The room was filled with silence. Before Helen broke it and said.
"Iris, you know what we were all very young when we were bought here."
"Bought here?"
"Yeah. I was 6 when I came to this organisation. Liam, Suzan were 7, Aiden was 3 months older than me. And Alfran was 8."
"So are you all childhood friends?"
"Well we are best friends. We used to fight a lot over small stuff."
I listened to her as she said.
"Growing up we knew we had to live together. So we decided to stop nagging and fighting. Gradually we developed a really strong bond between each other. We were orphans before meeting each other. Now this is our own family."
To be honest, I even wanted to feel what it meant to be with family.
"You wanna know why we brought you here?"
"...em.."
"You have the power that can stop Frank from arching his goals."
"What powers? And who is Frank?"
"It's the power gifted by angels to you. We've been searching for you for over 5 years and Frank has been searching for about 15 years. He is the person who wants to take your power. You should know, your power is not just simple as it sounds, any wrong word can completely end this world."
"Why would Frank want my powers?"
"We don't know yet. Our information is limited, but we just know it's not good."
"Ah! Before that were in the world is Alfran."
"I told you, he's alright."
"I need to check it for myself."
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"That's who I am,"
"Yeah.. I'll talk to you to see him tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, why?"
"Because it's midnight." She pointed to the time board. (Why wasn't there any watch)
"Then will you at least tell me where he is, just...this one question and I'll sleep."
*Sigh**
