Having Powers

Chapter 9

A few weeks went by without me having any further progress. I had racked my brains to find a way to bring Josh back, but I still had no idea how to do so.

The dreams have not stopped, it was now every single night that I saw his face. I tried a few times to communicate with him, even calling his name. Trying to get a response from him but nothing seem to work.

I was currently on my Mac laptop, searching the web for unusal occurences in people. So far I had found alot of persons claiming to be abducted by aliens, people who believe themselves to be reincarnated or persons communicating with spirits.

It was not quite what I was looking for, I go to log off when something popped up, on the top righthand corner of my screen. I guess it was the algorithm at work. It recommened something based on my search criteria.

I clicked on it and it opened up. I stared at the words in black.

You need my help.

Feeling a deep sense of deja vu, I searched for other links within it. I click on the button marked info.

An address with a pinned map shows up. Exaiming it, I see that its in another state, Columbus, Ohio to be exact.

A picture of a blond long haired person sunddenly flashed before my eyes. Their back was facing me, so I could not see their face.

As quickly as the image came it went, but I knew that it was important. I had to go to Ohio.

I must be losing my marbles because my mind was already devising a plan to reach there. Something was telling me to go

I had mailed out a few application to colleges but had not accepted any, as I was still waiting to hear back, from two other colleges.

I could use that as an excuse of visiting the University of Columbus, Ohio. The Wrights would not know this was a lie and that I had never applied to that university. They had taken me under their wing, even with Josh still missing and I was to stay with them until I left for college.

There was no contact number or email address to contact this person. I did not even know, if it was a man or woman, but it was my only hope.

Realising that I was not going to get any further information from this site, I studied the map. The exact address was 142 Rose Lane off N 3rd St. I searched for accomodation nearby and find Drury Inn just a few blocks away.

The closest airport I could find was John Glenn Columbus International Airport. I booked my flight online and a room at the inn for Friday morning, which was the next day.

I should be able to get a taxi from the airport to take me to the inn. I would need to walk with some cash.

Money was not an issue, as at the reading of my parents will, they had left me quite a sustantial amount of money, which should tide me over for the rest of my life, unless I made some reckless financial decision

My short term plan was to seceretly delay college for a year as I still planned on finding my birth parents and getting rid of my powers.

I did not want to hurt anyone else. The guilt I felt over my parents death and the loss of Josh ate me up inside every day.

I just wanted to go back to being normal teenager and not a freak.

I wasn't sure how long all this would take, but hopefully a weekend would do. I needed to be back in time for school, plus I would not be able to justify an extented stay in Ohio to the Wrights.
