FS Rhea's Story -- Part Three

I felt the best I ever had when we went to bed, because at last I was in a bed and not a bus stop bench or a bus seat. I cried a little, thinking of the past, but I was too tired to keep it up more than fifteen minutes or so and fell into sleep.

It was around three a.m. that I woke up. I had been dreaming about the attack and the Fire, I heard the gunshots and the explosion ringing in my ears. When I woke, Kyuri was staring at me, her eyes lit in a weird way by the streetlights outside. I was sobbing, hearing another gunshot from my dream and realizing that it was not just my dream, it was a gunshot from a distance in this creepy creeps neighborhood. But I couldn't help but remembering, and I cried harder.

In the end, I told the story of the Fire to Kyuri that night, and she revealed that she also was from a School, although hers was bigger and not as nice. It felt good sharing secrets, plus I was distracted by her talent for pulling things out of air. Literally. Aparrently things with lots of parts was harder, as well as things made of complicated materials like wood.

We traveled. Kyuri somehow managed to talk a used car dealer out of a VW Camper. We headed for Montana, and Glacier National Park. I eventually came to be able of thinking about the Fire without breaking, but I had many a good cry for Corbin. It was Kyuri who pointed out my random static charge whenever I was upset or exited. We realized that I could control electricity, and with much practice, I learned to take and use electricity on things. This posed a problem though, with my proficiency of power, I lost control easily, with more disastrous results.

I promised myself I would be like a song I heard on the radio in Idaho. I am a rock, I would never love again because of what happened at that School. Thinking back, I had realized it was my electricity that had made the spark that blew up the gas tanks.

And so it went. We traveled by VW until I decided it would be a good idea to visit Germany, which was quite fun. Visited quite a few quaint towns until Kyuri almost got caught for making fake money. And when we caught the plane back… The rock almost broke, over some blind mutie who cut himself. But still, maybe it's time for the island to rejoin the mainland…
