“This is impossible. The car stopped right in front of her? How can it be,” said Tyrese, who was observing from a distance. People rushed down to see the lady who was still covering her head with her hands, hoping for a miracle. “You are alive” this was the dominant speech from the mouth of most people around. She thought she was probably hearing the voice of dead people in the afterlife until Annie dragged and held her close. “I am not dead?” she said with tears rolling down her cheek.
Everyone wondered what could have happened without a breakthrough. Laika said when she felt it was over, she closed her eyes and said a short prayer of mercy, but she felt a shadow appear in front of her, and then she heard the sound of the collision thinking she was dead.
No one knew what happened, but there was a large handprint on the car, which showed it was stopped by someone possessing some extraordinary power. A supernatural being with good intentions. The police immediately came to the scene to arrest the suspect who was found dead at the crime scene. He was identified as the remaining piece of the puzzle (The last dreaded member of the notorious gang that they have been looking for).
“What on earth could have stopped that car with the fire around it?” said Josh, who was curious to get an answer. Maria, too was looking confused like everyone as they all watch the police do their job and clean up the whole mess.
“Did you see that? That wasn’t supposed to be humanly possible, is it? That little pretty over there, what has she done? Where did she get such ability? Troy must know about this. She might be useful, don’t you think so, Ed?” Ed replied yes and went further, saying they should get some gold for such information. The two goblins slowly disappeared into the shadows without anyone noticing them.
“What is wrong with me? What am I becoming? How on earth did I do that?” Maria kept asking herself several questions when she got home later in the evening. She couldn’t explain how she could move fast enough to that spot and even stop the car before it could hit the lady. She also made it back to her position fast before anyone could notice. It was like everyone was made to pause while she was the only one with active speed movement towards Laika.
After hours of imagination and soliloquizing without anything, she heard a faint voice saying “The Lilithians” again. She gave no regard to it but decided to walk into the wood and see if she could repeat what she did again. She walked deep to a place no one could see her and started making efforts to run at super-speed, but nothing was happening. She tried pushing a tree to fall, but it stood firm and refused to bend. After hours, she was getting frustrated, so she decided to go home.
“Hey Troy, we’ve got something for you, but we demand gold. A thousand pieces would be fine, but we don’t mind five thousand pieces.” Troy responded to the two goblins by asking why he should give them any gold because the last time they came to him with information, it was worthless. He told them he should take their heads and not provide them with any gold. They immediately told troy they’ve found a lady and she could be useful.
Troy refused to pay attention to what they were saying, but they won’t stop till they caught his attention by telling him the lady stopped a moving car with her bare hands. “She did what?” Asked Troy. Ed replied by asking for the gold they demanded before anything else about the situation would be revealed. Troy gave them what they asked from him and requested more information, so they narrated everything without missing a single detail.
On Maria’s way home she decided to walk close to a flowing river where she was shocked to see some teenagers playing. She asked what they were looking for alone in the wood. They told her they were doing a fishing competition and she could join them if she wants. Maria noticed they could be in danger, so she stayed back to fish with them, hoping it could help clear her head.
The activity turned out to be fun. Maria won their hearts by capturing big fishes. They made a small campfire, roasted some fishes, and even danced around it. They got carried away so much that they didn’t notice anything was approaching.
“Hey Troy, look down there, that’s the girl,” Ed told Troy, who was ready to confirm their stories. “I see, so that is the little pretty you believe has some supernatural power. Let’s see what she can do with her powers. Shall we?”
Troy stretched his hands towards a tree, and it immediately lost its balance and started falling towards one of the boys. Maria noticed it and just like she was able to save the girl in school. Her speed was activated along with her superpower. She saw the tree falling and pushed it away fast before it could hit anyone, and none of them saw her do it.
“Amazing,” said Troy, who was stunned to see her do such a thing. Troy immediately recognized there is something about Maria, so he decided to see more action by calling out two giant pythons to attack her.
Maria already told all the boys and girls to run, so they don’t get hurt. However, she knew she has to stay to buy time for them to escape. Troy walked down straight from a tree and started approaching Maria with the two pythons.
Maria knew she had no chance of winning, but she was ready to try. Before Troy could get too close to her, there was a sudden spread of gas all over the place. It grew so thick no one could see each other anymore. Suddenly a man walked in and dragged Maria out.
“This idiot Jake again,” said Troy, who was getting furious about the situation. He snapped his finger, and all the gasses disappeared. Jake had already escaped with Maria before Troy could make another move.
“Who are you?” asked Maria. She was curious about how the young man got to know what was happening. Jake told her it is unnecessary to answer the questions at the moment, but he has an answer to all the questions she has been asking.
Jake drove her far away from her home to his secret hideout, where no one would be able to sense her. “Maria, or should I call you Anna?” asked Jake, who wanted to let Maria know he understands everything that is happening. Maria was shocked. She asked several questions that Jake was able to answer perfectly without any mistake. She then mentioned the word Lilithian. Jake told her it is the only place she can learn the truth about herself.
Fighting Troy right now is suicide. You can’t win against him. It is a lost battle. In no time i will take you back home when they are no longer tracing you but know for sure they’ll be back.
He later took Maria home and asked her to let him know when she is ready to know more about herself from those who have the details. The next day, Maria’s father called to tell her he has a clue of where they could get answers to the things happening to her. He mentioned the home of the Lilithians. Maria was surprised to hear it from her father also so she said she would be home to see him so they could talk about finding the place.
