“Here.” Aeron grabbed hers and his, “Stupid girl…you can’t.”

"Well technically you can, if you have good behavior and good control of your powers, they'll let you see your parents again……….I have to stay here." Astra explained before thanking him.

Everest got in line arms crossed glaring at any who faced her way. Many people mistook her for being completely blind and that gave a good advantage. She turned and saw the guard who has been watching her from the shadows. He has looked away once. She still tried to get this thing off her neck but nothing was working. Someone passed her a paper and she looked down at her hands "How in the hell am I supposed to read this?" The person didn't answer and just walked away.

“I’m sorry you do.” Aeron glanced over to the girl from before, some collar round her neck.

Astra's guards formed a protective barrier arouns Astra and Aeron. "No I have no parents and well." Astra's voice flattered. Should she tell him?

Everest walked over to where there were fewer people just staring at the paper in her hand. "Seriously what do they expect from me?" She knew she couldn't start anything, but most the people wouldn't even go near her now. "This is frustrating!"

“No..parents? You have to stay here.. that’s horrible. I’d hug you but you’d probably phase out on me.” He smiled a little.

Astra took a deep breath before speaking. "Remember how I said I had health issues and how this power caused it?" Astra asked him nervously.

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

Everest could help but overhear their conversation, but she was bored and had nothing else to do.

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

"I'm dying Aeron." Astra's body shook at the thought.

"Dying huh?" Everest whispered "Because of her power? or was she always just Sick?" Everest's interest had peaked at their conversation.

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

"I'm dying Aeron." Astra's body shook at the thought.

Aeron blinked, “No, You can’t die, you’re the only person here I like.”

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

"I'm dying Aeron." Astra's body shook at the thought.

Aeron blinked, “No, You can’t die, you’re the only person here I like.”

"Not right away dummy." Astra hesitated before continueing. "I have to stay here, this is the only thing thats keeping me alive. You see this." Astra showed him a watch on her wrist. "Thats how much time i have left." Her voice cracked.

A few kids walked by Everest whispering "That girl was totally crazy for trying that." One said and the other nodded. "At least I'm brave enough to try and get out of here." She glared "Unlike you wimps." One of the kids turned and marched toward her, she went for his neck. But, she had forgotten about the collar around her neck. She let out a scream and she fell to the ground once again. The boy snickered before walking away.

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

"I'm dying Aeron." Astra's body shook at the thought.

Aeron blinked, “No, You can’t die, you’re the only person here I like.”

"Not right away dummy." Astra hesitated before continueing. "I have to stay here, this is the only thing thats keeping me alive. You see this." Astra showed him a watch on her wrist. "Thats how much time i have left." Her voice cracked.

”Oh, okay then.”

Aeron nodded, “I do, yeah.”

"I'm dying Aeron." Astra's body shook at the thought.

Aeron blinked, “No, You can’t die, you’re the only person here I like.”

"Not right away dummy." Astra hesitated before continueing. "I have to stay here, this is the only thing thats keeping me alive. You see this." Astra showed him a watch on her wrist. "Thats how much time i have left." Her voice cracked.

”Oh, okay then.”

"So as you can see, you don't want my powers. Because I'm always in pain. Each time I phase." Astra demonstrated by slowly waving her hand in front of him. Her hand was almost leaving her bot before coming out again. "Its like being sewn together before being rippes to pieces." Aatra stopped. "And I shouldn't have said that." Astra face palmed.

Everest was finally just done. She gave up and just laid in the grass, tears threatening to pour down her face. She didn't want any of the other kids to go through what she was at this moment. She took her anger out on the grass as she pulled handfuls out of the ground.

“No, no don’t be like that. I’m glad I know,” he sighed, “I wish I could help you.”

Astra gave him a small smile. "Well I could you a friend." She hinted.

Aeron eyes lit up at the mention of friend, “I’ll be your friend.” He smiled back at her.
