… Now You Don’t

(Read “Now You See Me…” before this)


My night was going so well until I met her, the girl with the leather jacket and red hair.

It was a total accident. I wasn’t even supposed to be in that park. I was supposed to be at home, doing my homework and reminiscing about my amazing date with Connor, which had ended with the most amazing kiss I have ever gotten in my life ( it was the only one of course, but I digress).

I remember being in my room after our date, after that amazing kiss, twirling and dancing, just feeling absolutely amazing.

I remembered the park where it happened, the swings, the benches, that big oak tree. I wished I could be there again kissing him.

I fell back onto my bed and felt the dewy grass instead.

I rolled onto my stomach and my eyes widened.

I was back at the park.

How had I done that? One minute I was in my room, the next I was in the park. How?

I knew the answer already but I didn’t want to believe it. I stood up and a brushed off my dress.

I was a teleporter, a rare….

“Oh shit!” I exclaimed.

It was a gift. Which meant…

I heard helicopters and started to run. The GPA would soon find me.

Damn it!

My life was going so well. I was top of my class, one of the best athletes in school, and I had finally kissed my life long crush. Why did this have to happen now?!

I ran through the rolling hills of the park in my bare feet. Stupid teleporting ability! My feet were wet, dirty and gross from the running. I slipped and fell, rolling down one of the small hills.

I reached the bottom in a matter of seconds. I got up quickly and started running again, not caring that my dress was ripped and I was covered in mud.

I was almost out of the park. I could see the gate just up ahead. If I could get there then I could get away, hopefully.

I ran harder, quickening my strides. Ace track star Bailey, was coming out.

The gate was only a few feet away now. I jumped through as if I was crossing the finish line in a race.

Then she ran into me, the girl with red hair and a leather jacket.

We slammed into one another and went rolling over the sidewalk. We both groaned and grumble as we sat up, and then she said her first words to me.

“Watch where you’re going bitch!”

“Back at you!” I retorted.

I watched her get up, her hands rested on her knees.

We stared at each other. She stood up, mouth opened and she went still before collapsing to the ground.

My eyes shot open as I realized what happened and as I went to get up, my body went stiff and I too collapsed.

We were tranquilized.

I watched as agents of the GPA approached us, most of them wore heavy duty military gear but two of them, a man and a woman each in a well fitted suit stepped in front.

The woman held out some sort of gun looking thing and a blue beam of light went over redhead and then me.

“Alright,” she started, “ who do we have? The red head is Katya Meyers, just a another nobody from the streets, and… oh shit! Matt come look at this.”

She held up the gun for the man, Matt, to look at.

“No freaking way, Mags, is that?”

“Yep.” She looked at me. “It’s Bailey Prescott, the boss’s kid.”

They both looked at me as if they thought they were in trouble.

“Do we…do we bring her in?” Matt asked.

“Of course we do!” blurted Mags, clearly not phased at who I was. “ She tested positive for a gift. Therefore she gets bagged and tagged like the rest of them.”

“Okie dokie. Alright boys, so your thing but try and be nice and don’t get handsy. I’m looking at you, Julian.”

I felt cuffs slam down on my wrists and a needle went into my neck.

A few seconds later, my world went black.
