Episode 18

Hannah and Jennifer walked through a large tunnel to the den. The den was an open area on top of a cliff. Solid rocks could be seen at every angle. There were no trees except at a distant down the cliff. Hannah stood at the end of the cliff looking down from there. The height was like a ten storey building. As she looked down, wind blew her hair backward. However, Jennifer stood behind without getting closer to her but Hannah called her saying, “Come
over”

“No, I’m not gonna do that” Jennifer replied.
“Why?”

“I’m afraid of height”
Hannah smiled and walked out from there to Jennifer. “Somebody like you shouldn’t be afraid. You have a natural power and a huge responsibility unlike me. So you gat to be strong” she walk pass her.

“So, can we start?” Jennifer turned.
“Yes, look at all these rocks” Hannah pointed are the cracked rocks. “What can you see?”
“Cracks” Jennifer replied.

“There were made by me when i was learning how to use my powers by my parents”
“How?” Jennifer moved closer.
“Like this” Hannah stretched her hand, a fire came out from it and struck one of the rocks thereby giving it a crack. She looked at Jennifer and said, “Try it”

“No, my power doesn’t work that way”
“How does it work?”
“It lift things up”
“Then lift the rocks!”
“What?!”

“You heard me” Hannah replied unabashedly. Jennifer glance at her then stretched her hand at the rock but nothing happened. She tried the second time, yet nothing happened then she became disappointed and looked at Hannah.
“It’s not working again”
“That’s because you lack concentration” Hannah began. “Is something bothering you? Are you worried about something or somebody?”
“I guess” Jennifer became emotional. “It’s about Jack”

“What about him?”
“I.. i.. i was quiet aggressive to him
yesterday. Ever since then i couldn’t get him off my mind”

“Are you in love with him?” Hannah asked while Jennifer became amazed because ever since they became friends Hannah had never said anything about love.

“Yes, i love him but
”
“But Karina is in the picture” Hannah interrupted Jennifer who shook her head positively. “Well, i have nothing to say” she tapped her shoulder looking at the seed which hung on Jennifer’s neck. “Empty your mind and heart,

concentrate on the rock and don’t think of anybody or anything except the rock. Just think of how you want it to be or move”
Jennifer followed the instructions. To her amazement, the rock began to float in the air. “I’ve done it!” she shouted happily.
“Yes, now draw it closer to yourself” Hannah commanded.

Jennifer pulled her hand back forcefully then the rock followed the direction coming to her face with a high speed. She couldn’t control it anymore, therefore she screamed. Before the rock hit her face, she felt a another power within her so she hit the large rock with her hand and it broke into pieces. Hannah couldn’t believe it!
“Oh, my God! Did you see that?!” Jennifer shouted happily.
“Wow” Hannah exclaimed. “Can you do that again?”
“Yes” Jennifer repeated the action
severally breaking large and hard rocks with her hands and even faster

“Where is Karina?” Randy returned the query.
“She isn’t at work today”
“Why?”
“I don’t know. I have been trying to call her but she’s not picking up”

Randy thought for a while. “Okay” he wanted to walk out forgetting his purpose of coming there.

“Excuse me?” Blessing called his attention. “Should i believe that you came all the way to this place because of Karina?”
“Oh, sorry, i need a Milky Crab” Randy smiled which Blessing also returned.
