chapter 11

Mina chuckled as Clara explains. "I promise."

She turned her head towards the two men and smiled.

"I'll need your two help at the walls. Robert you have the power of metal and magnetism, and Brian you have the power of wind and electricity. I still don't know what another way you could use your powers. But try using it as often as possible so you know when you feel tired."

Tessa came in with sweaty face and rubbed her temples. "Sixty-six small balls or eleven big balls of water."

Eleven? She already used seven gates. Four more? Alex said he used the power for eleven times as well.

"I heard Alex saying he used his powers eleven times as well. It seems the powers can be used an only a certain amount of times."  Suddenly Mia and Ian appeared and she looked at the clock. "Eleven minutes. It's good, then you know how long you can run in case of danger."

Brian and Robert understood as well. ''So it's eleven. How many gates you had today?"

"Seven with this one. Let's go home and I'll open four more and let it open for a while just to see how long it can last." She waved her hand and patted their heads as they entered the gate.

She opened the gate to the basement and closed to the other place and as they came to the basement she suddenly had an idea. "What about the gate to that armoury? We can start taking their stuff away, without them even noticing it. Are they still on the walls?"

Brian quickly turned on the screens and nodded. "What is your idea?" He could see her smile becoming big.

"They have people watching over the storage outside. But no one is inside that place?" Clara asked and saw on the screen people playing cards in the living area, while storage was deep underground. Two floors under them. Secret storage from who knows when.

Clara clapped her hands. "Fine. Robert, get ready. You will stand on this site and house your magnetic or metallic powers to drag as many weapons out as you can."

The door opened and Brian almost fainted as he saw how many weapons they gathered. They really found do many?

Robert suddenly had another idea. "Open door to that place before. I'll just push the weapons there and then we can go and get it."

Clara understood his intention and opened a gate but this time she made it bigger. Robert walked to the other place and started using power.

As she put the gate near the wall, the weapons looked like they were sucked in into the wall. Clara looked at the clock in worry and then at a decreasing amount of weapons and shook her head. "He should not overuse it."

But the weapons steadily were dragged into the other place and just as the last box of weapons passed trough the gate Robert started shaking.

Looking at his weak and pale face, Brian rushed to him and supported him to the other gate. Clara swiftly opened gate towards their room upstairs and was about to close the door when she became mischievous. She sat down on the PC and printed something.

As she closed the gate, in mid of room was a paper with huge "Thank you" written. But on the other side was "Fill it again, we need more."

As she closed the door she chuckled as she saw the two men looking at her face. "What?"

"What did you write?" Robert was a bit tired but he was sitting so he regained some of the energy. And he was curious. This young woman is usually serious. Seeing her playful made him smile.

"Oh... that." She smiled brightly. "I thanked them. And on the other side, I asked them to fill it again, we will need it. Hehehehe."

At first, the two men blinked at her then started laughing. "I should go and check the cameras later. I wanna see his face. Oh, ha ha ha."

Brian started laughing and couldn't stop or talk. He really wants to see their faces. As his laughter became calmer he patted his chest and became serious.

"Let's not let anyone know about our powers accept Alex and a few of his closest people. For now, we should just let know our group. And no one else. No matter how much you trust them." Brian was just being cautious. "We must learn anyway about the powers we have and how to control them."

Clara nodded. "I'll find places that are empty and will let all power users train their powers. We don't know if those one cell creatures will evolve as well."

Brian nodded. "Let's do that later. Did you finish your eleven gates?"

"I don't remember. I'll open one more and will see if there is any change in powers." Clara waved her hand and door to their kitchen was open. Right at that moment she felt a bit uncomfortable but not tiered. She pressed her lips and started opening doors in various places. The note she opened the more tired she became.

But when she opened twenty she felt dizzy. "Twenty for me. Let me close unneeded."

Just as she planned to close them Brian jumped. "Wait. Look."

She shook her head and realized she opened door to huge mall far away from them. It was quiet there. The shelves with food were full and nothing was broken or attacked.

It was late afternoon but not night. She had the door to Deatheaters open and closed all other except the one to the mall. She saw one of the creatures curiously looking at her.

"Uhm, can you check out this place for me? But please be careful with the food. We need it to survive." She politely asked.

The creature came to her and first rubbed his head on her and then slowly entered. Right after that he poked his head through the door and started humming. A whole lot of Deatheaters suddenly woke up and rushed inside.

Clara just closed their eyes and started praying. Don't break it... don't break it...
