I'm a shining hero
Sunday 12 January 2014
That was a stunning, calm glade in the middle of dark forrest. Sun was shining and all I heard was birds singing forest songs in the trees. Gentle breez blew and Vegard's curls smoothly stroked my cheek. I looked into his eyes and smiled. He sighed and took my hand. "I really care about you since you almost died..." he said quietly with some sadness which I didn't understand. "I'm happy I could find some time to sit here and look after you, my little hero. I'm just stalking at you for so long and talking to you, but you say nothing..." I was trying to answer but I couln't say any word, like I was mute. "Just... don't let me wait..." he whispered. A tear ran down my cheek. He touched it. "Sorry, if you cry because of me..." Then I heard another voice speaking in Norwegian. I turned around. Bård was here, just talking something to Vegard. "Hun gråter" answered Vegard, "Hun vil vakn opp i dag, Bård..." I didn't know what's going on. I took a deep breathe and felt some power, then I was falling in darkness, and when I opened my eyes I saw bright light and two blurry shapes. And when it was getting sharper and sharper I saw two people standing over me. Smiling. Bård and Vegard. "Welcome back to living" said Vegard, he was full of hapiness. I was trying to say hello, but my throat just made a strange noise. I was feeling like I have been mute for ages. "Hello" I whispered after a while and smiled to them gently. "Have I overslept for dinner? I'm starving."

I turned to the door and looked at it with a smile. That smile meant "excited". And then I finally felt that. The power was flowing in my aorties and I was shining with blue light. I felt that my body has to move,my power has to work. So I moved. I broke down the door and I was in narrow corridor. One man came running around the corner. He took his gun, but I have already been in the air, attacking him. So he ended on the floor, giving a bloody kiss on it. I was running and beating people in the building. I didn't like that kind of fight, but I had to find the boss. One man managed to warn people. I heard them in whole building. I was afraid, that I won't find the boss, but, fortunately, there was a map of the building in this room. I was pretty shure, that the room with two secret exits and a patio connecting all parts of the fabric was the room I was looking for. So I came here. I walked into and nobody was here. I quickly came to the patio. At the same while, the man I remembered from science lesson, came here aslo. He looked at me and smiled. "Well, well, well..." "Now, I'm gonna kill you, you know." And after a second Irealized, that I killed the man in school. I just wanted to ask, but he said: "You killed my brother. My twin. He just wanted to know something more about the power..." "He wanted to use it in very cruel way, I'm shure about that!" "You have no idea what he wanted and you will never know. I just wanna finish what he started and avenge him." "But you won't." I was supposed to attack, but suddenly, he took a knife from his sleeve and throw it. He hit me. I felt very strong pain in my stomach and shouted. I fell down, but I didn't make the red sign on the sky. The man stood vis-a-vis at a distance of about one meter. He was holding a gun, ready to shoot me. "I don't have your power. But you won't stay alive so long, so that I can take that. So I'm just gonna shoot you." "Why? Your brother needed the power to kill people." "How do you know his plans?" "I don't. It was just obvious." "He was a bad man. You don't have to..." "Shut up!" He shouted. "I'm gonna kill you. I really do! In three... two... one..." I heard a gunshot and fir few seconds I believed that I died. But then I saw that. The boss was lying in a pool of blood. From his room came Vegard with someone's gun and Bård next to him. They knelt beside me. I was bleeding. They were talking something, but I couldn't unserstand. Vegard took my hand. "Thank you!" I whispered. "I love you sweeties." Everything in my head mixed and there was only bug chaos. I saw just mixwd colours. The pain stopped and I sank into deep darkness...
Tuesday 10 December 2013
I appeared. Didn't walk in, didn't wake up, just appeared. I was on the Oslo street somewhere, but I didn't know that city. I looked around. It was getting dark. Lots of people were walking down the street, but they didn't notice me. I smiled to one woman. Nothing. I tried to talk with one old man. He didn't even look at me. That was annoying. The noise of the street was making me feel stressed. All the voices, steps sounds, car noise... I sat on the bench and took a deep breath. "Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm..." I repeated in my mind. I was shocked, when I realised, that my powers appears - I was just a shadow, like a spirit. But my aorties came blue and started shining and I had to control the adrenaline. At the beginning of my hero-being I didn't controle myself and I was a danger. Now, all my powers have been under control. I heard that somebody suddenly stopped laughing and I felt that somebody is starring at me. I looked up. That were them. Two cute brothers starring at me like they see a ghost. Actually, I was a ghost. But they were suprised, becouse they have seen my power, my shining blue aorties. Anyway, that were them. Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker. Two Norwegians I wanted to see and that was my greatest dream ever. "Hvem er du?" Asked Vegard. "Sorry, I don't speak norwegian." I said. "I am Weronika and I 'm a... hero..." I said unsteadily. They were just more suprised. "I know that it sounds weird, but you have seen what I did. I need help and it's very important. You don't see real me. Just the spirit. I'm almost dead, because of drugs I had taken to appear here and call somebody." "What do you mean, girl? Just... what are you talking about?" "I am a hero. You have to know something about me, I'm pretty shure you have heard this story about secret hero from Poland, Wroclaw?" "Ah, yes, fantastic story tale from Poland..." Answered Bård. "I am the shining hero. Story is about me." I said. They faces was like: what have you taken?! "You saw the power. I was attacked and kidnapped to Oslo, to closed fabric in suburbs, and dragged so that I can't use my power. They gonna kill me, so I have taken another drugs to appear here and call some help. Please, guys, you'e my last hope." They were looking at me in silence and then Vegard broke the silence. "I believe you. I wouldn't but what can explain this? But first show me proof you are the hero and then tell where is real you." "Thanks, Vegard." I said and got up. I let my power spread in all my aorties, I jumped somersaulted and slumped. They were impressed. "Now we have to get to me, to the fabric. You can't call the police, it would alarm the kidnappers and I'm shure they would escape in time. You have to help me get my powers back. We need one policeman or guard, like this one guarding the carpark right there. You have to steal the inhibitor. I can't, I'm just a ghost. You can do this. Then we will go to me. I can hear my heart beating, I'm not very far. I will wake myself up and you will electrecute me with inhibitor to get my powers back. I trust you more than myself. My body is weak so more than second can kill me. Then you will wait for sign. If you see red light on the sky, you call police and the ambulance and say that I'm dying. If you see the blue one, mission is over and we won. I call my special police and everything is ok." I just had this plan in my head. I don't know why, I just had. "Are you into?" " Lead us to yourself." Said Bård. He sounded confident. Stealing the inhibitor was easy - Vegard was talking with the guy and Bård took it. So we went, following my heart soft beating. It took about twenty minutes to get there, but I felt like that took ages. Finally we found the carpark and sneak up quietly to the white van. I looked at them and said: "One of you is going with me there with me to electrecute my heart. The second one waits here." "I go with you." Said Vegard. I agreed. We sneak up to the little widnow. I saw myself lying on the floor, I looked like I was dead. Without any problems my spirit came into the room and sank into myself. I woke up and approached to the window. Vegard used the inhibitor and my powers were back in half of a second. I was ready to the action.
It was small room, empty, fetid and dirty. Walls were dark, red-coloured and didn't really make me feel good. There was old metal door - I checked it, was closed - and little, grided window and I could see trough this empty carpark. There was only one van standing it the middle. In the room I found a piece of rope and empty, broken glass. I didn't hear any sound. I wanted to call somebody, but I was scared. I was imprisoned.
I started to remind. At first, I recall science lesson. In my mind I put the picture: I'm sitting in scence class, tacher is talking some dumb staff which nobody understands. I see Paula next to me. Yes, she reminds me about something... A gun leveled at her head. And then all the story came ack to my head. A man, a game, a jump, a kill and then... darkness. All.
I was sitting for few minutes in silent, looking at the carpark. And suddenly I heard some noise. Somebody was coming down the stairs to my scary room. I heard opening lock and a tall man entered. He weared black jacket and strange bowler. His face was scarred so that he looked really terrible. I got up slowly and looked into his dark eyes. "I can kill ou right now." I said surely. He laughed loudly. "Do you think I'm dumb" shouted. "I dragged you and your powers are off." I felt like he just hit me. I was in real danger. "Where I am?" I asked. "Oslo, suburbs, closed fabric. Boss would kill me for giving you this info, but I don't really care. Nevertheless you gonna die. Mr Anybody just wanna your power so he is waiting till you can give it to him." "I'm not gonna give it to him." "You will." He left the room.
I was desperated. I started to scour my pockets. I found hidden bottle of grayanotoxin. I knew that using this would help me survive, but taking too much drugs is dangerous. On the other hand, if I take a little... I could get some safe hours. And some drugs blended have special properties. I was almost shure that grayanotoxin with some drugs gives belocation ability... I could call help within a radius of ten kilometers... I took the bottle from hidden pocket. I examined it, slowly took up to lips and took a gulp. I fell on the ground, sinking into darkness...
I'm just gonna die for few days. Mr Blackwood gave me these drugs. Grayanotoxin lets me be dead to rest. Then I wake up and keep saving the world. And a lot of people just look at me and scream: "I though you were dead!" And I say: "People talk lots of stupid things, almost always lies." I can't just say anything else... And also I can't tell them why I suddenly run out during the lesson... Being secret hero is tiring. And demanding. But looking into someone's eyes after rescuing him is the best feeling ever. People are thankful to me. I love that.
It was next science lesson and I had enaugh. Yep, today killing myself again. Last time it was... two months ago, in October. After an attack in New Orlean. During these two months nothing unusual happened but I'm just tired becouse of all things on my mind.
I looked at the blackboard and thought what means this all chemistry. I couldn't understand anything. "What you're thinking about?" asked Paula. "I'm just wondering... if you could be a hero, how would you deal it with school and you know... such things?" "Haha, Weronika. You and your heroes..." she laughed. "But what would you do?" "Probably play truant a lot!" Yes, she is clever. But I don't play truant usually. My parents don't let me. They know that I am superhero, but they don't care. They treat is as my hobby and don't believe I get so tired of this. That's why I take grayanotoxin and mr Blackwood says them that I am saving the world somewhere. I turned to Bartek and Daga behind me. "Seriously, I have no idea how to do these exercises!" I said. "God, chemistry is stupid..." Bartek had no idea too.
Suddenly something happened. We heard some noise from corridor. And... a gunshot? Three men entered the classroom with guns. "I am looking for a girl." The one in the middle intimated. "Very fantastic girl named Weronika." He smiled. I got up slowly and everybody was looking terryfried at me. The man sighted me with scary smile on his face. "Now: I'm gonna kill your friend if you try to attack me." He directed the gun to Paula's head. "You have to kill yourself." I looked at him and Paula. I had to think, not lose my mind! "That doesn't make sense." I answered after a while. "What if she is not my friend and I don't care about her? I'll jump, you'll shoot and next second you'll be dead. I have another idea. To do this with honor. I jump, you shoot. I will die or you will die. Do you like it?" "Haha, smart girl." He laughed. "Ok, let's play your game in three, two, one..." I jumped, feeling my power in my arteries, and he shoot. He didn't get me and I smashed his head on the ground. Suddenly, two men, which I forgot about, sourranded me and injected something into my organism. I sank into darkness.
