11.

we both admired the crystals we got, it took some time before we got over the fact that we now have crystals growing in our body. I thought to myself that maybe the attraction I felt was coming from the crystal in my leg and it felt like it was supposed to do be doing something but maybe it doesn't have enough energy to do what it was supposed to do. I looked at my cousin to see still admiring the crystal he got in both hands before asking him

Me: Do you get anything strange feeling from that crystal in your hand?

Daniel: I feel some kind of energy in my hand but it's too small for something to even happen.

Me: I feel the same with the one in my feet, I can't wait to see what will happen.

I went back to where all the crystal were before picking one to put it in my mouth and that was when I got a feeling from my left foot that it was going to absorb something and before I could register the feeling, the crystal in my hand turned in to gas seeping through my hand before going to my left foot where I got the feeling.

I looked down at my hand where the crystal was supposed to be at but it wasn't there, I was amazed by what happened, I looked back to see my cousin was also stupefied by what happened, he came closer before picking one crystal up and the same thing happened, I could get a more clear view of what happened and what happened was when he picked the crystal, the crystal that he got in both hand emitted weak light before the crystal he was holding turned into gas and went into his hand and that was when a line appeared from hand absorbing the gas connecting to the other arm and when it did, the crystal in both grew a little bigger than it was before.

Me: The strange feeling from my crystal got stronger after this happened, what about you?

Daniel: I feel like I can now do this, ( He raised one of his hands when a weak light came from it before going out.

Me: That's is so cool, I think we know have superpowers?

Daniel: Hahahahaha

I joined him in his laugh, it took some time before we stopped laughing and looked at the remaining crystal with stars in our eyes, we both understood at the same time that by absorbing this crystal whatever abilities we got will get stronger and easier to understand.

It took 100 crystal for me to stop feeling any improvement and that whenever the crystal gets into my body, it just gives me more energy nothing else but I was happy with what I got so far, I understood my ability has something to do with the ground I am stepping on and also I stop feeling the attraction instead what I felt was familiarity with the ground like as long as I have my foot on the ground I would be undefeated.

My cousin got something like controlling energy and it looks like it does anything he wants, we have both developed a full crystal in our body now and it has the same size as the ones the zombies have. It didn't feel uncomfortable that I have my crystal under my foot but my cousin was weirder since he has two crystals and it wasn't even a full crystal like it was half on both hands and it looks like if it's combined it would be a whole crystal.

I was so excited to try out my ability and it was like I expected I could control the earth around me, I felt in control of all the things made of earth in the room I was in, I willed for a stone pike to come out from the wall beside me, it worked but not like I expected, it looked crooked because my control was bad, I tried to will it to get back, it did but you can see that the wall looked different than it was before.

It looks like I needed more training before I can do whatever I want, my cousin was excited to try out his ability after he saw what I did, he stretched out his hand and from the center of his palm you see energy spewing out madly I touched it but it wasn't harmful, I looked confused to see my cousin was struggling before stretching his other arm and the energy spewing out got absorbed into it. I was gobsmacked by what happened so I asked him

Me: what happened?

Daniel: It was hard controlling all the energy my right hand spewed out so in instinctively moved my left hand and this happened.

Me: Does that mean you got to abilities then.

Daniel: I think so.

I told him to slowly try to make the energy come out and see if it was easier to control, he did as I said and it was amazing when the small amount of energy he spewed shaped into a small knife before shaping into a ball and then taking a bullet shape. I laughed hard when I saw how excited he was playing with the energy in his hand.
