A Guster’s Strength

NOTE: This book contains some violence/blood. Please don’t copy it and make sure to read my other books! (this is kinda like my discontinued book Project Lodestar in a few ways but not many) 
= Prologue =
Danni had to run. She had to get away. But she had to do it in a non-suspicious way. In a way that would make the boy with curiously-looking teal eyes behind her stop following her. Danni began walking at a brisk pace as if to make it look like she was headed somewhere in a hurry. The boy followed. Danni resisted the urge to whip her head around and look to see if the boy was gone. She rounded the corner. He followed. His teal eyes seemed to bore into the back of her head. This boy wanted her, and Danni was afraid that he wanted her powers. Had he seen her playing with the leaves in the front yard using her wind power? And how would he have known that she was the one making the leaves flutter around? 
“Wait!” the boy called. 
She had to run. 
Had to hide. 
Had to disappear. 
So Danni sprinted. She sprinted until she had run around the whole block. Until she had reached the middle school. She kept going, ignoring the occasional trip-up in her feet. Her breath was disappearing. No. She couldn’t get caught. Danni tripped. She fell. She felt her knees collapse and heard footsteps pounding the ground like a herd of elephants. No. Images blurred. A face leaned in front of her body. 
“No!” Danni twisted and shrieked. She stood and promptly collapsed. Whether it was exhaustion or loss of breath, Danni didn’t know. But everything was swirling. Fuzzy images of people. 
Plural. More than one. No. They wanted her. The teal-eyed boy was there. A girl with blonde hair was there. Another boy with blonde hair, a girl with teal eyes, and a boy with blue eyes were all there. They were all there for her. Danni tried to run. And this time, a burst of energy pushed her forward. She sprinted. Sprinted down two more streets. Ignoring the cries of the people behind her. They wouldn’t catch her. This time, all of the air left her. All of the air faded. All of the images turned to blobs of color as something hit hard cement. Her. She was Danni. She was the one on the ground. They were upon her. The boy with teal eyes leaned over her. 
“No,” Danni whispered. But all of her energy was gone. There was no burst of power to break free. There was nothing. The world began to fade… things were turning black. Someone picked her up, off of the ground. Someone was carrying her through a blast of warmth. And then… black.
