Chapter 25

"Can you really make this happen?" I asked.

Frank shrugged and squatted down next to the water. He put his hand on it and the whole pond froze over. He stood up, smiling as he took my hand. I stepped out onto the ice and giggled. The pond was frozen over and my sneakers slipped a bit but I thankfully didn't fall.

Three weeks we've been here now and every day was a little bit easier than the last. It took some time to adjust and Frank seemed to be getting more comfortable here. Everyone here was nice and most all of them were really interested and fascinated by Frank and the number of powers that he has.

"Frankie!" I gasped, holding his shoulders.

He smiled and held me steady so we could skate on the ice--without any actual skates. Other kids came to join us and I grinned. We skated around on our sneakers and held hands. Bert came over and Frank looked at him eagerly.

"Have you found my mom?" He asked hopefully.

"We've found a woman who fits her description at a remote location," Bert said.

"It's her?" Frank gasped. "We need to get her. I'll get her, I'll go myself. They can't stop me as long as I don't pass out from using too much energy--"

"Frank," Bert interrupted. "First of all, we aren't sure yet if it's her. Second, you can't go, we'll have someone else go that isn't on this island."

"P-please, you have to get her," Frank whimpered.

"I know, we're trying our hardest," he said. "Do you think I could get a picture of you two? Your mom might not cooperate unless she knows you're really here and you're safe."

We nodded and he held up a polaroid camera. We smiled for the picture and he took it out and shook it.

"Oh, that looks nice," I said, smiling as I looked at it.

"You know what, why don't we get another picture just for you to keep," he said.

I smiled, nodding my head. I wrapped an arm around Frank's waist again for the picture and he handed it to us when it developed.

"Oh, it's cute," I said. "Come on."

We went inside and I grabbed some tape, taping the polaroid up above the bed."

"That's so cute," I said. "What do you think?"

"It's cute," he mumbled.

I looked at him as he turned a little cold.

"Frankie?" I asked.

"I-I miss my mama," he whimpered.

"I know," I said softly, wrapping my arms around him. "It's gonna be okay, Baby."

Frank sniffled and nodded.

"I think that maybe we should ask Bert for our own polaroid," I said. "We can cover this whole wall in beautiful pictures."

Frank nodded with a small smile. He warmed up and I sat on the bed, pulling him onto my lap.

"So, I have a question," I said. "How are your special sessions with Pete?"

"They're good," he said.

"What do you talk about?" I asked.

"I don't know, stuff," he mumbled.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it," I said.

Frank nodded with a thankful smile. He laid his head on my shoulder and I rubbed his back gently. Frank looked at me with his glowing eyes and I kissed his cheek.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

"No but I want some hot chocolate," he said.

I smiled and nodded. We mixed together milk and the powder and Frank heated the mugs with his fire. We sat on the couch together, turning on the tv. He flipped through the channels and let out a sigh when he remembered there wasn't any American stations. We settled on a show of a bunch of people with accents talking about something we weren't exactly sure of the topic but it was still funny.

There was a knock on the door and I went over, smiling when I opened it and saw Alison, Bert's wife. She was beautiful with long brown hair and the prettiest smile.

"Hello, Bert was just wondering if you two were still on for dinner tonight," she said.

"Yes, we'll be there," I said.

"Good, he's excited to have someone new to cook for," she said.

I shut the door when she walked away and Frank whined.

"Do we have to go?" He asked.

"Yes, it'll be good, we need to get to know everyone here better," I said.

"Or we can just stay here alone together for the rest of our lives," he said.

I shook my head, kissing his forehead.

"It'll be fine," I said.

Frank huffed unhappily in the cutest way possible. I giggled, giving him a kiss.

"Do you want to join me in the shower?" I asked.

"I can't be in water with you, you know that," he mumbled.

I nodded and walked to the shower. I didn't spend long in there, cleaning up my hair. I got out and got dressed into a pair of jeans and a sweater. Frank wore a sweater that I had bought for him, a pink sweater similar to the one he wore on our first date.

"Cutie," I said, giving him a kiss.

We went down to their apartment and Bert smiled when they let us in. Cleo appeared in front of us and gave Frank a small scare, causing him to shock me.

"Cleopatra, no teleporting in the house," Bert said.

I smiled, holding Frank's hand.

"Come in," Bert said. 'I just finished up dinner."

I looked around at all the pictures on the walls as he lead us to the table. On the nearby couch Alison was sitting with a blanket over her chest and a bump under it, letting me to assume that she was breastfeeding.

"I'll be done in just a minute," she said.

"Cleo, can you wash up?" Bert asked and she disappeared into thin air. "Cleo, no teleporting."

We sat down and I saw frank's fingers dancing with electricity.

"Are you okay, Frank?" Bert asked.

"Y-yeah, yeah, I'm--" Frank paused to take a deep breath, "I'm fine. I'm sorry, I'm still trying to get a handle on my powers."

"No, don't apologize, it's fine," he said. "I get it. I made spinach enchiladas. Tortillas with spinach, cheese, garlic, onions and enchilada sauce."

"It sounds really good," I said.

I looked over at Frank and he nodded. He went to the kitchen and Frank tugged on my sleeve as I felt a shock. He looked at me, his eyes weren't glowing but they were big and scared.

"Frankie," I whispered. "It's okay, everything is gonna be fine, okay?"

Frank took a deep breath and nodded. He closed his eyes, mouthing words before he relaxed a bit. Cleo hurried in, sitting excitedly across from us.

"Are you the boss now?" Cleo asked. "You have the most powers. More than the whole world! You're the king?"

"No," Frank denied. "I-I'm definitely not, you dad is still in charge."

Bert walked in with a pan just as Alison joined us at the table. Minnie was put into a little rocker where she began to doze off. We were all dished up food and Frank nervously picked at it.

"So, Frank, where are you from?" Alison asked.

"I was born in Oregon but moved all over the country," he said.

"Where are you from?" I asked, noticing her slight accent.

"I'm from Australia," she said.

"How did you get up here?" I asked.

"I have healing powers and had been helping people on the downlow but then word got out and things got a little crazy and I had to go into hiding," she said. "But then Bert came into contact with me and told me about this place where I could be safe and he came down to Australia and showed me his powers. I thought I had been alone. I lived with my step-dad, my mom died when I was young and I didn't know my father so I didn't know they had powers, my step-dad didn't even know. He thought I was Jesus reincarnated. But I went back with him and ended up falling in love and the rest is self-explanatory."

I smiled softly as she gestured to Cleo.

"How did you two meet?" Bert asked.

I looked at Frank and he just stared back and I knew he wouldn't want to tell the story.

"He moved in down the street and I offered to be friends with him because he was the new kid in school," I said. "And then he saved a bookshelf from falling on my head and that's how I learned he had powers. Then I just fell head over heels for him."

"New boy, that's so cute," Bert said. "A little cliche but still really cute."

"He makes it cute," I said. "He was so sweet and shy."

Frank blushed, holding my hand. His eyes were glowing and Cleo gasped.

"That's so cool!" She exclaimed. "Can I do that?"

"I've never seen that, what is it?" Alison asked.

"It's nothing really, my eyes just glow sometimes, there's really no other use for it," Frank said. "It really doesn't do anything."

"They're very pretty," Alison said.

"Thank you," Frank said with a small blush as he looked down.

"I want that," Cleo said.

"You can already teleport, that's a pretty special one," Bert said. "Especially since you don't have any limitations."

"Limitations?" I asked.

"Yeah, normally people with teleportation powers have limitations," Bert explained. "Like Sarah, she can only teleport within a ten foot radius. Usually it's things like that. But she doesn't have any, she could go to C-H-I-N-A if she wanted."

"What's that?" Cleo asked and I assumed she couldn't spell.

"Nothing, just the bedroom," he said. "And some people can't teleport while holding something but she can. Well, not that they can't teleport but the thing they're holding won't teleport with them."

"I feel like I'm in school I've been learning so much," I said.

Bert chuckled and Cleo gasped.

"I go to school!" She exclaimed. "Do you wanna come with me? We're making macaroni necklaces tomorrow!"

"Jenna is a school teacher here," Alison said. "Have you met her? She's the sweetest and we have a garden here on the island that is always fully stocked because of her. If you ever want something just take it, there's all sorts of vegetables and fruits."

"I have met her, she's nice," I said. "I don't think Frank has, though. He hasn't really talked to anyone here."

Frank scowled at me but his eyes still glowed.

"Well, maybe you can come to our special night this Saturday, it's a great way to meet people," Bert said.

Special nights were something that had here every Saturday night. It was held in the recreation room but frank and I have skipped it for the past three weeks, mostly due on part to Frank's request.

"I think this week we were gonna just play board games," he said.

"I think that sounds like fun," I said. "We'll think about it."

"We would love to have you both," he said. "And people are very excited to meet you, Frank."

Frank blushed and soon we were done. I could tell frank didn't really want to eat but cleaned most of his plate anyways.

"It was so nice having you over," Bert said. "We should do it again."

"We should," I agreed.

We went back up to our apartment and Frank immediately stripped down to curl into bed. I changed into my pajamas and laid with him, the cold resonating off his skin.
