Someway, somehow, they managed to get into their car. Ben trembled with shaky hands as he tried to get the car started.
"Get the damn car started, Ben!!" Fred howled with a flushed gaze as he kept lurking out of the window. Fear written over his face. His veins throbbed in his neck. "What are you doing?–Get moving, now!!"
He shouted which irritated Ben.
"Gosh, Fred– Can't you see I'm trying to get this thing started? " He yelled which made him drop the key in the process. He instinctively let out an exasperated sigh with a clenched fist as he glared back at him.
"Damn it, Fred! – You got a problem with me?" He yelled. Patrick whose gaze was all along, fixed on Mya who approached with fury; shouted.
"Cut this crab and get us out of here–now!!".
Ben instinctively came to his sense, their present situation dawned back on him. He briskly hunched forward, reaching for the keys which made a rattling noise.
"Got it!" He straightened back himself on the seat and plugged in the keys. With a vroom sound, the car's engine rose and died off again. He tried again and again but had the same result. They freaked out, their faces turned pale and heart thumped faster with their pulse ramped up.
"What is it?– Why can't it start?" Patrick shouted as he simultaneously glanced at Mya and back at Ben, nervous.
" I don't know " He answered. His face bursted out in sweat and his eyes screamed out his fright. He kept slamming his hand on the wheel as he continuously turned the key with shaky hands.
"God, Damn it !" He roared. Their expression stretched into a mask of terror as she drew even more closer.
" Come on– Do something " Their voice echoed as their eyes transfixed with terror, unable to look away from Mya's direction no matter how hard they wished to. Just when she neared them, the car vroom off.
"Go! , Go, Go " Patrick and Fred blurted out.
Mya paused in her pace as she stared at their car sped off in the distance. A mischievous smile dazzled on her face. "I'll never allow for what happened to me, happen to my sister – Never! Ben." She whimpered. The wind suddenly became fierce– her body glowed with a flame like mirage and her eyes fiercely gleamed. She telekinesis ( controlled the car) with her eyes, causing it to lose control.
Ben noticed he couldn't control the car any longer as it kept balancing on and off the road. His pulse roared in his throat as his heart palpitated.
" What's happening?" He stammered. "Why can't I control this damn thing!"
"What?–What do you mean, you can't control it?" Fred stuttered, feeling trapped as sweat tricked from his forehead while Patrick swallowed dryly, unable to wet his patched throat.
"You heard me right!– It's literally out of control now" His gaze looked pale, as if it's colour had dried out. Patrick who sat next to him, instinctively reached for the wheel as he tried to bring it under control but proved impossible.
Just then, Fred noticed a car fast approaching. His eyes widened in alarm and his lips twitched. His mouth opened in a silent scream.
" Watch it!" He shouted, drawing Ben and Patrick, whose attention was still fixed on getting the wheel to work. They trembled as they struggled to divert their car but its speed rather heightened towards it by the control of Laura who had still possessed her sister.
Mya stared as the two cars rushed head on. The driver of the other car tried to avoid the approaching car but nothing seem to work out. Just when it was about to collide, Laura noticed a kid about his brother (Kelvin's) age, at the back seat, fast asleep.
The thoughts of her brother and their fun moments flashed in her mind's eye. She instinctively sobered down as tears welled down her eyes and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
The two cars halted right in front of each other. Both occupants let out a harsh breath as they leaned back with closed eyes.
Laura teleported from her sister's body and Mya fell to the ground. She stood by her as she gazed down at her unconscious body.
"I'm sorry, Mya" She cried. Her heart felt heavy and chocked up with tears.
After Ben and his friends had gathered themselves together from the sudden encounter, they hurriedly drove away without a second thought. The driver of the other car noticed Mya. He raced to her side.
"Miss?–Hey, miss.." He called but had no response. He quickly carried her to his car and Laura followed him in. After positioning her in the car, he quickly drove off.

THE ROBERTS MANSION
It was already 11pm and Mya hasn't arrived yet. Mr Robert sauntered down the stairs only to find Amy and Kelvin in the hall. Mrs Amy stood at the window as she stared out, expectantly while Kelvin laid in the sofa, fast asleep.
Mr Robert trod over to her end with a furrowed brow. "Amy?" He called and she instinctively turned to his direction.
"Oh, Roberts" She whispered. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Why are you still awake? –Any problem?"
She sighed and tilted her head. "It's Mya, dear– She's still not back and you know how she's been lately after Laura's incident " She lamented. Roberts glanced at Kelvin and back at Amy with darting eyes and a brooding gaze.
"And have you tried her line?" He asked.
"Yes but she didn't pick up" She replied. Just then, Kelvin's phone rang and their attention instinctively drifted to it. Kelvin drowsily reached out for it and answered.
"Hello, who is this?" He queried.
"Is this the Roberts Mansion?" the voice asked.
"Yes, Kelvin Roberts on the line – how may I help you?"
"I'm Bel, calling from D'Rose hospital " She answered and Kelvin instinctively sat upright. With a high pitched tone, he eluded.
"Yes!–Any problem? Why are you calling? Is it about Mya?"
Amy and Roberts swiftly trod to his end, tensed, on hearing her name.
"Mya?–What happened to my daughter " Amy exclaimed but Roberts tapped her to keep calm.
"Alright–Thank you. We'll be right there" Kelvin answered and hanged up.
"What happened to your sister?–What did they say?" Amy swiftly queried.
"I don't know, mum. They just said she was rushed in by someone " He explained with a creased brow.
"Let's go" Roberts exclaimed as he reached for his car keys from the table. With Amy taking the lead, they sped out of the house.
HOSPITAL
Laura dropped the phone back on the telephone on the wall and trod back to her sister's side. She gazed down at her and sighed. She slowly tucked an hair on Mya's face back to her ear and gave a faint smile.
"I've called Kelvin and I'm sure they'll be here in no time" She eluded.
**********
Rubin still laid in bed with a furrowed brow and a brooding gaze. He still couldn't figure out where Laura had left to. He kept tossing and turning in bed.
"Gosh, this is driving me crazy" He cried as he sat up. "I've absolutely searched everywhere for her but no sigh at all–Where could she be?"
Just then, his thoughts stroked in. " Why been so grouse with this?– If she cared about your emotions, she wouldn't have left without a word." He mumbled in his thoughts. "It's not like she's human or got emotions – She's just a ghost who cares nothing at all about anyone but herself and what she likes."
A sense of anger lingered in his eyes. He instinctively drifted back to bed, pulling the blanket over himself.
