Life is a big dilemma [Mia]

[philipgray]

The pouring rain had soaked his face and clothes, but his figure tall and thin stood erect to look at the empty, rain hid the burning tears streaming down his attractive face but marked by weakness and fear. He gave up his back on the large brick wall in the dark alley , breathing heavily and desperate . What was become? How was happened?!
Why someone was punishing in that way?!
Philip closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth in a grimace of anger, he was sick probably flue but he didn't care.

That morning he managed to break out the windows of a building and was certain that was happened because of the migraine that was tormenting him since days ! People had died in that accident! He was sure that was his fault! It was not a coincidence, could not be!
He had been watching the firemen and ambulances carrying away the dead bodies from the building but the memory of a woman weeping over the body of his son hit by a stray shard of glass came back to mind like a dagger to the heart. He was a murder! A coward! He had not even had the courage to say to that woman that was his fault if her son was dead!
"DAMN!" Wailed walking away from the alley and reaching the bridge, the long and dark coat fluttered behind him completely soaked like the rest of his suits.

It was happened on other occasions, to split things even without touching them ..!
It all began after the bloody incident in the lab! Philip had come to the conclusion that something was changed in him that day and in a genetic way or whatever!
The drops of water running down his face and clouded his sight but not enough to prevent him from reaching the railing of the bridge that overlooked the river. The bleak landscape in turmoil and anguish for the unstoppable storm didn't frighten him, nor the lightning that break the sky in a deafening and violent way. Philip did not want to die in a decent way, not as a human, he was no longer human!

The man looked down and his face was torn by a grimace of awareness to be ready to climb down the river and let himself fall. His fingers were still tight on the rail when another thunder ripped through the night.

Mia had gone into town to buy the latest book on organic chemistry and human anatomy that she must study for the test which had the next week.
It was raining too hard and she had not taken any umbrella. Now the books tight in the chest and ran as fast as her legs could to get to the bus that would take her to college. She lived there in a student house, alone in a room, because for her to live with another person or relationship was too difficult, as it had been and it was while she went to class. Mia is sitting in the back seat of each class and heard in her head over a hundred thoughts a second. She left the class because she could not stand it ... sometimes she could not control her powers and was afraid to hurt people. This was one reason why she did not relate to anyone.

Mia thought when she got to her room would be given a hot bath, and would ask for a chinesse meal all night studying chemistry. A wonderful night. Now, she soaked to the bones came to the bridge area where she always took the bus. Her eyes twinkled when she saw the figure of a man on the bridge and with intent and was to end his life. He was wet and she, with a desperate gesture in the face and fingers tight on the metal rail.
She did not know how to act or what to do. Call the police and say that a man who's crazy attempts to shed the bridge?. Mia wanted to stop him, opened her mind perceiving from him was a mess. She felt a great burden of guilt and despair. She dropped the books and went to his side gently but without climbing over the rail of the bridge. Her lips did not move, she talked with the mind.

"Mister ....". She contacted a soft voice. "Why did you kill yourself?". She looked at him, a man who could be her father, and attractive male face, but now bathed in the water. She blinked several times, the water got into her eyes and was hard to focus on it. "Do not, if you do, you'll get .... .... Mr. Gray?. You will not get anything."

He would wonder how she knew his name. Just gently on the ground leaving the books that had cost so much moneywith her hand touched his leg, taking care not to frighten him.

"I am a mutant, Mr. Gray. A mutant like you." She had not ventured to see beyond the mind of one desperate man.

[philipgray]

Philip looked at the stormed water below him, he only hoped to die soon and drown. Narrowed his eyes because of the heavy rain that was blinding him but it wasn't very important to be able to see or not ... it would all end soon. That hell was going to end...

Closer he came to the decision to let go more the storm seemed to lash out with more strength but Philip did not realize was happening for his instable and uncontrolled powers.
Despite the deafening noise of thunder could hear the sound of footsteps treading the puddles, turned and saw the face of a young woman come trying to rescue him. Philip saw the compassion and the fear in her pure eyes, was beautiful but was only a girl compared to the years that weighed on his shoulders. "Go on girl! Is dangerous! Stay away .... please! I'm dangerous for you, for anyone! Go ..!"

The storm was deafening and the water made the ground slippery and crumbling beneath them, looking at the gap below him heard the girl talking and shook his head "Yes instead ! Will prevent myself from hurting innocent people! .. . I ... I can not do it, I can not! you have any idea what the hell am I living? My life is gone ...I'm no longer myself! Let me go girl, you can not understand me , you can't do nothing!"

Philip had not noticed that all the time she had spoken with him without even moving her mouth, felt the touch of her small hand on his leg and turned . Her delicate lips did not move but he heard her speak, Philip was speechless and scared that everything was his fault again. He gasped, looking desperate and in pain, his face lined by heavy rain, "How do you speak? How is that possible?" Frowning, not understanding "A mutant ?..." Philip did not know the meaning of that word, but before he could speak a thunderbolt fell just a few yards away, the stone under Philip's feet shattered.

Fell down but without even a cry disappearing into the darkness under the bridge falling into the water violently losing senses, his suffering was over.

[mia]

She was frightened when he looked at her and shouted those words to go away from there He seemed mad and decided to jump off that bridge. Mia did not, but neither replied to him. She said nothing of her lips, but spoke her mind. "I know it's you, you're like me!. You do not control your powers, you should look for a control, it helps, I can help !!!". She cried softly touching his leg. He seemed not to believe what he was seeing, she was speaking without moving her lips, she was speaking her mind. "I am telepathic, I can read and control minds of people." Rain to that she could not look clear, the rain got into his eyes without stopping. "I am like you. A mutant. You are a mutant Mr. Gray. Have no control over yourself!"


But that lightning struck and he fell into the river and disappeared. Mia screamed scared, dropping down the books. "Bloody Hell!". She took off the raincoat and jacket. Do not hesitate to jump into the river to save him. When she reached the water could visualize him and trying to stay afloat. Mia swam as fast as she could to reach his side. She slipped her arm around his neck so he would not sink. "Quiet! Quiet !!!!". She screamed as he swam and seized him. She wanted to bring it to shore. "Relax! I'm taking you to shore!". She swam back and closed his body against hers for him to feel her touch. "Do not swallow water!, Calm down!

[philipgray]

During the fall Philip could only hear the sound of a cry to overlap with the thunder and rain but the impact on the water stunned him and momentarily lost consciousness. He could finally put an end to that nightmare ...

The water engulfed his body slamming him left and right, his back hit numerous times over the boulders sides of the river, choking with grief. He was sinking more and more as the water drew him down but was too weak to fight. Philip felt to be dying ...

He opened his eyes realizing that an arm had been tightly held around his chest and was pushing him back to the surface, soon the rain came again to bathe his face. He coughed and breathed with difficulty, but heard again the voice of the girl. Had jumped to save him??! Why?! He was a murder, was no longer a man as she thought! He deserved to die like that!
He was too weak to move and felt the grip of his back on her little and soft body drag him to shore. When Philip fell heavily with the wide back on the moist soil left his head hit it in a wail of pain.
The rain prevented him from opening his eyes and see, a few strands of his brown hair streaked with gray ones was fell on his paler face.
"Why?! You could kill yourself doing that! You had to let me go! You do not understand ...!" a sharp cry of pain broke his deep but weak voice.

His hand clutched instinctively on his hip feeling his fingers wet in a hot liquid.
Something had hurt him, his hip and chest was violently bleeding. "Girl, you have to go ... it's better that way," Philip felt that was missing few from lose his senses for the loss of blood.

[mia]

Mia dragged the body of the man who wanted the death by water, swam to shore without rest, feeling his body pleasant and strong stuck to her gently. She heard as coughing and breathing hard, she could only calm him talking ... communicating through his mind. 'We are approaching the shore, calm, relax please'. When they reached the shore, she could not bear the weight of the body to be much larger and stronger.

She fell at his side, knees, gasping for breath, the rain was so upset that prevented her eyes open. Mia looked at the man ... a mature man who was scared, desperate for what he did. A small glimpse into her mind, she only saw windows ... "You are a coward if removing life you're going to fix what you did!. What's wrong? ... Oh, my God !!!". She saw the blood out of his belly and chest, across his shirt changed color, bright red. "You are hurt!. In the fall because you have to hit with something". She was hysterical, she must save him, could not leave him bleeding there. "I think you and I are going for a walk!. You have dizziness of heights?". Asked before encircle his body with her arms. She rose to ten meters after having created a gravitational field around them both. "Do not move and make pressure to the wound with your hand, go to a hospital." Field that would weigh the both of them protected from the rain, Mia before leaving there flying at a speed, hugged the man tightly.

[philipgray]

Philip had trouble breathing and felt increasingly weak, his fingers stained of blood was trying to push the gushing wound but she knew that his hour had come, and had no regrets. He left the head fall back on the moist soil was too weak but opened his eyes on the beautiful young girl's face next to him, Philip looked at her with kindness "I'm sorry you should see this girl. I never disappoint a woman in this way. .. " joked and groaned in pain.

Philip had killed hundreds of people and wanted to repay the damage by his own hand, now that girl was trying to save him and repeated to be like him. It could not be, when he looked at her didn't see a monster, but only a beautiful woman but young ... too young for him. The mature face of Philip tried to sound calm, did not want to scare her but felt that he was near death.

Smiled weakly, hurt in the pride by her words, but he deserved it "Maybe I'm a coward, but instead you are terribly brave ... it's a bit silly risk your life to save a coward man falling from a bridge, do not you think?" a kind but weak smile appeared on his lips , his brown eyes looking at her "Do not waste your time behind a crazy old man my child , go ..." weakly ordered closing his eyes too tired to continue.

Philip closed his eyes fainting without realizing it, had lost too much blood and could not see what happened. His hand slipped off the bloody wound at her side, heard only the close of her arms about him and her voice became a weaker echo.

[mia]

Mia was able to reach the hospital in time so they could meet the man who had been thrown from the bridge and had a stone stuck in the side that he had an intense bleeding. With the rain no one could see Mia descend the body of the man from above.
The nurses had come to her aid after she screamed with all her strength could not withstand the weight of the human body. He was big and strong, and Mia, small constitution. She finished very weak on the ground after having used the powers to the limit to save, to take him to hospital before he bleed to death.

She watched as the nurses took the man and put him on a stretcher to be brought into the hospital running. Two nurses helped Mia, clothed with a dry blanket to her and sat in a wheelchair. She shivered with cold, still looking like drag those nurses to carry stretchers inside the OR.

Mia was treated, she had no bruising, no injury, just lay next to that bed, the man lay sleeping after having undergone emergency surgery. He was too weak and needed rest.
Mia did not understand because she wanted to be there, she never had relations with a man alone with her father and he had been a bastard who had abused her. Now, Mia did not leave his bed, slept soundly, had dropped her head on his shoulder, curled on the couch, wrapped up in that blanket that was bigger than her.

[philipgray]

Philip had no inkling or consciousness of what was happening around him, just of the life slip away from fingers and did not have the strength and will to fight to continue. He had become something horrible, not human. That incident in the laboratory was the only event to which reconnected everything but was never able to explain how it was such a thing could occur. Then this young woman ... who had had done everything to convince him not to end his life and had tried to help him, had called him mutant but for Philip was only a word without meaning. Actually like his life .
In his sleep he thought to hear the soft and gentle voice of this girl and wishing that she ad saved herself at least...

Philip opened his eyes slightly but the sight was too hazy and was forced to close the eyes with effort, his face twitched in a grimace of pain and freed a slight groan brushing his hip but the scratched fingers felt a different feel on the skin , was bandaged. Someone had medicated him?
Philip slowly drew mild and regular breaths calming down, trying to endure the hellish pain in the chest and hips, his senses more acute allowed him to recognize the smell of the hospital but there was another smell, sweeter, more pleasant ...
His body tried to move in the bed where he was lying but he felt too weak, turned his head encountering a pile of soft perfumed hair that touched his cheek.

Philip warm breath exhaled the scent and reopened his eyes slowly waking up at all. Hazel eyes of the man fell on his shoulder on the fell asleep and tired face of the girl , Philip showed a face of regret and sadness, she had almost died in that river to take him to hospital? Philip sighed ...

His hand big and strong rose silently up to her little face, with care his fingers touched the soft skin of her cheek but did not want to wake her and let her continue to sleep on his shoulder gently dropping his chin on her tiny head. He owed her his life, was in debt with that little girl...

[mia]

She had been sleeping for hours at hiss side, she had calmed down after the doctors had informed her that he was out of danger and he would recover but he was very weak. After that the doctors did to her many questions about who she was ; his sister? His girlfriend?, Her lover? His wife?. She said his friend. She insisted, she could be in the same room with him because she needed to rest and she hurt all over after being brought to shore and have used her powers too. But now she lay beside him, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, she had dropped her head to his side and slept and slept all night without realizing that he had awakened.

She only woke when she felt the delicate touch on the cheek. She opened her large eyes, a chill ran through him when he felt the delicate touch on the cheek. He had dropped his chin on his head in a gesture of protection. Mia could neither speak, she would lose control of her mind and read his own thoughts, this always happened. She put a hand on his strong chest and pushed gently. Her blue eyes looked at his. The silence was deafening. "Mister, how are you?. You are alive by a miracle. The doctor says you're going to recover but his recovery will be slow. Do you have any family whom I can call?". Asked some weakness watching with some concern his wounds.

[philipgray]

He remained silent leaving her sleep, during those hours Philip spent the time thinking and beyond the shame of having behaved like a fool in front of that young woman was still in doubt about what that word meant , mutant.

Philip felt too tired and too depressed to fantasize about "how and when" but the girl had risked a lot for him and could not be indifferent to this. As he heard her breath smelled the sweet scent of her hair, was so small in his arms and young ... very young.

Philip raised his chin from her head when realized that she had woken up and turned the gaze of his hazel eyes to hers, Philip smiled politely releasing the protective hold over her slightly embarrassed but did not lose his composure"I feel better Miss . No, do not worry I'll be fine young lady I have abused too much of your time and of your life, I am really mortified by what happened "looked away to hide the shame in his eyes" If I was not for you ... . I did not know what to do, it seemed the right choice. Obviously I'm just a crazy old man ... "laughed weakly.

[mia]

Mia blushed when looking completely man who had come out of unconsciousness. It was the first time in her life where she had been fine with another person, and if she dared to say, protected. She smiled slightly as she slid her hand from his chest that was nice touch. Mia without looking over his body covered with sheet they fell because their eyes fixed on him. She did not want him realized as she was looking though her cheeks blushed.

"No. I've had to do, sir. I would not let let die that way, just to have discovered ... your power." She whispered those words sit back next to him. "No one deserves to die, despite what you did in the past. It does not matter to me is an act of cowardice. All mutants in our beginning of our power suffer because we can not control it. But it seems that you are a different case. you've discovered your power now. your mutant genes have been asleep until they have awakened. you do not have to blame for what happened, sir"-[/b]Mia wanted to convince him that she wanted to cheer but rather difficult to stand out.

Mia looked down after what she had told him. "I do not see a crazy old man, maybe a little crazy, but not old. No. I'm Mia Ravenwood. Student seniors biogenetic chemistry at Columbia University." Mia's smile was more radiant when she offered her hand to him firmly. She did not fail to observe him, he did not look American, but he had the appearance of a respectable man English.

[philipgray]

Philip showed her a warm and friendly smile managing to hide the embarrassment before her eyes but such a beautiful woman but certainly did not look like him, an elderly man. He was ashamed of himself to have just dared to think about a thing like that, he had never taken advantage of a woman in his life behaving like a gentleman and he owed his life to that young woman, feeling utterly useless in not finding a way to repay her for everything she had done for him not even knowing who he was.

"My power?" repeated the professor, raising both eyebrows in utter dismay but then let out a kind laugh "Believe me, Miss I do not really know what these mutants are , I'm just a chemistry professor and although you seem motivated to want to convince me of this I think that theory is you have only a man who is going crazy and seeing things that do not exist, believe me. Oh dear, I really hope not to do so even now ... you're real, right? " For a moment Philip was overwhelmed with fear and unconsciously his long and thin fingers grazed her little warm hand.

His hazel eyes rose to hers with a kind and amused smile "If I'm crazy and this is what I will see for the rest of my life ... then will be just fine for me." Laughing gently.

The professor nodded, "I am Professor Philip Gray and I owe you my life Miss Ravenwood" elegantly bringing her hand to his lips gently kissing the soft skin of her hand in a respectful way "So I feel obliged to invite you to dinner soon out of here, is not much to repay what you did for me but I really hope to hear you accept ... if you won't bored to spend some time with an old professor Miss Ravenwood "
