I Always Need You [Michael]

[gabriella]

It was the anniversary of her parents death. She might have been very young when it happened, but the date was etched on her mind forever. She would never forget the day she accidentally killed her parents. She would never forget the day she became a villain. Walking along the streets of Odessa in Texas, the picture kept going through her mind. The same thing, over and over again. All she could see were the flames, and the petrified look of her mother and father.

She began to shake uncontrollably, she could feel the heat building within her, she knew she was about to burst into flame. She had to stop the pictures running through her mind. Only one person had the ability to do it, and he wasn't with her at this very moment. She wondered where he was. She needed him right now.

Finding a secluded barn, she went in, and sat down on the hay, and started rocking herself backward and forwards. The same picture running through her head. Constantly, she couldn't get rid of it. Hands shaking, she fumbled for her cell phone, and tried to send a text to Michael, but her fingers weren't working, and they were very hot.

She dialled his number instead and it went to voice mail. She sighed and began to cry a little, only because she was worried about what was going to happen if Michael didn't come and calm her down.

"Michael, it's me" she began, "Help, Odessa, Texas, I need your help" she managed to say before closing the cell over, and continued to rock backwards and forwards, the heat constantly building within her, the hay she was sitting beginning to smoke around her.

Michael was in the field, working on the new fence, which was going to box off the land from public. As he was working hard, hoping to finish it today.

As he was doing this, his cell rang. Just before it was on its last ring, he tried to dig it out of his pocket, but he was too late. When it was out, he opened it and just then he received a voice-mail.

From what he could hear, it was Gabriella. She needed him, and he knew exactly why. As he heard her voice, she seemed terrified, and scared. Right away he dropped his phone, and quickly got into his truck, which was just only a few feet away from his working spot. He started the truck, and just pushed the pedal to the floor, knowing what could happen to her if things got further.

The one thing he really knew about Gabriella, was this. She goes through it every year, which made her scared. And although he loved her very much, this was the one thing he also regretted. But it was a regret he had to deal with, as he loved her, as his baby girl.

[gabriella]

Gabriel was about to explode into fire all around her, she could feel it, what was keeping Michael she wondered. Usually when this happened, he was there by her side virtually instantly, why was he taking so long. Continuing to rock herself back and forth. She continued to shake uncontrollably as the tears started to fall down her face.

"Where are you Michael" she whispered, as she continued to try and contain herself, but it was no use, the visions of her parents dying kept coming into her mind, and each time they stayed longer, and the longer they stayed, the more intense her power became.

Finally Gabriella combusted into flames, not just her hands, like it usually is when she had it under control, but her whole body was alight, and the hay around her caught fire instantly. Within seconds she was enveloped in flames. She began to scream hysterically.

"Michael....Michael....help me please, somebody?!" she screamed louder and louder, trying to fight her way out of the barn, but it was no use, the flames and heat were everywhere. She started to lose consciousness and began coughing, as she fell to the barn floor, she just had to hope that Michael would find her soon.

[impossible]

Michael Was getting closer, he was now almost in front of their driveway. As he neared it, he just turned with out even pushing on the break. As he was in a hurry, to save his baby.

Once he got to the burning barn, he jumped out of his truck. And got closer to the barn desperate to find an entrance. He couldn't find one at all, which was a major problem. He thought of the only way to get in...which was transforming...

As he sat there for a split second he thought of the right animal to do it with. So he transformed into an elephant. He was then able to smash an entry in, with his long tusks.

Once Michael got in, he turned back into a human and started to search for her as quickly as possible, while coughing. It only took him four seconds to find her laying on the ground. He could do only one thing to get her out and that was to lift her.

He as quickly went onto one knew, and picked her up with is arms behind her back. As she was completely off the ground, he started to run toward the exit that was made.

[gabriella]

Gabriella felt as if she had been in the burning barn for ages while waiting on Michael to come and rescue her. By the time he had got to her, she was pretty much out of it. She didn't even hear the crashing noise as Michael smashed his way into the barn in an animal form, and she didn't even feel him picking her up.

It wasn't until he had taken her outside of the burning barn and she was getting fresh air into her lungs, she realised she wasn't in the barn anymore. With the fresh air blowing in her face, she started to come back round to consciousness. She tried to speak, but her throat was sore and dry. She coughed a couple of times, feeling very safe in his arms.

"Michael" she croaked, and coughed a couple of times again, "Michael.." she croaked once more and began sobbing hysterically. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" she said feeling terrible about what happened.

[impossible]

When he got out of the burning barn, he was only burned on his arms, and a bit on his face. Michael walked a few feet away from the barn to lay her onto the soft grass.

Just as it happened, she began to cough, and attempted to say his name. And also apologized for the situation that just happened. Michael looked at her face, and began to talk to her. "Gabriella, baby?" He was concerned to have her like this, very. "Its fine, its not your fault that this happened baby" He showed a lot of concern in his face.

When she was breathing a bit more smoother, he picked her up, and started to cradle her, hoping to help her calm down. And think of another thought that would bring calmness to her heart again.

[gabriella]

He sat her down on the soft grass, and she began taking in deep breaths, to get fresh air back into her lungs. She hated when her powers took over her and went into full control. It was horrible. She had to cough another few times. She needed a drink, she needed some water, anything to stop her throat from being so dry.

She was also still sobbing from the stress of it all, and she was perspiring, her hair was plastered to her face, she was pretty much a mess, and yet she knew Michael would still think she was gorgeous, because she was his. She tried to speak to him again, but he spoke first.

She smiled weakly through her tears when he called her name and called her baby, he always called her that, and she loved him for it. She was quite simply lost without him.

"But it was me who caused it" she tried to speak, through her tears and coughing, "My stupid power caused this" he was doing his best to console her, but right now it wasn't happening very well. All she could see what a burning barn and that she was the cause of it.

Then she noticed his arms and immediately felt bad. "Michael... your arms?" and then looked up and saw his face, she lifted her hand up to his face and placed it there, "Your face, I'm so sorry" she sobbed again.

Next thing she knew Michael had picked her up off the grass and began cradling her. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. Snuggling her face into his neck, and tried to stop her sobbing. It usually didn't take long, Michael had a very calming influence on her, within a couple of minutes her sobs started to subside, as did the heat within her.

[impossible]

Michael slowly cradled his baby in his arms. To help her calm down, and also give her some love. As he deemed it necessary at the moment. He allowed her to come closer, and he hugged her as she done so, allowing her face to be layed down against his chest.

As he done this, he then picked her up, and then walked towards there house, that was still intact, so she can drink something to clear her throat.

[gabriella]

Gabriella kept herself close to Michael, as he pulled her into a close hug. He didn't say anything to her, he didn't respond to anything she said, not that it worried or upset her, she knew that he didn't blame her for what had happened, and that's why he was ignoring her. So, instead of making things worse for herself by continuing to talk, she stayed quiet while he continued to soothe her.

After some time she felt Michael picking her up and walking, when she opened her eyes, she noticed they were heading toward their house. She would finally be able to get a drink and hopefully get back to some mischief. She hated this time of year. She hated this date, the sooner this day was over with the better for them both.

[impossible]

Michael walked to the sink and gave her a cup, of room temp water. Hoping it would quench her throat, and get rid of the smoke in it. After giving her the cup, he layed her down, on the sofa. That is sitting next to the counter.

After laying her down, he went and left the kitchen to grab him self a chair to sit on, to watch his baby come back to health again. It only took a few seconds to grab one and sit down. Michael just looked at her lovely birth suit, as it just amazed him.

"Are you able to breathe well baby?" Michael asked her with a lot of concern. And still watching her, as she finished her drink of water.

[gabriella]

Gabriella loved Michael so much, she loved the way he took care of her. He always took care of her, and she would always need him in her life. She needed him to know that, and she'd tell him soon enough. He had laid her down on their sofa and got her a drink.

She took the drink slowly, and let it quench her thirst and ease her throat. The drink in itself was already making her feel better, but seeing Michael bring a seat in and sit beside her to watch her, made her feel even better. She smiled at him.

She nodded her head when he asked if she could breathe properly, "I'm feeling much better now" she said, sitting up on the sofa and patting the seat beside her for him to join her, hoping he would, so she could just sit and snuggle into him for a while.

[impossible]

After getting her the drink, and allowing her to replenish her lovely body. He moved in to cuddle with his baby, Gabriella. And allowed her to slowly move into his lap, so that he can comfort her on this cough and allow her to relax some more.

[gabriella]

When Michael sat beside her, and allowed her to cuddle up to him, she felt instantly better. Her skin was back to normal, and she was breathing better. All she had was her dry throat still, but the water was helping that.

She allowed herself to curl up into his lap, while he continued to cuddle and soothe her. After about fifteen minutes of cuddling into Michael, Gabriella felt much better. However, the pain of the day was still haunting her. To help stop herself from thinking about it she decided to ask him to take her somewhere.

"Michael" she began softly, "Could we go to the cinema or something? I just need to get away from here, need to keep my mind on other things, please?" she asked him, almost pleading him, hoping he'd agree.

[impossible]

Michael looked at Garbiella, when she spoke. "Are you sure baby? " Saying it with a lot of concern in his voice, wanting to make sure she is ready to move and actually walk about.

[gabriella]

She wasn't too sure about going out, but she felt better, and sitting around in the house, even with Michael there comforting her and keeping her calm enough, she couldn't keep the thoughts out of her head.

Going out she felt was the only thing possible for her. The only thing to take her mind off of everything. She looked up at him, eyes opened wide, staring into his own with much love and admiration for him.

"Yes, I'm sure" she replied, "I've never been more sure, I seriously need to get out of the house and do something, anything to keep my mind from thinking about that day" she continued.

She knew he was asking if she was sure because he cared about her so much and it really was rather touching, but she would burn up again if she didn't get her mind onto something else.
