Who: Gabby and Noah
What: First time Gabby's power manifested
When: July 20th, 2024; a Saturday night during the summer into her sophomore year of HS
Where: Frye Island; Noah's neighborhood/babysitting at the Masons'
'We'll be back in a few hours!' The Masons were a nice couple that Gabby had been babysitting for, for a few years now. Their kids had just gotten out of school and they needed a babysitter almost all of the time while the two of them were at work now but tonight was different. The couple had just wanted to have a night to themselves to go out for a few hours for a nice dinner and a walk on the beach. It was only a few hours but they had asked Gabby to come over around dinner time, feed the kids, bathe them and then put them to bed.
It didn't seem like anything she couldn't handle. But then she got there and the kids were hopped up on pixie stix and she wanted to shoot herself in the foot. Gabby had never baby sat for them during the summer, on a Saturday night but apparently it was their special treat. They were bouncing off the walls when she got there and they were running her ragged.
Gabby sighed as she ran after the two year old. He was about to take a trip down the stairs just for the fun of it, because he wanted a toy that was in the living room instead of the ones that were already in the bathtub. "Petey, NO," Gabby's eyes grew wide and she locked eyes with the two year old. She could tell that he was making a game out of it, daring her to come after him. "Petey, come here. No, no, no!" She tried to not make any sudden movements as he put one little foot forward and inched in slowly down the stairs.
The little boy looked back at the stairs and Gabby moved closer. 'Holy shit, he's gonna do it. He's gonna fall and get hurt and I'm gonna be in so much trouble,' Gabby thought to herself as she inched closer. As she made her way down the hallway, she felt her hands start tingling but ignored it, shaking her hands to get rid of it. Petey lowered one foot on the step and immediately disappeared down the stairs. "NO," Gabby yelled, electricity shooting from her hands and flying into the nearest plug in the wall. The lights in the whole house grew as white as snow and glowed for a few seconds before everything shut off.
Immediately, the first thing Gabby heard were two little kids crying and her own shreak. 'What the fuck is happening??' She ran to grab the baby off the stairs, having only tumbled down three steps before he grabbed onto the railing, and then ran to Becca who was still playing in the living room with her dolls.
