lips just a little as tease, “but what are you doing here?” I question popped up out of my mouth,

“I wanted to see how you were doing. Yesterday you looked really sick.”

“Well, I’m still hanging on. However, I’m not feeling any good or better.”

“I can see that. Do we need to take you to the hospital?”

“I don’t think the hospital can do anything about my situation. You have to remember I’m not sick, this is the process of growing up. Rebecca said I have to suffer through.”

“You know sometimes I don’t know trust that girl or woman. I don’t even know how to call her.”

I smiled seeing how uncomfortable it made her talking about Rebecca, “hey, don’t worry about her, I don’t like her most of the time either. But, I know she is a good person, she is just bitter most of the time.”

I took her hand and held it, “she may see you as a distraction to me and just a weak creature but what she thinks of you doesn’t matter. The only thing that matter is what I think of you. You are very important to me, Alex, remember that. And don’t worry I’ll be okay in a couple days.”

“Are you sure? Because from the looks of it you look worse than yesterday.” She looked concerned and caressed my cheek softly with a worried expression on her face.

“Are you forgetting that I’m the guy who can heal himself?”

“No, I haven’t. It just doesn’t seem like it’s working this time.”

“It takes a while. Just stop worrying so much I will be okay, I can assure you.”

“Fine, if you say so. I need to go home, we have a family meeting and dad won’t be happy if I will be late. See you tomorrow.” She got up and helped me to get up as well.

“Yes, see you tomorrow at school.” I moved in closer and kissed her then hugged her.

I watched her heading downtown to the edge of town to her home. After she was too far to see her I went back inside.

School was boring now especially after I knew I wasn’t going to use it anywhere. As matter of fact I didn’t even belong in this place. That thought made me sad, it was impossible to ignore it and even harder to accept it. But then again, when I looked at myself in the mirror and how I’ve changed over the couple months I knew there was no walking away from it.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? You seem distant today.” Alex said after getting her lunch plate as well. She sat next to me and stared at me, “what is it?”

“Is any of this real? Alex, why am I here? And why me? I never asked for any of this.”

“Hey, none of us choose who we are.” She took my hands and held them on her lap, “look I know everything is confusing right now, but hang in there. I know you are strong, you can do this.”

“What if I don’t want to? I mean who made me the savior? All I ever wanted was a normal life without people hating me for something I never did.”

“I know it seems unfair, but it is your responsibility now. You didn’t choose any of this but it is who you are. It is up to you to decide what you will do about it.”

“But, what if I fail and everyone die?”

“No you won’t. First because I love you. And second because I know you are stronger than you think.”

“Say that again.” I told her,

“You are stronger than you think.”

“No, the first part,”

“I love you.” She said with a blush,

“Mhhr!” I took a deep breathe,

“What?” she asked with a chuckle,

“It’s nice to hear you say that,” I cupped her cheeks with my hands then pulled her close and kissed her deeply and a moan reverberated down her throat, “I love you more.” I told her afterwards with a big smile on my face.

“Hi,” someone interrupted my moment and I wondered who that would be, “I was given this note to give it to you.” It was a shy girl I’d seen her in one of our classes. I wondered why a person would send me a note. At first my instinct told me it was Rebecca, but I couldn’t understand why she would send me a note. I took the note and unfolded it cautiously, “thanks,” I told the girl and she walked away.

“Come to the parking lot now.” It said, no name, no sign.

“What’s it say?” Alex asked eagerly.

I showed it to her and she read it but, said nothing. I changed my mind and I thought it was Bratt playing with my mind. Or maybe it was a prank and he wanted to embarrass me in front of the whole school. The problem was, I was different now and I didn’t want to get exposed in front of everyone.

“Are you going?” Alex asked and I didn’t have the answer, “You know, you are not alone. I’m going with you.”

I took a deep breath and we went to face whatever that was waiting for me at the parking lot even though I wasn’t really excited to find out what it was.

 

 

CHAPTER 54;

 

When we got to the parking lot there was nothing there. And no one looked suspicious, it was almost like a prank that didn’t make sense. Until Rebecca came popped out behind one of the cars limping and was bleeding from her right hand and holding it with her left. Out of instinct I rushed to her,

“What happened?” I asked in panic,

“I was attacked.” She said out of breath, “What took you so long anyway?”

“I don’t trust many people here, so I thought it was a trick or a trap.” I held her bleeding arm, “does it hurt?” I didn’t know what to say,

“What do you think?” she asked irritated,

“Okay,” I kept holding her hand and tried to heal it, I knew I wasn’t feeling very well but I also knew I was stronger than before so I could do it.

“What are you doing?” she asked and tried to free her hand.

“Don’t move.” I commanded,

“He is healing you.” Alex explained,

Rebecca’s mouth hang open and she was speechless for a second then she closed it without saying anything. My healing ability improved over the time so it wasn’t that hard to heal her. Her arm was broken and had a bad cut near the shoulder.

I saw her relax as I was healing her and her expression was full of confused feelings and I didn’t take me long to heal her completely and then kept standing there staring at me. Then all over sudden she started talking like a teenage girl,

“It really is you. I had no idea. It all make sense now, I get it finally.” She had the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen her smile before and now all over sudden, she was acting really weird. So unlike her.

I looked at Alex and she looked at me with the same confusion.

“What are you talking about?” I asked and now it was my time to be irritated,

“I can’t believe it.” Then she laughed hysterically which almost made me hide in my skin, it was weird hearing her laugh.

“Do we need to take you to the hospital?” I asked,

“No, I’m fine. I finally found you.” She said and cupped my face with her hands. I looked at Alex out of insecurity and she wasn’t very happy about it either.

“If you don’t mind. Would you not hold him like that? He is my boyfriend.” Her words were lethal, no kidding expression on her face.

“Sorry.” Rebecca said and composed herself finally.

“Would you like to explain what that was all about?” I asked again.

“Steven, you are the healer. Now I know why they kept you alive for all this time.”

“Explain. I’m still lost.”

“Just know that you are a very special person to our kind.”

“Of course. I am a prince or something like that, you told me yourself.”

“No, you are so much more than that. Steven, you have the ability to change a person’s life.”

That was the second time she said my name in a short time, not used to it, “I’m still lost.”

“You’ll understand in time.” She said shortly,

“First, tell us what attacked you.” Alex said interrupting Rebecca’s excitement.

“Yah, what attacked you?” I added,

“I was attacked with two infected people.”

“What do you mean infected people?”

“I mean people who are mind controlled with parasites.”

“The possessed people are infected, is that what you mean?” I said,

“There is no such thing as possessed. There is this parasite from our planets which are genetically engineered to control a person’s mind.” Rebecca explained and both Alex and I were left mouth open.

“Come with me. Since you are the healer, I know you can heal them.”

As usual she zapped us both to her apartment which wasn’t really that far from home. Actually, it was three blocks from my house on the other side of the road, so she could clearly see it. I couldn’t believe she had been spying on me this entire time.

“Have you been spying on me?” I asked angrily right at the door.

“No, I’ve been watching over you.” She said it like it was supposed to be obvious, “come on, we will discuss this later. Let’s help these people before they wake up because they are always stubborn.”

We got in her apartment but there wasn’t really anything in it. The living room had one awkward chair, a table and a flat screen by the wall. Then I was surprised to see a whole bunch of pictures of me on the table.

“Why do you have all these pictures of me?”

“Like I said, watching over you.” She said shortly without even touching them, “come they are over here.”

She directed us to a room which was supposed to be a guest room. Inside the room there was two guys tied up on a wooden chair each and their backs were bound together. So, there were facing different direction from each other. They looked unconscious and they were infected as Rebecca said because I could feel their energy scattered all over the place.

“Should we wake them up?” Alex asked, “so that we can ask who sent them.”

“No need, I already know who sent them, just get the parasite out.” Rebecca ordered.

Before I would’ve said she was nuts but now I knew better. I stood up straight and closed my eyes then I focused on the energy that was emitted by the parasites so that I could pull them out. I’d never pull two at the same time so it was kind of new experience, it was also much more intense this time. But then again I had no complete confidence and it was because of the pull, I mean my fluctuating health and powers.

However, I finally did it. I had no idea how long it took but I knew it was a while. It didn’t matter though I was exhausted and the screams left me disoriented a little. I got on my knees because standing was a challenge, also to catch my breath,

“Are you okay?” Alex came rushing to me and bend down with me.

“Yah, but I’m super tired, like I
