we’ll figure it out. But I’m sure of one thing, we need to keep training until you get the best you can be. Or maybe in case we get attacked with one of those creatures we saw the other day. We will be ready.”

“Okay, that sounds like a plan. Hey, have your family found anything out of the ordinary on their hunts? Something alien like?”

“Not something related to you or your planet. Just some other weird creatures and other evil stuffs. We had no idea this part of the country had so much unusual things going on.”

“They’ve seen things we never saw before and there aren’t any records of them in the library.” She said, “Some things we can’t even decide what they are really!”

“Yah, right.”

“They are not very sure yet anyway. But if we find more stuff or if we identify those things I will tell you.”

Then, the conversation ended and we stayed there for a while without speaking. First, because I didn’t really feel like discussing about my life anymore. And somehow Alex understood when I didn’t feel like talking anymore and she would just stay by my side without saying anything. She would just put her hand under my arm and rest her head on my shoulder.

When I met her I would’ve never even dare dream if she was going to be ten feet near me. But now she occupied such a big part of my life. I didn’t know she was going to be one of the people who would stick by my side no matter what.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 56;

 

Despite her convincing me so many times that nothing was going to happen to her, the fear of losing her was still lingering inside of me. I couldn’t or I don’t know, I think I didn’t want to admit she was way too important to me than I thought.

“Hey, I got out early today.” Ashley said soon after getting closer.

“Good, we can get home early today.” I said, normally Alex would shy away when Ashley approached, but not today, she was comfortable by my side even when Ashley came.

“Hey,” she said.

“Hi,” Ashley responded with a smile.

“Can I catch a ride with you guys? I left bicycle at home today.” Alex asked. I looked at Ashley who just gave out a big grin which meant yes.

“Sure, hop in.” I opened the back door for her and then Ashley and I got as well and we left.

“Good morning,” Alex greeted the next morning when we were heading to class.

“Morning, how is my beautiful girlfriend doing?” I pulled her close by putting my arm on her shoulders,

“Why! Thank you. I’m quite well, and how are you?”

“I’m fine. But I’m also worried.”

“What about?”

“I know I’m fine now. But the question is, what if Rebecca was right? What am I going to do when the monster come or whatever it is?”

“Hey, you are not alone. And who said your training is over? I may not be as good as Rebecca but I know a thing or two about training. We are going to keep the routine going.”

“Thanks, so you mean we leave at lunch time, but I don’t have Rebecca’s powers so I’m going to drive.”

“Mh,” she seemed to be thinking for a moment, “I guess we don’t have any other choice.”

The bell rang and we had to rush to class because we were at my locker that entire time. One more thing about her, she never pushed me to go to class early. That was a relief even though things were quiet now, but still didn’t mean that people forgot I was a freak and they didn’t stop glaring at me either.

***

“Let’s start slow, we can start with your telekinetic.” Alex said when we arrived at the training ground.

That wasn’t as hard as it used to be anymore. I could move anything that didn’t weigh too much with ease. First, I started with pebbles on the ground and then some logs which were on the ground. I also I discovered I could control air molecules too, which means I could create wind out of the blue.

“I think you are good on that part.” She complimented,

“Now, let’s try something which require a little bit of effort.” I cut her short before she could continue,

“Hey, I use effort with this too you know.”

“I know, but you know what I mean. Let’s make things physical with zero use of super powers because I am not Rebecca.”

“Okay, that’s fine with me.” I was confident that it won’t be hard to beat her since I was super strong and Rebecca used to push me hard.

“Come to me.” She commanded,

I was stupid to think that sprinting towards her would take her by surprise and I would take her down. What I didn’t know was that she had training and I just started a couple days ago. So, to my surprise I found myself falling on my chest in a matter of seconds.

“Don’t attack blindly because your opponent will take advantage of that.” She instructed.

I got up wiped a little dust from my clothes and prepared to attack again. There were few tricks that Rebecca taught me but none of them worked on her.

“Okay, you need to learn to attack effectively and not lose too much strength. See how much you are panting? In a real fight you won’t last five minutes.”

“And how do I do that?” I asked seeing her point, I was out of breathe and in couple minutes I would’ve been exhausted.

“Just having powers or being strong doesn’t guarantee you’ll win. Look for your opponent’s weak spot, size and techniques.”

“When I look at you I see my weak spot.” I teased,

“Hey, focus. Sometimes you are annoying, you know that?”

“What are you going to do about it?” I teased again getting closer to her ready to tease her some more.

“Steven stop.” She said while moving backwards because she and I knew there was no way she was going to be able to resist me after putting on my teasing face.

“Hey, we are training here.” She said while a smile was betraying her and I knew there was nothing she can do now.

“Yah, I know. I’m trying to find my opponent’s weak spot.” I reached out and grabbed her by the waist and she giggled which always turned me on, I turned her around her back on me and I muzzled her ear lobe then her neck and I heard her moan, “I think I found it,”

“Mh, you think.” She said softly, “no, no, no you don’t get to do that.” She changed suddenly and released herself from my grasp.

“Hey, I was trying to use my charm to defend my opponent, you said yourself I use too much strength, right?” I put on my innocent look.

“That is not what I meant.” She pointed her finger at me with irritated expression on her face, “I can’t do this, now I know why Rebecca was yelling at you all the time.” She headed to the porch to grab her bag.

“I had no problem, she is the one with issues here. Ok, ok I’m going to focus now. Please come back I won’t play around anymore.”

“You promise?” she looked at me scrutinizing,

“I promise.”

“Ok, let’s start over.”

I really didn’t want upset her so I did everything she told me afterwards. I have to admit she was a good teacher. I learned more from her than I did with Rebecca may be because she patient with me unlike Rebecca. And I had no idea she had so much skills.

I was way more comfortable training with her which made me happier than frustrated and less tired as well. Yes, it was exhausting getting your butt kicked and get thrown around, but not as much as when someone’s yelling at you and keeps reminding you how you are going to get killed every five seconds or may be more. But she said it a lot, I mean Rebecca.

After couple hours I went back to school to pick Ashley up and I was careful to text her that I went somewhere and I would come to pick her up after school. I was almost an hour late but I knew she would be busy in her cheerleading routine. If not, then I was going to have to plead for her forgiveness.

“Hey, thank you for today.” I told Alex as we were closing in to school.

“What for?” she tried to brush it off.

“You know what. For training me, I never thought I’d need to learn to fight monsters. So you being here might just save me from being taken with monsters. Or killed.”

“I thought that was Rebecca’s job.” She said looking at her lap,

“I know she has powers and all but I never trusted her. I’d rather have you by my side.” I took her hand and held it.

“I like the sound of that, but I know you still need Rebecca. I don’t know anything about these things, monsters. She does. More than anyone, even more than my family.”

We entered school ground and I decided to stop talking about her. I didn’t want Ashley to start asking questions and wanting to get involved again. She was safe now and I was going to keep it that way.

I parked at my usual spot and Ashley was waiting close by. She was as red as a tomato, which wasn’t very good. She kept sitting at the concrete without moving or even looking at my direction. I got out of the car and went to her. I knew she wouldn’t stay mad at me for long with my puppy face.

“I’m sorry. I got caught up.” I tried to hold her hand but she yanked it away. “Tell me to do anything and I will do it so you can forgive me.” She didn’t say anything, “Ash please. Don’t be like this.” I pleaded.

Then Alex got out of the car which made Ashley’s expression change a little, maybe she was shy acting childishly in front of her.

She got up and headed to the car, “I’m not talking to you.” She said before getting inside.

“Hey, I’ll talk to you later. I’m gonna ride my bike today.” Alex told me before heading the other direction.

I got inside the car as well. I started it and we started heading home,

“Are you really not talking to me?” I asked honestly and sadly,

“Yes, I waited for you for two hours. Two hours Steve.” I guess time moved faster than I thought. She was furious.

“I’m sorry. You know I’ll never make you wait like that intentionally. Ash, please forgive me. Do you want me to kneel? I will if that is what you want.”

“Ok fine, whatever. You look awful when you beg.” She said with a smirk.
