CHAPTER 62;

 

The next was Friday, the day of the event. It was a school day and I went to school like any other day. But the entire day all I did was counting the time. I knew I was going to face him in the middle of the night but that didn’t make me any less nervous. Alex didn’t show up to school today and that made me feel alone all over again. Bratt was another thing I had no plans of confronting, but out of nowhere he came to me during lunch time.

He was standing in front of my lonely table with his goons. I was really in no mood to argue with anyone, but he was determined to make my day worse than it already was. He threw my sandwich with its plate on the floor.

“I heard you are trying to hang out with my girlfriend, freak. I won’t let you kill her like you did to Clara. Did you know I loved her too? But you killed her you piece of shit.”

“Look, I’m sorry she died but I didn’t kill her.” I said with my voice shaking, and it wasn’t because of him something was happening to me.

“Of course you did like everyone else who gets close to you.”

“I’m not feeling very good. I need to leave now.” I felt like my powers were about to explode from inside my body. I started to see people covered in a mirage of some kind of energy shield.

“You are not going anywhere freak.” He commanded and motioned two of his goons to hold me so they came to my side and pushed me on the wall. Since my table was at the end of the cafeteria in the corner.

“I really need to go now.” I pleaded.

“Are you sweating? I haven’t even started yet.” Bratt said proudly, and now everyone was watching.

Yes, I was sweating but not out of fear I wish it was for that reason it could’ve been so much simpler. But something was happening inside of me making me sweat. I felt Ike I couldn’t control my powers anymore.

“You need to go now. I can’t hold it anymore.”

“What? You need to pee freak? You can’t hold it anymore.” He laughed and his friends did as well,

“Grrh!” I groaned, “Go now.” I gave out guttural cry, but he didn’t care.

What happened next was something that made sure I would never stay in town ever again. I gave out some kind of electromagnetic shield. It was so strong that it destroyed every electronic device in the cafeteria and pushed tables and chairs out of the way.

“You really are a freak!” Bratt said in fear.

“I’m out of here.” One of his friends said and fled the cafeteria followed with everyone else with lots of screams.

I couldn’t move. I was stuck, ashamed, scared and worried. I really was a freak and dangerous too. Worse, I had no idea what the hell that was.

“Come on. We need to go.” Rebecca out of nowhere grabbed my hand heading to the back door of the cafeteria.

I didn’t say anything. I was still in shock and my head was also in a fog of some kind. She got me inside my car and she took off, driving my Dorge without my permission.

By the time we arrived at Alex’s house I was starting to feel more of myself again.

“What just happened?” I asked Rebecca,

“You are not a kid anymore, which means you hit maturity,” she said, “which means you are time is up.”

“What does that supposed to mean?”

“It means from now on he can find you anywhere you go. He has killed a bunch of our kind who were trying to hide from him. That’s why I don’t want us to run, I want us to take the fight to him. That is the only way.”

“Well then, let’s get him.”

She parked by the porch so that we can make final plans for the night. Alex was the first one to come meet us at the door.

“What happened? I thought we were going to meet in the evening.” She looked surprised and worried,

Yah, I forgot they planned we were going to meet in the evening. I didn’t know why Rebecca decided to bring me here, but I guess she had a good reason.

“Steven had an incident in school today. I’m pretty sure the cops are looking for him right now. And his home is the first place they are going to check.” Rebecca explained.

“Ok, come on.”

We got inside and everyone was busy moving around and Rebecca and I just stood there like statues. Alex went to her father’s study and didn’t come out for a long while. But she finally came out together with her father.

“Good afternoon. So I heard you ran into some trouble in school. That’s too bad, but we have bigger, more important things we have to discuss.” He said and to my surprise he wasn’t the way I pictured him he would be on a day like this.

He was more relaxed than any other day, “since you are already here. We can use this time to discuss about the plan.” He paused and looked at me and Rebecca.

He signaled Alex and she went back to the study then she came back with a folded long paper. She put it on the table and her father spread it and it covered half a table. From the look of it, it was like a blueprint of some kind.

“I assume you all know what this is.” We nodded,

“Good, we know that the warehouse has one accessible entrance and the windows have bars which won’t be easy to get through. And since it’s a one floor story warehouse they will probably have their meeting at the top. There’ll be guards at the entrance and a few more on the ground floor. Our job is to clear the path for you and after that you’ll be all alone.” He explained everything while pointing on several places on the paper. He kept talking a little bit more but I tuned it out and started looking at the rest of the family which was going to the basement and up and outside with a bunch of boxes.

“Okay, we got it.” Rebecca replied to something Alex father said.

“Good. The rest of the family is a little busy getting everything ready so that we won’t forget anything when we go.” He pointed to the people who acted like we were invincible or something. “Sit down and relax we still got couple more hours to cover.”

So, I slumped on the couch and just be in a stupor thinking this is it, like for real. There was no going back now.

After Alex father explained everything he went to the basement as well and Alex returned the blueprint back to the study. When she came back she grabbed my hand and pulled towards the back door. I didn’t even know such a small house had a back door.

She kissed me roughly, “I didn’t want leave without tasting your lips for the last time.” She kissed me again, “One more time.”

“Aren’t you worried someone might see us?” I asked worried but also pleased,

“It doesn’t matter, I’m leaving anyway. So, I don’t care.” She had that mischievous look on her face.

I didn’t add a word I just held her face with my hands and kissed her deeply as I was moving her to lean on the wall of the house. Then kissed her until I ran out of breathe.

She hugged me tightly after letting go and we just stayed that way for a while and it was exactly what I needed at that moment, something that didn’t involve killing or dying just living and love.

“I’m gonna miss you Steven.” She said softly,

“I’m gonna miss you too Alex. But I’m gonna find you.” I told her,

“Let’s hope you can find me.”

“I will.” I sounded more sure than I felt.

When we went back inside I ate. I didn’t know I eat a lot when I’m nervous, it kinda made me a little calmer and confidence, I guess. From that moment forward time moved fast and suddenly it was dark and time to go finally arrived.

We had to go a little bit earlier so that everyone could take their positions and see Profillius and his people get in. So that we could see how many they real were. Alex, Iris and two of her uncles were left in the van to watch over Rebecca and me.

Around eleven thirty close to midnight several SUVs stopped by the entrance of the warehouse. There was four of them and they were all filled with people and they all came out like storm. Then, there was this very tall man wearing all black with two bodyguards guiding him towards the entrance.

“I’m going to fight that?” I asked out of panic.

“Quiet, we don’t know how far he can hear.” One of Alex uncles said harshly. We were a fair distance from the warehouse. They used binoculars but Rebecca and I didn’t need ‘em because our visions were heightened somehow.

And just like clockwork the man stopped and looked back, but turned the wrong way because his back was facing us. For a second I thought he heard us, but I realized he wasn’t listening instead he was waiting for someone from the second SUV to come out.

To my surprise I saw some people who looked so much like mom and Ashley, and them too had bodyguards but not for protection. Mom didn’t seem to resist that much but Ashley was always stubborn so the body guard had to shove her several times to move forward.

My heart pounded in my chest and I attempted to get out of the van we were in to go save them. But Rebecca held me in place.

“Let go. I won’t let him kill them too.” I roared.

“Stand down.” The second uncle ordered.

“That’s my mom and my sister out there I can’t just sit still.”

“You can save them if you are smart. Or you might make him kill them and all of us.” Iris said calmly, and I think she played around with my head because I found myself losing the will to struggle.

We sat there watching mom and Ashley and the man disappearing inside the warehouse. I was worried, angry and scared. But I also knew Iris was right, so I sat there waiting for instructions.

“Is everyone in position?” Alex father asked through a radio call.

“Yes, the king fish is inside.” The first uncle replied,

“Okay everyone, get ready we move in three.” Alex father commanded.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how they were going to do it until I heard him say three and all over sudden there was noises everywhere. There was gunshots everywhere, it was like there was explosion everywhere.

“Stay in here until I tell you to get out.” The second uncle ordered and headed out with the first one.

I didn’t wish to get out anyway so I sat still and the noises kept going until it was super quiet all over sudden.

“Ok, come on. It’s clear now.” He came back
