Powers

{Chapter 3}

       My mother's voice yelled out to us. "Get to bed guys! Y'all need as much sleep as y'all can get for school tomorrow!" I got into bed and closed my eyes. Something felt off. I couldn't stop thinking how different Jake was being. In a bad way. Tomorrow after school I will follow to see where he is going. I drifted off to sleep as the wind blew outside gently.

                Unknown: "Tomorrow he will see how, "powerful" he can get till he's off control." (Evil smile)

        I sighed in relief as I walked out of the building in a hurry. Today was difficult as always, being shunned, evil notes on my locker, and difficulty with the math teacher. I call it meth sometimes because it's just...... meh. I saw my brother up ahead and started running to a jogging paste to keep up. He walked through a crowd of people while I ran into the crowd. I tried to squirm out but ran into one of the bullies in the school. This is just ONE. I mean there is about like 13 bullies that I run into everyday. Now you feel bad for me? Well that's how I live my life. "Hey it's the banana kid!" He laughed out loud while he attracted two more bullies. I ran from underneath them and got away. I heard them shout. "Get her!" They all started chasing me. I looked ahead to find my brother but he disappeared. Where did he go? I saw the bullies catching up to me and I forgotten about jack and started running home.

              (Jack's POV)

        I looked behind me seeing if anyone was looking or following. I saw my sister being held to the ground by a lot of bullies. Eh she'll be fine. I ran into the woods where I had met the shadow figure last time. Moments later I started to feel like this was just my head seeing things yesterday. I turned around and fell to the ground shocked when the shadow was right behind me inches close. "Dude why so close!?" I shouted out. He stared at me for a second and gave an evil smile. "Well don't you want your powers?" "Yes" I said in return. "Close your eyes...." I felt a chill run down my spine. I heard a sound of a knife and the inside of me panicked with fear. "It will hurt but deal with it." He growled at me. I bit my tongue hard to not squeal out in pain as I felt the sharp metal cut through skin and flesh. Was this really worth it? I didn't even trust this thing. Yes it was worth it.

      The cutting stopped but I felt the blood run down over my chest. "It's over." It said in a deep voice. I looked at my chest and saw only blood until I wiped it away and saw a black oval shaped stone. "That holds your power. If it is cut off or ripped out, you will not have the power again." It said as it disappeared. I started walking home while my shirt covers the blood and the stone hidden from everyone. When I got home I washed off the blood and put a bandaid over the stone that was imbedded in my skin so no one would see it.
