Why is this happening again? John thought I stayed low. I did not boast about my power. I did not hurt anyone...where did everything go wrong?  John sighed. You're the thing that is wrong, John. Once a monster, always a monster. A voice in his head taunted him. "Shut up," John muttered to himself.

John was walking back to Wellston High after skipping class. He had a cup of mango boba in his right hand and his phone in his left. 

My legs are killing me. I think there was a shortcut to Wellston somewhere near here. It was that alley, right? John thought looking at the alley at his right. eh. Worth a shot.

John lifted his right hand and took a sip from his mango boba. He started walking down the dark alley and turned around the corner. An eerie silence filled the narrow lane. John turned again. This time he saw a dark figure standing there staring at john. He wore a dark brown coat that reached down to his knees. His hair was a dark shade of blue and left messy. His eyes were bright mint green. A powerful aura surrounded him.

"Who are you and what do you want," John demanded. The man did not move. "I'm warning you! I'm a god-tier and I am not afraid to take you down," The man chuckled and took one step forward. "Come one! DON'T BE SUCH A COWARD! ACTIVATE YOUR ABILITY!" John yelled. The unknown man took another step and stopped. He lifted his right hand and snapped. 

His eyes aren't glowing. Why isn't he using his ability? Or is he perhaps a cripple? No, he wouldn't be somewhere like this if he were. SNAP. Someone is behind me! John felt the presence of a woman in her early thirties with red hair woven into twin braids. She was holding a needle. "Sweet dreams," she sneered next to John's ear. 

The needle punctured John's neck. His eyes fluttered and then closed completely. 

"Wow, Chase. If I were this kid I would have run away screaming. Your acting was on point," the woman commented. 

"Yeah. Yeah. Get this kid back to EMBER headquarters, Brooke" Chase demanded. 

"Alright, jeez no need to be so cold," Brooke teased while rolling her eyes.

Brooke touched both Chase and John and her eyes began glowing a shade of lilac purple. They dissolved as if they were never there.
