Aurora Genesis

Chapter 18: It Gets Worse

- The Next Day, Metropolis Mall -

"Where is it? Where is it?" I mumbled to myself.

I had a free day today, so I decided to treat myself to the mall. The mall is a social place, not that I like it but eh still.

I mean I can't hide forever right? OK fine yes I like to get away from society.

I'm searching for a store that sells video games, I wanted to get some new titles for my Xbox. Though knowing myself I'm problem just gonna get a bunch of racing shit.

Why am I at the mall buying video games when my truck is broken down? I should fix it instead, ugh whatever I'm going to do what makes me happy.

However life had other plans for me.

Someone shoves me from behind and I jump, my brown eyes glow bright blue and I quickly turn around to see who attacked me.

But it was just Celina....and Fiora.

"Oh, hi. What the hell was that for?" I began.

"You. Why they hell did you join something ridiculous like Aurora Defense? Private defense forces always have their members killed and you decided THAT was a good idea?!" Celina crossed her arms, angry of course. "And you didn't tell us! You're our friend and SHE is your girlfriend so why-"

"OK hold on, who told you this?" I sighed, annoyed.

"Salvus! He didn't even tell us until I kept asking him why he looked so beaten." Celina explained.

I glance over to Fiora and she just looks disappointed.

"Celina, it's dangerously but it's the only job that not only pays well but also allows me to flex my ability. I'm too powerful so I have to unleash it something." I explain quietly to her. "I didn't tell you two yet because it was so recent so I wasn't necessarily comfortable telling anyone yet. Salvus actually joined independently, he didn't know I was on the team until later on."

"*sigh* Alright I guess so." Celina understood. "I'm just worried about you, you're my friend."

"But why didn't you tell me at least?" Fiora quietly began, which was strange since she didn't talk for a while.

I sighed and tried to walk away from the situation, I didn't want to deal with more emotional shit. In case you didn't know, emotions are the enemy to me.

Fiora tried to walk after me. "Emerson, I'm serious. Why didn't-"

"Because it doesn't matter if I die or not. I'm not truly yours. It doesn't really matter to you, because even if something very bad did happen which is unlikely, I'd just be out of your way from your soulmate." I tried to explain without making a scene.

"But still I'm your girlfriend who loves you, I would still want to know even if you got some sucky job at a fast food joint." She tried to reason with me.

"So what?"

"So what?! I'm sorry for being worr-"

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, IM NOT YOUR SOULMATE STOP PUSHING! YOU AND I WILL NEVER BE A THING OK?!" I shouted and immediate realized I had just embarrassed myself.

Her eyes were starting water, but she kept a straight face.

"If you were mine I'd love to have you and I wish I did. But look, this shit can't work. I don't care how much you push I'm ending it right now. Someday Fi, you'll find this incredibly handsome, tall, charming, powerful and most importantly a mentally stable guy." I tried to end it. "You're marked I'm not, just wait. Alright? I'm sorry."

"Em wait-"

"No. Nah uh." I kept leaving. I placed my hood over my head and kept walking.

Inside I was emotionally hurting, I was mad at myself for doing it.

But not doing it would have been selfish.

And besides, I'm useless anyways.

I knew Celina would probably be further upset at me for hurting her friend but at this point, shoving out people seems to be the only thing I can do now.

I can't shove out Salvus yet, he's my teammate but if I could I would.

Being born knowing you'll never have a fulfilling relationship changes you, your loneliness eventually damages your brain and you become angrier, sadder, more fearful and crazy.

I may have no mark but at least instead I get a ridiculously powerful ability.

I'm going to use it as much as possible.

Because even though I'm useless relationship wise.

I'm going to destroy every bastard who tries to act shit like.

I release my anger on them.

Not even Daniel will stop me.

Cause I'm the Alpha now, bitch.
