Find Your Anchor - Part 1

17. Red-Handed

Thomas slowly opened his eyes and saw something that shouldn't be happening. It's impossible, he thought, What... How... How?

The reason that the brown haired boy was surprised was hovering right infront of his chest, blocking the deadly bullets. It was not Newt, nor Minho, nor Brenda, nor anyone who is supernatural.

It was a mysterious, deep green aura.

The aura was so startling bright, yet so dark. It looked like electricity made of air. It swarmed over the bullets, entirely covering them. The aura flared up suddenly, brightening the whole area, and engulfed Thomas inside the flame. 

It startled both Thomas and Craner. For Craner, it was surprising but also an relief. He thought Thomas had generated it, and it would kill him for sure. Craner thought that the aura would make Thomas gone for good. While Thomas, he was not just startled, He was petrified.

"What the hell is happening to me?" He muttered.

The green aura had made the deadly bullets disappear. There was no guarantee that it will make Thomas vaporize into thin air, too.

But for about 20 seconds, nothing happened. So Thomas thought it wouldn't hurt him. He tried moving his arms a little bit to his right. The aura followed him. He stepped one step closer to the man, and the aura followed. He gestured like making a ball with his hands, and the aura crumpled up into a electricity-generating fire ball. He tried throwing at the tree nearby, and the tree exploded. He remembered when he had catched the electricity taser gun that Alli... Allison had used. He jestured like that pose, and this time he catched the green electricity in his hands. He aimed at some random leaf, and shot it. The whole branch which the leaf was hanging on it broke down and landed with a bonecrushing 'thud'.

Thomas slowly turned his head toward the cowering man. Sage Craner gulped, and shot his gun again.

Then Chaos broke loose.

Thomas ducked the bullet and catched it with his aura. He grabbed it with his own hand and crushed it. Then he made a small ball made of fire, and shot it toward the man's gun. The gun, like the taser, uselessly landed near a tree stump. Now, Craner was unarmed, exposed. Thomas stormed over to the man, and grabbed his collar.

"Listen here, Craner." He said in a dangerously low tone. "Get back to Janson, and tell him straight away; that I will kill him if he comes for the NG pack. Heard that?" He let go of his clothes, and wiped his hands on his upper clothes. "What are you waiting for? Go NOW!" He yelled. Thomas shoved the man.

Sage Craner glared and turned away. Then he started to walk away. But Thomas noticed his muscles tensing. An image flashed through his mind. Him turning away from WICKED facility's man, then quickly shoving him catching off guard...

Craner pulled out an emergency pistol. He quickly loaded it and shot at Thomas. While the brown haired boy was caught off guard like the time at WICKED facility. Luckily it didn't hit him, instead it left a nasty cut in his left cheek. But that wasn't all of it. Thomas's stomach felt like it was turning upside down, like it was inside a rollercoaster. He felt dizzy...

Thomas's face reddened. He gave him a chance to escape, yet he tried hurting him again?

Craner  now taunted Thomas. "Now, now, Thomas, why wouldn't you come with me? Janson will take care of you. You will be separated from your sacred friends. After all, you are a monster that's hurting your friends. Think about it, Kira, she got bullied because she was protecting you, Issac, he was abandoned by his only friends to save you, Minho and Newt, they almost died to save you, Alby, Winston, Chuck, Jeff, Clint and the others... they actually died. And what about that Lucas kid? He died trying to save you. And Koran? Minho's younger sister that you liked so much? She was killed. Your friends is better without you. Come with me." Craner held out his hand, grinning wickedly. "Come with me, and it will end."

Thomas looked deeply into Craner's eyes. He only saw dishonesty, evil, and sarcasm... He rejected it by gaining his balance again and ignoring  the hand.

"Well, shuck to you, slinthead, because I'm not going with you." He simply replied. But his eyes were burning bright green. For the first time in his life, he thought he was a supernatural. Thomas never heard of a kind of supernatural that could control elements and all of those things, and turn their eyes green, but he didn't cared. The only thing he cared was killing this man. He had just insulted the other NG pack. He brought back the memories.

"And goodbye." Before the man could answer back, Thomas made the green aura into a slim rope and tied him. Then he made Craner go higher and higher untill he didn't saw him. Then he let it all go. 

In the distance, Thomas saw something burst into magnificent flames. It lighted the entire Beacon Hills. It was like he was seeing a pheonix spreading out his wings. It was quie marvelous to see it, except for the fact that their was a man inside it. When the flames eventually was let out, green auras surrounded the man and glowered around him. And suddenly everything was black. 

He waited for 30 seconds, and heard a thump. The body.

Thomas was afraid to move at all. He didn't noticed that he had slided to the ground, and crying.

He had just killed someone.

Because of him, someone died.

The brown haired boy thought it was the end of him...

But he killed many people when he was fighting WICKED, right? It doens't mean anything, right? 

Thomas stood up abruptly, swaying slightly in the process. He quickly checked for some injuires.

There was nasty wound forming in his cheek. And his wound had opened again, the gunshot wound. Blood was sipping out, coloring his gray hoodie inside his black jacket red. Shuck, I've got some excuses to make...

He should probably get away from the crime scene, before he gets caught standing here with a dead body.

Then he saw his red, red hand. Red with blood. It was not the man's blood, in fact it was his. But it made him realize what he had done. And it felt terrible. He snapped out of it and wiped it with his jacket.

He started limping toward the NG pack's house.

Thomas started shivering because it was so cold, and felt someone was staring at him.

He slowly turned around head first, and saw something.

And that thing snatched his right arm aggressively, and glared at him.

Who do you think it will be?

A) The WICKED Man back from the dead

B) Newt

C) Jorge

D) Supernaturals; today is full moon remember?

E) Minho

F) Janson

G) Scott

Red-handed means two things.

One is literally. Thomas killed Craner, so his hands are bloody. That makes him red-handed.

Two, he was caught by someone red handed.

Understood now? Good.

Peace out for now, wait for the next chapter.
