Titium Heart

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

 

A ray of sunshine woke me from my slumber, my peaceful slumber. I groaned slightly, trying to sit up straight. My back hurt, probably because I slept careless about my position.

After a cold shower, I dressed in a plain T-shirt and a pair of shorts that reached till my knees. Feeling more excited than I ever had in my whole life, I headed for the buffet section of the restaurant in the hotel. After filling my plate with a few parathas and chana, I headed for a small table in the corner of the hall.

After finishing my breakfast and checking out, I took a cab to the airport. The plane ride was nothing but boring. I slept some of the way and other time I just played with my phone. When I ran out of things to do, I took out Blake’s file and started going through it.

Name: Shaw, Blake

Age: 20

Titium: Positive

Crime: Exposing of his real self to humans, misuse of his power, inhumane activities.

Since Titiums didn’t age after they reach 20, he was a full grown Titium and bringing him down would be very intricate. His crimes were also very vicious. A few pictures were attached to the file. They displayed such ruthless acts that my stomach literally churned. One of the picture showed his car, which was a black Mercedes.

One of the pictures showed a girl lying in a pool of her blood with blue bruises all over her body; she was wearing nothing but her underwear. There was something written under the picture,

‘Was raped, with a metal rod, tortured physically and mentally for three months after being found by the neighbours on the kitchen floor, in her house. Finger prints of the suspects were found on the victim’s neck and arms and genital hair which proved that the suspect was, indeed, Blake Shaw.’

The thought of some girl being treated like an animal stung my brain like a wasp. I went through the files some more and found out that he kept moving but he was staying in Manchester for a little while and I had to catch him fast.

The plane ride went by easily after that. I couldn’t get those horrendous images out of my brain; I’m pretty sure I’ll have nightmares for a long time. The plane landed gently and soon I was departing from the airport with my grandma.

‘So, what did the Alpha want from you, so urgently?’ Grandma asked, the feeling of worry clearly taking over her words.

‘He wants me to catch someone, he’s a Titium; a fully grown one. So it’s gonna be a little hard for me.’ I replied, trying to avoid giving Grandma any worry.

‘Humph, I don’t really want you to put yourself in danger, because all I have in this world is you, But you can’t go against his orders either,’ Grandma tried to console me.

I turned my phone on; I had received twenty one messages all from Nick. I was too tired to read them all and reply to them, so I just called him.

‘Hey, what’s up, man?’ I asked.

‘You asshole, where were you? I’ve been calling and texting for the past two freaking days and when I didn’t get a call back, I started fretting; I was worried sick and I couldn’t even contact your grandma ‘cause I-’ he stopped in the middle of his blubbering.

‘You were what?

‘I was scared,’ he mumbled.

‘What? I can’t hear you.’

‘I was scared to call your grandma cause she’s scary’ he sounded frustrated.

‘Seriously? Are you kidding me?’ Carter chuckled audibly.

‘Whatever, that’s not the point. The point is, where were you?’

‘I was visiting some cousins in India.’

‘Dude, you have cousins in like every single place! And India? Isn’t that in the other continent?’

‘Yeah, it is! So?’

‘Okay, whatever! Just come back to school quickly, you’re girl’s looking smoking’

‘Have you been eyeing my girl? You know I’ll rip your balls off if you pull one of you tricks, right?’

‘Haha, yeah whatever, just come to school tomorrow.’

‘Sure, I will.’

With that I cut the phone off and headed upstairs to my bedroom to rest. Sleep didn’t come easily this time either, But after trying for a about half an hour, I fell in a deep slumber.

I was in the field, in which I used to practice. It was night time and horrible-looking trees surrounded me. I had a bad feeling in my gut. I heard rustling of leaves behind me; I turned around and saw Iris tied to a tree covered in bruises and blood.

I wanted to wake up but I couldn’t. I ran towards her and started untying her. Suddenly, I was pushed back into a tree with such force that I knew the person who had pushed me was not human. My vision blurred for a second but it was back in no time.

I got up and ran towards Iris. Blake had punched her again and I couldn’t hold my anger inside. I threw punch after punch towards him and with a few minutes, he lay on the ground unconscious. I went back to untying her. She freed her hands and took off the piece of cloth around her mouth.

‘Please, help me. I need you to help me,’ she begged.

‘I will.’

Before I could say anything else, I woke up from the dream, shooting bullets. I went to the bathroom and had a shower. I had to take my mind off all the stuff and the only thing that could help me was training; training to protect Iris and capture Blake.

It was dusk but I didn’t really care because of my advanced sight. I started towards the field in a jog which turned into a sprint as I reached the field. After slowing down a bit, I started downing a little Kung Fu.

Something seemed very different, like someone had been here. I could smell a scent that belong to an angel; Iris.

What was she doing here? Was my dream true? Had that already happened?
