Fallen Stars

Chapter 13:Danger

Alan-

" They're getting bolder." Josh says, a chill runs down my back.

" Can we do something about it?" I ask.

" No." Josh replies, his voice is void of all emotion."Listen Alan, go to the train station two miles from here."

"Why?" I ask him.

He shoots up from his seat."JUST GO!"

I aim my fist under his feet, letting the ground rumble.

Josh tackles me to the floor, and roughly yanks me by the collar of my shirt.

" Just go Alan, please." He says, then he helps me to my feet." Sorry, bro."

I just nod and brush past Nora. I start thinking, once I'm out the door. Why does Josh want me to go to the trains?

It's been two months ever since we recruited Nora. This time we have been training instead of fighting. I've gotten taller and stronger, and so has Josh and Danny. If a fully grown Nitave warrior attacked me, I can easily beat him with my bare hands.

Me and Tracy started an official relationship, we both love each other so much.

When I get to the train station, I linger outside. The wind is breezy, just perfect. I dig into a pocket of my jean's, and whip out my cellphone.

I view a picture of me and Tracy. It's a photo of us at a carnival, Tracy is holding cotton candy while we kiss.

I smile.

Suddenly I feel a sudden chill creep up my neck. But it's not from the wind. I stuff the phone back into a pocket, and raise my head.

In the reflection of a the mirror in front of me is a man in black. He's probably six yards away from me. I whip around, and grin at the Nitave.

This is going to be so easy.

I clench my right hand, forming a fist. I punch the air, then the ground rises. In one second, the ground below the Nitave shoots up. The Nitave sails through the air, until he collides with a red sedan.

People around me scream and run around in panic. When I spot two nearby policemen, I enter the building. A men's restroom is up ahead, I decide to hide there.

I start striding over to the restroom, but a gloved hand grab my shoulder. I deflect the hand, and turn around. It's another Nitave, he looks like he's my age, with short black hair, and vivid blue eyes.

" Don't hurt me, I'm h-here to help." He says, nervously."I brought a car, it's outside. We c-can escape that way."

Before I can respond, an explosion rocks the entire building. Then a futuristic looking helicopter completely demolishes part of the ceiling.

Two Nitaves man the helicopter. One single missile is fired from the helicopter, and blows me away. My body smacks into a wall. Before the Nitaves can attack again, I leap towards the helicopter.

Once I'm on top of the aircraft, I kick open the windshield. The Nitaves reach for their weapons, but I grab the weapons instead. After killing them with the swords, I hop off the helicopter and land on the floor.

The Nitave teen is leaning against a wall, staring at me in amazement.

" How about we take the car you were talking about?" I ask him.

Before he can answer me, two dozen Nitaves rush inside the building. Their swords are crimson, and glowing.

" Let's just hitch a ride on a train." He says, quickly.

I nod, then we dash off.

Jeron-

It's been a few months since I met Jazlyn. We're friends now and I learned many things about her. She can control the weather and has X-Ray vision. We're laughing and talking to each other on a empty beach. It's nighttime.

"What's wrong?" I ask her after a few minutes when she stares at the ocean, her brow furrowing.

"I just have a feeling something bad is going to happen." She replies. I pick off a strand of her dark brown hair that somehow got on my red T-shirt. We both live in a motel and we have thousands of dollars. Shiners are always wealthy, it seems.

"We should go back to the motel." I tell her. When I stand up and turn around, I see my father only a few yards away. He glares at me, then I notice a Nitave warrior with him. A black car with tinted windows pulls into a parking lot, three Nitave soldiers emerge from it.

"Dammit." I say, pulling Jazlyn to her feet.

"Kill them both." My dad tells them. He must have been promoted to leader of the squad. I watch as he gets into a car, then drives away. Jazlyn summons dark clouds above us, bringing down a lightning bolt that kills one of the Nitaves. I hear a Nitave blaster powering up, so I duck and the laser burns off a few centimeters of my black hair.

"Damn, Jazlyn!" I shout. She just engaged a Nitave in a sword fight, but doesn't notice the three other Nitaves sneaking up on her. The three of them shoot her in her back. I can only watch in horror as she falls to the ground. Smug grins are on the Nitaves' faces when they turn around and face me, blasters aimed.

I turn to my right and run, dodging the blasts from their guns. I grab my pistol from my pocket and shoot two of them. I release more bullets and dodge their blasters for a few more minutes, then they're all dead. I sprint over to Jazlyn. She is still on the ground, when I flip her over, I gasp. There is bloody holes in her chest.

"Jeron," She tells me before kissing my on the lips. I'm shocked, but I'm too sad to be happy about it."Find the Shiners. Join them, help them win this war. And I want you to keep my powers." She grabs my arm, her pale hand contrasting with my yellowish-brown arm. Her hand glows blue for one second, and that's when I feel a surge of energy flow through me.

Her hand suddenly drops after one minute of me holding it. Her eyes are closed and I kiss her forehead. I promise to use her powers to oppose my race. And more importantly as revenge, I am going to kill my father one day.
