Avenge AKF Series Book 1 (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 18

A lot can happen in a week. I can tell you this from experience. This week alone has changed my life, and I can honestly say it was for the better. I made some new friends, discovered more about what I am, and already my powers have improved immensely. So what if I hate the guy who brought me here and started this whole thing? I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him, so unfortunately and as hard as it is to admit, I have to thank him. 

I was deep in thought while watching all the guys trying to annihilate each other at Call of Duty. Don't ask me which one, I don't play. Max was watching them while telling them how bad they were at the game. It was actually kind of funny and Chloe was in a slightly heated conversation about the stereotypes of cheerleaders with Raven. And Vanessa was sitting on a chair with her nose in a book. It was rather peaceful. It was normal. Human. Easy going. Until one voice reminded me that once again my life will never be normal.

"How are my little Infinities?" Victor said as he waltzed in. 

I glanced back at him and rolled my eyes. "What are you doing in here Victor?" I asked annoyed. 

"I'm paying for this place. I can be here if I want." He bites back. "I'm here because I need to see your powers in action." 

"Why? You already know we have them." Jacob asks him. For half a second I thought I saw something flash across his face. I saw...vulnerability. But as quickly as it appeared it vanished. 

"I'm not gonna lie here. You guys have these awesome powers and I just want to see you in action. You're like superheroes!" He says excitedly. 

"We're not superheroes. People hate us because we're different." Max counters. 

"I agree." I add in. Max looks at me surprised that I was actually agreeing with her. 

"Just show me what you got." He presses.

I decide to speak with all of them. This guy is pissing me off. If none of us give in he will leave us alone. 

Then I talk to Jake alone. I know you're afraid of your own power. Don't worry. I've got you covered.

"No." Zach says. 

"Please. See? I'm using my manners."

"Get out Victor." Jason orders. I could tell Jason was using his powers on Victor and it worked. Victor left the house and drove off. 

"He actually listened to you?" Chloe asked him in disbelief. "How?"

"I have the power of persuasion. If I tell someone to do something, they'll do it." He explains.

"Cool." 

"For instance, Sara?" He turns to face me.

"Oh no no no. You promised me you'd never use your powers on me." I protested. 

"This is merely a demonstration." He clears his throat. "Sara. Kiss Zach." I felt my mind go cloudy and the only going through my head was that I had to kiss Zach. I walk over to him and crush my mouth against his. I hear Jason explaining stuff in the background. "She has no control over her thoughts right now. And as soon as she's done what she's told, she's gonna murder me." I hear chuckles. 

Zach immediately responds to the kiss and his lips move against mine. He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. His tongue licks my lips, asking for entrance. My lips part allowing his tongue to explore my mouth. 

"Okay, now their just making out!" I hear Xavier shout. 

"Fine. Sara you can stop now." My thoughts come rushing back and I stopped for a second, but you know what? Just for payback, I continue to kiss Zach. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. I run my hands through his soft hair and I hear a moan escape Zach.
