Fallen Stars

Chapter 46:Dangerous Fast-Food

Four-

The sounds of heated arguments is what wakes me up in the morning. I groan and check the clock, it's 6:55 A.M. I can hear the each word of the argument and it sounds like multiple people.

"Just shut the hell up, Jace!" Haydley yells."If you ever touch my boyfriend again, I'll hurt you."

"I'd like to see you try," Jace replies."I'll smash your stupid boyfriend's face in."

"Stop talking like I'm not right here, Jace!" Asott yells, equally as angry as Haydley.

I exit my room. The three of them are standing right outside my room, fists clenched and ready to induce damage on each other.

"I wish I could just kill you!" Jace yells at Asott."Your race killed my dad and I know you want to kill me too."

Asott crosses his arms, then says,"Look Jace, your angry and depressed, I understand-but please stop this, just find a Nitave base and bash their faces in."

"You know, I just might do that. But right now, I want to hurt you." Jace replies cruelly.

Jace flings something metallic and sharp in Asott's direction. Before I can even react, Haydley swiftly moves in the path of the short knife. I shut my eyes and fear the worst. There's no scream from Haydley, so I open my eyes.

The knife is one inch away from Haydley's chest, it's suspended in the air. At the end of the hallway stands Lucy, her mind focused on the knife. She just saved Haydley with Telekinesis. Seeing that Haydley is finally safe, Lucy allows the knife to drop to the carpet below.

"Bastard!" Asott yells, tackling Jace to the floor."You tried killing me and almost killed my girlfriend!"

Jace manages to knock Asott out, then he leaves out the front doors. I sigh, pick up Asott, then I take him to his room and drop him into his bed that he shares with Haydley.

"Thanks, Lucy," I tell her, exiting Asott and Haydley's bedroom."I guess I should start calling you Lucy the Protector."

She grins and says,"That's right!"

Jace-

I'm leaving.

I don't ever want to return to that mansion, unless Asott leaves forever. Running away sounds like a new change for me.

The weather is freezing as I put distance between me and the mansion. The closest house is a few-hundred yards away. The mansion is isolated, that's something I'm going to miss. I could be as loud as I want at night, and there wasn't the fear of having a break-in, because the mansion isn't well known.

I know the others will need me. I'm the strongest and most intimidating of the entire team, the second person is Four. That's all going to change, because I don't plan on coming back.

A few hours later, I enter the boundaries of a nearby city. The new jacket I bought is warm and comforting. One hour ago I teleported into the houses of Humans and stole their money. Also in my possession, is a stolen backpack.

There's a homeless man begging for change. Generously, I retrieve a few-thousand dollars and hand it to him.

"God bless your kind heart," The homeless man says to me, gratefully."I'll always remember you in my prayers."

The truth is, I have a few-hundred thousand in my backpack. Then I realize me and the man are similar to each other in a way-everyone hates us and will gladly turn up their noses in our presence.

I grab the man's arm and teleport us on the roof of a building.

"Ah!" He yells, alarmed."What just happened?"

"What's your name?" I ask him.

"I'm Richie! Okay? Just don't hurt me." He replies, cowering away from me.

I grin widely."Richie, how would you like to be part of the Shiner lifestyle?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three hours later, me and Richie are speeding through the streets of a city in Wisconsin. I bought Richie new clothes and he's dyed his graying hair black. We're inside a roofless white corvette and I'm driving.

"So how does it feel to be rich?" I ask Richie."Rich is the shortened version of your name, you know."

He laughs then says,"It's amazing. So amazing, I can't believe it. I also can't believe that you're something called a Shiner with amazing superpowers, you're being hunted by a race of other beings from a different dimension, and you abandoned the luxuries of living in a mansion."

I grin and focus on the road. When I buy us Taco Bell, I see something peculiar.

There's are two teenagers at one of the tables. At a table situated in a corner of the restaurant sits three people-one girl with reddish-brown hair who appears to be twelve, the boy of the group appears to be fifteen years old, but the last person of the group gets my blood pumping faster.

Excitement courses through me as I realize the third person is a Nitave. Her lean, muscled body is tall. She has black hair pulled into a ponytail, her eyes are bright green-illuminating the area in front of her.

I retrieve one of the short "pencils" that I keep in my pockets. They morph into small knives only when I want them to, I tried to kill Asott with one of them this morning, it's what I threw. The pencil morphs into a short knife and I fling it towards the Nitave.

The knife speeds to her, probably faster than a bullet, then it enters her forehead. I grin as she collapses to the ground, dead. The kids turn to me and grin widely. Apparently they hated the Nitave.

"Thanks for that," The boy says."That dumb Nitave killed our parents and forced us to be her slaves."

"I'm calling the police!" A customer yells.

"We should go." I tell the kids and Richie. Together, we exit the restaurant. I knock out the owner of a black Mercedes, steal his keys and use them to enter his car. We're out of there, quickly.

Now it's time to return home.
