Chapter 6- Bad things

The boy took a deep breath after Josh had sweared on his life to not tell anyone what he was about to tell him.

"M-My name is T. At least that's what they call me. I'm pretty sure my real name is Tyler, I used to snoop around a lot and find things out when I was back at the lab....oh, the lab. I- I grew up in the lab because....I....I'll just show you."

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, watching as the boy stood up.

"T-That plant," the brunette started, "is it valuable?" 

The blue haired boy's eyes directed towards what 'Tyler' was talking about.

It was a vase filled with flowers that were wilting.

They didn't hold any value, his mother had placed the base there and had never came down to check on it.

She never actually comes down at all, that's why Joshua decided that hiding Tyler there wasn't a bad idea.

"No..n-no it doesn't, why?"

Tyler nodded, his eyes now fixiated on the dusty blue vase.

"You'll see," he whispered, biting his lip in concentration.

Josh leaned forward, concentrated on whatever the skinny boy was about to do.

The colorful haired boys expression soon turned from interested, to terrified, as the bottom of the vase lifted off the ground, making Joshua freeze in place.

His eyes flickered to the brunette, who was deeply concentrated on the item.

"H-How..." he was speechless, watching as the vase lifted higher and higher, until eventually, it came back down. It gently touched the ground once again.

Joshua expected to feel terrified, but once the brunette turned around, a sense of relaxation filled his body.  Maybe it was the way the Tyler looked at him, his eyes saying "don't freak out," instead of the "I have power over you."

"A-Are you okay?" Tyler asked, his hands noticeably shaking.

"I-I'm fine...so are you...do you...."

"I have telekinesis, that's why I've been living in a lab...I don't know who my parents are, all I know is that I've been living in the lab my whole life," Tyler interrupted, hanging his head low as he spoke.

Joshua took some time to process this, biting his lip.

"S-So...you escaped..are they after you?" He asked, after a moment.

"Yes."
