Abilities

Chapter 13

Darius looked at the computer screen one more time. He just could not fathom the stupidity of some people. They had actually separated, the tracking device he had implanted in them showed that seven were in different parts of England, one in Ireland, and two in Oklahoma. They made it so simple to capture them again, if that was his plan. Just then Martha walks in and stands there looking at the ground until Darius decides to acknowledge her existence "What?" He smiles as he sees that just one word makes her flinch and the blood drain from her face. When she walked in on him standing over Eric holding a bloody knife she wanted to quit and she swore she would never tell anyone if he just let her go. But he couldn't risk it, he forced her to help wipe down the surfaces and the knife and he told her that she would never be allowed to leave. "They're....uh they have all been injected. Sir." "Very well, dismissed." Martha backed out of his office and closed the door. Darius stood up and straightened his tie. He walked into a large room and said "Congratulations on being selected. You all have been injected with a serum. You weren't picked as carefully as the people before you so I expect about 50% of you all to die. But the ones who live will acquire powers and, just in case you think of running away at any point remember that the collars you all are wearing will electrocute you with enough voltage to stop your heart immediately if you leave this building." Darius barely got in the last word as they all started screaming from the pain of the injection. Darius walked out of the room smiling as the screams surrounded him. He was in charge now and he had a plan.

Louis looked down at Lottie as she laid in the hospital bed, asleep from painkillers that the doctor gave her. A tear ran down his cheek, his baby sister laying in the hospital, her blonde hair cascading over the pillow, and he is the one who put her there. When Louis first found out he had this ability Darius would put old cars in the arena and he would throw them the length of a football field and he loved it. However, up until now he had only been around his band mates and their girlfriends so he never noticed how strong he really was. He couldn't go around people without hurting them, he even accidentally broke a couple of Eleanor's fingers when he was holding her hand. He was so careful, he agreed to stay with Eric for months until he thought that he could get his strength under control. "It's not your fault." His mum's voice broke him out of his thoughts. "Yes, mum it is. Don't tell me otherwise." Louis left the hospital and went into the parking lot, he grabbed his door handle and it crushed under his grip. "I AM A MONSTER!" He stayed away, and this is why. Lottie would be fine, that was what he was told, a spinal fracture and a broken arm. Whenever he opened the door to his childhood home Lottie yelled "Lou!" And ran into his arms just for him to crush her when he hugged her. He was a monster, and deserved to be alone forever if he could only hurt the ones he loved. Louis turned away from his car and just started running, he didn't know where he was going and he didn't care. He needed to get away before he killed someone with his curse.
