BLACK POWER

  My paranoia grew again. But then I realized that Jaylen wasn't bad. He was trying to help me. But was it enough? Bryce turned around to face Jaylen. He walked away from me, releasing his grip on my shoulders. He and Jaylen walked toward each other.

   “So looky here. Little Jaylen is going to try to stop me? Awwww,” Bryce said in a baby voice.

  I didn't want to, but I had to chuckle. “Yeah, but even if I am a baby, I'm still hotter than you,” Jaylen said with a smirk. I just rolled my eyes and smiled at his selfish, yet true, comment. “Really? You think you're hotter than me?” he said in a voice like he couldn't believe it.

   Jaylen took a fighting stance and said, “You're damn right I am,” he said. Then it started.

   Bryce struck the ground with his fist and a giant wave of rock hurtled toward Jaylen. It struck Jaylen high up in the air, leaving him flying. My eyes grew in shock and fear. Then Jaylen immediately stopped in mid-air. I forgot that he couldflyandinstantlyrelaxed. Bryce flew into the air until he was at Jaylen’s height.

   Jaylen spotted the dishwasher on the ground. He swooped down and picked it up with no effort at all. He hurdled it at Bryce. I thought for sure that it would crush him.

   But it didn't. He caught it. The freaking dishwasher! He threw it, and it just happened to be in my direction. I ran and jumped just before it hit the ground. Bryce ran toward Jaylen. He punched him in the face and in return Jaylen sweep kicked him as he fell down. He caught Bryce by kicking him on his back letting him fly upward. He finally stopped and came hurdling back down to earth.

    I was sure that he was dead.

    He didn't move at all. Then at the very last second he spun around and punched Jaylen in the nose, hard. Jaylen fell to the ground. Leaving a dent. He stood there motionless. Get up, Come on get up. Please. I whispered encouraging words to myself. He still didn't move. Bryce floated to the ground bloody and panting. He looked at me and laughed. “Well that didn't take long,” he said then walked toward me. When he got close enough, I pulled out my dagger and struck him across the face.

   His face shifted sideways. But when he turned back, the cut was already healing. It had no effect on him. He laughed maniacally. Then I thought of something. “Wait. If you can heal that fast, then shouldn't Jaylen be able to…” We both realized what was happening. Bryce turned around and we both saw Jaylen getting up from the ground, not a scratch on him. I smiled with delight. Bryce and Jaylen went toward each other again. But this time, they ran. But it was more than just running, they were both glowing.

  Yep, I said glowing. As in light. And of course, Jaylen's body was glowing silver and Bryce's was glowing purple. They were getting closer to each other. The closer they got, the closer the world was to an immediate end. I may be over selling this but everyone will die. Even the ones I know and love. My heart started to race again, but it was more rapid, scarier, like it was threatening to jump out of my chest.

  Then I looked down, and saw that my heart was glowing red. Then right before they collided, right before the end, a wave of color and wind rushed through the city. They stopped immediately and looked at me in awe. I was floating above them with my hair flowing and my body looked like I'd been dipped in red radioactive paint. “Whoa. Is it just me or is she even hotter now?” Jaylen said in a thirsty voice. And when I say thirsty I don't mean like lemonade, if you know what I mean.

   I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop it you guys! Just stop! You guys are going to rip each other limb from limb if you don't stop this! And at the prize of what? Destroying public property? Wait no revealing yourself to all these people? No wait! Possibly ripping open the universe with your big macho muscles?” I said with air quotes. I then started mocking them by making manly faces and flexing my guns. I turned around to see all the people staring at me in awe, fear in their eyes. “Just go!” I said to them irritated. They ran around screaming and it suddenly fell silent. I stared at both of them. “You guys are so different than I thought you were. You guys need help. And I'm not joking,”

  “Neither am I when I say this: They're coming tonight. The Black Devils,” I spun around to see Jaylen's dad, mom, sisters, and his brother. “What? How do you know? Why?” I said to the group staring up at me. Jaylen's dad walked forward and I now realize that he was the one talking. “The reason the Black Devils haven't been attacking is because they were waiting for all of you to reach your full power, so they could steal it. Now that all of you have, they're coming tonight to give us a warning,”

   I stared at Bryce and Jaylen on the ground, with me still hanging in the air. “Do you know when they're coming?” I said to him. Jaylen's dad stayed totally still. “Right now,” he said. Then we saw a shadow in the dark near the woods, a werewolf shadow. Why can't my life be normal? They came out of the dark looking intimidating. The one in front had a scar on its cheek.

   “Grant,” I said out loud. “In the fur,” Grant said to me. Everyone looked at me. “You know Grant?” they all said at once. “Uh…yeah. It's a complicated story,” I said to them. “So how's your dad? Oh that's right, we have him,” he brought out the smug smile on me. “I wish I had your head but hey! We can't all be winners,” I said coldly ready to rip his lungs out and feed it to my pet goldfish.

    “Well anyway, you guys know the drill so yada, yada, yada, I'm here to warn you and Mo…” he said to me. “I'm still waiting for that phone call,” he said. Then he winked at me and ran off with the rest of his pack. I saw Bryce walking toward them but Jaylen stopped him. It was then that I realized it all, what was happening. This was real. This wasn't my imagination. And now……… the war has just begun.

 Wars are very dangerous.
