The Gifted

Chapter 3

~Jack's pov~

Dark.

Everything was so dark.

I look around myself and try to see some sort of light, but all I can see is darkness. My body shivers from the coldness and I wrap my arms around myself. My tank top was gone, leaving my chest exposed wich made the fact that it's cold much worse. I still had my pyjama pants, thank god for that, but every second made me feel like I was freezing.

I deside not to just stand still here and walk foreward into the darkness. I look around trying to see anything except this black void around me, but it's all the same. But wait, what's that ahead?

I look foreward, seeing a small light in the distance. I start running towards it, not caring if it made my cold skin and weak body hurt even more. So close, i could almost reach it. I reach my hand out to grab it, running faster as it gets closer.

But as I see what it is I freeze. I stop running and stand there looking at the thing in front of me.

There, a few feet away from me, is a silver Toyota car, the hood smashed and the windows broken. The right front door is hanging loose of it and from where I stand you can see blood on it.

But the worst part is not the broken car in front of me, but the people that are sitting in it. A man with black hair and a beard that matches sits in the driver seat, his black suit all torn up with blood stains on it. His head is filled with cuts and bruises and his blue eyes look cold.

Next to him is a woman with dark brown hair that's all messed up, her dress just as torn up and her arms and face covered in cuts, bruises and blood. Her eyes are closed, but if they where open I knew they whould be dark brown.

I look at them, still too shocked to move. I felt tears start to run down my cheeks and I forse myself to look away.

Suddenly the ground under me dissapears and I fell into the black void under me. I screamed and tried to grab onto something, but all I could feel was the dark void swallowing me into the ground.

I wake up with a startle, feeling warm tears fall down my cheeks. My breaths are quick, and I try to calm myself by looking around me, feeling relaxed as I can see my all familiar room and not a broken car or a black void.

I sigh and grab my phone, checking what time it is. 09:45 am, wow I woke up early for a saturday. I feel my phone vibrate and see that Alex sent me a text. I smile to myself, that goofball always make me happier. I opend my messages and look at the text he sent me.

*Hey you awake Jackaboy?*
-Alex

*Yup, just woke up as
a matter of facts*
-Jack

*Well you wanna hang
out in the park*
-Alex

I thought about it for a sec if I should go or stay and watch Rick and Morty all day before answering him.

*Sure! Meet you in half an hour*
-Jack

*Okay, see you then!*
-Alex

I smile and go to the bathroom, stripping out of my clothes before going into the small shower. It's not the biggest one but it does it's job. I wash my hair with some shampoo, cleaning every bit of it.

Ones finished I get out of the shower, grabbing a large blue towel to dry myself with? I dry my body, stopping for a second when I touch the scar on my chest but keep drying myself after a few moments. I wrapped the towel around my waist before going back to my room to put on some clothes.

-Time skip-

"You hear about the bank incedent that happend yesterday?" Alex asked me, taking a sip from his coffee.

"Nope, what are you talking about?" I ask, looking from my coffee at him with a curious look.

We where at the small cafe at the park, the usual spot we fo to chat since we loved to go here when we where in school. The sweet smell of coffee and cakes is all around the place, and it really helps me relax.

"Some robbers tries to rob a bank, but Markiplier and his friend stopped them" Alex said and I felt myself frown.

"Why do they go around acting as heros anyway?" I say bitterly, taking a sip from my coffee.

"Well they kinda are the heros Jack, they have saved the city many times" Alex says, looking over at me.

"Well it's just a matter of time before they make mistakes" I say, not wanting to look at him.

"Why do you say tha-" a huge explosion outside interupts Alex, making us both look shocked outside.

Outside was Markiplier fighting two villans, a blown up car next to him. He threw a punch at one of them, who went flying back at a wall, but the other one just returned the favour by throwing him back.

The villan grabbed Markiplier, throwing him through the window of the cafe, making people jump away.

I looked shocked at the villan walk inside, kicking the hero still lying on the ground in the face. Looking this made my skin crawl, but i couldn't help him, it whould risk my safety of staying hidden.

Markiplier grabbed the villan and punched him, but the villan only made a fireball in his hand and threw it back at him, making the hero fall back with a groan.

The other villan walked inside, holding up a knife aimed at the hero lying on the ground, that was still recovering after the other attack.

Before i could stop myself I was already running to the trouble.

  
~Mark's pov~

I looked up at the villans, ready to feel there final blow. They cought me by suprise while I was helping somebody in the park and now I'm lying here on the floor of some cafe waiting for them to kill me.

The one with the knife raised it up and I closed my eyes, waiting for the final blow. But all I felt was a gust of wind and a sound of a body falling down.

I opend my eyes, but what I saw was not what i expected. There, standing in front of me was a man wearing black sneakers, darm blue jeans and a black hoddie that covered his face.

The villan with the knife was lying on the ground, the knife in the mystery mans hand.

The second villan punched at the man, but he just made a lightning in his hand and threw it at the villan, throwing him back.

I felt my eyes go wide as I looked at the two knocked out villans on the ground, before looking at the man.

"T-thank you" I said quietly, trying to see the mans face. He just looked at me, not saying a word before running away at the speed of lig-wait!? That guy has two gifts!?

I quickly stood up, running in the direction he went to, but there was no sign of him.

I have to find him.

~Unknown pov~

I look at the video, smirking as I pause it so the man's green blur can still be seen.

"Well well, looks like we have another two gifted person in town".
