Gifted

Chapter Seventeen

I walked through the busy streets to clear my mind. I got here early and didn't tell Gabe, Abigail or Clive about my whereabouts.

I saw Normals looking at me with pure hatred in their eyes, but I got used to it. They were the least of my problems at this moment, so I just ignored them.

"Help me!" someone shouted in the distance. People just ignored the call for help and continued walking, minding their own business.

The shouting became louder and louder. I looked around and ran towards the source until I saw a man lying on the ground, writhing in agony.

I kneeled down beside him and started to panic. He held my hand tightly and begged me to put him out of his misery.

"Hey! Someone call 911!" I yelled as I looked around, but no one listened, they didn't even bother to look at the man. Dammit! These people are so selfish!

"You'll be fine, sir. Don't wo-" I gasped when I looked back down to see the man. He was covered in blood and didn't move anymore.

I shrieked as I fell back when I noticed the man died. His head turned around and he faced me.

"You did this to me." he said.

I wanted to move backwards but people stood behind me or better said, they surrounded me. I bumped into someone's leg with my back and when I looked up, I saw Liam looking at me with a frightened expression.

I got up and hugged him tightly, but he didn't hug me back. Instead, he pushed me away immediately.

"L-Liam, I didn't... h-he just.." I stammered. All of these people thought I killed this man, even Liam did...

"Liam please ju-" I stopped talking when Liam held his gun to my forehead.

"You killed him." he said without any emotion.

"You killed him." all the others around me said at the same time, they kept repeating it over and over again.

"You are just like them." Liam said, the others repeated the same sentence after him.

"I didn't do... Listen to me!" I screamed to shut everyone up, but their voices became louder.

I covered my ears when they started to call me out. Murderer, I.T., You killed him, You're no different than the others,...

I pushed them away and ran back to the other side, I wanted to go home. Right now. People stopped walking and suddenly, everyone started to call me out.

I ran harder and pushed everyone out of my way, until I saw Gabe and Abigail standing a little bit further. They turned around and looked at me with a cold expression.

"Guys, help me..." I said as I approached them, but they backed away and smiled.

"We know what you did." Gabe smiled.

"I didn't know you had it in you, you finally embraced your true self." Abigail laughed.

"No! Listen to me! I didn't do anything!" I screamed but they didn't listen to me.

Gabe walked towards me and turned me around. He held his hand on my chin to make me look around while the other one was on my waist.

"Look at what you did." he laughed in my ear. I looked around and saw all the people lying on the ground, blood everywhere.

I screamed in terror and wanted to look away but Gabe turned my head back to look at it. Tears streamed down my cheeks when I saw the horrifying sight for a second time.
