The Dimensional Defenders : The Birth Of A Hero

Chapter 14

The lights of the Super Mart are blinking every 10 to 20 minutes and it's driving Adrian mad. Luckily, his shift is almost over for the day. Although asking for an early leave from the boss wasn't easy, he has to come back home early to keep an eye on his sister while she sleeps. If anything like today were to happen again, she needs to be reassured by him. Not that he doesn't trust his parents. He just thought that in a situation like this, it's better if he was the one reassuring his sister, considering he's the only person who listens to her more carefully than their parents.

A sudden surge of adrenaline flows through his heart and he had to hold onto his chest to keep himself together. This has been happening quite often these days. What is this weird feeling that I just can't control? He asks himself, monologing. Ever since he started listening more and more to his sister's stories, he's always had this weird feeling surging up in his body like a speeding flow of water after drinking a cup. He looked at his watch. 10.05 pm. "Great, quitting time." He exclaimed.

He packed his things from underneath the counter, punch his card and left the Super Mart. As the doors of the Super Mart closed behind him, he saw Rebecca with a few of her friends walking from afar. He figured about saying hi but considering what happened today, he decides to leave the place before hearing muffle gags from behind. Rebecca and her friends were about to get kidnapped. Adrian took out his phone and called 911 as he ran towards the scene.

His intincts were fast at times like these because his only thought is, what if his sister were to be in this situation? The only thing he could think is just saving them no matter if their enemies or allies. About just a few feet he puts his phone down and punches the masked guy who was gagging Rebecca. Rebecca had already passed out and that made him really mad. Girlfriend or not he is still a friend. The guy he punched passed out. Adrian stood firmly with his legs on ready position.

"The police are coming over. If you want to live to see the light, let my friends go and leave. NOW!" Adrian yelled fiercely. The 3 guys in the car were shocked, somewhat terrified as well. The guy in black who was standing at the sliding door of the van took the other two girls out from the van, threw them to the ground, closed the door of the van and left in hurry. Either freaked out because the police are coming or freaked out because of Adrian's anger.

He looked down and untied the two girls, Lisa and Luna. "Adrian, thank goodness you saved us. We thought we were gonners." Lisa spoke out after relief from a tight gag of a black bandanna. She then got up from her spot and went to check on Rebecca. Luna then spoke out curiously, "Why did you save us after what had just happened between you and Rebecca? That was actually a good chance for you to get revenge on her." Adrian had a scowl look on his face after hearing those words. "What are you talking about? Am I really that evil in front of Rebecca just because I look after my sister even more than her?"

Adrian was furious then his memory took back to the time when her sister was watching the story of Teen Wolf. Her sister told her these words, unforgettable and meaningful.

Enemy or allie, a person should never be treated badly no matter what unless if that person is a psychopath.

"Where did you learn that?" He asked her. "From Teen Wolf." She looked at his brother and smiled. As his memory passed, his gaze was now on Luna's eyes, locked. "A person once told me that no matter what that person is to you, you should help them when they need it." He said and got up. "The ambulance and police will be here soon. I have to leave now. You guys saw everything so it won't be much of a problem. Tell Rebecca that I'm sorry and advice her not to spread unwanted rumors about the person she hates." His last words made Lisa and Luna look at each other, speechless.

Adrian picked up his phone and bag and left the scene on his bike. His mind replaying everything that his sister ever told him about how to deal with twists and turns in life.

A true hero is a person who doesn't kill but let nature does it for him.

Strength of will is more powerful and energetic than physical strength itself.

Understanding life and how we can go through it is somehow my hobby.

Phrases upon phrases came into his mind as he biked through the...park? He looked at his surroundings and realized that he wasn't in the park anymore. All around him was pure darkness. No lights from the streetlights nor from the moon or stars. The surroundings is not like the park at all, he figured. As he biked even further in, he sees a circle of white light. And as he got even closer, he somehow slipped off his bike and made a huge clattering sound. The figures within that white circle of light looked at him.

They were all smirking at him. The guy in the middle with the scars from bottom to top sideways said with a hoarse voice, sounding very sinister, "Looks like our special one has finally arrived."
