“Hey, nurse, let me help you up the truck. Are you sure you'll be okay alone?” He asked.“Don't be silly, Tobi. I'll be fine. And I can get on a truck by myself. We were taught certain things when I was still serving as a military nurse.”“Alright!” He raised his hand in surrender.“Go in and go help Elijah. It's already 2 am.”He nodded and turned around. As he was going in, Elijah was coming out with two boxes in his hands.“Hey,” he whispered. “For a god of war, you sure are lazy. You should be carrying about five boxes.”“How about I punch you in the face instead?”“Wow, you've gotten so violent.” He shook his head and continued into the warehouse.Elijah smiled as he walked to the truck. Only when he raised his head and saw the nurse already in the car did he realize the fault in their plan.He couldn't throw the boxes at her. They'd rip apart. “Hey, what's the delay?”He was about to explain when he saw a button at the side of the truck with an image. Pushing his luck, he press

After an hour of driving, Elijah stumbled on a roadblock, which led to heavy traffic.The day was getting brighter, and many cars were already out and about. The City had never been this busy before. There was a shift in the air, and everyone went toward the wind.As his truck stopped behind Tobias, he pushed his head outside the window and stretched his neck to see if he could find the source of the traffic. Unfortunately, his eyes couldn't see beyond the cars before him.As he strained, his phone rang. Without pulling his head back, he reached behind and searched the dashboard for the device. He didn't see it and moved to the compartments of the car. There, he found it. “Hello?” He answered and tucked the phone in his ears.“Hey bro, do you have any idea what's happening?” His eyes went to Tobias directly before him, and he rolled his eyes.“Do I have superpowers? We're both stuck.”“Uhmm, yeah. Yeah, you do have superpowers.”He hung up the phone and withdrew his head.“What the f

He washed his hands with the remaining saline. Feeling all eyes on him, he tried to look as usual and professional as possible. He knew it didn't take much for rumors of magicians to spread. After all, he wasn't a magician but a god.Touching the boy's chest again, he closed his eyes and concentrated.“What is he doing?” Someone asked.“Perfume? Can I get a strong fragrance?” He asked. “I have one.” A woman stepped forward.“Spray it on his nose,” he ordered.“What are you doing, man? That's a dead body, and you're breaking the law,” one of the paramedics said.“Shut up! You couldn't save my son. He's about to do it. Leave him alone so he can concentrate.”“Alright.” He threw his hand up in surrender.The woman did as she was told and sprayed the perfume all over his nose.He tried again, this time successfully blocking out the noise. His hand touched his life force, and his ring flared. No one else saw it—no one except him.His hand moved from his chest to the big wound behind him.

Elijah gasped and opened his eyes.“Elijah!”He quickly ducked.“What's wrong with him?” Snow barked.“Is he okay?” Tobias asked behind the nurse.“Elijah?” “Touch me, and I'll kill you!” He suddenly blurted out.“What is his problem?” Snow said.“What is your own—” he was countering when he lifted his head and whipped it to the side. “Snow?”“No! Captain Grey.” He rolled his eyes.Elijah flinched. “How do you know Mr grey? Is this some dream again? Are you ever real?”“Stop acting like a freak, freak!” Snow turned around and walked away. “I think I understand what's going on with him now.” Nurse bobbed her head.“Explain it to me please, cus I'm lost.”“A nightmare, perhaps?”“At two in the afternoon?” Tobias' face scrunched with disbelief.“Elijah? Can you hear me?” The nurse tried again.“Wait, please,” he said and held his head.It throbbed painfully. Everything that happened to him was real; maybe it was real, and this was another trap so he could let his guard down.“Elijah? I

“What exactly do you plan on doing to stop him? Because he'll come for your position more than any of us. It's a Dr Bane situation all over again, right?” Nathan instigated.He waved nothing more but for people to hate Elijah as much and even more than he did. Although, he didn't think the latter was possible. He was a self-proclaimed Elijah's biggest hater, and he reveled in that fact.“Nothing like that is going to happen. Elijah will not be taking anyone's position, especially not mine. The one thing we should focus on right now is opening that damned door.”“I Know!” Colin suddenly snapped a finger.Two heads turned in his direction at the same time. Two pairs of curious brows lifted. One hand gestured for him to speak. Another mouth hissed impatiently.“We could find a cold hacker that would help. Bring them in, they do their thing, and we pay them off. What'd you think?”“It's good. I can call Kingston to find one. He knows the route to the warehouse, so it'd be easy for him. Pl
