This went on for some time until the alien tried to make November still, but he took a high leap and landed next to his bleeding friends."Get inside the school," he told them."But we can't leave you out here to fight this thing," Macey interjected. She was bleeding from her ears and her nose. Same as Sebastian. "It could kill you," fear and worry were evident on her face."Get inside, now!" November yelled at them."Let's go, Mace." Sebastian clasped her hand in his and pulled her reluctant body from November. They finally made it to school and November turned to face the alien-monster, fully prepared for it this time.It drew closer to him and waited, accessing the boy with his eyes until it figured out he was like them, only different."Why do you have to eat innocent people, you asshole!" November yelled at the top of his lungs. He was beyond enraged to be scared by this beast of an alien.It gave off a non-stop grunt as it accessed November's inwardly abilities, before opening i
Sheriff Brightside was in a coma when they arrived at the hospital and just family was allowed in, so November and Sebastian stayed behind while a weeping Macey and frightened Quentin rushed in to meet their dad.November couldn't fathom his feelings, it was pitiful to see the almighty Sheriff Brightside in a coma and with a broken leg that was hung in a different direction. Never on earth did it cross his mind that someone like Sheriff Brightside could be in such a position, the man was like some god because a lot of people looked up to him regarding criminal cases and a lot more. He was an unbiased man who did things fairly, neither did he settle with some ill judgments of the city's mayor. November wasn't a fan of Sheriff Brightside, maybe he'll take it that he was jealous whenever he saw Sheriff Brightside caring for his children because it made him yearn to be cared for that way. Reminded him a lot about his dad. It just felt so surreal to him in such a position through the wi
November woke up two hours later and saw Sebastian staring down at him from where he laid on the hospital bed. He was confused at first, wondering what the hell happened and why he felt so exhausted, until Sebastian announced, "He's awake!"Macey flew away from her chair and ran towards him, including Quentin and their father. He was like some sort of God in their eyes at this point, because he did the last thing they expected of him. Straightened a broken bone, took all the pains, and had his own leg broken. Who in the world could be so sacrificial? When the man wasn't even his father. It was Marion County's Sheriff who warned his daughter to stay away from him and made him feel he shouldn't have gone to search for his missing sister. Even Sheriff Brightside felt sort of ashamed as he reached the boy's side. It was just unbelievable, he thought he was going to stay with a broken leg for a year or two. Start from a wheelchair and then graduate to clutches. But his savior, November C
"How did you come to know about this place, Mace?" November asked Macey as he looked around the surroundings that seemed like it contained only thieves. Cramped-looking apartments everywhere in the rough environment. "I'm sure no civilized person lives here. Only uncultured people.""Place looks like where they deal on drugs," Sebastian added, furrowing his brows. "Seems dangerous for a girl, mostly a girl like you."A beefy-looking man who was smoking weed side-stepped them, not before failing to glare at them one by one as if he was an animal in his past life and they did him no justice."I wonder how Sheriff Brightside and Quentin Brightside would feel when they figure their daughter and younger sister visit people who live in the slumps," November muttered bitterly, staring at the man's head."Calm down, guys. My friend doesn't have enough money to afford a better place. Weekly rents are cheap here." Macey rolled her eyes, and as they carried on walking immediately the man cast a
Did he want to be popular?His mom made him promise he'd not use his quirks anymore, that he should keep it buried within him because she was scared of losing him to the government.But he had broken that promise already. He couldn't let people die because of his promise. People needed rescuing.She'd be unable to know it's him when she sees the boy in a super suit. He could always keep a low profile where she wouldn't suspect him of anything, and then he would go about with his intentions.Perfect."Do you want to try it on?" Sebastian asked November."Yeah, I'd like.." he didn't conclude with this when he tapped on the watch and the suit immediately fastened itself on his body, with the mask covering every part of him except his eyes."Woah!" Came the chorused exclamation and he felt on top of the world as he looked at himself in the mirror."I feel like a superhero, like Spiderman." He confessed, his voice sounded different, way masculine. Styles had sure inputted a voice changer a
It was evening when November went home on a speed with the super suit neatly packed in a paper bag. He would hide it from his mom and so she wouldn't have any idea he was N in case she met him anywhere.Upon reaching the front door, he could sense something wasn't right. The whole environment was normal, however, there was this quiet mysteriousness surrounding his home.He pushed the door open and stepped in. The first sight he behold was his younger sister, Stacey, fast asleep on the couch in front of the TV. Her stuffed toy on the floor.Beside her was a plate of half-eaten cheerios in dried milk, however, something was bizarre. It felt like she wasn't breathing because her small chest wasn't rising and falling as she slept. Could it be that she knew she was coming and had faked being asleep?He doubted because her eyelids could've been quivering.Drawing to her side, he bent and observed his sister. Waved his hand in front of her face but she didn't move. Worry captured his head im
Song for this chapter - Wrecked by Imagine Dragons. __________"How did you know I have a basement in my caravan?" Styles stared at November in wonder, but the boy didn't respond. He took out the wood on the floor and opened the door immediately.Everyone else was shocked, mostly Styles. He wondered how November knew where he had his own small lab.The boy was inside the lab already, turning the lights on. How was it even possible he could do that when he had never been to Styles' apartment before?November's eyes swerved through everything at a speed. Of course, he had seen them all before.He walked over to where his super suit lay with a counterpane covering it.While everyone else stared back at him in wonder. They couldn't understand a single thing he was doing, but he seemed to know his way around. Knew where the super suit was."Has he been here before?" Macey asked no one in particular, for they were all perplexed."The name tag was Macey's own idea because.." "I know."Styl
The entire city was moving to the city's hall according to the order imposed by the Mayor, Bill Andrews. Shops were being closed down, people were locking up their houses, fleeing from the office, and more. The video of November fighting the alien monster had spread through Marion County like wildfire and the November's audiotaped conversation with Sheriff Brightside. It was all over the internet and was on everyone's lips.November could see this from the rooftop. He wanted people away from their homes and together in one place because the alien monster tended to hurt people when it was going through excruciating distress.For a moment he couldn't believe the city was moving because of him. A common sixteen years old boy who they'd walk past without even sparing a glance. It felt surreal but this was no child's play, it had to do with the lives and families of people. He didn't want anyone to get consumed again that was why he had Sheriff Brightside contact the Mayor and then the vide
