ONCE BULLIED: LYON ARMSTRONG IS BACK.

Two.

Lyon felt like he was on the cloud and he could also feel his spirit leave his body. He didn’t need anyone to tell him that he was dead because he knew the distance from the rooftop to the ground.

He thought that the way he was feeling was a feeling of death and as he almost gave up, a bright light came on from his chest. It was so bright that it shined everywhere.

He thought he was dreaming until he remembered that the light was coming from the same spot where his amulet was. He remembered his parents gave it to him to keep and he kept it safe for ten years.

He groaned as he felt a strong, powerful force pull his spirit back into his body and his chest heaved as he pulled up like he had been touched with electricity.

He could also hear his heart beating rapidly like a drum, he felt life coming back to him and he had no idea what was going on, he was confused because he thought that he was supposed to be dead.

“What is happening to my body?” Lyon thought to himself as the light kept shining. He could feel powers surging through his veins and his wounds were healing.

He felt his bones snapping and getting back in shape, he knew that he must have broken a lot of bones from the fall. Lyon opened his mouth to scream in pain because of what was happening to his body.

He shouted but the light and what was happening didn’t allow his voice to be heard by anyone. It was so painful that Lyon couldn’t handle it and before the power could finish resonating with his body, he fainted.

“Lyon,” a voice jolted him awake, it still felt like a miracle to Lyon because he couldn’t believe what was happening and he also had no idea how long it had been since he passed out.

“Lyon, wake up! Can you hear me? Wake up, Lyon.” The voice said, shaking him awake and Lyon grunted in pain as he struggled to open his eyes.

He saw an old woman with a white coat standing over him, he had never seen the woman before and he had no idea where she came from but he could see that she was glad to know that he was alive.

Seeing that Lyon woke up, everyone cheered. They clapped and they wouldn’t stop talking about how it was a miracle to have witnessed what happened to the boy that was once at the verge of death.

“Do you know what happened to you, Lyon?” The woman asked but Lyon only kept staring at her, he couldn’t say anything because he was still trying to wrap his head around it all.

How could a mere amulet save his life like that?

“Anyway, you healed all by yourself from a very serious injury and it’s a miracle, you don’t see that very often.” The woman explained and Lyon only nodded.

She came forward and wanted to check his body but Lyon knew that no matter how hard they tried, they weren’t going to find anything. He knew that there’s no medical term for what happened to him.

The amulet was what saved his life and he made up his mind to keep it a secret from everyone because he knew that they could try to take the amulet from him.

Days passed and after multiple tests and research, the doctors were unable to find any abnormalities in Lyon’s body and they soon gave up.

“We couldn’t find anything so you can leave the hospital and resume your normal life.” The doctor said to him and Lyon was happy to go back to the university.

He remembered Flora and he felt like he was going to get the chance to see her again and maybe this time they would both get to talk but he was shocked when he walked into his class.

His jaw dropped and he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Michael was sitting on his post and Flora was sitting on his lap.

They were laughing and from the way they held each other, Lyon could tell that there was some intimacy going on.

Michael hadn’t noticed Lyon until someone mentioned his name and Michael saw him. His face turned into a frown when he saw that Lyon was still alive.

The rest of the bully gang were also scared to see that Lyon was back but none of them could say anything about it to avoid being questioned. Michael’s face twisted when he saw Lyon.

Only Lyon knew the truth about what they did to him.

Michael couldn’t handle it, he didn't want Lyon to start talking about how they had pushed him off the rooftop by accident and how he was supposed to be dead so he stood up at once.

He stormed to Lyon and pulled him by his shirt to the rooftop with the rest of his gang and Flora and when they got there, he forcibly pushed Lyon aside.

Lyon’s fist clenched, he could still feel the powers going through his veins and deep down he knew that he wasn’t the same coward that he used to be because of his new found powers.

“What are you doing here?!” Michael snarled at him but Lyon only gritted his teeth, he wasn’t looking for a fight and he was merely happy to be alive and back to school.

“What do you mean what am I doing here?” Lyon retorted, “what do you want from me?” He added but Michael only snarled before pulling Lyon again.

He held his neck like he was about to choke him but Lyon didn’t choke or move and Michael had no other choice but to release him.

Michael was angry that Lyon now had the nerve to talk back at him and ask him questions, something he couldn’t do before because he was a coward.

“I’m going to say this only once,” Michael sneered through gritted teeth, “you’re going to keep the secret of what happened on the rooftop that night.” He finished.
