Finally, the bus reached my house. I got out of the bus and waved goodbye to my classmates, who in return waved back at me with smiles on their faces. Opening the door, I said to myself, “Welcome back. “ I do this every day, not because I don’t have someone to wish me, but because I liked to do so. Probably the gift of my previous life.
In my previous life, I used to spend time alone in the house; so I welcomed myself like this every day. I saw my mom preparing dinner in the kitchen. I smiled and said, “I’m home, mom. “
My mom replied, “Alright sweet heart. Take a bath first. I would take out some snacks for you. Remember to place your clothes in the laundry basket, and your bag in the proper place. “ I nodded and said, “Alright mom. I am going to my room, and I would come down after taking bath. “
With that, I went upstairs and entered the bathroom, not before placi
If it were for me, I would have thrown this wounded person out. Not because I am inhumane, but because I don’t want problems with my family, because of some strangers. But then it turned out that this person wasn’t a stranger. Both my parents were familiar with this guy. When the wounded guy fell over me, I caught his burly body and laid it on the ground first.Then I slapped him lightly on his cheeks and asked, “Hey wake up. Who are you? “ Obviously, the wounded person didn’t reply to my question. And fortunately the electricity that was gone came back. And the wounded guy’s face was clearly seen because of the light.Mom recognised the wounded person, because she spoke, “Alexander! “ It turned out that the wounded guy was called Alexander Grace. He is a super, with a weird but dangerous power. Because of his power, he can transform from human to beast form.This ability gives
The talk finished there. I didn’t know the name if the organization and it was of no use to me. All this was a lot for someone like me, who always thought that I had a normal parent. But it seems like nothing about my life would be normal. I sighed softly.Mom, who came out of her shock, looked at her phone and called my dad for the last time. But the result was the same as before. It said the number to be switched off. But then mom said with a sigh, “Let’s just wait for Lucas. I believe he might be okay with his powers. It’s already late. Mike, you go to sleep, same with you Alex. “Both of us nodded reluctantly. Alexander limped and walked towards the guest room. This surprised me, because since the day I was born, I never saw this Alexander at our home. But he seemed to know his way around the house. Ignoring this, I walked up to my room along with mom, who turned to her room. I laid on the bed, not
The beast Alex grinned, while looking at me with his red eyes. He gave out a roar and quickly covered the distance between us. All this happened in a blink of an eye. His speed was so quick that a normal person would be dead in the beast’s hands ,ahem..claws.The beast punched at me with the same speed. My reflex is usually quicker than normal people. But unfortunately for me, the beast Alex’s speed was beyond my reasoning. So I got punched, then I flew across the room and crashed into the big mirror in the room. Obviously, it hurt me because the glass pierced my skin, and blood came out of the wound.The crashing sound was too loud, but the thunder and heavy rain outside were enough to muffle the noise of the fight, including the crashing and breaking. So this sound wasn’t enough to wake mom up.The beast Alex walled towards me on his four legs and came near me. He sniffed at me, probably to check if I was
After the call ended, mom went back to the kitchen, and I slumped on the couch watching the news. The news was the same thing from yesterday, the earthquake in Kyoto. But the news wasn’t the same in every manner. Because today the news channel declared supers/powered/mutants as terrorist, who often disrupt the peace of this world.I turned the volume down and then went directly towards the guest room, where I locked Uncle Alex . I would have opened the door already, but there was no sound coming from inside. So Uncle Alex hasn’t woken yet. He has made no noise. This had me a little worried, so instead of waiting for him to wake up; I thought of checking up on him.I walked up to the door of the guest room and closed my eyes, trying to listen what’s going on inside. But there was nothing going on inside. There were no sounds coming from inside.I pushed the door open after unlocking the door latches. Then I p
Since everything got decided, there were only two things that had to be done. First, we had to execute our plan. Second, I had to find the location of that school, which was Dad’s last known location. After ending the call, I walked to my mom’s room and called her ; since she had her door shut.When I knocked on her door while calling mom, her sound came from inside. “Wait a minute, honey. I am coming outside. “ So I waited for her and in a minute she came out and looked at me with questioning eyes. I looked at her, she looked at me. Finally, mom asked, “What is it? “I smiled and said, “Mom.. Ms. Morris called again. She said the trustees ordered them not to start the school today. They said although the lockdown is over, but the rage isn’t. “ Obviously, this was all my words, not the trustees nor Ms. Morris’s.Mom looked at me suspiciously. I returned her suspiciou
After the bus left, I returned inside the house. Uncle Alex, who had sat at the dining table previously, was now nowhere to be seen. Mom was watching TV in the living room. When she saw me coming from outside, she asked, “Where were you? “ I smiled and tried to say in an innocent voice, “Mia called me. Mia I, James and Nathan are planning to go to the park. “ She nodded.I quickly rushed upstairs and changed my clothes in a hoodie and track pants. I pulled the hood over my head and walked outside the house. When I walked outside, I saw that Nathan and James were standing outside my house.My steps quickened, and our eyes met. We nodded at each other in greeting, then we walked towards Mia’s house. It was just a few minutes away from my house. When we reached there, we found Mia standing at the gate of her house in a pink skirt.When she saw us... When she saw me, a bright smile formed on her face
Taking the bracelet from her hand, I looked at it deeply. Then, I stuffed it inside the pocket of my pants. I asked her in a calm tone, “Where did you find it?” She raised her right hand and pointed towards the palace and said, “Inside the door of the palace. “Nodding at her, I asked her to show me the exact place where she found it. Mia led our group inside the palace. The entire place was silent. Even our breathing could be heard clearly. When we stepped inside the palace, the room we entered looked like a living room.The walls were mostly demolished. The floor had spider web like cracks, which covered most of the room. There was a large TV and three couches. The couches weren’t in a good condition. Spring of the couch was coming out of the sponge. The TV.. it was also in a poor condition.To be more precise, it was broken into halves in the center. Mia continued leading us towards the place
I walked towards the gate of the palace like school. Mia tried stopping me because she was worried about me. Although I understood her motives, I still had to find my dad. I know he is my father in this life, but he is my father. I won’t lose another person related to me, like I did in my previous life.When she saw I didn’t stop even at her persuasion, with a worried look Mia followed me closely behind. My eyes fell on the foundation of the fountain. I noticed some difference than when I looked at it previously.It was thanks to my good observation skill. The foundation of the fountain was lifted from the ground by a few inches. Others would have missed this minor detail, but thankfully I knew where to look. Because I had felt the vibration and the roar of a beast from here.So with no hesitation, I dug my fingers under the foundation of fountain and pulled it upwards. I pulled it with all my strength, but the fo
