There was a sudden chilly breeze when the wind blew within that ghost town.The patrols that were wandering the streets could feel their skins crawling, sensing that weird, electrical sensation that was suddenly felt through the air.One fellow took out his radio, but frowned, noticing that it was dead. He turned to his companion, pointing at the guy’s device. The other man tries his own but ended up with the same result.They hear a loud clank from the distance, causing them to joint, quickly raising their guns where the sound came from.The mist made it hard to see, so the men felt that eerie sense within the atmosphere, sending chills down their spine.The two trembled when they notice a shadow walking their way. Its form was odd, having a bulky figure and an almost square like shape.“Freeze! Identify yourself.”The officer yelled, feeling that itch in his fingers that were on the trigger.Both could hear their hearts throbbing inside their chest, shaking in fear at the unknown th
The doctors continued checking in on private Chris when they got back.From the looks of it, he didn’t have any kind of physical wounds. But from another perspective, there was a problem with his way of interaction.As per a professional point of view, his mannerisms and reactions were that of slightly being in shock along with a certain level of posttraumatic stress disorder.The reason for it, they did not know, as they could get nothing out of the soldier because he’d kept saying that he couldn’t remember anything.So, being affiliated with the ability user before, special sergeant Raynald Sanchez had put it upon himself to make sure that sir Chris was properly cared for.“Do you feel this?”The doctor continued probing on the fellow’s body.The fellow had gashes and wounds all over him that seemed to have come from cuts and punctures, and his physical figure had changed from a petite youth to a rather muscular man.“Yes.”the guy nodded.“Please follow the light.”The sergeant pon
“Oliver, over here.”The voice called out from afar. The man was standing on the other side of the street.He quickly rushes to him, smiling as he waves at him in sheer joy.Officer Oliver Gently couldn’t help but smile, seeing a familiar face after a long time.After the incident a few years ago, which enabled him to gain powers and got listed as a power user.The guy had risen to rank in the military. From a measly rank D class, he was now considered a class B after his achievements and the growth of his abilities.“Sergeant!”He gave a quick salute to the fellow.Another officer who had come into position because of the same situation as he was.Of course, they deemed Raynald Sanchez class B from the start. The moment his other powers awakened, the government promptly administered him as a class A.The two had agreed to meet up in a coffee shop in the city, as the man wanted to have a chat with him.Oliver, being the guy he was, did not pass up the chance to once again get acquaint
“We spotted him wandering around area seventy-five.”Raynald continued.Noticing how dumbstruck the young officer was.The guy remained gaping, mouth moving for several times, but could not say any word.He found it humorous watching the fellow try to recuperate, forcing himself to regain that soldier like composure he had a while ago, but failed miserably.It took him all his strength to keep his face straight, holding on to his laughter as he watch Oliver prattle on.Then again, there was no blaming the poor kid, considering the shock of the news was too exceptional that he reverted instantaneously to that childlike state of his.The guy had fawned over power users so much that when he had met one who had given him such attention; it turned into instant idolization, especially after receiving that gift of becoming one himself.Of course, nobody could confirm this theory, but seeing as their country was the only one to do it, meant that it had some semblance to the reality.“Wait, th
“How is sir Chris?”Oliver asks.Finally, having the guys’ attention and interest, Raynald did not hesitate to answer. There was no reason for him to stall anymore, also he was itching to tell him about the current situation of the man.“Though he looks fine. I cannot really say much about his well being.”He heaved a sigh, remembering the sorry state of the special private. The way he kept mumbling during the whole check up about monsters, and then the numerous wounds he saw, he can’t be sure that the guy was all right.“What do you mean?”That made the young officer frown, swallowing hard because of the sudden nudge in his chest.“I think something happened to him inside that mist. And I can assure you, it wasn’t pleasant.”After many accounts of attack reported by patrols, and all those marks of scratches and bites on sir Chris’s equipment.He was certain that there was a mystery within that white fog that they were unaware of. The only problem is, he could not find any kind of pro
“Actually, it’s been proven that no such thing exist, but what if instead of a man-made device, it was really a natural phenomenon?”Oliver states.Once the sergeant hears that, his pale complexion turned, changed, and returned to its usual color.Yet, it still reached the guy a few moments to fix himself from his seat, clearing his throat to calm down from that sudden sense of shock that he recovered from.“Sorry, you lost me there.”Raynald had to shake his head in order to wake himself up from that daze he got stuck in.They took that minute to have a sip of their drinks, seeing that the ice in their glasses had melted and mixed with the liquid.The moment of silence gave them both a chance to take a breather and gather their thoughts.“What if the mist was a portal to some other place where the beast are coming from?”Oliver starts.His gaze was again stern, looking straight at his companion. There was this deep shadow while he stared. Unable to disguise that foreboding sense that
The moment they stepped into the place, the powerful smell of that medicine and alcohol assaulting their noses, piercing straight into their brains like some drill.The room was big enough for ten people but only had a single bed in the middle, mirrors on all sides, with a neat white tile on the floor and cushions on the wall.There, sitting on his mattress, was the guy they were looking for, rocking back and forth, as he could not move much because of the jacket that looped around his body.“What did you do to him?”Raynald’s voice boomed, glaring at the fellow wearing a white lab coat upon laying eyes on the special private.Yet he only received a bored gaze from the staff, even having the gall to raise a brow from the reaction.“Doctor’s orders.”The man shrugs like it was nothing.“What do you mean? He was fine when you took him from out of our camp!”No longer able to hold on to his anger, the sergeant grabs on to the medic’s collar.The guy flinched and gasp when he got hoisted
“The doctor said he’s fine and there’s nothing to worry about.”Oliver sighed.The lad takes another look inside the room. The private was asleep, peacefully laid on the bed. Thankfully, not much transpired during their ride home.They took him to Oliver’s house that day; it being secured and within the city.“But what the hell just happened back there?”Raynald grumbled.He still could not believe that his body reacted out of fear from the attack.Even though he was confident with his own powers and invulnerability, something in his mind told him that the man’s punch was dangerous and could have very well harmed him.Just remembering it gave him goosebumps all over, causing his entire being to tremble in terror.“They agitated sir Chris with what they did.”Was all the lad could say, forcing a smile like it was not a big deal.Opposite the old officer, the chill that he was feeling right now was because of sheer excitement.The thought of how the man moved and reacted even when sedat
