"Do I have a choice?" He said, staring straight into her eyes which were intensely searching his. "If I have a choice then I will be in for a bargain. I will willingly drop the position for someone more capable," "You are the only one that is capable, Thomas," Elise said. "I don't think anyone else could handle it better than you because if they could bear the burden it would have been given to them but you were chosen because you are different. You are strong, you are brave, you are a hero and until this is over we will always stand by your side, we will do that because we love and believe in you,"Thomas saw the sincerity in her eyes. Her words were so encouraging and he could feel it in his marrows. He was short of words and all he could do was stare."Thank you for believing in me, I will try my best not to let you all down," He said softly and she reached her hands to him, wrapping them around his palm."You won't fail us, I know we will all make it out together," She assured him
Elise was right, I should never have come in here and now I am stuck. Thomas thought to himself. He clenched his fist tightly as he stared furiously at Caleb."If you won't let me go, I will injure you so badly that you will have no other choice than to do as I say,""Now that's what I am talking about," Caleb smiled.Thomas attacked him furiously but all his attempts to touch Caleb were in vain. Not a single punch was able to get to him, all he did was make a fool of himself."I thought you were better than this, maybe you should try something more threatening," Caleb said and Thomas sprinted in again. driving many punches towards him but they all ended up in the air.His muscles were drained, and his arms felt weak from constant spinning not to speak if his last attempt which ran him Into the wall.Caleb laughed at him scornfully. He jerked, he scoffed. "This isn't working Thomas, you are really pathetic. I wonder how you were able to beat seven teacher in a fight with this feeble s
Back in the white room which was known as Caleb's little world. Thomas was seated in the posture of a monk, his hands resting on his two legs and his eyes shut."In order to master your powers you have to learn to relax. create a cage in your mind, put your anger and rage in the cage and let the cage drift into the deep," Caleb said while walking around him with his hands behind him."How do one make a cage and do all that in his mind," Thomas frowned still with his eyes closed."You have to find your means," "Maybe you will be more helpful if you stop making those creepy movements with your feet," Thomas answered harshly."If you can still hear the sound of my feet then you haven't been doing anything I had been saying. you must find a way to make the sound of my feet void and that comes to paying attention and using your imagination," "How am I supposed to listen to your voice and not your feet, that is insane," Thomas said, gritting his teeth. He couldn't hold his anger any longe
"Now that brings us to the last and most feared which are called the major Tribrid, the king is the first major Tribrid I've seen. I heard there are minor Tribrid but I haven't seen one before. I've heard they are also dangerous," Caleb said to Thomas who was listening attentively."What is the power of major Tribrid?" Thomas asked."Their power enables them to copy other people's abilities, making them have multiple specialties," Caleb replied."That's just one specialty, so why are they called Tribrid. Do they have an ability that is naturally theirs?" Thomas asked."No they don't, but trust me when I say they are very dangerous. When you see one fighting you will think it is a ghost. At a young age they are appear to be the weakest because they haven't seen much specialties to copy neither have they been able to mature those abilities but when they are old they become the strongest set of mutants," Considering Caleb's terms, if the king was over a thousand years old, also being th
Charles and Felix never had any more discussion until they arrived at their destination. When they walked inside Felix spotted a couch by his left which was facing a small furnace, he also saw a young lady seated on the couch with her eyes slowly a book but he didn't see her face since she was backing him and it was almost dark."Are you married?" Felix turned to Charles."What! No I'm not," He replied accompanied with a gentle laugh. "Then who is that?" "It's my friend, the one I was telling you about earlier," He replied."Maybe I should go and say hi," Felix said and when he was about to take a step Charles stopped him."Not yet. Come let's stalk these up on the shelf," Charles said.After putting the books inside the bookshelf by the right they both left for the place the young lady was. When they stopped before her she was so drawn to the book that she did realize their presence until Charles called her by name."Lily, are you okay?" He said."Yes, I guess I must have been carr
Felix remembered everything, He recalled her face and flashback of Lily's sister pleading for help, he could see the trace of blood which ran down her head as her soft hands struggled to cling on the edge of the cliff. He remembered Lily wailing for him to help them, the tears were so similar but what he never knew was their names neither did he bother to consider their faces.If only I had known I would have done things differently. Felix thought in regrets.His mind drifted back to the time before Thomas's arrival and before their escape from the Academy of madness.That cold evening they were all awoken by the sound of a loud bell which they all knew was an alarm that a race was about to begin.Felix jerked up from the bed, the whole Academy was on a run. He looked at the time on his wrist and it was a five minute countdown for everyone to gather at the main hall where they will be told what the task was.Felix's friends; Lori, Teresa and Jordan were with him. Felix and Jordan jump
It was already dark that evening and as a result of the gloomy sky. Felix, Jordan, Lori and Teresa were able to make it inside the boat without being spotted."Quick, we have to sail off before they realize," Jordan said. He handed one of the paddles to Felix and together they pushed the boat into the sea.The other two who were fighting weren't aware that their prize was already stolen and when they did it was already too late.Felix and Jordan had sailed off about twenty five meters away from the riverbank."Hey, come back here! That is my ride," One of them exclaimed, thrusting himself into the water to catch up with them but his opponent was more reasonable, he knew they had been played and there was nothing to do about it so he ran off to struggle for possession of a different boat.The other one kept swimming deeper into the water and after a while he realized he had already gone far from land so he stopped. "I know your faces, when this is all over I will hunt you all. I'll kil
That night they lost a dear friend, and even after a few years of her departure Felix still knew the smell of her blood and the frightening picture of her countenance which were visible under the moonlight Nevertheless those weren't the mistakes he made that haunted him the most because that night a similar tragedy occurred and this one was going to hunt him forever of he doesn't find a place of forgiveness.That evening while Teresa and Lori bowed their heads weeping over their lost friend Felix checked his wrist and their time was already far spent. They had only thirty minutes to return to the Academy before they all died."Jordan, we have to get out of here," Felix said as he looked up to him and Lori. He tapped them on the shoulder then repeated the same words but they were still reluctant."We can't leave her here, we have to take her back to the Academy and give her a befitting burial," Jordan said."We have twenty nine minutes left and if we don't return back to the Academy be
