Chapter three: Why

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM NOT DEAD HAHAHAHAHA. my laughter falls into tears as I get up from the bed and get dressed. I don't want to be here, not here but here as in alive I can't say I'm happy with the turn of events, but life is life, and life sucks. I've noticed that Travis isn't here, and I haven't heard from my mom at all. " Mom!" I yell across the tiny house to no avail. It's not like her at all to not respond. I walk out of my room to see the house trashed as a storm rolled through. I wonder if it stormed the last ni- it didn't. I know it didn't, but I know what happened last night. I run to my mom's room and go through her work stuff and find her teleporter cards, one for city A, one for city B, and one for city C. Funny it's like the cards were meant for me like the only reason I have these is that this was meant to happen or something I don't know anyway. I break into a full sprint down the stairs to the lower floors of the apartment complex. I don't stop running until I reach the teleporters. I swipe one of the cards and jump through before it finishes booting up. I end up on the other side and continue running and running until I reach the front gates and bust them down. The guards get sent back by a shockwave as I run past; I break down the doors where Anna and Paul and standing straight up and pointing high-velocity rifles at me. I suddenly get furious, and my vision goes dark only for a second, and when I regain control, I hear maniacal laughter, then I see them lying on the floor, still breathing. Thank God, but I can't focus on them. I run to the elevator shaft and rip open the doors and see the elevator is on the twentieth floor. With no time to waste, I jump up to the eighth floor and once again rip open the doors to see Travis fully grown to meet me. Once he sees it's me, he goes back down to size " no time to explain, let's go." he must have heard the anger and sadness in my voice because he grabs me, and we fall to the bottom floor. He sees his mom and dad on the ground and looks at me with surprise. I walk past them and stand in the courtyard, where Travis swipes his card in the air, and a teleporter opens up in front of us.

I run in, and he follows to where we get Jonas. They follow me to the central teleporters as now they don't know where I'm going. I swipe the last card and give it back to Travis so he and Jonas can get through. Now we are in city C. When Travis and Jonas come through, they realize what we are doing. They open their mouths to speak, but an unknown force stops them as I hold up my hand, " I know, I know, but they are needed." I don't like them, but they are needed. We walk down an alley, and I lifted a trash can lid, and a number pad came out. I typed in a series of numbers, and we heard a loud buzzer sound. I got even angrier. I punch the ground and continue to hit the ground. My fists turn bloody, and my bone starts showing Travis and Jonas we're about to come up behind me to stop me, but the earth came down into a room with close to fifty people in it, all had powers activated, and guns pointed at our heads I may have gotten a little angry.

The guns magically combust and crumple onto the ground. I manage to calm down and stand up " what's with the powers, assholes." I say, smiling, " where's the boss? I need to speak to them." they point to the office powers still trained on me as I open the door to see the boss, someone I used to work for, and my ex. Her name is Scarlett; she is absolutely terrifying, and I know because she was also kinky, she'll kill me if I say anything more than I was the dom. Whenever I was in a jam, she was always there to help me out; she is five-eleven but will be eleven-eleven over you if you piss her off. I know because I pissed her off and was buried alive, which was fine by me as I got food and water and no people to bother me. So it worked out great anyway; forget about the ex I may or may not want to get back with; we have other things at hand "ah, Alex, how are you darling still disobeying people?" She says with a sly grin that turns into a fake innocent look; it always angered me how she would get me every time with that look she still does. I immediately forget why I was angry; you would think it would be apart of her power, but no, she has the power to know anything and everything at the moment noticed she could have been great. Still, since her mom died after birth and her father was a drunk and then died when she was 13 so she was sent to a home where she was almost defiled then she started a gang at the age of 15 then she met me, and I ran with them I don't know why they took me in. However, they did, and I was and still am eternally grateful to them, "always, why would I not cause trouble? I wouldn't be able not to start trouble; my life would be boring." I say with a fake smile; it turns to stone, "listen, I need Joe, Jorden, and commie bobby, and you." "why?"

" mom has been taken." my mom always happily let them in the house whenever they needed it, so everyone who knew me knew my mom, especially Scarlett, as Carroll is the one who stopped the guy from hurting Scarlett. so like lightning, she was ready to battle; she grabbed everyone and came back to me," where is she anyway?" "City F Pearson's house, I'm sure you of all people know where that is." "wait, you came here without knowing where your prey was; you never learn, do you." "By the way, why do you need commie bobby since we are making a house call? He fixes things." "I broke your ceiling," I say, smiling, scratching the back of my neck sheepishly. " WHAT do you have powers we don't know about," Scarlett says, surprised as she is used to knowing everything; it is an exciting look. She saw me looking at her and gave me a deathly stare. " Anyway, can we go now?" I grab Scarlett, Josh, and Jordan by extending my arms, then I stretched my legs and got out of the hole; she looked horrified but intrigued. I think the horrified look was from my bones cracking. I smile at her and catch up with Travis and Jonas, who got out by Jonas being thrown and Travis just stepping out by turning into a giant; we run to the teleporters, and Travis swipes the card, and Scarlett goes in; then one by one, we all go in, and Scarlett leads us to Pearson's house.

Hi, me again, narrator, the one who said he wouldn't be around much; well, I'm here again hehe Because I want to leave this on a cliffhanger, I will tell you a story of how Alex joined the red spades. It started when I was eleven years old, and my mom and I were out looking at the town during winter, kind of like we always do when we hear a scream. I looked around, but it looked like no one else heard it. I turned back to my mom, and she wasn't there. I spotted her over by an alley. I ran after her and saw the source of the scream a girl who couldn't have been any older than me getting attacked by a man who had to be in his late teens' the early twenties. He was ripping off her clothes, and only her special parts were covered; my mom stepped in and pulled him off of her and knocked him out in one swift punch. I guess that's what you have to learn when you live in city F (All orphanages are in city F while Scarlett lives in city C because of her powers, but Because of her parents' death, she has to live in city F until she is old enough to own a house. The government will provide a place for her to live in until she gets on her feet like everyone else, even in city F though they get worse houses sadly, the government does not care about the lower power class.)

Talking to the girl and speak in the softest voice I can manage. I end up saying as a baby fox; she laughs; I heard it the first time I at that moment I realized I would do anything to hear it again no matter what I smile and laugh with her. "Hi, my name is Alex." "Scarlett," she responds timidly. I smile again and take off my winter jacket and give it to her and stand up. I hold out my hand, and she takes it. I look at my mom as she's on the phone with the police, " Mom, can we take her to get something to eat?" She smiles and nods, then she gets off the phone and kneels to get eye level with Scarlett " hey, do you want to get some new clothes and some food?" Scarlett nods, and so my mom stands up and grabs Scarletts' hand; we head off to a shop (Just because they are in city F doesn't mean they don't have a reasonable amount of money Carroll works for the top of the top, so she gets enough money.) we buy her clothes and get something to eat then we see the police and hand her off to them. Fast forward two years later, I am thirteen, and I am heading to school when I see a familiar face. Still, I can't seem to place it, so I walk over to her and say hello I ask where I know her from. She looks me up and down, then moves her hair out of the way, and then I recognized her " your Scarlett right." suddenly, I have a knife at my throat and two guns pointed at my face " Woah Woah hey, what's the problem is that how you greet people who save you from well you know when you were thirteen what happened." She looks surprised, and then I notice that she activated her powers and comes back to earth and looks at me with surprise. "Alex?" she says questioningly. I nod, and she lets go of the knife, and it falls to the ground, and she hugs me. I was quite surprised and taken back, but I hugged her back " I didn't think I would see you again; how are you? I see you have some friends." I nod to the men holding the guns at my head; still, she looks back and slaps them both. "Sorry about that." " all good." she laughs, and of course, I can't help but laugh as well, "so what is going on anyway?" She explains that she started a gang called the Red spades and that it will be a place for unwanted kids and such, so they don't have to go to an orphanage " Hey, you know what, how would you like to join us?" I nod as I have nothing to lose. Later on, the gang was beaten by another gang Scarlett, and a couple of others went ballistic and well killed the entire gang and were nicknamed the red killers, and the name stuck. That's how Alex joined the red spades; later on in life, he was convinced to leave and broke up with Scarlett and left, but that is another story for another time.
