Chapter Four: The world goes on

We arrive at Pearson, and I am Fuming and can not take this anymore. I extend my limbs, and it turns to stone as I destroy the door and foundation.

Time stops. I walk up to the crumbling house and spot Pearson and his family, and I throw them out of the house. I go to the basement and find my mom Tied up, and in despair, I grab her gently and move her outside the house, and time resumes, and I see my mom and Pearson and my friends and smile, something I haven't done in I can't remember how long. Then I pass out; funny, I wake up in a hospital room freaking out because we can not afford a hospital visit, but my mom looks relieved, and I see scarlet and the gang. "What happened? Why did I pass out?" My mom responds, "well, you came to rescue me with your friends, and Pearson knocked you out." I shake my head " No, No time stopped. I had powers I don't understand; I can't feel anything now." She chuckles and returns to a worrying state.

"Honey, I'm sorry you've never had superpowers like that. I wish you did," she says, but I can not help but not believe her; she looks away as if I am peering into her soul to find if she is lying but can not find anything. I look at my friends. "Scarlett, please tell me you saw me." she stays silent " TELL ME!" I scream as my grip on reality loosens; she flashes a dangerous look but also restraint, sadness, and I believe terror; her eyes then go bright again, and she laughs, " Stupid come on, we all know you don't have powers." Once again, Her eyes flash with anger but not towards me anymore but towards my mom; strange I look to everyone in the room, and they either nod or look away; then I lay my eyes on Travis and Jonas, and they smile and wave and walk out which broke my heart them just walking out. I turn my head and fall asleep.

~~~~Before Alex woke up~~~~

"You can not tell him," Carroll said with worry; protest broke out; she then cut out the lights and back on again. "If the higher-ups or god forbid the council was to find out that someone that powerful lives more powerful than them and them above, he will die no matter where we go, he will die." It shut them up quickly. Scarlett raised her hand, and Carroll nodded to her. "Fine, we won't talk," she looks back at Joe and Jordan; they open their mouths and shut them again to nod; she looks back at Carroll, " We will have a conversation about this later." Both Travis and Jonas nod to the statement as well " Very well; we will have a conversation later." Just as she finished, Alex Started to stir in his sleep, and they all got quiet.

~~~~Present~~~~

Well, the doctor came in and said I was okay. He looked like someone I knew but couldn't put my finger on it; he prescribed me some medicine for anything I might feel later on; they looked slightly like my depression medication, but I digress. I say goodbye to Scarlett; she lets me know if I ever need anything to come over; of course, I make a joke "anything you say," I say with my eyebrows raised "hmm, I will take you up on that offer." I get slapped for it. We went home; I took my stuff and went to sleep. Over and Over again, I am in the same position. I get to the house, and my friends are there, and they rush in. I follow after, and I find them dead, and I see my mom and Pearson over top of them. I scream, and the dream restarts, and fewer of my friends are around until it's me, and I walk in and no one there. I walk downstairs, and my mom is dead with my friends surrounding her.

I blink, and they are around me, and they are screaming and screaming about how I killed them all. I fall to the floor and sob and continue to apologize. I jolt awake and cry and cry throughout the night as night turns to day. I am still crying; I wipe my face go to the bathroom and splash my face and get ready for the day; as I walk back to my room to grab my backpack, I see my door kicked in. I shake my head and walk-in and tap Travis on the shoulder; he jumps a foot in the air and hits his head on the ceiling; I laugh fakely and grab my backpack, and we head out. I didn't even see my mom, which is strange, but I can't concentrate on her. I walk to school. I walked up to Jonas, and he smiled weakly and turned away strange; when I walk in, everybody stops and staring at me.

I got a passion in my pants, and I ain't afraid to show it show it show it. Ahem, anyway, I look around to find that everyone is looking at me, but they look away as I look at them. I try to find Pearson to ask what happened, but I can't see him anywhere weird I go to my classes and my teachers all hold me after class asking If I'm okay. I think something is up. I know I'm not the smartest, but I feel like there is something afoot here, but I can't put my finger on it. Well, I got out of school, and no one was there with me, not Travis Nor Jonas. "This is weird," I say to myself nervously. I walk home and do the work assigned and hop on the computer and hop on accord and message both Travis and Jonas and wait then I wait and wait some more after what feels like eight hours, I head to sleep and dream the same dream as last night. It got so bad that I got up to get a glass of water. As I'm walking out, I see two figures in the living room and I so I hide and start to overhear the conversation " you saw it he has the same powers as him we can't let anyone who saw them live it is too dangerous!" the strange man whispers quietly "No they are children and his friends and they all swore to secrecy, the family that he attacked don't remember anything everything is under control." that sounds like my mother but why is she talking to this strange person "I- you want to believe that but I we both know that is just not true no matter how much we both want to believe it they need to be taken care o-" he is cut off "You do know that once Alex hears that one of his friends was hurt in anyway he will go on a rampage he has his power and he is only 16 years old imagine twenty or more he will be unstoppable, hell he's unstoppable now and you want to try him not even if your whole organization would go and try I am not certain you would be able to hurt him let alone stop him now imagine if you are not going to him but Alex going to you that would be the end of everything you've worked for so truly think about it." The woman says, I can see a faint shake then a chuckle " alright you win this time but soon the council will come for him and we will not be able to save him." this time the woman nods and gets up I quickly go back to my room try to fall asleep when I hear my door open I stay still trying to act asleep luckily the person didn't notice and sat on my bed "I know one day you will be great I am sorry for leaving but you will learn that we are not welcome and some say we will be eradicated for it I for one am scared shitless but I know as long as you live on and get older and train your powers in secret I know you will become the savoir of us," The strange man takes a long silence " Sweet dreams." he says as he gets up and walks out. Once he is out of the room, I let out an exasperated sigh. Who was that guy? Why and how does he know me? What does he know about me? Ha went through all of them, except when; back on track. I want to know all of this, and I most importantly want to know what I am because, from the way he said it, it doesn't seem like I am human. As these questions fill my head, I let the adrenalin out of my body and succumb to exhaustion and fall asleep.
