Thief, Fight and I am in

3 years later,

Its been 3 years from when I had escaped the warehouse. I moved to an urban city, though I don't have a house or family, I get enough food to eat and finding somewhere to sleep is not difficulty here for boy who can sleep anywhere. I was walking down the crowded street, 'that woman, with the blond hair, yeah that one', it was my inner consciousness.

'Seems good to me', I told 'it' through my mind. looking at a glass wall of a shop, I could see a 16 year old boy with black hair looking back at me, I don't really know my birth day but I had a rough feeling of my age.

I was nearing the blond woman, my target? the purse she carried. You guessed it, I am a thief now. The woman's purse would have enough money for me to survive for a few days after buying some new clothes.

I was just behind the woman now,' In one...two.....three....go', idiot counted for me. I had named 'it', idiot. 'It' had protested for two days though 'it' excepted it later on. When 'it' said 'go', I ran, nearing the woman, I snatched the purse and ran towards an alley.

I could hear someone following me, but I didn't stop. I ran down the alley into another street, pushing through the crowd, I ran. I ran for about ten minutes before I stopped. 'Good work', idiot, my inner consciousness, congratulated me.

My hands on my knees, I panted.' Yeah, let's go buy something to eat now. I am wiped', I told idiot. The alley in front of me would take me right to a good restaurant. I walked towards it, ' You should probably go by the street, I have a bad feeling about going this way', idiot said. 'I am tired and can't walk all the way around, this alley is good enough".

Idiot started muttering in my mind about a feeling in his gut, that didn't exist. But over the years I have learnt to ignore his voice in my mind.

I entered the alley and walked about fifteen steps when I felt something wrong. Looking behind I could see two burly men and now in front of me, were three other men. I was trapped.' Told you. My gut never lies. What now, hero?', Hero, that's what idiot calls me teasingly. 'Give the purse to them, what else could I possibly do".

'Do what you did to those smugglers three years ago', idiot said. The energy I had felt then had never returned after that incident, sometimes I think that it was some sort of spirit or ghost that inhabited me. But I had a feeling that I was wrong, It was an energy, I knew that, how? That I don't know.

'I can't', I told my inner consciousness. The three men were closing on me now. One of them, who stood in front of me stepped forward. He had that cruel smile that I have seen on all bad guys. Technically I am a bad guy too, but I can't smile like that no matter how much I try, so I don't consider myself a bad guy.

The man who stepped forward, obviously the leader spoke, "Give us the purse, little boy'. I handed him the purse, what else could I have done. "Now, we can't let you stay conscious when we escape, can we. You may call the police". That's when I got angry. I gave them my hard earned purse filled with money, now they want me unconscious just so that they could escape.

"Not kill you. Of course not, we are not murderers We will just hit you on your head, so that you can fall unconscious", he said with that wicked smile still on his face. I got angrier. Then it happened. Something changed. Looking around, all the men around me were looking sluggish. The leader speaking was slow, not in volume but in speed, so now I couldn't understand what he was saying. It was like, the time had slowed down around me.

Then, like that time with the smugglers, I lost control of my body and mind. I don't really remember anything after that.

When I looked around things suddenly went back to their normal speed, the bandits were all sprawled on the floor. One or two of them obviously dead. There was blood, lot of blood.

I picked the purse from the ground, which, fortunately had not been harmed and ran towards the street at the end of the alley. Disgusted with myself, I ran even after I entered the street. I had lost my appetite, so I ran past the restaurant I had wanted to go to.

People stared at me, maybe because I was running like a crazy person or was it because there was blood all over me. I have hurt the smugglers three years ago, I had broken their bones. I have got in a lot of fight over the years. But I have never cried. It was different this time, I had killed someone and seeing the blood. It made me angry and at the same time sad. I cried, tears washing some of the blood of my face.

Police must be after me, I had to escape. I ran towards the entrance of an alley. Bone tired, I couldn't run anymore. I ran a little way into the alley and then fell, face first, tired, thirsty and sad. All the while Idiot didn't speak a word.

I don't know how long I lied there, maybe a minute, an hour? Someone had pulled me up and gave me water that had a peculiar blue color, though as tired as I was, I drank it. Looking up, I saw a handsome man standing before me. He had a kind face and wore a blue suit . "Hello, my name is Adam", he introduced himself.

"Are you from the police", I inquired. "No, I am not from the police", he replied, smiling. Of course he is not from the police, he had a really expensive clothing than a police officer would have.

"What do you want then?", I asked. I had revived some of my energy after drinking the water he gave me, so I stood up and prepared for a fight. He didn't seem like a bad guy, but you just couldn't be sure.

"I am not here to fight you", he said," I have been sent to give you a message from CSNS". He explained, but I didn't know what CSNS was.

"CSNS?", I asked him. "Council for Super Natural Security", he explained, still smiling in a kind way.

"Oh, So are you going to arrest me?", I asked taking a step back, I was scared. Even though I have heard that it was good life in prison, I really didn't want to get arrested." No, not to arrest you. As you must be knowing, there is a school were children who have super powers like yourself attend and learn to master their unique abilities. I have come to Invite you to attend the school".

"I am in", I said. He looked bewildered and then smiled and the bewildered expression vanished," Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Its just that, Thousands of students come to us, so as to attend an examination and we evaluate their talent then the ones who passed the examination are allowed to enter the school".

"But some children, who doesn't want to attend the school but has the talent has to be invited by the CSNS, and then persuaded to attend the school. It usually takes more time then it took for you", he explained with a smile. "You got food and a room for students, right?", I asked him.

"Of course", he replied. "Then, I will come" ,I told him with a smile, he smiled back.

That's how I got into the top school for powered children." You are powered?", I asked him, he nodded. "What's your power?".

"I can control the growth of plants or evolve plants or seeds", he said. He turned his back on me and started to walk towards a car at the end of the alley and I followed.
