It has been three days since the little friction between Sitan and Justin, also with Sitan revealing his secret to Quill. But that was the least of his worries as he tried once again to access his mind space, which he had difficulty to access since his last battle.
'sigh'
"if Caspian was here, he would have explained to what is really going on to me but why isn't he responding and why can't I reach my mind space" Quill muttered as he bit his lips. He knew that his friends would be worried about him if he goes out with a gloomy mood, so he tried to straighten himself and arranged his hair before leaving his room to catch up with them for breakfast.
"hey Quill, we were beginning to get worried that you have turned cold with us in your house and our presence seem to be bugging you" Felicity said with a flushed face as she hugged Quill's arm.
'sigh'
Quill let out a bitter sigh as he thought to himself
'am I this pathetic'
as if on cue he turned and faced Clipper and as they made eye contact, they started talking through their eyes.
dude, please help me out - Quill
how will I do that or why should I do that, she is disturbing you not me - Clipper
please, please please, just help a brother. Besides if you don't help me out of this, her whining will disturb the quietness you are savoring now, so choose. It is up to you and I know you know what to do - Quill
Is that a threat?- Clipper
No?! more like an advice - Quill
Clipper just let out a big sigh, he realized that what Quill said was true. So he thought of a way to punish Quill and make Felicity to shut up. Quill looked at Clipper with expectation to free him from Felicity because he doesn't know how to handle girls related issues. He would have asked Sitan or Eric to help him out but as they saw him open his mouth to ask for help, they just vanished with a lame excuse 'damn this house is hot, phew, we are going for a walk' really under an air conditioned house! seeing that Quill just pinched the bridge of his nose before saying flatly.
"could you please leave my arm? seriously, it is throbbing in pain and I feel comfortable being alone" Felicity was shocked to her bone by Quill words, her heart hurt in pain. She loved Quill no doubt or was it just an infatuation, but she wondered why that no matter how she expresses her feelings or affection for him he doesn't seem to notice. but she couldn't help but smile bitterly as she stared into Quill's eyes that seemed to be devoid of any emotions, a look that meant that he will give you as much love you want but is deeply unwilling to receive any.
"okay", Felicity said gloomily as she plodded towards the couch. Clipper wondered how Quill who was all smiles now as cold as a steel blade, Clipper couldn't wrap his head round it and wonder what was the cause of his mood swing.
"clipper I found out that I am terrible at close combat, I would love you to help me on that", Quill said with a smile but Clipper wasn't up for that smile because he found it awkward.
Ever since Quill had forcefully used his heavenly flames unknowingly, his personality and that of Caspian had been interchanging even though their will is combined their personality is not.
Clipper nodded and without further ado, he followed Quill to the state of art training hall. Clipper was stumped as he enter it but quickly recovered himself as he thought staring like that will be bad on his image. After changing to their training uniform, Clipper spoke
"don't expect me to go easy on you"
"I never told you to do so", Quill said with a slight smirk as he charge towards Clipper as they started their sparing section.
Felicity sat dejectedly and the gazebo that was situated outside the mansion, her gloomy face was a big contrast to the beautiful scenery the garden provided. She didn't have time to appreciate it as her mind was fixated on something else, she never blamed Quill for his earlier attitude but his mood swing really caught her attention.
'when I saw his eyes for a moment am sure the glowed with a silvery hue, if not for my keen eye sight I wouldn't have noticed it. It was as if two people he had two souls' Felicity pondered deeply before she was distracted by the chattering of Sitan and Eric.
'aren't these guys a little bit too chatty?' Felicity looked at them with a raised brow as they approached her.
"hey, why out here alone and were is your lover boy", Sitan spat out of his mouth while he winked at Felicity as her body fidgeted in anger.
Eric could not be blind not to notice the trouble Sitan was brewing for himself.
"uhmm Sitan, I'll se you later inside", Eric quickly said as he distanced himself from Sitan as he turned round o enter the mansion he could hear the wails of Sitan as Felicity had already pounced on him to ease herself of the frustration she was feeling.
"ahh" Felicity let out a relieved breadth as
Quill was panting heavily as the sparing section with Clipper gradually came to an end with Quill slightly covered with injuries
Huff Huff
"Quill, don't hold back your attacks and dude use your healing and speed abilities fully" Clipper berated Quill as he saw the pitiful state he was in.
"don't give me that look, besides if I relied too much on my abilities won't that make me weak", Quill made this statement as he knew that he can't use up to ten percent of his abilities! that is why he requested that Clipper should train him in the art close and weapon combat. shaking off the negative thoughts that are clouding his mind, he pushed his speed to the ten percent limit and rushed towards Clipper. Miniature sonic booms could be heard around Clipper, making him be on his guard.
"Sonic canon" Quill shouted as he punched the air 100 feet away from Clipper, a loud sonic explosion was heard as sonic waves escaped Quills fist. Clipper was startled at first but soon felt the impact of the attack hitting his stomach sending him tumbling in the air.
Eric, Sitan and Felicity was shocked at the impact of that surprise attack, Eric did a quick calculation in his head and shivered when he discovered what damaged the attack would have inflicted if Quill wasn't a 100 feet away from Clipper.
As Quill saw the rest of his friends, he quickly bandaged his arm that was injured due to the attack.
"guys, am taking a walk", Quill said before leaving as he saw Felicity trying to look at his injury.
Quill didn't want his friends to find out that he couldn't heal properly, so he used that excuse to leave the mansion.
******
Walking down the street Quill knew that his friends has a lot to ask him but he didn't know how to answer. He can't just say
'oh, am sorry I can't use 90% of my enlightened powers'
Or he can't really say that
'sorry guys my enlightened will is injured'
Just saying that will make his friends to freak out especially Sitan and Felicity.
Sigh
Quill train of thoughts was cut off when he heard the screams of two girls, discreetly activating his enlightened space to make sure the battle that will ensure will not affect the environment. Walking slowly he meet a sight that was too gruesome for his fragile heart to take.
A girl was struggling to get closer to her kid sister who was in a leash, her kid sister was treated like a dog due to the strange..
Quill was stunned as he muttered under his breath
"Isn't that a Walker"
Walker in the sense are or lay man term a zombie. But to Quill she looked as if her enlightened power was forced, which was illegal in the enlightened world.
"They are using them for illegal experiment, I got to stop this" Quill said as he wore a hoodie and a nose mask. The one of the thugs that was holding the leash of the little girl was stunned
as he saw Quill approaching them.
"Step back right now kid, what that's happening here is not your business" the other thug that was whipping the big sister, seeing this scene Quill gritted his teeth and landed a punch on the thug face punching him out cold.
' damn I couldn't hold my punch' Quill sighed while the girl he just saved ran behind him for safety. The other thug holding the leash was in a state of fright as he saw the strength of Quill, but he felt a little comfort when he heard his boss speaking.
"Oh, a fangless tiger" the boss of the thugs who had a large scar that run across his left eye snarled. As he gathered his strength, he punched the air in front of him sending air cannons towards the leashed girl which made the thug holding her scream. But as the dust around that area cleared Quill was seen in a different area holding the little girl, her body was fidgeting as she couldn't hold her urge to eat flesh.
'if I don't feed her now, she might forever lose her sense of reasoning' with this thought Quill forcefully ripped his left arm fed it to the girl.
Seeing her eat it savagely Quill muttered to himself
'everyone deserve love, no one has to suffer'
Seeing this scene, the boss of the thug was stunned as he readied himself add another head of an enlightened person to his collection.
"Sorry boys, gotta fight this one" he said with a smile as he saw the Quill arm growing back at a steady rate.
