"Mind Games"
A beautiful red headed teen stirred awake and got to her feet quickly. I must be done showering and using the bathroom, I must be dressed before he is up. It would be so embarrassing if he saw me naked gosh. Celeste had all these thoughts going through her mind. It's early in the week, Tuesday, what to wear what to wear. I shake my head as I go through my clothes to find a black lace up ripped jean short and a white spaghetti string crop top. I shower and dress up quickly. I enter the room to find an empty bed. I descend the stair to find a raven black haired shirtless 16-year-old. He was working out, the sweat pouring from his back. A blush spread across my cheek in defeat.
Atlas:
The system has been quiet for the past few days and all of a sudden I get a quest to work out, what the hell is with this damn system anyway. 'System interface' I spoke in my mind. < << System level 2>> < < < < < < < "close" Atlas whispered softly. "Come here" Atlas said sensing her presence "w-what? are you talking to me?" she asked. He walked over to her brought her face up to face him and said "listen here Celeste your mine now, the sooner you realize it the better" he said. "Wanna go for a run baby?" he asked "b-baby?" Celeste questioned. "yes, you're my girlfriend, aren't you? or is there something I should know so that I can terminate it?" "n-no, I mean "yes! wait- sigh ok let's go for the run" she said feeling defeated. "Atlas, wait up, why so fast?" She said panting. "sorry I'm trying to get it done before school starts," I said exhausted. I really need to build stamina soon. < Great more brain strengthening pills. Give me something meaningful. < At home I quickly shower and dress for school. I walk into the hallways with her by my side and everything goes quiet. I mentally roll my eyes but keep a straight face. Celeste looked up at me her beautiful eyes shiny. "What?" I asked nonchalantly "Nothing" she shook her head her long hair bouncing about her. she wore ripped shorts with a large belt and a white spaghetti sting sleeveless. I reach my friends and smile. "Yow guys wassup" I said "Nun" they replied, Ken's eyes landed on Celeste "wow who is this?" he said Paul looked up from his phone "well hello there miss" he said his voice making me cringe. he reaches a hand out towards her calmly "The names Paul, Paul Grant". he said as if it was suppose to ring a bell. She stuck out one dainty soft hand "nice to meet you I'm Celeste Johnson, Atlas's Girlfriend" she said calmly. "woww When did that happen?" Ken blurted out, "you guys look pretty good together". "Man she is hot" Ken whispered leaning forward towards me. "I know" I smirked. Celeste eyes boiled with rage she lifted her knee and kneed me in the balls "FUCK!" I hunched over "I can hear you!" she said folding her arms "Damn you woman!" she's lucky hitting girls go against my morals I would have beat her ass so bad right now. < < I will kill you if its the last thing I do Atlas voiced in his mind < .......................... -"powerful, is not what I would call it, I'm thinking more, you're at deaths door" the teacher spoke as if from experience. "So you have come across the beast?" Atlas rose his hand and spoke. The Zyborg was no push over, the beast was close to approximately 10 feet tall with 12 inch horns and fiery red blazing eyes. Its power went beyond measure, anyone who came across it was either dead or had gone mad. the only recorded man to injure it was called Carlos Bianchi. A member of the Bianchi household, its rumored that he stabbed its side with a silver stake and disappeared, no one has seen it since. When its near the fowl smell of rotting flesh and blood is strong and just know, you are at deaths door" that's where the saying deaths door lurks behind the zyborgh came from. "Not me but my-" the teacher paused, "my great grandfather came across it and he ended up killing it but it somehow it was reborn" she finished "Are you for real Atlas raised a brow, the last time I checked, Carlos Bianchi is not your great grandfather, so why are you lying?" he questioned the teacher defiantly. You- the teacher began but the principal was standing at the door Mrs. William backing Atlas's statement up , "yes Mrs. Grover, indeed why are you lying? "come over here", Mrs. William released her aura and pressure filled the room everyone was struggling to stay upright, even Atlas had to readjust himself several times. Ken was sitting to the left of Atlas laying flat on the floor laughing "Momm" he said, "a little help here" he whined how embarrassing thought Atlas, the pressure was lifted and a snicker came from the corner when the look on the teachers face was spotted, her face as white as a sheet of paper, as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes wide, "m-m-m- Madame". She trembled, "I- I never meant any harm, I-it was a joke" she exclaimed, "y-yes it was a joke" she laughed sounding slightly hysterically crazy "oh really?" Mrs. William smiled, she raised her hands, her middle finger, to her thumb, she was going to use her blood lineage, it was a powerful lineage that was used to play with the mind and body, 'Mind games' that was what it was called. She snapped her finger, moving it slightly to the side. the woman began to choke blood game out of her eyes ears and mouth, she fell to the ground coughing and wheezing in pain, she raised one hand with a teary eye, she was going to die if this didn't stop. Atlas knew then what he had to do, he sped to the front, "stop" he said his voice cold, and steady, his gaze had a warning hanging in the air. The principal placed her hand on her side "what is a spoiled brat going to do against my blood lineage?" He transformed his fist into a large fist the size of hulks, big and black like metal, he raised his fist to hit her, she winced "you wouldn't hit a woman?" she cried, "tsk", he lowered his fist, "that's what I thought" she said sounding cocky, he raised his hand this time not making a fist, SMACK! he backhanded her directly in the mouth, "watch it, Mrs. William, I don't take kindly to insults". She gasped "you-" Ken pounced attempting to punch Atlas in the jaw, Atlas quickly deflected his blow, sending a knee strike into Ken's torso. "Don't. Fucking. think about it." His friends eyes where wide, "why defend the teacher? they asked, "Because" , he said "We are all humans, this is inhumane". Ken lowered his gaze nodding, "I'm sorry bro", then suddenly he lunged forward punching Atlas in the stomach "oof" Atlas clutched his stomach, "now we are even" Ken said smiling, Atlas shot him a dirty look "What? you didn't expect to get away with hitting my mother did you?" Ken arched one red brow. "No" Atlas said "I apologize, lets end this" they hugged. Everything was suddenly back to normal, the teacher was rushed to the hospital, the students where all laughing, and Ken, Paul and Atlas Were acting as if nothing had even happened. <
