Don't judge a book by its cover

CHAPTER 4

There he was sitting down majestically on his throne, looking at me with those deep brown eyes, his perfect build, and dark shoulder-length hair.

He walked up to me so fast that I didn't even see him coming, he smelt like he just took a shower.

He wore a dark suit and opened the first two buttons to show off his chest, probably, with dark pants.

For some reason I didn't think it fits his whole appearance, he look like he'd wear all these toga outfits you know the one that angels supposedly wear.

I caught sight of the woman that opened the door up for us and the girl who kidnapped me drooling over him, well I can't blame them though, but still, I was anxious about his presence, something didn't seem right, he was way TOO perfect.

I've hated fine people most of my life, probably cause I'm not that handsome myself and the scar on my nose served as a reminder that beauty is long-call away.

"Hello victor," he said in a deep relaxing voice

I was shocked, how did he know my name? but those thoughts got pushed aside by the sound of his voice.

"You may be wondering why I called you here"

I took a step back and said "Yeah why did you call me?"

"You have a special power that, I'd think would be great if added to my cause"

"What is your cause anyway?"

"How did you know I have a special power?"

"What is your name, by the way, I don't think it's fair you know mine and I don't know yours"

By the time I asked the last one the girl in the mask had a knife to my throat saying:

"You better know your place boy"

"I'm s-sorry...d-did I say something I shouldn't have?"

"Calm down anna," said the man

"ANNA??!?" I yelled

she put the knife down and her voice suddenly turned all childlike replying

"B-but he disrespected you!"

He patted her on her head and said "it's alright".

"Back to you victor"

"My cause is to save the people around the world who have these mysterious powers that have been actively popping up"

"Save them from what?"

"The people that tried to kidnap you are from an organization that's currently kidnapping them and using them as test subjects and announcing that they are a threat to mankind"

"That's terrible, but what can I do? I'm no stronger than I originally was after getting powers"

"Your powers can be of great help, it could save lives!" anna said

"I'm sorry but I don't wanna be a superhero or anything, I'm risking my life right now by being here, my family is probably worried"

*Knife to my throat again*

"Anna please don't kill him," he said

"But....but... fine!"

*Retracts knife*

"Victor you said you wanted to know my name right?"

"Yeah...I guess"

" You can call me... Ignatius,

"Whenever you change your mind about helping us, anna will always be nearby to help, "He said with a nice smile on his face

"Anna give him some food or something he must be tired from today and show him the way out"

"Yes, sir"

she walked me through the door and gave me a cola and some cookies but took two out of the 5 she gave me, Petty, huh?

After eating, she hit me on the back of my neck again??!!

How much a secret are they trying to keep this place.....t..hat...can't.....let....me..be..awak-.

I woke up at my house in my bedroom no less, still, in my sweaty uniform, the time was 5:30 pm, and my sis should be home sometime soon, in the meantime I'm gonna take a shower...

*Showers for 20 minutes*

"Phew!" "That was refreshing" I dried my hair with my towel while staring at the mirror, I tried turning my power ON to get a better look at it since I'd discovered I had 2 skills since it was activated today.

[ Staring at the mirror with power on]

"SKILL 1: The ability to slow down time in my surroundings, no special means required for activation, doesn't take much out of me either.

I've gotta get more tests in on this one I feel like it'll be the most useful in the long run, but I'll leave that to tomorrow, for now, I think I'll name this skill.....Uhm.....Does time hang?... Time stop?

"Ooh, I'll call it TIME LAG!"

"yes, that's perfect!"

The second one is.....

SKILL 2: I think it's either clairvoyance or foresight, I mean, I could see another future me, I could hear that future too I mean I could already see and hear ebuka say something before he said it.

Hmm... I have to test this out before further confirmation.

But for now, I'll call this... PRECOGNITION but it feels deeper than that, well I can't make up a better name anyway, so I'll stick with this.

it looks like I can see into my future by a few seconds if I'm not paying attention.

"lemme try to squint a little and...WOAH!!!"

"I can see up till when I was a baby, pretty nice but why is it a POV? it's a little creepy seeing my parents playing with my body against my will"

[POV of Victoria-victor's older sister]

"ugh! I hate after-school lessons, being in SS3 is such a pain in the ass. Teachers just wanna make sure we pass by force, but forgetting rest is also an option."

"I just wanna take a shower and pass out!"

"But dammit I have to cook dinner for that little brat"

"Hmm?"

My idiot little brother left his bag on the living room table. Whatever I'll just take it in for him, he must've been tired.

"Yo bro you left...WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES??!!!"

[Victor's POV]

Awwww crap!
