GENERAL
I was extremely surprised by what i saw but i couldnt slack off since we were on a differemt mission before. This planet was flowing with so much untapped energy so using my powers was so intoxicating that it takes extra control to maintain my cool. Once I had the information I needed I close my eyes and move in time before finally merging with my body once again. I jerk off my seat and Careen runs to my side.
"What did you see" he asks hastily as soon as I gang my consciousness and I take time to catch my breath before speaking ti him. I take my time to consider if it was the right thing to tell him such a thing. I know informations like that should be kept in the court but he has gone with me on more than enough missions to become an unofficial member of the court so I decide to tell him.
"It's the kid, he is a manipulator" I say pointing to the kid that just went through the accident and Careen faces the direction I was pointing towards clearly confused and doubtful. He scoffs and chuckles.
"That is impossible. Firstly that kid looks to scared to even do anything in that state. There is no way he is even a channeler not to talk of an all powerful manipulators. On the other hand manipulators are a myth as old as time there is no way they are real" he says not believing any word i said which was annoying. I understand being a scientist he only believes in proofs and manipulators are a myth but he has known me long enough to know I don't say what I can't confirm.
"Well how do you explain a kid like that channeling a sphere shield and floating it with telekinesis without any crystal whatsoever at the same time our crystals were shinning." I ask and he goes silent for a while with a completely blank face. I couldn't read his emotion before he finally replies
"Maybe someone else casted it to protect him" he says and I scoff and cock my eyebrow at him
"It will take two very powerful well trained channelers to do that and it will drain enormous amount of energy from them. They will also have to be ready beforehand to do such a thing since it takes a lot of focus. I'm sure they won't waste such time and power on a little kid in an accident you know" I reply and he goes back to denying it. I couldn't even hear him anymore the moment he gets into the ambulance and it moves. I can't loose this boy at all.
"We have to follow them" I say and get into the car without waiting for his opinion and he groans and mutters curses under his breath. He gets into the car just as i start the ignition and I drive off following behind the ambulance
"You know we could just forget this happened and go back to the motel, have a good rest and go back home tomorrow. It wont hurt anyone." He says and I roll my eyes and give him a frown that shuts him up.
We trail the ambulance till it reaches the hospital and park our car at the road that faces the entrance of the hospital. We remain there for about 2 hours waiting for him. After just hours that felt like light years he comes out with a very angry woman and they both enter a white Formatic Jeep which was clearly expensive. They drive and we follow them, after driving for about 25 minutes we finally arrive at a very large mansion. The gate opens and they drive in. We park at the other side of the street and stake out.
"What if this boy turns out to not be anything but a normal human boy" he asks and I go silent. I have considered it but I just have a gut feeling that I'm right and following that gut feeling is what has kept me till now.
"Then we pack up our stuffs and leave this planet" I reply and he rolls his eyes
"Wow you sure have got it all figured our mighty general" he says sarcastically and just as I was about to face him and reply him the kid walks out the gate and slams the door and it visibly bends but he was too annoyed to notice. I look at Careen and he was shocked beyond doubts. I start the ignition and start following him
"what were you saying then" I ask and he was too shocked to reply and I burst into laughter. How I love proving him wrong. We keep following the boy as he runs on the street and finally enters the woods. I park the car and come down "stay with the car" I say and he grumbles
"Why do I always have to be the one with the car" he says and I ignore him and enter the forest trailing the very angry boy.
JASON
I walk out the door and slam the gate on my way out loud enough to send the message I want it to. I was far too pissed to do anything else I might finally regret later on so I start running. Ever since I was a kid running has always help ease stress, tension and anger.
The feeling of pain in all the different joints in my body as I stretch them in great effort was so cooling. I enter the woods and pick up my pace from a slow jog to a little faster speed, I start to feel all the tension leave my body as the breeze blows on my face filling me with more energy.
Most people just feel the breeze as cool but to me it was refreshing. It was like a burst of energy as it hit me. I could feel how much power resides in the air and how much it just flows with no direction or control. The energy in the air is free and I just wish I could just be like it one day.
I take in a deep breath whivh was very helpful. Taking in the scent of the leaves and listening to the crunching of the leaves under my feet was more soothing than I imagined. I was still running when I start to feel I'm being followed. The energy in the environment suddenly changes and becomes toxic.
I look back and see no one there. I shrug off the feeling and continue running but the moment I feel the energy in the environment shift I know I'm being followed. Since I was a child through the energy in the environment I could tell the intention of everyone around me. And i must say these people don't have good intentions at all.
I check and see no one but catch glimpse of prints that aren't mine. I pick up speed and this alerts them because after a while someone pounces on me sending us both spiralling onto the forest floor.
"Got you. Master will be delighted" the man says and I scream. The scream pushes him as he flies a few feet away from me. I look and see there are three of them altogether. The others were still surprised like me so I use it against them and kick the closest to me in the groin keeping him down long enought to start running. That should slow them down and give me an headstart
They continue chasing me and I take turns in the forest to lose them but they were seriously on my tail. One opens his hands and a ball of swirling energy appears there and he throws it in my direction. I turn right and it hits the tree beside me and it immediately engulfs in flames.
Remind me to avoid him at all cost. I keep running and they were getting closer. Looking at their speed it was too fast for a normal person. They have to be well trained and drilled to run this fast. I can't evade them for much longer. What do these guys want with me and why will their master be delighted to catch me? How can they even throw fireballs from their hands?
I start praying for a divine help from God and almost immediately one of them is flung into a tree. Guess God really answers prayers then. I push faster and someone appears beside me. i jump a little frightened so he speaks.
"I'm here to help you" he says and I laugh. Is that supposed to calm me down.
"I'm being chased by unknown strangers and you expect me to trust another stranger just because he said he is here to help. How stupid do you think I am?" I ask and he smirks
"do you have a choice" he asks and I was speechless. He's right I don't have a choice but to hope he isn't out for my head also so I play along looking for a way to bail dine minute.
"So how are we getting out of this" I ask and he turns to gauge our surrounding and our attackers
"Just follow right behind me" he says and stops abruptly and turns to face them. Does this guy have a death wish?
"Are you mad, they are going to kill us" I complain and he replies calmly
"just trust me" he says and I snap
"that's highly impossible. I just met you and you want me to trust you not to deliver me intl their hands to save yourself" I reply and he starts running headfirst into the midst of my chasers not sparing me a glance or giving my words a thought.
Everything rational in me was telling me this was a death wish but a gut feeling tells me to believes him
I throw caution to the wind and stupidly follow him.
As we get closer we increase our speed exponentially and my chasers stop with a huge smiles on their faces.
Once we got close enough his bracelet lights up a very bright grey and immediately the three chasers were flung in different directions and we pick up speed heading back to the entrance of the forest before they can pick up themselves.
"They are not down but that should give us enough time to escape so we have to keep running" he says and I nod following him as we pick up speed. I know i shouldnt be trusting a stranger with my life but i kust felt like he wont do anything to harm me.
We keep running at full speed for a long time and just as my legs are about to give out I see the entrance into the woods. I pick up pace and we burst out onto the express. He runs up to the van opposite the entrance and gets into the driver seat. Another guy a lot younger than him opens the van door for me
"Get in" he says and I stop to weigh my options. I ignore his offer and start to run home on my own when the chasers burst out of the forest and sight me. They start chasing me and the car comes closer with the door still open.
"Get in" he shouts and I shrug
"How can I be sure you are not with them and after my life also" I ask and he smiles. The smile was so sinister you could feel the devilish emotion behind it
"if I was you would be long dead" he replies and I t felt more like a threat than a sentence. The sentence sends shivers down my spine. Once I get myself I roll my eeyesat the behaviour. What a proud asshole.
I look behind me and the chasers were getting closer. I was finally in the middle of the devil and the deep sea. Just as the chasers get close enough I choose the lesser devil and jump into the van.
Fuck it, what's the worst that could happen.
