Even though I could heal, I landed on my b d and passed out. My body was tired and I needed time to heal up. The moment I shut my eyes, I drifted into another nightmare. Helene and her minions were hunting me like I was an animal. I yanked awake from my sleep sweating profusely. I stared around frightened and saw I was all alone. "Jeez!" I immediately got out of bed and hit the shower. My body was on fire. I don't know why but I knew it had to do with my abilities. If I was slowly upgrading them then I was sure my body needed time to adapt to each stage. The moment I got In front of the mirror, I gasped. I have added more flesh and more muscles. My hair had a bit of an indigo colour. It was like I had grown over the little time I slept. What is happening to me? I looked into the mirror for quite a while. I love the fact that I was looking more sexy and more masculine. My biceps were nicely shaped and of course my abs feels like I had been training for quite a while

I had always wanted to know how far my body was willing to heal. I could heal now thanks to whatever ability runs in the family. All the students gathered the moment I fell to the ground gasping for breath. " Is he dead?" " Call 911!" " He can't move." " Can someone do something! Call an educator!" They all kept shouting. " Eli!" I heard a voice and I knew who it was immediately. I know I had told her to mind her business. To stay away from me. " Jesus Christ!" She said in tears the moment she got closer. I don't need to be told the damage was going to be severe. Whoever heard dropped the blocks on me wanted me dead or probably become a cripple. " I told you to stay out of our life! Didn't I warn you?" I knew that voice. Jordan Easton. My number one enemy is on the school campus. I knew he was the only one who was stupid enough to try and kill me right in school. He asked towards me and laughed. " Now, my father won't have to worry about you anymore or worry about his

A loud noise erupted inside the hospital. " Get the power on!" " We are losing at V.I.P patience in room 106!" " She is not going to make it through the power outage!" " Get it back on now!" The noise of each doctor over their dying patience woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly and the light fluctuated coming back to life. [ ALL THE DOCTOR'S CLAPPED ]" Let's get back to work!" a man shoutedAll the doctors rushed back to their duty post while a young girl in a white lab coat rushed into my ward. " Jesus Christ!" she slipped the moment she walked in. She looked at me with disbelief in her eyes. " But you are supposed to be...." she stuttered with her hands pointed towards me. " Dead?" I paused I got out of bed and straightened up for a bit. I looked around and saw I was naked. " Turn around." I said slowly staring at her. The girl turned and I quickly grabbed my clothes. " How many hours have I been dead?" I asked,wearing my clothes. The girl breath hard. I could tell tha

"WHAT DO WE DO? YOU CALL THE SHOT!" I stared at Xavier, who was a bit shocked. "You can either give me what I want or I can just kill you here myself," I said immediately. "Well, you will have to contend with Jordan for the rest of your life, and do you think he is going to forgive you for killing his father?" Xavier looked at me. I laughed as the chaos outside the building unfolded. "Now is not the time for this?" Celeste barked. "I don't know who is out there, Eli. But I am going to try and buy you enough time. In the meantime, try and do what you have to do." I nodded and watched Celeste disappear out of the house. My gaze landed back on Xavier. "Let me ask you one thing." A pause. I walked closer towards Xavier and crouched in front of him. "Did you kill her?" I felt my heart thud slowly. My gaze fixed on his blistered lips. I could feel Xavier trying to see how I was going to react if he said the words; I think he was going to. "What does that change, kid? If I told yo

The gentle hum of the electric bulb woke me up. My eyelid felt heavy, but I was fine. I tried to get up, but the pain that throbbed in my head was more than enough to keep me in bed. The door opened and I saw her. Celeste leaned against the door frame, her gaze fixed on me. "Why didn't you tell me?" she said softly. I looked away. "Tell you what?" "When were you going to tell me you can do more than shoot a volt? Do you even know what you did out there could cause a power outage?" she asked I looked at her. "And why do you care?" Celeste simply shut the door and walked toward me. She placed the cup she had been holding for a while in front of me. " Drink. You need it." I grabbed the cup and gulped the content inside. It was not water, but the moment I drank it, I felt my body more calm, and I felt the headache gone. I looked at the cup and back at Celeste. " What is that?" " Something to help with your powers." She replied. "Xavier? Where is he now?" I asked
