The school immediately called Roberson and Voss to the Dean's office to settle the dispute between both children. Alex was the first to get out of bed. He walked straight to Miles' room and opened. "Get up. You have to be early to school today." The early sun flittered through the curtains making Miles' face reflect with anger. "And why do I have to go with you very early? The school wants to see you not me?" Alexander Robertson paused mid-way. He slowly looked back with his hands clenched. "What did you say?" he said with a hardened face. "The school wants to see you and not me. Why should I get dressed so early?" Alexander laughed. "Do you think I am going to praise you for trying to stand up to Jack Voss? He killed some unknown kid for a good reason best known to him. and now you are sulking over it. Get a good grip, boy!" The word made Miles' face changed colour. Alexander Robertson was justifying while he had to die. He was justifying while Dennis Lawson was kil

Miles stopped walking. For a second, he thought he had heard wrong. Jane had asked before and now she was asking again. Slowly, he turned around. Jane stood a few feet away with her arms crossed beneath her chest. Her silver-blonde hair swayed lightly as students passed through the hallway behind her. The corner of her lips curled upward while Miles stared at her. Then he laughed. A short, humorless laugh. "Have you lost your mind?" he asked with his gaze fixed on her. Jane rolled her eyes. "There it is." "What?" "That attitude." Miles shook his head. "You walk up to me after everything that happened and ask me to be your boyfriend?" Jane shrugged. "I didn't say it had to be real." "That somehow makes it better?" "It does." Miles turned away. "I'm not interested." He started walking again and Jane followed right behind him. "You didn't even hear the benefits." she said with a straight face. "There are benefits?" "Plenty." Miles sighed. "Why are

Miles Robertson didn’t move.Not even when Jack Voss’s voice sliced through the hallway like a blade sharpened on rage.The silence that followed was heavier than the noise that came before it. Students who had been whispering seconds ago now held their breath, waiting for something to break.Miles Robertson slowly turned fully this time, his hand still locked with Jane’s. His expression wasn’t loud like Jack’s anger, but it carried something steadier. Something that didn’t flinch.Beside him, Jane Taylor felt the tension in his grip. She didn’t let go either.Jack stepped forward again. One step then another.Each step echoed like a countdown.“You think this is funny?” Jack asked, tilting his head slightly. His smile was gone now. “You think you can take what’s mine… and walk away like nothing happens?”Miles gave a small, almost lazy shrug. “She’s not an object, Jack. So nothing was yours to begin with. Besides, isn't that the same thing you did with Dennis? You took what belonge

Miles walked back home immediately he left his mother's grave. He was not only angry with himself but a part of him felt his betrayed his mother. He met Lilith in the dinning room the moment he walked in. "Come here. We have got to talk." she said in a feisty tone.Miles paused. His reflection in the full length mirror closer to the door showed Dennis. He was not only wearing an angry look but his face was pretty messed up by the fire. Miles immediately stepped away from the mirror. He was not sure if someone could see what he was seeing. "I don think I want to talk about anything right now." he said back looking at Lilith. "I am just going to go back to my room." Lilith dressed herself on the chair she sat on again. She dropped her cutlery and frowned. "You are going to listen to me when I talk to you. I am your mother!" she barked. Miles frowned and immediately found his legs moving towards the dinning room. Lilith picked up her cutlery and kept eating. She didn't seem both

Miles needed the power. He knew that after the fight he had with Jack. The news of Kyle's power returning back to him had spread far and wide around the school ground. "Kyle just used his powers this morning." "Wait. What?" another student said in disbelief. "Someone saw him shooting a fireball in the training field today." "But Miles took his powers? How is that even possible? Does Maya have her piers back?" "It is only a matter of time before she does. Miles is not as scary as we think he is." As Miles walked through the hallway, they all looked at him. Some wondered what was going on with him while some laughed. "Maybe Jack Voss scared the shit out of him." "I bet he is going to return Maya's powers soon enough." Miles clenched his fist so tight he could feel his nails digging into his palms. "Damn you system." he cursed under his breath. The moment he walked into his department, he saw Jack Voss in front of his desk. "What do you want?" Miles s
