78...Lost gems...
Alec paced the living room, his hands already clammy as he tried to calm his nerves. "Okay, okay," He stopped walking for a second. "Alec, don't panic," he breathed. "Don't. Panic," He repeated with a solid tone. "Alec, don't—"Beep. "Fuck!" He cursed in a harsh whisper. Then he started pacing around the room again. "Maybe Xander was just pranking me," He thought aloud. "Maybe it's just a...a warning, right?" He looked around like he was hoping someone would agree. "Right. Just a loud, screaming, ear shattering warning. That's fine. I mean I get those all the time, yeah?"BEEEEPPP. "Okay, no I don't."BEEEPPP "Can you fucking stop?!" Alec snapped in frustration. "No." Xander answered, brutally honest.Alec froze. "Xander," He called cautiously. "Listen I know what you're thinking, alright?" He held up a hand. "I know what you are thinking," he repeated with a slower tone. "And technically.... technically, I didn't say anything,"Silence. "Alright I said something," Alec confess
77...A spiritual crisis...
Alec still felt cold internally. He rubbed his arms, like that would help to warm him up quick. "Alec, say something about your subconscious." Jeremy said, watching him through narrowed eyes. Alec leaned back in his chair and sighed. "How did we even get to this for fuck's sake." He mumbled, feeling upset.Jeremy creased brows. "What was that?""Nothing." Alec mumbled, pushing his hair back. Jeremy waited a moment before speaking again. "I'm just letting you know now..." He looked at Alec straight in the eye. "I'm not dropping this topic until you say something.""You don't have to be so hard on me, Jeremy," Alec complained with a small frown. "I thought I was your best friend.""Stop it," Jeremy deadpanned. "It's not working.""What?" Alec gave him a disbelieving look."Yeah, that guilt trip is not working.""It should....""I'm not Alan," Jeremy said flatly, staring at his friend with a knowing look. "I'm not Alan, Alec. Your games are not gonna work this time."Alec scratched hi
76...The lightning...
"What if it's him?" Jeremy glanced at the ball, then at Alec who was trying to understand what they were talking about. Heidi bit her bottom lip, her gaze fixed on inscription on the ball. "Do you think he's the one?" Jeremy's eyes returned to the ball. He stared at it for a few seconds before finally uttering his thought. "I think it's him."Alec flashed his gaze between Jeremy and Heidi. "Okay, can someone please explain what's going on here?" He asked, looking curiously between his friends again. "Who is 'him'?"Jeremy let his eyes stay on the mysterious object for another moment before talking. "I'll explain later..." He said, folding his arms across his chest. "After you tell me about your powers."Alec stared at Jeremy, an unreadable look printed on his face. "You want me to...." He trailed off, shaking his head. "This is crazy." He muttered, turning to his locker. "We already had this conversation before, Jeremy""And I wasn't satisfied with that." Jeremy shot back frankly.
75...Issues with patience...
"He is so hot," A voice gushed. "I'll ask him out myself one day," Another girl whispered, staring dreamily at Alec. "You are a genius, Alec," The teacher complimented with a sincere grin, then turned around to write on the board."Maybe math wasn't so bad after all," Alec whispered, turning to Jeremy, only to notice his friend’s eyes were focused somewhere else.Alec followed Jeremy's gaze and saw it was locked on Letty.There was a guy sitting beside her, hitting on her and getting touchy, right there in the middle of class. Alec grounded his gaze, watching as Letty tried her best to fend the guy off, shifting uncomfortably and inching away, but it was clear she was struggling.Darkness appeared in Alec's eyes as he glared at the guy beside Letty. "Alec..." Jeremy whispered carefully. A surge of anger rushed through Alec. "I'm gonna kill him.""Okay," Jeremy said, clearing his throat as he saw Alec's fists clenched. Alec glanced at the teacher, then back at Letty and the guy.
74...A zombie...
The school hallway was buzzing with the usual chaos; The lockers slamming, sneakers squeaking, and the dull hum of half awake teenagers imagining how they could strangle their teachers. Sam leaned arrogantly against his locker, scrolling on his phone, trying to look like he wasn’t waiting for Kevin and secretly eyeing the hot girls that passed by. Kevin soon rushed in, his eyes wide. He whispered. "Yo… bro, did you see it?"Sam glanced up, annoyed. "See what?" “The truck,” Kevin hissed, dragging Sam toward a corner of the hallway. “Max’s truck was spotted outta control on the road last night. Like crazy outta control. People said it was spinning like a Beyblade.”"Really?" Sam's face brightened "That means brake cables....oh my God, the boys we hired!" He laughed, hitting his chest lightly in satisfaction. "The boys did their job well. They loosened the brake cables!""Yeah. They really did their job well.""So...." Sam lowered his voice. "The thing.... crashed?""It's supposed to,
73...Hide and seek...
When Prof. Smith had spoken, his voice had been filled with a deep sense of dread. "Shadowborne, shadowborne, shadowborne," he muttered the name, clenching his fist tightly. "God, I hate the guy."Heidi and Jeremy exchanged looks, wondering who exactly this mysterious Shadowborne could be and what role he played in Alec's extraordinary abilities. "So," Heidi started. "We talked about how I had noticed a high frequency of de novo mutations in Alec's DNA that suggests exposure to unusual environmental factors like chemicals....or radiation," She gave Prof. Smith a pointed look. "And you connected that to Shadowhuman—""Shadowbonny..." Jeremy interrupted to correct her. "Shadowborne," Prof. Smith corrected with a rough undertone. "Okayy?" Heidi dragged, observing how upset Prof was, but she still continued. "Connecting chemicals and radiation to Shadowborne, does that mean you think this Shadowborne guy gave Alec his powers?" Heidi asked carefully. Prof. Smith placed a hand on his
