A YEAR AGO
“Hey girl, wanna show me some love?” I heard a stupid voice and I knew that sound and intention all too well to entertain it.
“In your dreams, creep” I responded to the guy who had been following me.
I saw him in town twice, he kept giving me creepy pedophile eyes. It reminded me of Michael. I acted like I didn’t see him. I just wanted him gone, but I guess I was wrong.
‘And here we are’
“You know you want this” he grabbed his nut sack.
‘Gross!’
“Gross!” I let it out scrunching up my nose showing him how disgusted I was.
“Fagot!” he looked pissed off at my reply. Well that’s what he wanted out of me anyways, to annoy me and prove himself.
‘Oh shame such saddening desperation’
“I’ve heard better!” I continued still walking pissing him off more.
“Dyke” he chimed behind me getting angrier and gaining pace.
“Try something out of the dictionary, or human intellect”
Maya’s P.O.V “Good morning class” I dragged. I was still jittery from the morning of my sister’s exhaustion. We had gone for a run, something we never do. Well I never do, she does. It was a good way to start your day but I never saw the reason of training, I mean we are strong and supernatural. So I felt it was useless, but truthfully it was good for the mind. “Good morning Miss” I heard Cie shout in a high pitched voice. I just looked at her and laughed. I was in a good mood. I guess running does help. She looked happy than normal, and my sister was sitting next to her. ‘Oh that’s going to be bad ’ Knowing my sister very well, I knew very well that I had to protect one of them, well Cie. I did not want any weird aura in my class. My sister can be a handful sometimes. “Andrea go back to your sit” I firmly ordered looking at her. “This is my place now Miss Johnson” she formally replied rolling her eyes, o
Max’s P.O.V I had been in my bedroom staring up the ceiling. I heard my door open and close. I looked up only to be met by a mischievous face I didn’t want to entertain. “What?” I ask not getting up. I wasn’t scared of him anymore. He knew that and he knew never to get close to me. I was a ticking time bomb when it came to him. “Nothing!” he said fidgeting with my pictures in my dresser. “Then out!” I yelled a bit stressed by his presence. He stood tall in front of me and looked at me up and down. I knew that look all too well. He was probably planning something stupid. “Now!” I hissed getting closer to him, not giving him the change to gloat about whatever stupidity that was on his mind. “Ok! Ok!” he raised his hands in surrender. “Dawn is coming” he started singing it like it was a new trending song. ‘Something’s up with him. Anyways why care. He always have something up his sleeve’ I dropped
PRESENT DAY I had been on my room resting when I heard my mother enter the front door. “Maxine Precious Johns get your ass in here now!” she yelled so hard I’m sure the neighbors heard. ‘What now?’ I complained really not in the mood for her outbursts. ‘What does she want now’ I mean she practically ignored me every time after I hit Michael ‘…so I don’t get what’s the commotion about. Let it not be about school. Please! What do I say even if she asks? Oh hey so I didn’t feel like going to school today, that’s why im here now. Yeah like that’s gonna fly I need to get the fuck out of here. Like ASAP. Sorry mother, but I’m going and probably won’t be back till tomorrow’ “Syd, wusup my man. Who you hacking this day” I asked as I sat down making myself comfortable. “Your mother!” he replied. “Actually that’d be awesome” suddenly finding his sense of humor interesting. “Ahh, Nop. We agreed no spying o
Belinda’s P.O.V ‘Ring, ring’ “Heeeeelo!” “We have a problem, come over to the school now!” “I’m not one of your student’s you know!” “Just be here in thirty minutes, I think we may have found him” “Are you sure?” “Would I be calling you?” “Ok! I am on my way” Thirty minutes later “You were right, the whole school smells of him” “….and I took a little bit of precaution” she continued. “What did you do?” I asked suddenly worried, I knew her outrage very well. It wasn’t pretty. “I erased everyone’s memories, I didn’t want them knowing I was here nor is he, and I took their memories of him, so they do not search for him once he is gone” ‘See!’ “Why?” I asked in a bored tone. She just killed me. “What is the big deal, I already have all their memories I need, what is left is for us to find him and go back home” she said with a s
Maya’s P.O.V “Good afternoon class” I was already feeling tired. ‘It was afternoon for goodness sake. I had been teaching since morning, back to back classes. It was exhausting’ “Afternoon Miss” they said in unison. “Afternoon” I responded in a more tired voice than I anticipated, they just laughed at me. ‘What can we do, what can we do that can help me avoid talking. I’m seriously not up for another class’ I thought browsing through their syllabus. ‘Lazy pants’ I looked up and was met with a smirking Andrea. ‘Shut up’ I decided to block her. “Let’s open our books on page fifteen and do exercise one and two” I said suddenly finding something that could keep them working and me, well relaxing for a bit, until they start asking for help. I sat down on my chair, stretching my arms as I tried to release my stress but only to be met by a snicker. I looked up and look who caught me lazing around, Maci
Max’s P.O.V People barely ever knocked at our door. It didn’t faze me. ‘I mean you understand why right? Our home was a wreck for visitors’ anyways back to it. My mother went and opened the door revealing two guys on the front porch wearing suits looking like lawyers. ‘Who are those?’ “Mam we heard there was a disturbance in your home we would like to come in and check what’s the commotion about” one of the man said. “Who are you asking to get inside my house, and who said there was disturbance?” my mother asked in a confused manner still on the door not allowing them to enter. “Ok! I have no time for this” the other guy said taking out what looked like a spray. He sprayed my mother on the face and she fell down making a thud sound. Confused I stood there like a frozen statue, I didn’t know what was happening, my mind was still zooning over the fact that this men got inside my house uninvited and spraye
Belinda’s P.O.V “I can’t take this anymore, she’s leaving now. I mean she is practically running and we did not see what happened. I need to see what is happening in that house.” my sister burst as she got out of the car, two men go out of a van that had been at the far end of the gate got out of the car and approached the front porch with her. She just put them to sleep in an instant. ‘Agh! Could she have just asked first, but no! Questions later. That’s all she does this days. Her eagerness for going home is annoying and risky, and I don’t want to go home.’ She telekinetically waved the door opened making it fall to the ground. ‘I’m sure whoever is inside the house ran at that sound’ I got out of the car and followed her. I studied the man on the door and I didn’t know who they were. I got in the house and immediately I got a dejavu. “Where is he? Where is Luca’s son?” she demanded fuming. I just stood next to her si
Max’s P.O.V I had been running for a day full now. I could hear them yelling at each other to find me, dogs barking closing in trying to get to me. “Why can’t we just use our speed to chase her?” one of them asked as I hid up on a tree inside a nest. “There are traps in this woods, it seems the owner is a hunter of some sort” another one said. I stayed still. “She’s here, I can hear her heart beating” I heard the other one yelling. ‘Wait, what?…..Ouch. Not now darn it’ Suddenly; it hit me again. That thing that always did when my heart stops beating, giving me searing pain. I tried to breath but I couldn’t. I wanted to do something, heck scream if I had to, but I just laid there on the tree trying to grasp for air although I ended up blacking out. I don’t know what happened next. I woke up with a massive headache. I opened my eyes only to realize it was getting dark. ‘I need to go home a
Maya's P.O.V “Hey stop!” Sebastian shouted at Max.She had just jumped out of the car and rand like a shooting bullet.“Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian drive!” I roared, they were catching up on us.I saw Naya waving at me with a wicked smile.“We are dead!” Sebastian was trying to lose them.“I said drive faster!” He was taken back like I was.“What about Max?”“We'll catch her later, now drive faster” I shook the steering wheel like the car was going to move any faster.Panicked, the tires screeched as we drove off faster.As we drove, we were silent. I was thinking of the next move, and Sebastian was hyperventilating.“Quit it!” I was angry.‘He got me into this hot mess’“Sorry!” He mumbledHe was making me sick in my stomach.I hadn't taken bloo
PRESENT DAY ‘Fuck this’ I got out of the car, and I ran as fast as my feet could take me.Maya's P.O.V‘Why am I suddenly interested in a girl, and that kind of a girl?’The feeling of anxiety was creeping on me, I felt myself getting weak on the knees.‘Well she doesn't look like a girl, but still, she is a girl. I need to see this girl clearly. I need to get closer’ my thoughts were raging as I made my way out of the car.She was running away.“Maya!....” I could hear Sebastian calling. It was faint, but I was too troubled to entertain him.‘Isn't that her brother coming back with a male figure? I guess that's not their father, and she probably has trust issues with the police, but why did she allow the brother to drive there from the start? Uh, why am I cracking my head over this girl’ I scratched my head as I felt a small head
Panic hit me.“I don't know them” I answered, ignoring the sting on my left cheek.“You are lying to us” the male officer holding my hands slapped me really hard. I felt that one, it was all up in my face. I ignored the pain again.I realized that I was in their world. I had to play their game, or I would find myself in a dire pickle.“I'm serious, I don't know them. Where is Sydney?What did you do to him? I want to see him. He will assure you I don't know anything” I assured looking at them one by one.I don't know why, but it was like i was watching a movie of myself. I couldn't feel anything at that moment, but anger.I felt a hard slap again on my other cheek, and another and another. It started to sting some more, but I was numb inside. I could tell they were not going to entertain my innocence. They just wanted the truth, their own way.“Where are the computers?” A male offic
FOUR HOURS AGO Maya's P.O.V “I couldn't get them.Damn kids of this days, they are so fast”Sebastian huffed facing down trying to catch his breath.“Getting old? I asked”It was funny to watch him struggle.“Definitely not!” He coughed for a moment.‘Well that was a bust’ I sighed.I mean, the whole reason we were there was for those two.And now that we don't have them on sight, I guess it was back to square one.“Did you see him?” Sebastian interrupted my train of thought.“Ummm...”I truly didn't see him.I was too busy gawking at the girl the boy was running with. She looked so familiar.So warm.“You weren't paying any attention were you?” Sebastian asked, but I was still zoning.‘Why did she look familiar?’&ld
No one's P.O.V “I. need. To…” Sam was trying to catch his breath.“Listen, I need see your boss” Sam tried getting attention from the lady in front of him, but it was no use. She was too engrossed to entertain him.“I’m sorry Sam, your father is busy right now. He's with someone important” The woman pointed at the door to the chief police’s office.“Listen Wonder....” Sam tried reasoning, but the woman in front of him wasn't having it. She was adamant on her responses.“Sam...” She huffed looking tired, realizing that Sam wasn’t going anywhere, nor was he promising not to bother her.“...you should take a seat” she finished, clearly not interested in what the young man had to say.Sam decided to obey and take the sit he was offered. Whilst sitting, he was busy fidgeting with his fingers, like he was about to break them. As he sat, his nerves got the best of him. He looked down, his right hand rubbing his palms. It seemed they were sweating, he was suddenly rubbing them on his trouser
Max's P.O.V We were rushing through the corridors. Sam had decide to follow me, for some reasons I didn't know about.The moment he saw me leaving he followed.“Why are you following me? Damn!”I was agitated by his presence. I didn't know him that well. I had so much to deal with, than to deal with him too.For all I know he could be with them.“Ding!” The elevator opened.“Wha…”Maya's P.O.VThe elevator doors opened revealing a unique face.A face that intrigued me more.“There...”Sebastian took off running chasing after them. I just stood there dumb folded. It was like I couldn't move.My whole body felt heavy and warm.Max's P.O.V‘It's them. Wait, Miss Johnson!’“Run!” I turned to Sam to give him a heads up.
Maya's P.O.V “Ummm, where are we going now?” Sebastian kept glancing outside the window as we passed the streets. It seemed he wasn't sure about the destination either.“There are some flats they said I will encounter up the heel” he confirmed my thought dismissively. “Who said?” I was still pressing matters. He was glaring ahead not giving me a second chance, not even a glance.“I think this is it” he motioned as he packed his car.“Shall we?” He asked as he tilted his head outside to look at the building.Yeah! And I didn’t forget that he ignored my question, I just chose to let him be. I wanted to see if his story was going to pen out.“Yeah, I think this is the place” He locked his car after we got out, and tossed the keys to his jacket pocket.Suddenly I felt dizzy. It was like I was about to puke. I held my waist as my other hand leaned on his car. “My Q....Maya are you alright?” Sebastian questioned as he held my back rubbing it a bit. It wasn’t helping in any way, ins
Max's P.O.V My mind was fuzzy. I had been waiting for the elevator to open for minutes. ‘Why can't it open?’ I arrived at my destination, not sure how I got there though. “Oh, Max. Jeremy says hi...” “Johan, nice to see you, hey Jeremy” I waved “He doesn't get it does he?” Johan inquired looking at Jeremy, then back at me. “Nop!” I waved one last time, then shifted my gaze back to Johan “He too desperate. It's not cute” “I know! Can you occupy him while I try running away from his stare. You know if I don't leave he'll come here, and he will start talking nonstop, until...” “…until you reach your destination. I know. Anyways let me help you with the elevator” Johan took out his card and opened the elevator. Only to find a couple inside the elevator making out. “Mmhhhh!” Johan murmured. I just laughed and felt bad for them. ‘Johan can be crazy at times’ “You two out!” He pointed to the couple. “...you in!” He pointed at me. He was authoritative like that. Too nice
PRESENT DAYMaya's P.O.V“Sebastian, I was there remember? I wasn't even young to forget”he was dragging the whole story.“Yes, but you were never outside that day. You do not know what happened next”“What do you mean?” he caught my attention.“When the Oracle got outside, you remember my great grandfather left to monitor the dining?” Sebastian inquired creasing his eyes together.“Yes, father asked that he foresee if food was prepared” he was consistent with dragging me along with him. It was taking forever.“Indeed, but surprisingly when he got to the feast he found out that the oracle had told some of the people of Redland the same story”“What story? This is dreading Seb...”“Patience!” He hushed me.“The story was about a child who would be born touched by God. T
