"Come on!" a dark haired woman with an accent called out as she ran. There was panic in her voice as well as fright.
Behind her she was followed by a girl with orange hair that were put into pigtails. The girl behind her eventually caught up to the dark haired woman as the two ran down the street.
"We have to hurry Vanille!" the woman yelled out, continuing to pick up the pace.
The sound of running footsteps could be heard behind the two of them. They were being chased. And from the sound of it there was more than just one person.
"This way Fang!" the girl named Vanille called out as she dragged her friend into a alley.
"Shit it's dead end." Fang yelled out in anger.
That was their mistake. The running came to a stop and the two of them turned around. In front of them were large men in uniform, each armed with a claw of some sort on their hands. At the front of the men stood a man with a scarred face and an eye patch.
"Now now ladies I think you've run far enough." He teased out.
The two of them instantly felt a chill run down their spine. Never in their life have they experienced this type of fear.
"Wha-what do you want from us?!" Vanille questioned.
"We came to bring you back." He replied ever so smoothly.
"What do you mean 'bring us back'?" this time Fang questioned.
"I've already said enough. Now will we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way. Which one would you prefer." He asked.
"How about neither!" Vanille yelled out.
The orange hair girl raised both her hands up and crossed them. Suddenly a bright light enveloped her and the ground started shaking and then large chunks of of the ground began floating up. She then pointed one of her hands towards the group of men and the rocks instantly flew towards them.
"They never learn now do they?" He said as he raised his left hand in front of him.
A large portal then materialized in front of the men and the rocks came flying into it. Instead of hitting them as Vanille intended the rocks were instead pulled into the portal instead.
"W-what?" She questioned in panic. "What happened to the rocks?"
"Get her." The man demanded.
Behind him two came up front and stretched out their hands that held the claw. The claw gave off a buzzing noise followed by the sound of electrical shocks then a large blue bolt of electricity came firing out of the claws. Vanille had no time to dodge the bolt of electricity and it struck her right in the chest, causing her to scream out in pain.
"Vanille!" Fang cried out as she ran over to help.
When the sparks disappeared Vanille's body fell crashing into the ground. Fang grabbed the orange haired girl and began shaking her.
"Vanille! Wake up Vanille! Please wake up!" She cried out again but no luck. "What did you do to her you sick fucks?" She screamed.
"Nothing really, just gave her a little shock. Wasn't strong enough to kill if that's what you're wondering." He answered back.
"I'll kill you for that!" She roared as he held her hands out. A spear made of light materialized in her hands and she launched forward. Quickly enough she managed to impale a man right in the heart, instantly killing him. The other tried to fire off the strange claw shaped device again but this time it missed and ended up hitting the brick wall, giving enough Fang enough time to shove her spear right into his throat and ending his life. When she finished off the two men she retreated back to Vanille's collapsed body and reached down to grab her fallen friend.
"You little bitch! How dare you!" He yelled out angrily. His took both his hands and swished them in front his chest in a criss cross motion. In his hands appeared two strange shaped gun like devices. "I always have to do all the work here." He said.
He took aim with one of the guns and fired it. Fang finished grabbing Vanille's body and quickly jumped to the left, avoiding the strange bullet. The man continued firing more shots at Fang and she managed to dodge every single one of them.
"Is that all you got?" She asked in a taunting manner.
"I would advise you to look at whats surrounding you." He said with a devilish smirk on his face.
Fang carefully looked around her and saw that the strange bullets surrounded her in a square, with one bullet at every corner.
"What is the meaning of this?" She questioned.
"This." He answered as a he snapped his fingers. When he did that the strange bullets began glowing in a bright white aura and little trails of sparks came flying out. Then an electrical current came from one of the bullet and flew straight ahead and connected with another, that one connect to the one ahead of it and finally it came back to the first bullet, resulting in an electric square barrier.
"You're planning to trap me in this?"
"Check again."
Suddenly directly below Fang's feet started glowing again and she could feel slight shocks on her feet. There was a loud buzzing sound and then all four of the bullets released a stream of electricity that went straight into Fang's body. The dark haired woman gave out a loud scream and fell down to the ground.
"Get them." The man harshly ordered. "Our leader will be needing them soon enough."
From behind him more men came and went over and picked up the pair of unconscious women and hauled them over their shoulders. The man with the eye patch raised his hand again and a portal appeared in front of him.
"Let's go, we already wasted enough time." He instructed as he went into the portal followed by the other men.
Riku was up in his room, reading 'Crime and Punishment' when his mother, Olivia yelled up at him, "Riku! You better have put those clothes away before I come up and check on it. I've reminded you three times today already."
Reluctantly, Riku set down his book and rolled his eyes. No one was around to see it but he felt like he was still being rebellious for his own sake.
"Okay, mom!" He called back to her.
He brought the book back up in front of his face and resumed his reading. Without taking his eyes away from the novel, he lifted his fingers and the pile of clothing began to float around the room.
Drawers opened seemingly on their own, sweaters folding themselves and were dropped into their prospective spots. Jeans were draped over levitating hangers and then placed into the closet on their own.
It was as if some invisible cleaning lady was sorting out the entire room, but in reality, it was because of Riku.
Riku Eckhart had telekinetic abilities, and although they came in handy in such situations as the present one, he had to hide them because according to the world, having a power made you an abomination of nature.
What the ignorant people of the world didn't know was that these 'powers' were a result of natural human evolution, and eventually, every human on earth would have them. But at the moment, the 'mutants' were a minority, which made them easily outcast and misunderstood by the modern society.
Riku's parents were especially judgmental of people with abilities, so Riku knew that they could never find out about his. He was usually pretty discrete about it but when he was on his own, he could hone his powers. He took advantage of every moment of solitude he was graced with.
Without even a knock, Alexis burst into the room. Riku dropped his book in shock and thankfully, the levitating clothing dropped to the ground as well before his mother seemed to notice it.
She narrowed her eyes at him as she surveyed the clothing that had fallen to the floor. "Really, Riku? How can you be such so disrespectful when I just made a point of cleaning that clothing for you? I really can't believe you."
Riku began to protest before his mother slammed the door.
"Be down for dinner in five minutes. And if you haven't cleaned up that mess, don't even bother coming at all." She threatened as she walked down the stairs toward the kitchen.
Riku let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't even imagine how awful it could have been if his mom had seen him using his powers. He made a note to be more aware of it.
But then, absentmindedly, his finger flicked, which directed the rest of the clothing into the closet.
"Well, crap. That didn't last long." He muttered to himself. He smirked and shrugged.
Riku absolutely loathed the fact that he wasn't able to just be himself around his family. His ability was incredible (yes, he was well aware of that) and he constantly yearned for the approval of his close-minded parents. It was a useless wish. They would never move from their drastic view.
He walked down the stairs slowly, making each step last longer than the once proceeding it. Being around his parents was torture and although it made him a bit guilty to hide something from them, he did it to protect himself.
As he walked into the kitchen, his father was reading a newspaper. The headline read:
Get rid of the freaks!
Riku could tell that his father was devouring every word of the article. It made his stomach lurch in disgust.
"God damn muties." Zach stated, rolling the paper up and tossing it into the recycling.
Riku had to bite his tongue to stop himself from reacting verbally. He turned away from the table and quietly dished out a plate for himself.
"It's just, well, sort of unnatural. Their powers, I mean. It defies everything I thought I knew." Alexis said, biting her lip with worry.
"They're not powers, Lexi. They're nuisances. Advantages given to people who don't deserve them." Zach protested, slamming his spoon down onto the table.
Riku flinched at the exchange as he sat down at the table with his parents. It deeply wounded him that they were always so forward with their brutal opinions of people with abilities.
"I don't think it's about whether you deserve them or not. It's random selection." Riku muttered before he could stop himself.
"Excuse me, young man?" Alexis asked, raising a well-groomed eyebrow at her son.
Zach's gaze turned toward Riku as well, which was a rare occurrence.
Riku paled before shaking his head. "Er-nevermind. I didn't say anything important."
Zach shrugged and began to ramble on about how the 'muties' were starting an underground 'uprising'.
Alexis gasped in utter horror and shared the rumors that she had been hearing around town with her husband.
Infuriated, Riku clenched his fists under the table. He was invisible to his parents. But, better that than out of the street if they knew about his power.
Riku began to tremble with intensity, so much that suddenly his plate flew off of the table and shattered into pieces.
"Riku! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" His mother screeched in a utterly horrid voice.
Zach began to rise to his feet, his temper causing his face to turn an ugly shade of scarlet.
Riku was frozen for a moment before realizing it was time to escape. At least his parents hadn't seen what had actually happened. They just thought they had a pathetically clumsy son.
Before Riku realized what he was doing, he took off up the stairs. Both his parents objected loudly, but their voices were soon muffled by Riku's slamming bedroom door.
The one good thing about his parents was that they understood that if Riku's door was locked, it really meant 'Do not disturb'. With his back against the door, and his chest rising up and down in a hyperventilating state, he quickly clicked the lock on.
Without a second look back, he knew what he needed to do to clear his mind. He crossed the room and threw open his window.
Thankfully, it was an especially dark night, so the blackness would disguise his journey. He need the freedom of the sky.
The wind sent a breeze licking at his face and he breathed it in deeply, enjoying every last second of it. He needed the peace of flight.
He stepped up onto the windowsill, crouching down for balance. Once most of his body was out, he stood up, clutching to the outer paneling of the house. He smiled at the openness of the sky. It was where he thrived.
He slipped on his night vision goggles (that he had got as a part of a spy kit for his eleventh birthday) and surveyed what was above him. It was a hauntingly clear night, perfect for the relief he needed.
If it had been anyone else, they would have fallen to their death, but Riku was different, he was special; when he took the step off the ledge, he didn't fall, he soared.
Oh snap new story! Yes my kitties here comes another new story. What do you guys think of it?
