Chapter 2

Max couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the boy and the girl. Memories came back to him. And exactly what he thought, they were who he knows them as, Ethan Josh and Kate. He saw the past of a conflict between himself, Josh and Kate coming to him and anger started flowing up and his eyes begin to turn black. He marched his way to them. He grabbed Josh by the arm and pulled him into an alley. "July 5, 2014, what did you do?!" He begins to say to him. Josh looked at him very confused as if he didn't remember who he was. "Wh-What are you talking about?" Josh said. Max threw a massive punch to Josh's face. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Max continued grabbing onto Josh's shirt harder. Then Josh looked at Max very closely and he begins to recognize his face. Josh looked surprised, "Max? But how—""How did I know and remember what happened? It's simple. I don't forget very easily!" Max said. Kate caught up to them. "You still haven't gotten over that for this long? Why can't you let all that go?" She yelled. Max continued to grab onto Josh's shirt while looking at her, "What do you know? All you know is that you are protective on his side no matter what the situation is." He looked back at Josh, "Now tell me! Tell me why did you have to make me go through all that suffering!" Max begins to combo Josh with multiple punches. After a 20 seconds Kate began to snap, "Stop it, Max! That's enough!" Immediately, Max's eyes turned back to normal. He slowly turned to Kate and then to Josh. Without saying anything, he ran off to his car and drove back home.

Max sat in the living room of his house feeling depressed. He couldn't believe he met up with Josh and Kate after 3 years. He was never expecting the appearance of them to come so soon. "Why do I know them? Why did all of this happen?" he thought to himself. For the rest of the afternoon, all Max could think about was the past between him, Josh and Kate. He laid down on his couch and rest.

On evening, Max drove around the city to continue his exploration around Maryland. He parked near the town square and started walking. As he was walking, he begins to notice several people dress in black suits just like what Josh was wearing; they were standing and sitting around smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. Max knew there was suspicious about them. As he walked farther, he heard noises. He looked around and he saw the boys chasing around and killing or kidnapping innocent people. Max was in shocked as he stood there not knowing what to do. He had no weapons to help the innocent people being attacked by the boys. "You might want to keep your distance away from them" Max looked right next to him and saw an ordinary person. He had long flat hair and is completely unharmed. "These guys are what people in the state know them as the Black Snakes" he said. "How long have these guys been around?" Max asked. "About a year" the guy said. Max continued asking more questions to know more about the Black Snakes. "Doesn't someone do anything to stop them? Like the police?" Max asked. The guy said, "There are too many of these gang members for the police to handle. They can overpower them." Max was surprised to hear this. "Who is their leader?" he asked. "I don't know the name of the leader but he is a young boy who is in black uniform dressed like exactly like them. He is the only member of the Black Snakes that wears glasses." He talked more about the Black Snakes. Max didn't pay attention as he begins to realize who the leader is. "Is something the matter?" the guy asked. "No. Thank you. That is all I need to know." Max replied and he turned back to his car. "Wait!" the guy yelled trying to stop him. "You're not thinking about joining the Black Snakes, are you?" he asked. "No, of course not. Why?" The guy took a good look at Max, "Because your outfit is similar to what they are wearing." Max knew his uniform was similar to the Black Snake uniforms, "Maybe there is some way they can be stopped" he said as he drove away to look for ways to stop them.

It was night time as Max begins to walk around the stores. He begins to hear strange noises. He was wondering what it was so he followed the direction to wear the noise was coming from. He went into a hidden alley that had a Black Snake logo on it. He began to wonder if it was where all the gang members of the Black Snakes lived in. He peeked through the door. He saw hundreds of Black Snake members sitting around as if it was an auditorium. Max looked at the stage of the Black Snake base and just like he knew, Josh was the leader of the gang the whole time. Next to Josh was an admin leader of the gang. Max began to study him using his power of telepathy. Through Max's power, he knew that the admin leader is the boyfriend of Kate. Then Max begins to listen in on Josh's speech to the gang on what their plan is for the night. While Max was listening, he studies the gang through telepathy. All of them were the same age as Josh. Max begins to wonder if Kate even knows about these people. He continued to listen to Josh's speech.
