Okay WOW! I did not know it would take this long to write one simple chapter. I ran out of ideas, was thinking of my other two stories that I still need to write, and with school starting back two weeks ago I never had time. Thank you for being patient with me. Hope you like it
Chapter 1: Minds Set On Their Own
"Ugh!" I hit my head on the keyboard, listening to all the errors beeping on screen. Logan walked over with a book in his hand. He gave a small chuckle as he saw me.
"You know. You're not going to find anything online if you do that." He said. I sighed. "Nah duh, crazy!" I thought. A sharp smack to the back of my head woke me up.
"I heard that."
"I know." I groaned, lifting my head. You couldn't really think anything anymore. Logan would hear it. We've been shutting our mind off to Logan for a long time, but he still could hear it somehow.
"What are you looking up anyway?" He asked, setting the book down and leaning over my chair at the computer. I shrugged.
"That guy we caught today? The one trying to rob the drugstore? I'm looking for his criminal record, but so far he doesn't have one." I explained to him. Logan shrugged.
"Maybe he doesn't have one. Maybe this was his first offense." Logan offered. I shook my head.
"Most of the bad guys we caught had a criminal record. This just doesn't make sense at all." I told him. We had caught many bad guys since we became super heroes, and most of them had a criminal record, whether it was small like drunk driving, or huge like holding up a bank. But this guy we caught trying to rob a drug store, had no criminal record. It was weird. Logan shrugged again, and got back up.
"Hey, Carlos, James, and I are headed to the amusement park with the girls. You wanna come?" He asked. I sighed. I was the only once without a girlfriend. I just couldn't find the right one. No one that I could trust. Logan's girlfriend, Kaitlyn was a real sweet girl. He met her at a bookstore when they bumped into each other. If you still believed in one of those love at first sight, then that was Logan and Kaitlyn. Actually I was glad that Logan had found someone that actually understood him. They were a perfect couple. She didn't mind that he was a super hero. She actually had powers too. She could read minds, turn invisible, and she was somehow growing powers. She could be great use, if Logan didn't try to protect her all the time. But that was just him.
Carlos's girlfriend, Arriana, was another story. Not saying she's a freak or anything, we love her. But her story is a little odd how you say. Her parents are dead, she was kidnapped, but now lives with a scientist. She also has powers. She can turn invisible also, read minds, has telepathy, and laser vision. Carlos and Arriana were an odd couple. She's sort of shy and he bounces off the walls, yet they liked each other and eventually fell in love. She spent a lot of time at the apartment, not that I'm complaining.
James's also had a girlfriend. She's human, for now. But Logan, who also has the power to tell if someone is a super (as we call them), he can tell she is growing some powers. Alyssa, boy she stands out. It's weird that she didn't go for Carlos, but James fell for her. Of course if one gets a girlfriend, we always have to agree, and we agreed quickly on her. She was so cool! She's really bubbly and is not scared to stand out, which is why James fell for her. He liked the confident girls. James fell for her because of what happened when she was younger. You see, Alyssa is physic, so she can tell the future. When she was younger, she was surfing with her sister when her sister was attacked by a shark. She thinks it's her fault because she didn't predict it. No one can predict something like that. James always tells her that. They are really cute.
I was the only one not to have a girlfriend yet. It really sucks for me. But I guess I can live with it. One of these days I will get a girlfriend, and I'll be happy. But I'm not ready to have one. Logan and Carlos's girlfriends were one of those once in a lifetime to have super powers, and James's girlfriend was growing hers. I just wasn't ready to have just a human girlfriend. It would be too dangerous. Maybe that was what was keeping me from dating someone.
I shook my head. "I'll just slow you guys down. You go have fun." I told him. Logan frowned. He didn't like me being cooped up at home looking up stuff about the guys we caught. But I was the leader, that was what I had to do.
"We'll bring you something back. But tomorrow we're all going out to eat and you're coming. The girls don't mind the third wheel. They love you." He said. I chuckled.
"More like the seventh wheel."
"What vehicle has seven wheels?" He asked.
"That's the point!" I exclaimed. Logan growled.
"Alright! Alright. I'll go with you guys tomorrow. It is secluded right?" I asked. Logan laughed.
"Yes. No crazy fans to try and kill us again." He said, then grabbed his jacket and phone. He said a swift bye before leaving the apartment. Then it was silent. My mom had gone to do some shopping, and Katie was off to pool. I was alone. Getting up from the computer, I jumped over onto the bright orange couch and flipped through the channels on the T.V. Normally there was nothing on T.V on a Thursday afternoon, so I flipped it to one of those local channels. The news was on.
"Today there was an armed robbery in a local drugstore. Police say the guy was trying to get money when four teenage boys, unknown, stopped him. Are they superheroes? If they are, we thank you boys, keep doing what's right. Now to the weather." I turned it off after that. Sure we were heroes, but it was still hard to hear about us on the t.v. I mean sure, we saved the world, but it wasn't something huge. Just a few crimes solved here and there. Wasn't anything major. I sighed, laying down on the couch. Before I knew it, I was asleep.
I was standing in darkness. Fog billowed over my feet, and the clouds made it gloomy. Crows and Ravens cawed through the darkness. A brisk wind blew, making my teeth chatter. I went to pull my shirt tighter, when I noticed I wasn't wearing a shirt. Just a pair of black jeans with red splotches, and black vans. I was alone.
"Hello?" I yelled. My voice echoed through the land. I could see nothing, but as I walked, I could now see burnt and torn down buildings, glass shattered everywhere, power lines sparking.
"What happened?" I asked out loud. The wind blew around me, and my teeth chattered. My foot hit something, and I stumbled and fell. I don't usually do that since I have super good reflexes, but it caught me off guard. Tumbling to the ground, I cough as the fog and dust choke me. Shaking my head, I see what I've tripped over.
"Carlos!" I yelp. Sure enough it's him. His body is ice cold, his eyes close, his chest unmoving. My hand covers my mouth as I see the three long gashes across his chest, bloody and oozing Then I see Arriana, also unmoving. She's dead, but her body is not harmed. Her hand is holding Carlos's hand. I gag involuntarily, but manage to keep my lunch. Slowly I push myself back a bit, scooting when I hit something else. I blink and turn.
It's Logan this time. Same ice cold body, his eyes staring into space, chest unmoving. His body is covered in black and blue bruises, some looking like burns. Kaitlyn laid on her side a few inches away from Logan. She seemed to be almost in a tight ball, trying to protect herself. She had the same bruises and burns, but there weren't as many, as if Logan was protecting her and got the worst of it. What was going on?
I soon scrambled up and ran. But it was only a block or two before I fell over something again. I looked down, but I knew who it was. James. He had slashes across his body and face, as if they were trying to ruin his face. James may be the pretty boy of the bad, but he had a kind and caring heat.
"What happened?" I asked myself, watching. Alyssa was on a ledge near him, her face was covered in cuts. What could have done this to my friends? And where was I?
"This isn't your fault." My head snapped around, hearing a light voice. But I couldn't find where the voice came from. I almost gave up, until a bright white light blinded me. I shielded my eyes from it until I could see. In front of me, stood a girl, or was it? She was wearing a long white dress that trained down the street. Her skin was pale, her hair was blonde, and she had blue eyes. She had a soft smile, and I couldn't figure it out.
"Who are you?" I asked. She walked up to me, a smile still plastered on her face.
"I am nothing Kendall Knight, but a dream, a memory, destiny. Whatever you want me to be." She said in an angelic voice. I blinked.
"Okay. Well can you tell me what happened? And what happened to my friends and their girlfriends?" I asked in one short breath. Yet, she still smiled.
"Time happened Kendall. This is what can and will happened, but you weren't here. You can be there the next time, and when you are ready, you can stop this from happening." She said. Now that was confusing! I looked at her.
"You mean, we weren't here to fix this?" I asked. Again, the girl laughed.
"You were here, but you weren't together. Only when you guys are together Kendall, will you be able to take the call. It is your destiny." She said, then slowly, the mist began to take her.
"Wait!" I called, my voice suddenly hoarse and frightened.
"In time. This is your destiny." She said, and was gone. I closed my eyes.
I jumped up, sweat beading on my forehead and staining my shirt. The apartment was eerily quiet. I looked at the clock on the wall. 6:45 Pm. The guys must still be out. I sighed. That was one weird dream, but it meant something. I know it did.
Sighing, I heard a click and looked up. Katie and Mom had just entered.
"Hey sweetie, where are the guys?" She asked. Katie looked at me.
"And why are you all sweaty?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.
"They went to the amusement park with their girlfriends, and none of your business baby sis." I said. Katie shrugged. I grunted, getting off the couch.
"I'm going to take a shower." Was all I said.
*Peeks from behind Kendall* Well did you like it? Please review!
