Chapter III:

"I uh...what?" Castle kept looking at me, waiting for my response on what happened to me, what I can do... I stuttered, it wasn't because of the fact

I literally enjoyed torturing someone but it was far...FAR worse than that.

"I am waiting Azalea... I do not have much time." A knot in my throat, I took a deep breath and tried to just cut off my story into 2 parts, or at

least cut it short and bury the rest so no one finds out, and the lucky thing is... I did not even dare to write it in my journal.

"I'm not sure which happening you are talking about..."

Castle looks at me and grins, "The very beginning, the one that is not mentioned in your journal, of course I did not read it, I quickly

roamed threw the pages looking for a title to tell me since you actually labeled each, I'm impressed with how organized you are." he still

had a grin on his face, he pushes my notebook towards me for me to take, and I do take it; I can tell he was waiting patiently for my answer.

"I don't know, I was 7, I had a normal day, I woke up, washed my face, ate breakfast, went to school, came back, did my homework,

played outside and by 9 PM I went to bed. I kept hearing things that woke me up, but my room was usually quiet, and I hated it." I

clench my fists and look down at my journal that was now in my lap, "I really don't know, the noises kept waking me up for a while until one

day..."

And there I was, 7 years old and laying in bed again, I wake up but this time I couldn't move! Why can't I move?! I try to look to my left but my head

refuses to turn, SOMEONE HELP ME! MOMMY! I wanted to scream but nothing. Nothing came out of my mouth, I could think it but could't say it! I

started to cry but without any emotion, the only thing that would move were my eyes, left, right, up and down, I could blink and close my eyes shut...

I don't remember how long it was till I could move my arms again, then my legs, then my whole body. I was heavily breathing. Oh God. Then the pain

started, but why couldn't I speak?! Shout? Yell?!

The pain I felt was uncontrollable and unbearable! It was as if someone with a sledge hammer was crushing my ribs, someone with needled sticking

them in my neck, someone with nails hammering them into my back one by one... but the worst one, was the one in my mind, so. many. noises! It

drained me, every couple days I had to go through the same thing for 6 years until I locked myself in a room underground with all my belongings, so far

away from everyone they just stopped. Not completely but now maybe once a week it would happen, the more I distracted myself that day the less it

happened. A year later, still in my room, reading books, learning, memorizing, it was all gone, as if I could control it. However the reason for me doing so

was not because of this so called pain.

"Azalea, I have something to do in 10 minutes so please, tell me what happened." Castle still grinning, he was trying to be patient with me as

always, I'm surprised I haven't made him lose his marbles because I am very stubborn and my attitude is bad, I may not show it now, but just wait.

"I learned why I kept having this pain, I know that for 2 years you've been trying to convince me to do some tests but believe me, I

can fully control my power, I trained. And about why I locked myself was because I hurt someone and I enjoyed it because that's who

I am, if I don't like someone I seek to hurt them, especially if they hurt me first..." Castle was fully listening so I continued. "All it took was

one touch, one touch and amazingly he collapsed on the ground screaming, his hands on his head, just, screaming... and I smiled at

it." I was completely staring at the table when Castle cleared his throat and I looked up at him, his grin was gone, he sighs and walks towards the door,

"I can see you aren't fully ready yet, at least you shared something new, you may leave now, Kenji will be back in a couple days." he

says and I stand up with my journal in hand, I look at him as I leave and grin a bit, I exit the room and head back to my room who no one but me lives

in, reason was because I've had some trouble with other roommates so Castle had me move into a smaller yet more isolated room, just the way I like it.

I never complained about being alone, not even now but for some reason it was always nice to have Kenji around... or Warner... what? No, not

Warner! Why did I say that? Ugh!

2 days later:

It was night time and I was in my room playing with a ball, bouncing it on the wall and watched it as if bounced back to me and I catch it and throw it

again, I enjoyed it, a good exercise to my arms before bed, not that I slept when the lights went out. I sensed something strong coming towards Omega

Point...

I quickly looked at the door and yelled out KENJI! and sprang out the room, I was all the way up already without noticing it, I zoom out the front

entrance and see people with stretchers bringing in what looked like someone I have seen before, but who was the female? Is this the female whom

Castle spoke of? Juliette? It must be because the second I came out she was yelling and screaming at Kenji as he tried to calm her down and she

touched him and he was on his knees in agony with just a touch! AND WHY IS HIS LEG BLEEDING?! I was breathing heavy when I noticed the

female, ehem, Juliette was also unconscious. WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?! I screamed in my head.

Later on I learn that Kenji was alright, Sonya and Sara took care of him and I go to see him, I hit his shoulder. HARD. it almost tore off, "You scared

the living shit outa me!" why is my voice shaking? I ask way too many questions but I was so scared, frightened that something bad had happened

to him, the only friend that actually I cared about. The only person ever I cared about Other than Warner, but I'm over that now

I couldn't even understand my own actions, I look up at him as he smiles at me with his hands in his pockets, "I'm okay." he says through his teeth

trying to hide the pain of my punch to his shoulder, "Sorry.." I rub his shoulder and he breaks a laugh, "You worry too much." I shut my eyes and

just hug him, I wasn't wearing my boots so I was much shorter than him than before, I reached up to his chin without my boots, with them to his

nose, he is pretty tall.

Kenji's hands come out his pockets and I couldn't see his face but I could sense it, all he did was pat my back and I squeezed harder until he finally

wrapped his arms around me, a proper hug, it lasted for at least 30 seconds before I let go, my face red, he starts to laugh, "I have to go, Castle wants

to meet the girl."

"She looks like me.." is all I said and Kenji looks at me in confusion, "Looks like you? Oh no... she's pretty and all but she's got Adam." and it

hit me...Adam! That's it! I know him! I remember the tattoo on his chest... I never understood it, all I knew from Adam was his eyes were like mine,

dark blue, maybe that's why I remember him, I look at Kenji as if I was about to sneeze, "HACHOO!" yup I sneezed... "Bless you gorgeous." he

smiles at me and I giggle, "I need to go and see this Adam, okay?" Kenji raises an eyebrow, "Eh? Why?" he says in Japanese and I reply, "I don't

know." in Japanese, and we both start laughing out loud, he stops laughing and just looks at me, "You know... jokes aside, I really am glad you

are around, makes me feel as if I am living up to something, and not going to die before I reach the age 25." he chuckles and I just glare

at him... "You're not gonna die! And even if you do, I'll... bring you back!" now I was annoyed at the thought. He gives me a little push to go

and do what I gotta do, without saying anything I nod and I leave.

In the recovery room I can see the twins healing an 18 year old guy with dark brown hair, tattoos and a body that was nothing like he was when they

brought him in, he was perfectly clean, shirtless, he was cute, but as Kenji said taken, and younger than me.

I come in without knocking and flash a smile at the twins who weren't happy to see me, "Azalea!" they both say together and I laugh, "You aren't

supposed to be here..." Sara says and Sonya nods, "It's alright Kenji knows, I only need a minute! You can even count!" the two look at

each other and nod, "Okay, one minute!" both say together and quickly exit the room.

I took out a chair and sat near where he was, I put my hand on my chin and looked at his face, just stared at it, I wanted to check if it was indeed

Adam, the one who has this odd tattoo on his chest, I reach in and pull down the covers, exposing his chest completely and my face turns red... I

have a weakness to muscle!

My eyes stare at his flawless chest and I wanted to touch it, when his eyes open up and I fall backwards on the chair and knock it down along with

myself, "Ahh! Crap! Damn it!"

He gets up slowly and looks at me, "Juliette?" he says softly, I get offended. Very offended!

"No I'm not fucking Juliette!" I angrily say and stand up and pick up the chair and sit back down, cross my legs and flip my hair back, "Hi, I'm

Azalea... you just injured me with your... body!"

The Adam looks at me puzzled and says "Body?"

"Yes, I was staring at the perfection of your chest when you almost killed me with your eyes!" I stop and look down, "What am I

saying!?" what AM I saying? Lea get your shit together!

"Where's Juliette? Is she alright?"

"Kenji's with her, relax..." he lays back down, "This is Kenji we are talking about..."

I take a moment to think about his words, "Oh yeah, you're right."

"I'm Adam by the way."

"Yeah I know."

Adam looks at me instantly, "How do y-" a knock cuts him off, the twins come back in, "Minute is up." they say together.

Without saying anything I head to the door and pause, look at Adam and without thinking, "See you later...handsome, bastard!" and I rush out, I

stand against the glass and shake my head... "handsome bastard?" did I say that? What is wrong with me?

I just leave shaking my head regretting what I had said, I'm vulnerable when good looking men are around... I can't help myself but just want to attack

their face!

I was walking around when I hear someone say, "There are others... like me?"

When I realized it was this female named Juliette, I don't care how she looks like, how she sounds like, who she is with, how she got here, all I can think

of is how she HURT Kenji, my only friend, true friend. My savior. And she hurt him, I did notice her lethal touch, but honestly? If people knew what I

had done I think they will kill me... which is why they should never know... N.E.V.E.R. or I will die...
