The warmth of his hand in Andy's hand was astonishing; the intimacy, the feeling, the energy passing between them, the fact that he hasn't heard any voices, and the fact that Andy hasn't let go of his hand.
People pushed along side them, all trying to escape; they all began shoving around the door, pushing him against Andy, allowing him to feel Andy against him. He felt Andy tense up as he realized that he was aroused by this situation. "Sorry." He whispered passively against Andy's neck.
His breath hitched as crowd kept pushing, causing him to get closer and closer to Andy. His hands clenched into fists - his heart racing, breathing come faster - as he tried to cease his trembling. He raised his hand, the free on, purely on instinct, feeling the movement and energy of the people around them. "Move." His voice seemed to echo around them energy cascading from him, a whirlwind of sound, and then silence. The silence as the people around them obeyed, silence as the girl and Andy stare at him and shock. And then they were moving again, through the empty space, through the people, then out there door. Into the cool, crisp night, they were running towards her car but he stares at the sky and the stars.
"Come on." Andy whispers tugging him along and into the backseat with him, he smile as he squeeze Andy's hand a little tighter.
As they pull into their garage Andy grab's their hands and squeezes it once before letting go and getting out of the car, the girl notice this and turns to look back at him and frowns. "Not much of a relationship guy, sorry. I'm Lauren." She seemed nice and he didn't feel any malice towards him so he nodded his head.
"Ryden." He spoke, his voice coming out as mesmerizing and chilling all at the same time. Lauren froze and stared at him, then lunged at him but wrapped her arms around him. "I'm so sorry." She whispered.
She let go and then laughed as she maneuvered herself back into her seat, and then threw open her door. Ryden stared at the door, noticing his hand trembling a little, he sighed and bit his lip only to shove the door open and hope out. Staring at the stars again, the feelings he got from them always seemed to relax him, and now he knew why.
He followed in after Lauren, and almost ran into their mom, she looked upset and freaked. "Hi." He spoke timidly attracting everyone's attention, they all seemed shaken but stared at him a little cautious, "Can I use your bathroom?"
"Y-yes of course." She said staring at him, caution radiating off of her. "Down the hall and to the left."
He walked down the hall, a little shake in his hips, hoping to attract Andy's attention. His hand slides along the wall, the feelings and emotions that have built up in the old house flowing into him, as his eyes start to glow. He slid into the bathroom, but just stared in the mirror, stared at his face; the face of the serial killers' kid, the face of a killer, and the face of a scared boy. He stared at the glowing green eye's of a boy who should've been dead a long time ago.
This feeling of malice now flooded into him and he turned his head towards the direction, he slid his hand over the mirror - feeling it shatter - as he walked out of the bathroom and down the hall towards where they were.
"Get out of our house!" The house seemed to shake at the command in his voice, Andy, he spoke within his mind. He turned the corner and stared at the Sentinel Services officers staring at him, one of them a little pale.
"Hi." He said again - raising his hand in a tiny wave - he continued staring at the officers when one's hand, twitched and in an instant his hand was on his gun and pointing at me. Lauren turned pale as she turned to throw her hands out and create a shield, the other officers turned towards him to stop, and Andy stared shocked -like he didn't know what to do. But Ryden didn't falter, he kept watching a cynical smile on his face, his hand in the figure of gun, copied the officers movements, but instead of being like the officer and pointing it across from him, he raised it so it was pressed against his head.
The officer followed the same motion and pressed the gun against his head, he kept screaming 'stop' over and over again tears racing down his face; Lauren, Andy, and their mom stared at him in horror. "Click. Click. Boom." The gun went off and the mom screamed, Ryden stares in front of him and looks at the officer in front of him. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Jace Turner."
He stared at the boy in horror, knowing this kid was extremely dangerous but also knowing that something bad was about to happen.
Ryden smirked and stepped past the family, "it was a pleasure to meet you all" he whispered as a tear seemed to fall down his eye as he flicked his wrist towards the officers pushing him outside, "I guess this is goodbye Andy." He turned for once happy that his parents made him just like them, he opened his eyes and walked straight into Lauren's bubble shield - causing him to hit it and then fall backward.
"You're not going that easily, come on Ryden. You aren't going anywhere."
His eyes sparkled as he grabbed Lauren's outstretched hands and followed after her into the car, into the backseat. "Shield." He whispered as the back window shattered, Lauren responded quickly and threw up her shield as he noticed the car coming, he slammed his hand on the window next to him and the garage door exploded off and the oncoming car seemed to vanish. "GO!" He shouted as he began coughing up blood, Lauren grabbed him and pulled him close making sure he was alright.
The car pulled into a gas station and Ryden hopped out of the car to head in the direction of the store part, the door dinged and Ryden peaked over at the cashier who looked at him bored and unconcerned. Ryden skipped over to him and pulled a pack of gum from the display and placed in front of him.
"Will that be all?" His voice dull and boring, no emotion present at all.
"Nope, a pack of camels as well along with that red liquid lighter please."
He just stares at the kid in front of him mouth down and shakes his head, Ryden can feel him about to refuse. He sighs, "Give them to me." He can see it his powers working, he can feel the energy of the cashier changing into an obedient one, he plucks the cigarettes from the wall and the lighter from the counter and hands them to Ryden.
Ryden grabs the gum and turns to leave, but a hand grabs him and turns to face the man. The man is old yet strong, his grip furious and his eyes dangerous. "Kill him." The man stares confused right at the moment the cashier jumped over the counter onto him, resulting in Ryden becoming free. He pant's and grabs a knife hanging from one of the racks and bolts out of there towards the car, launching through the door and sliding in next to Lauren.
*Time Shift*
"What can I get ya hun?" The waitress asked, peppier then needed Ryden was still eating his gum as he looked over the menu sitting at the bar. "Mhm, how bout we start off with some Coffee and hashbrowns?"
"Alright then." She collected his menu and smiled as she started to walk off.
Ryden looked over to the wall and saw the sign for the restrooms and realizing that he hadn't gone for more than 6 hours, he really needed to go. He looked over to the family, biting his lip wondering if Andy was looking over at him. He sighed and left to go to the bathroom, unbeknownst to him that he was being watched by an older man - pedophile.
Ryden pushed into the bathroom and stared at his reflection, ever since that whole incident at their house he's new found powers have been out of control, it's like they want him to do bad things, it's like his powers were his parents. He watched as the door burst open and an old man wobbled in and laughed heading to the urinal - at first - but he turned around and locked the door.
He shoved Ryden against the wall and slammed his lips against Ryden's, his hands traveled down the boys body, grabbing his butt firmly when he reached it. Ryden struggled to push the old man off, no matter how hard he pushed the old man wouldn't get off, Ryden's hands touched the mirror behind him trying to access a good stable point.
A sudden feeling came over Ryden, one that he knew all to well. He opened his eyes, his glowing eyes, to see the old mans face. Ryden threw his head back and the mirror exploded, pure energy rippling off him, the old man flying off him as well; and then it was strange, this feeling that came over him. This sensation that seemed, wrong, but he didn't care. He threw his head down again, and everything was normal. The mirror was repaired, the bathroom was empty and undamaged; he turned around and stared at the mirror wiping off the blood from when the old man bit his lip. He smirked as the old man's face surfaced in the window, he slammed his fists against the mirror over and over again.
Ryden looked down at the sink and turned on the faucet, he placed his hand under the water and smiled. He raised his dripping hand to the mirror - eyes still glowing, while still smiling - and tapped the mirror, it rippled from the spot where he touched it and the man screamed as it looked like he was washed away.
He turned and left the bathroom, his footsteps seemed to echo as he approached his spot. His eyes were still glowing as they made contact with Andy's, a small smile crossed his features as he winked at him.
Ryden sighed, and stirred his coffee around bored, a hand clamps down on his shoulder and he turns to face them - eyes aglow. He relaxed a little realizing that it was only Lauren. "Come on." She said wrapping her arm around his in a friendly way.
*Time Shift*
He skipped across the landing, bored. "Don't worry at first it's like a sneeze, it just happens, but as you learn you'll be able to control it. What were you feeling when you use your powers?"
"I just wanted to push them away."
"You certainly did push them away," she joked shoving him slightly, "What about you Ryden? What were you feeling the first time you used your powers?"
Ryden spun around to face them, blowing a bubble with the gum in his mouth, remembering the time he used his powers, the event that started it all. "That there were too many people...and we needed to hurry."
She laughed at his answer, "Why were you in such a rush?"
Ryden froze and he could feel Andy tense, "Claustrophobia."
"Okay that makes sense, not really." She whispers that last part to Andy who remained silent. An idea sparked in her as she pulled Andy along and grabbed Ryden's hand, "Come on I have an idea."
They stopped in front of the vending machine and Ryden watches as Lauren explained the basic way of learning how to control your powers, he tilted his head as the vending machine ripped in half, he watches as a piece of metal flew into his shoulder, he watches as he doesn't scream in pain.
He swarms Lauren grabbing her hand, making sure she was alright. "Come on." He whispers, urging her back to the room. His hand slams against the wall as all the breath leaves him and his eyes turn completely silver. He was cold, so incredibly cold.
"Ryden."
"Ryden."
"Ryden."
"Damn it Ryden." The voice shouts, and then there was this warm feeling. And he opened his eyes, staring at this boy, who he thought no longer wanted to talk to him anymore. He pulled away and stared at him, a small smile on his lips. "You okay?"
"Yeah."
"Alright then." He whispered interlocking their fingers, the rest was all a blur.
He doesn't really remember stealing the car, or the other car or the drone incident. He just remembers Andy, and he remembers their lips entangled, and...the gas station bathroom.
"We're here." He heard the dad say as he pulled Andy out his way, he saw the man first and already didn't trust him.
"Sentinel Services." He whispered as he turned his head to the direction where the cars showed up, and there they were running throughout an abandoned building. And the room that almost took Andy, he stopped breathing coming out in chills. His eyes a maleficent green, he began walking towards the direction the portal would be opened, he didn't know how he knew that he he just did, it was weird. But he raised his arms, hands in the forms of guns. Repetition, he thought, how wonderful.
"Click." They were still running he was a little behind them.
"Click." The officer felt weird but thought it was the fact that this was his first mission.
"Boom." The word echoed through the empty building and the guard lost all control, Ryden pressed down the thumbs and the gunshots went off. Two agents down, the possessed officer turning to shoot more. A maleficent laugh echoed throughout the building as Agent Turner looked up in horror, "Shatter." The guard screamed as an explosion of pain sounded throughout his head, and he collapsed to the floor. Everything was wrong, his mind was falling a part everything was falling a part, everything was still.
"Capture the green eyed boy." His voice echoed throughout the building and Ryden bit his lip, knowing that he was screwed.
He saw the portal open and smiled, "Thank you for letting me fall in love, Andy Strucker." He whispered as he shoved Andy through the portal as a shot sound out, and he felt the paralysis bullet enter his system, losing all control of his body. And then a second shot and a strong push, spinning through the air he could see Andy's dad smiled at him as he pushes Ryden through the portal.
It closes and everything goes dark. "Fuck.
