My mom signed me up to work for a couple days before school no mom y u do dis I need to write my story and watch anime I don't wanna work ;~;
Anyway here's Chapter 10~
Kai's P.O.V.
Tyler spent the rest of the day with Jerry. I could tell Zane and Amanda were upset. Their own son got along better with a stranger than he got along with the people who raised them. They asked everyone to leave them alone for a while.
I was still overjoyed that Jules was alive. For what seemed like years, she had been missing, and all the evidence led to her being... gone. Now that I think of it, it's only been a week or two without her - but it still feels like forever.
The Serpentine are DEFINITELY going to pay for killing out unborn child. I plan on burning all of their insides while they're still living.
Speaking of Serpentine, the alarm went off, signalling an attack. For once, Tyler didn't drag ass getting ready. He looked... eerily enthusiastic. I hope that meeting his biological father doesn't screw with his head too much.
Joey's P.O.V.
"The Serpentine sure have been robbing a lot of banks lately," Brian said on the way to the bank. By now, all of us were able to turn our golden weapons into vehicles.
"Trying to rob them," Ryan corrected.
"Yea, we're so good we stop them every time without a problem," Zack continued.
"Says the kid who can't tie his shoes and kept tripping over them last time," Jess said, causing everyone - even Zack - to laugh.
"Ok, here's our strategy today," Toby started. "We go in, kick some snake tail, return the money, and go home and sleep." That last comment made me realize that the sun was already setting.
At the bank, the Serpentine had just broken into the safe an were bagging up the money. One snake - who still had a black eye from last time we fought the Serpentine - face-palmed at the sight of us. Another started crying.
Tyler was the first to attack. He seemed a little too eager today.
I noticed that everyone else was just standing there awkwardly watching him. That's when I saw that look on his face again - that sadistic grin that screamed I want to murder everything. We watched as he picked up a snake by its throat, stabbed an ice shuriken into his chest, and freeze his heart. Then he kicked the body across the room.
The other Serpentine were so frightened that they dropped the money they were stealing and ran outside, willing put on handcuffs, and jumped into the backseats of the awaiting police cars.
But apparently Tyler wasn't done yet. He started to chase after the snakes - probably to kill them as well - but Toby blocked the door.
"Dude, the Serpentine are already being arrested, our work is done here. Let's just go home..."
Tyler's grin grew larger and his eyes grew wider. He cracked his knuckles and moved closer to Toby, who started to panic a little. "Uh, um, what are you - Tyler, I'm not a snake!"
"I never said you were," Tyler responded in monotone. Toby looked like he was about to cry - which is COMPLETELY unlike him.
I heard someone come in the other door behind us, but I didn't look. None of us did. We were too paralyzed with fear to even blink.
Toby finally decided to run out of the door he was blocking, and Tyler slowly followed; his motions were kind of like serial killers in horror movies - all he did was walk, but it was still threatening and he most likely will catch up no matter how fast you run.
Luckily, whoever came in the door a minute ago tackled him to the ground. They landed outside the door, and the five of us (Ryan, Zack, Jess, Brian, and I) finally snapped out of our trance to see who saved Toby.
Jess and Brian immediately ran off to find Toby, while the twins and I stared in shock at the black ninja's savior:
Steph.
She had Tyler pinned to the ground in a hug and he was crying... a LOT. I've never seen the kid shed a tear in his life, and now here he was bawling like a baby. Steph turned her head and said, "All of you need to leave. NOW."
I started to respond. "Steph, you need to get out of here, too. He's lost it - "
She pulled a dagger out of her back pocket and pointed at me. "LEAVE. I can handle this. Just GO."
"But - "
"Do you have a death wish or something?! GET OUT OF HERE ALREADY!"
I stared for a second longer, then turn and left, the twins following. I was so confused. First Tyler turns on his teammates, then Steph comes out of nowhere, and Tyler CRIED, and Steph pointed a dagger at her brother and her two best friends... Maybe this was all a dream.
The twins were as speechless as I was. But instead of going home, they ducked around the side of the bank, motioning for me to follow.
"I don't trust Tyler," Ryan explained. "We shouldn't leave her alone with him. No matter what." I nodded in agreement.
Steph's P.O.V.
I thought my head was going to explode. It felt like I was watching as some other person took over my body. All I knew was I had a terrible feeling that Tyler was in trouble and I had to help. It's like I could actually here his voice saying "Help me". Then suddenly I was running to the bank where I knew he would be, tackling him to the ground, and out of nowhere the person controlling my body had a dagger pointed at Joey.
Remembering I had tackled Tyler and not gotten up, I crawled over to the side of the building and curled up in a ball, squeezing my head in my hands. My head was spinning, so many thoughts crowded my mind... I kinda really wanted to just punch something. I've had this feeling a couple times since I turned into a teenager, but
Somewhere in the distance I heard Tyler's crying stop. Crap, did I make him cry?! I couldn't tell, and I couldn't care less right now.
Unable to control the urge to pound something, I turned and punched the wall behind me as hard as I could. The wall dented a little, but strength like that came along with having earth powers - or all of the elemental powers for that matter. My knuckles started to bleed a little, but my head still wanted to explode, and punching things felt good, so I went to punch the wall some more, except a hand stopped me.
"You're scaring me," I heard Tyler's voice say, snapping me back into reality. "You're acting like me, that's scary. Stop it."
"What?" I said, watching the blood ooze from my hand some more.
Tyler must have seen it, too, because he helped me stand and said, "You need to get to a hospital."
"Why?" I said. I don't know what you're talking about Tyler. It's just blood. Blood isn't bad.
Yes it is, said his voice in my mind. If you lose a lot of blood you can die.
"Why is your voice in my head?" I said.
He blushed. "I'll explain later. But you need a hospital."
"No..."
"Yes, you do, dammit."
Tyler's P.O.V.
I don't know how she did it, but somehow Stephanie was able to calm me down enough so I didn't kill Toby. I'm not proud that I cried as much as I did after that little episode, but thank goodness she was there. Why she was there, I don't know.
But now she sounds... well, like me. My dad - just kidding, Zane told me that I'm partially insane, but I don't see it. So what, I have anger issues sometimes. That doesn't make me crazy. I don't think Steph is crazy either, but I am worried about her. After I was "diagnosed" with insanity, my life pretty much went down the toilet. She deserves better. She has people to care about her.
After Steph got her hand fixed up (luckily she didn't need stitches or anything), she seemed a lot better.
"Thank you for taking me to the hospital," she said. "And sorry I kinda lost my head, I don't know what was wrong with me... Why are you taking care of me, anyway?"
I felt myself blush, but forced it to go away. "Well, uh, you've been nice to me so, I just wanted to return the favor." I paused before continuing. "Also I think I know why you acted the way you did."
"How?" Before I could respond, someone's phone started ringing. "Oh, sorry, it's my dad."
"Don't answer it," I said quickly.
"Why not?"
I sighed. "It's just... We need to talk before you try explaining this to anyone else."
She rolled her eyes and answered it anyway. "Hey, Dad, what's up?"
"Where the hell are you? Joey and the others came home without Tyler, no one's saying what went on but I heard them say something about you." Damn, Kai was so loud... he must have been REALLY pissed.
"Dad, I told you I just went for a walk. I kinda lost track of where I was going and went NEAR where they were fighting. Besides, I saw the cops putting the snakes in handcuffs when I got there, so the fight was already over, and there was no danger. Trust me, I'm not gonna fight with them any time soon." That seemed to appease him, but I'm surprised how well she handled that. "No, I didn't go inside the bank." Well, that was a lie. "I don't know where Tyler is. Like I said, I wasn't in the bank, so I didn't see any of the ninja, or Jess." That was also a lie. I'm standing right here. "Alright, I'll see you when I get home... love you, too. Bye."
"You just lied to your dad," I said in disbelieve when she hung up.
"Yea, and? You're the one who said I shouldn't explain what actually happened to others, and I can't just ignore his call. So what do you need to tell me?"
"We should probably go sit somewhere or something. This might take a while."
Alrighty, so some interesting stuff happened in this chapter. Next chapter should be up on/before Sunday (since it won't be done before Thursday like I originally planned).
So yea, that is all for now. See y'all later. Have a great day & don't forget to review :)
