Jessica said, tears forming in her eyes, the horror evident in her voice and across her beautiful face. My mom treated Jessica like she was her own daughter. Sometimes, she would come over when I wasn't home and just hang out with my mom all day.
I stayed silent. I ran up to my mom and immediately checked her heartbeat. It was weak but it was there. I picked her up bridal style making sure not to touch the knife in her stomach. I grabbed Jessica's hand and I teleported us to the roof of the hospital.
After making sure there was nobody at the bottom I Blinked us down to the bottom. We ran inside startling the people in the waiting room.
"Somebody, help! We need help right fuckin now!" I shouted at the type of my lungs. Tears were streaming down my face, and my throat was sore.
Three nurses and a doctor came running at us with a stretcher. I laid her on the stretcher, giving her a kiss on the forehead and finally took the note off the knife. I opened the note and read it. "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH US BITCH, DON'T FUCK WITH FKD." I stood there with hate in my eyes. I probably should have expected something like this to happen, after all most of the guys that jumped me were apart of FKD. FKD is a gang based out out of the Frankford area of North Philly. They pretty much control all of Philadelphia. They're notorious for their ruthlessness. I've heard stories of them killing children just because they won a fight against the kid of a member.
I always had a feeling that something like this would happen. The first two months after I kicked their asses I would rush home looking behind my back, paranoid that any car driving by would roll down their windows and start shooting at me. Sure, I'm not afraid of anyone anymore but that doesn't mean I want to get shot. And yeah, I've seen videos of Conduits taking bullets before but I was not about to test that theory on myself.
Anyway, once another two months had passed without any bullets flying past me I figured they didn't care. Now I know how stupid that thought was. They had waited until my guard was down, the bastards, but if they wanted to start a fight then I'll give em a war.
I turned to Jessica and said, "It was fuckin FKD they finally decided to get me back for what I did to those guys. I'm gonna make them pay for this if it's the last thing I do."
I'm sure she could see the hatred and determination in my eyes. And she said, "Aiden, I understand you're angry and so am I but you need to take some time to calm down. Think about it, sure you have powers and you're pretty good with them but this is an entire gang we're talking about they have hundreds of members maybe even thousands. You can't honestly expect to-"
"Dammit Jessica I have to try!" I yelled before I realised that she was just trying to help. I hugged her close to my chest "I'm… sorry sweetheart, It's just… this is my fault… I did this and I gotta make it right." I was not gonna let them get away with this.
"I know Aiden" she said in a very calming voice. "But if you're serious about this you should really take some time and learn more about your powers."
I sighed knowing she was right. If I wanted to have even a small chance to take on this gang, I'd have to do some serious training. "You're right princess. As soon as I find out her condition I'm gonna start training."
