Chapter 1: A party that lead to a fateful meeting


London, England 2007

"I don't get why am I having to come along to this stupid business party." A young 11-year-old kid asked annoyed at the older man who was driving the car.

The fair skinned boy had short chocolate brown hair and grey eyes that was placed in a sleek side part style and grey eyes as he was wearing a smart black suit with a red tie and black suit trousers as he was currently looking uncomfortable at the clothing that he was currently wearing but the thing that was the most catching was the red weird shaped neckless that looked like it had nose and limbs on it as it was tied round on his neck.

"Because last time Kell, I left you on your own, you made it looked like a bull somehow charged into the house and went on a rampage in the house." The older looking man said.

The man had Almond skin with him having a bald head and same eye coloured as Kell. The man however wore a white button up shirt and over the top of it he wore a navy-blue waste coat and the same navy blue suit trousers. The man also had worn a smart looking brown glasses.

"That was one time Shakur!" Kell shouted in and crossing his arm like a child which he technically was.

The now named Shakur raised a right eyebrow, "And it was enough to cost me a month of my wages, and I didn't let come with me to leave Baltimore so that you can start going crazy in a different country, Kell."

Kell looked down.

From what Kell knew from Shakur, ever since the death of his mother following his birth, their father went back to his old ways of drinking, drugs and womanizing as it was as Shakur put it, the way to deal with his mother's death.

Along with that it also lead to Kell now having three more siblings with the youngest two the twins, Markus and Elizabeth. Both twins and him were very close to each other as they were the only ones of his half siblings with the exceptions that actually lived with him in his father's back when they lived in Baltimore, but they had to stay behind when Kell was offered by Shakur to live in England.

Nevertheless, Kell saw Shakur more of a father then his actually father despite them being half-brothers because of how his father was being neglectful to him and his sibling with him either being drunk, high or just being away from home forcing both him and his brother to have to basically raise the twins.

"And Kell?" Kell was snapped out of his inner thoughts as he heard Shakur, "No using your powers in the party."

Kell had telekinesis that he had discovered after his father tried to throw a beer bottle at him when he was still a very young kid. It happened after he almost got ran over by a car about 6 years ago which it happened purely by instinct which caused the car the go flying.

Thankfully when the car went flying, many just assumed that the driver was drunk and that Kell survived by pure luck.

Kell however discovered his powers not too long when he accidently sent Markus flying after they were play wrestling.

Since then Kell had to keep his powers secret because of them not wanting to risk the government coming after his head for test or somethings. Kell however since then Kell had felt like he was some freaks from those movies that he had watched where because humans won't accept him thanks to his powers, and he hates it.

"I'm not stupid about it, Shakur…" Kell said in a dejected tone.

Shakur most of noticed the tone as well keeping one hand on the wheel, placed another hand on his son's shoulder.

"I know that you don't like having to keep your powers hidden but I don't want my little brother being risked being hunted down by the government and being put onto a lab table or something." Shakur reasoned with his little half-brother.

Kell sighed, "I know but when I go to school and people saying that they expected me to be cooler or some girls saying that they expected me to be more like those American stereotype of the 'Tall, hot guy' or some shit like that, it just pisses me off." Kell said a little bit bitterly.

"A) Your eleven, so mind you language Kell." Shakur scolded him, "And B) I understand that the struggle of adapting from the US to UK, but you promised me that you would keep your powers hidden when we moved to London if I were to let you go to school instead of going to a private school or being homeschool." Shakur them reminded in a more gentle way.

Kell looked down remembering his promise to his brother.

"I know it's just that…" Kell trailed off.

Shakur gave his brother a pat on the shoulder, "I know and maybe one day, you can reveal your power in public but today is not that day.

The two eventually arrived at what looked like a very fancy building and Kell could see that they were many different people that were going towards the building as Shakur parked the car and afterwards the two half brothers stepped out of the car.

"Besides two friends of mine are bring their daughter with them and I would love to introduce you to them." Shakur told his little half-brother, "and who knows, their daughter and you two might get along with each other."

"I don't know about that." Kell said.

Kell back when he was in Baltimore would be what you would call being a street kid because of how he would regularly get into trouble with people and especially when he was in the school along with not having a good father figure with his father shit being a nice way to put it. Since moving to the UK, Kell had changed slightly better, but he still had a bit of a short temperament and wasn't much of a people person.

In fact you can kind of say that he's a bit of a dick which is another reason why it's hard for him to be friends with literally anyone in the UK.

"Just try and get along with them." Shakur asked his little brother.

Kell sighed looking at his brother's face, "Fine..." He said while rolling his eyes.

'What's the worst that can happen?' Kell thought to himself.


Inside the building, 1 hour later

'I just had to jinx myself.' Kell though in despair as he was sitting down in his seat.

The whole party to say was the case of the rich was celebrating their wealth and doing in a very luxurious party or something like that.

Now Kell knew that he was kinda out of place because unlike Shakur, Kell wasn't good at being in these kinds of posh places and when he was in them and with some pretty posh people which caused to feel like this was somewhere that he didn't belong.

Right now he was currently sitting on his table having some Lobster risotto which is something that he wouldn't usually have but he just felt like having it today and it did taste pretty good.

His brother meanwhile was speaking to multiple different people that looked important.

Kell was currently chilling out as he was eating and was also listening to some Eminem lose yourself on some headphones that he had on so that people got the idea that he didn't want to talk to anyone, but he could see that people were giving him his look that were slightly making him feel uncomfortable.

'Who would have thought that I would feel more comfortable in Baltimore with how you could literally just get killed or robbed while walking to school then here with a bunch of the high-end people that work for a very rich company.' Kell thought to himself.

Kell then felt someone tapped his shoulder.

He removed his headphones and turned around to see that it was Shakur and that there two people there.

Now his brother was a tall person standing around 6 foot 3 but the man that he was standing next to was like a human mountain as he stood around 6 foot 9 and had a bulky almost basketball player build and looked to be in his late 30s to early 40s. The man had short grey hair, and he had also dark blue eye colour, and he was also Ivory white skin, he was also wearing a very big black suit.

The most intimidating thing about him being that he had a ice cold expression on his face that looked like he was either planning to punch your teeth in or he looked like he was the kind of person that looked hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

The women meanwhile looked to have been a couple of years younger roughly in her early to mid-30s but for a women she stood surprisingly tall at 5 foot 10 and she was a more medium tanned skin. The women had long honey blonde hair that looked like reached the middle of her back as well as her having bright blue eyes. The women had a purple dress and was also wearing some beautiful looking jewellery.

Now Kell wasn't really one to pay attention to a girl's looks but even he was willing to admit that the women looks beautiful.

"Kell, I want to introduce you to my two co-workers. This is Artem and Victoria Wojciechowski. Guys this is my younger brother Ezekiel." Shakur introduced Kell to his two co-workers using his full first name which slightly annoyed Kell a bit but choose not to comment on it.

Kell had shook hands with both of them though he felt a wired feeling in his stomach when it came to shaking hands with Artem as he felt something familiar but at the same time that something felt off with the man and he didn't know what specific.

Kell choose to ignore it for now, "It's nice to meet you two, Mr and Mrs Wojciechowski." Kell managed to say his last name properly because he did know how to speak multiple different eastern European languages because of him being told by Shakur being that his mother was from Eastern Europe though he was never told by his brother which Eastern European country his mother had come from.

Artem smiled at the boy, "It's nice to meet you too young man." Artem greeted with a Polish accent before he moved his hand back, "I've heard multiple things about you from your brother."

"Good things I hope." Kell responded.

Artem smiled slightly, "Well I heard something about you breaking the Tv because of Liverpool losing the Champions League to AC Milian."

Kell felt slightly embarrassed because despite being from the States and also that he was currently lives in London, Kell was always a massive fan of Liverpool for the past 3 years and he will admit that he went insane when Liverpool lost to AC Milian last month, he went a bit nuts.

Kell glared at his brother who he could see was smirking at him.

"Don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong showing passion for your football or as you Americans would say soccer." Artem said which made Kell turned his attention back on the older man.

Victoria then made her way over to shake hands with Kell, "It's nice to meet you as well Ezekiel." She said in a very British accent though it did annoy him a tiny bit that she used his full first name then just using Kell, "You look to be the same age as my daughter."

"It's nice to meet you as well." Kell said while shaking her hand.

Victoria smiled, "Hold on let me just grab my daughter, I would love for you to meet her." Victoria said as she went to look for her daughter.

Kell meanwhile was just standing around and noticing that Artem was speaking to Shakur but the whole thing concerning the older man felt off to Kell and he could have sworn that when he wasn't looking at his direction, Artem was taking glances at him.

And every time that he had turned to him, Kell always felt something inside of his body telling him to run for his life.

Kell then saw Victoria return with a girl that looked to be around the same age as him.

The Girl looked similar to her mother in both skin tone and also in eye colour but the main differences being that obviously she was younger, and that the girl had more of a light blonde hair which looked like it was a mix from both her parents. The girl was also wearing a beautiful dark blue dress.

The girl also seemed to take after her parents when it came to her height because while Kell stood in around 4 foot 9, the girl in comparison was about 5 foot 3 making her about 6 inches taller than him.

"Ezekiel, Shakur." Victoria called out to both brothers which made them look at both her and her daughter, "This is my daughter Veronica. Veronica this is mine and you fathers co-worker, Shakur James and his younger brother Ezekiel James." Victoria introduced her daughter to both brothers.

Shakur shook Veronica's hand, "It's nice to meet you, Veronica. And I must say that you are a very beautiful girl for you age." Shakur complements the younger girl as he introduces himself.

The girl blushes a bit at the compliment, "Thank you for the compliment. And nice to meet you as well." She responded in a London accent.

Shakur smiled as he then pushed Kell forward.

"And this is my little brother Ezekiel." Shakur introduced his little brother to Veronica.

Kell rolled his eyes at his brother, "Her mother literally just told her my name." Kell then looked at the girl, "Nice to meet you though" He said offering a handshake to the taller girl.

Veronica shakes hands with Kell, "It's nice to meet you as well Ezekiel." She replied.

"Just call me Kell. Every time I hear someone call me by my full name, I feel like I magically become as old as this guy." Kell said pointing to his older brother behind him which made him had to ignore a "Hey!" from Shakur.

This caused Veronica to giggle slightly at Kell's comment and smile slightly.

Then the two kids noticed someone come up to the adults and talked with them silently so that the kids wouldn't overhear.

Eventually Victoria went up to her daughter, "Veronica, Your father and I need to go deal with something from work. Can you behave yourself while we're gone?" She asked her daughter.

Veronica nodded.

Shakur looked over towards Veronica and then his little brother, "Can you stay with Veronica while me and the Wojciechowski deal with some things with our work?" He asked Kell.

This confused Kell, "And why?"

Shakur sighed, "Because you've basically an introvert who it's because I've managed to get you to become to do Martial Arts that prevented you from getting you into trouble and into trouble with the law. It's because of that is that you don't have any friends that is in your age group." This caused Kell to look a little bit piss before Shakur continued, "So I'm hoping that both you and Veronica can become friends. Or at the least try to become friends." Shakur reasoned.

Kell looked at his brother who gave him a look that he would use to try and convince his brother to do something.

Kell rolled his eye and sighed, "Fine."

Shakur smirked and went off with both Wojciechowski before giving one more look towards his brother, "And Kell…" This caught Kell's attention, "No getting into trouble." He told him before he and the Wojciechowski both went off leaving the two 11-year-olds being left to themselves.

Kell went back to having his food meanwhile Veronica had went to go get herself a chicken salad and went onto the table that Kell was eating on.

The two of them had eat their respected foods in silent but the two of them would occasionally take glances at each other but they wouldn't say anything to each other.

That was mostly because when it came to Veronica, she wasn't really someone that dealt with kids her age because her father decided to have her homeschooled for some reason even when her mother tried to convince him otherwise, but he wouldn't listen. Meanwhile you got Kell who was more of a street kid and already was an introvert, so add that along with him feeling out of place living in the UK and especially in this fancy party and that makes things awkward.

After a couple more minutes of silent and the two had finished their meal.

"So…." Kell said awkwardly, "What's live like?" Kell cringed at his wording.

"It's been good I suppose." Veronica said in a very uncertain tone, "I'm sorry, I've not really interacted with anyone my age." She apologise.

"Oh really?" Kell was now curious.

"Yes, my father decided to have me homeschool since I was only a child so interaction between me and anyone whose similar age to me is rare. Much less someone from whose outside the England." She revealed.

Kell laughed a bit, "I can understand that." He responded which caused Veronica looked intrigued which made him continued, "I'm used to being more into trouble with authority because I would get into fight with people, maybe try to steal something. That kind of things." He answered the unanswered question.

Veronica looked surprised, "I honestly see you doing something like that." She said in a surprised tone.

"You know that looks can be deceiving right?" Kell shrugged.

"That is true I supposed but you don't strike me as a-" " A guy from the hood?" Kell said with small smirk.

Veronica looked a bit surprised, "Oh I didn't mean to insult you or anything!" She said worried that she might have offended him.

Kell chuckled slightly, "No don't worry about it. It's fine."

The two shared a laugh and made some enjoyable small talk between the two of them.

That was when on the neckless that Kell hadn't really paid too much attention to originally until now that he had a closer look on it and it caused his eyes wider since the neckless looked similar to his.

"Um… Kell?" Kell then noticed that Veronica had a concerned look on her face, "Are you alright? You've just been staring intensely all of a sudden." She asked concerned.

Kell then grabbed the neckless on his neck, "That neckless on your neck. It looks like mine." He told her.

Veronica then grabbed her neckless and took a good look at it before looking at Kell's neckless, "They do look very similar… where did you get yours from?"

"I got it as gift that apparently my mother wanted to give to me before she died because of complications from my birth." Kell answered.

"I got mine from my father about 4 years ago." Veronica revealed when it came to her neckless.

'Then that leaves the question on where did my mother get her neckless from." Kell thought to himself.

Kell never seen a neckless like his and Veronica's before and every time he went near a jewellery shop, he never saw any of them with this red neckless on it.

So that left the question…

Where the hell did this neckless come from?

Just before they can go into asking more question, the two 11-year-olds hear a "Hey!" Which made them turn and see both of Veronica's parents and Shakur.

Both of the 11-year-olds went to their families before Artem told Veronica, "Veronica. We're going home."

This caused Veronica to look confuse, "But father, we've haven't been here long." She told him.

"I know but I've just had a call from some close associates of mine and I'm needed for an emergency meeting, and you have tutors coming tomorrow as well so it is important that you get some sleep." Artem told his daughter.

Veronica knew that her father could have meeting because of his other job that she didn't know much about but knew that it was apparently important to him.

Veronica nodded and turned to Kell and gave him a soft smile, "I guess it was nice meeting you Kell."

Kell smiled back, "It was nice meeting you too. Hope we meet again." Kell responded with Veronica nodding.

"Me too."

Both Victoria and Shakur smiled seeing the two getting along especially with their differing personalities.

Artem on the other hand had a look of interest in his face before a smile appeared on his face, "I have a feeling that you two will meet again quite soon until then it was nice to meet you, Ezekiel." He said before he and the rest of his family began to leave.

Kell spent a few more hours with Shakur before the two of them began to leave.

"I'm actually surprised that you and Veronica got along with each other." Shakur said as the two entered the car.

Kell shrugged, "I guess that the two of us had personality that could mix well." He responded.

Shakur smiled, "I'm glad that the two of you got along." He said before beginning to drive the two home.

Meanwhile Kell as a way to entertain himself on the way put his headphones on to listen to music while he used his powers to send a rubik's cube floating in front of him and began trying to solve it as the two brothers were on their way home.


Sometime later in ?

A tall man that was standing in a demonic looking that overlooked a nightmare like forest with lots of the trees looking like they were burned down or something. With the most pronounced part of the whole place being that the whole sky was crimson red with their being occasional purple lightning appearing from time to time.

The tall man had a large cloak that was black and had crimson red outlines to it and around the cloak. He had the hood up which made it to see anything about his face apart from the fact that he had blood red eyes and that parts of his hair that showed was silver.

Behind him was multiple different people both male and female that had similar cloaks but unlike the one in front, their cloaks looked more like they were of less importance than the one in front.

All of them were waiting for someone to appear so that they could get this emergency meeting underway.

It didn't take too long as soon a dark portal opened and in it was a really tall man wearing the same cloak that the others were as he exited the portal and made his way over to them.

"You are late." The main leader said in an almost demonic tone.

The man that was addressed to bowed in respect, "Forgive me my lord." The man said in a familiar tone, "But I have discovered something of great importance."

The leader tilted his head, "Oh? And what is that you had asked me to arranged an emergency meeting so suddenly?"

"I have met a boy who I sensed power from. Power that can only come from one of us." The man informed everyone there.

This caused shock to other people that was there who them began shouting things like "Impossible!" or "He's lying!".

The leader then raised his hand in order to silence them.

"Are you accusing that someone here was hiding a child and keeping them away from our order?" He questioned.

"No my lord." He shook his head, "I however when I sensed the boy's power found that it had felt familiar." He explained.

"Oh?" The leader looked in interest now, "Familiar how?"

"Familiar as in the kind and amount of power that I was sensing." He answered, "I have only sensed that kind of power from two individuals. You my lord and the traitor Merli-GAHH!" He as cut off as a red purplish like viper wrapped around his neck as a same-coloured energy formed round his body picking him up.

The leader whose hands were glowing with that energy and had his had clench into a fist which caused the energy to wrap around the man's body even tighter causing him to cry out more in pain and try and gasp for air.

"I thought that I had made it clear to never mention the traitors name in my presence." The leader said with an aura forming around his body which made the others that were behind him to take step backs in fear of their leader.

"GAHH f-forgive me m-my l-lord…" He barely breathed out before being dropped to the floor gasping for breath.

"However I am interested to know why you believe why this child would belong to her as I doubt you came to that conclusion just because of his powers feeling similar to hers as she betrayed us so long ago. " The leader said looking down at his disciple.

After taking a few more moments to recatch his breath before standing back up to look at his leader, "Part of it was because of the power I sensed from the boy my lord. But the other half came from the Behelit on his neck my lord and that only the traitor would of have that. So added with her power that I sensed in him." The man trailed off as he hoped his leader could see where he was coming from.

The leader looked at him with a blank expression before saying, "So you plan on discovering if this boy is indeed the child of the traitor by…" His crimson red eyes that started glowing with power as everyone knew what he was doing and the man that he was talking to did as well as he started shaking violently at what his leader was doing.

After a few more moments the leaders eyes returned back to normal, "I see." The leader said to himself before looking back at his disciple, "And you believe that this plan will be successful?" He questioned.

The man nodded, "Yes, my lord. I have little to no doubt that my plan will become successful." He answered with both fear of his lord and confidence in his plan.

The leader observed his disciple and thought through his plan in his head before closing his eyes as he had made his decision, "Very well. I will allow you to proceed with this plan of yours, but I'll warn you now, do not fail me." He warned.

The man bowed, "I thank you my lord and I promise that this plan shall succeed." He promised before he then used his powers to open up a portal and left to begin to formulate his plan.


Three weeks later at Tottenham Secondary School

Kell was slouched down on his desk during tutorial, which was basically registration, talk with your peers for a bit before being sent out into your first class of the day and Kell can say without a shadow of a doubt that there was two things that he hated more than anything else…

The first being that he hated how everyone here mostly supported Spurs which to Kell seemed like that was a fate worse than death but that lead to most of the boys not liking him because he supports Liverpool.

He's American, he's allowed to support whoever he feels like.

And the second thing being that he could tell why this school was what you would call a 'Leftovers school' meaning that this school took basically all of the reject his age and put them into one school which involved outcast like him, boys who looked like they had a future… in crime while the girls well the less he said the better.

Right now Kell was currently wearing a dark blue blazer which had the schools on the right side of his chest, he was also wearing a white button up t-shirt. He also wore a dark blue and silver tie along with having on some black school trousers and black school shoes.

It's only been month since he started secondary school and already, he was already hating this place.

'Then again it's better then going to some of the posh schools.' He thought to himself.

"Class!" His tutor, Mr Davies called out to the class, "Today we have a new student."

This caught the attention of the entire class.

And then walked in a familiar tall blonde hair girl that was now wearing the school uniform.

"This is Veronica Wojciechowski, I hope that all of you will get along with her." He said to the class.

Veronica looked over to where Kell was and the both of them had a shocked look at seeing the other but the both of them managed to keep control over themselves to making a scene and went to focusing on their situations.

There was one thing that Kell was thinking though…

"What the fuck?'


AN: And now I'm ending it on that note and sorry if the conversations between both Kell and Veronica was a bit awkward but do remember that the both of them were both pre-teens and that their preteens that are meeting each other for the first time.

That will be it for now, so if you have a request then feel free to leave you thoughts in the review and until next time, take care!
