Chapter 3 - The Talk

I woke up that morning trying to forget the events that happened the night before. I got dressed and then walked out of my room.

My aunt and sister were in the dinning room eating breakfast. I never ate breakfast at home, it's been like that ever since highschool.

"I'm heading out, I'll be back later." I said while opening the door.

"Okay just be careful out there." my aunt said while continuing to bring food to the table.

I opened the door and put my earbud in. I walked down the stairs and went down the street. The street's weren't that busy in the mornings and barley anyone would be out. Usually only a few people that would be doing jobs.

I had been walking for quite some time now. I lived 25 minutes away from the school and we didn't have a car, but I didn't mind the walk. It was nice to have some time to myself to get my thoats cleared.

I was walking and felt something watching me. I looked around and their was nothing, still I felt it. I continued to walk until I saw a droid crawling on the side of a building with it's giant one eye staring down at me.

When it noticed that I saw it it sprinted down the alley. I hesitated and then started running after it. That thing saw what happened last night. No one can find out about it, if they do then I'm dead for. What had happened to me wasn't like anything that has been heard of, I'm still in shock from it. There's something wrong with me and that thing might have the awnsers.

I ran down the alley chassing after the droid. It crawled on the walls with it's two sharp legs leaving it an easy target to follow because it wasnt too quiet. It continued to run and I continued to chase it. It wasn't going to get away from me.

It came to a street and ran across it. I pulled my hoodie up and ran in the middle of traffic. There were some people that knew me and I'd hate to have them telling my aunt what I did.

It ran in a corner and froze. It stopped moving and just stared at the wall.

"Ha! I got you now." I said to the droid. I didn't know what I was going to do to it, but it wasn't going to get away.

I walked towards it and a female chuckling came from the droid. I froze and it slowly turned around. It continued to laugh while it started projecting a video of my arm changing.

"Stop that!" I screamed at it, for even looking at it and remembering what had happened didn't make me feel good.

I felt something happening to my arm. Oh no it's happening again! I grabbed my arm and saw it spreading. it got to my hand and almost all of my arm when a voice spoke.

"That will be all Aq3." a female voice spoke and the video of my arm changing disappeared. I felt my arm start changing back to normal.

"Now now, there's no need to worry. I know you Anthony, there's no need to be afraid. See, I was a friend of your parents and we and them did many crazy things back in the day." she spoke.

I turned around slowly. I took a good look at the lady. She was old with dark black hair and pale skin. She wore all black but the inside of her hoodie was red. Her eyes though. They were dark red, almost purple like. She stood there so calm it made me shiver.

"I know your family never told you what happened to your parent's, I'm pretty sure they never knew the full story. But I well I know exactly what happened" she chuckled and her droid crawled onto her shoulder.

"Your parent's are people you would never believe and the fate of them isn't what you've been told, but I'm sure you already knew that they didn't die in a car accident." she was right. I didn't believe that my parents died in a car accident, but that doesn't mean that she knows anything. She doesn't know them she's just saying she does!

I stood there with my head down. Anger filled me because I knew that she didn't really know my parents, she's just trying to get in my head! I felt both of my arms start to change in color and I felt a wave of power flow through them.

"And there it is." She chuckled, "That's what we've been looking for."

Then I noticed what happened and freaked out. I tried calming but I couldn't.

"Calm down. I know what this is. This is why I sent Aq3 after you. We've been looking for people who hold your power and your someone we've been watching for quite some time. Ever since you were young, we knew you had it in you, but it just wasn't coming out. We've been watching ever since, waiting for the day that it would. And now, well it's finnaly happened." She chuckled quietly and took out a card and handed it to me.

"The name is Holley. This is my number and this isn't the last time you'll be hearing from me. Your parents and I still have unfinished business and your gonna make up for it." She walked off into the street while I stood there frozen.

What did she mean? Everything she was saying didn't make sense. What power do I have? I don't have a power! I couldn't think of my arm problem because I refused to let that be what she meant. What did she mean that her and my parents had unfinished business? I've never heard anything about this. I was scared. I rolled my jacket sleeves down to hide that my arms were blue and put the card inside of my jacket. I continued my walk to school trying to ignore the events that just happened, but I couldn't forget.
