Chereads / Demon's Lightning / Chapter 2 - The beginning

Chapter 2 - The beginning

He was moving fast, faster than I've ever imagined before. I couldn't keep up with him with my eyes. He just kept dodging but wasn't fighting back. He was too fast, almost impossibly fast. No..., he wasn't fast, I was slow! The snow and tree leaves were moving extremely fast as well. I was slowed down... but how? I was lost in thought about what was happening. Then I realized that I read a story about a man who could use time power. Then he stood still and my whole body was frozen in place but I could only move my head. I was stuck! He then said in his deep gravelly voice "There is no need to worry, I'm not here to hurt you". I then said in a confusing voice "Then what do you want from me". He then pulled out something from his pocket. I was beautiful, a silver chain necklace with a purple gem in the shape of a smooth rounded square. He said "This will help you" In a confusing but angry manner I said, "Help me?... with what, you don't know anything about me, I DON'T EXIST!" I was frustrated at the fact that he thought he knew everything about me, but I didn't know anything about him.

Then he held the stone and pressed it against the necklace, and the stone started to glow a little bit and he placed it against the center of my chest. That's when I felt it! Like all my stress and sadness was pushed off my shoulders. The stone sort of merged with me like melted into my skin.

I felt... relieved, I felt energy flowing through my body. He took off the necklace then proceeds to leave. I then asked, "What did you do to me?". He stops at around 7 meters from me, picks up a rock, and turns around. He looks at me and says "shoot this with your lightning". I froze for a brief moment but snapped out of it. He throws the rock in the air and I tried my hardest to shoot it knowing I had almost zero control. What I saw was amazing but for a mere instant, a big burst of lightning shot out of my hand. Most of it was yellow but some of it was purple, which I've never seen before, I was pushed back because of my lack of muscles. I was 'Shocked'! I panicked and looked up at him, he was smiling. I told him "What... just... happened"? He replied, "I freed you". Then before my eyes he just... Vanished
