When he finally arrived home, Xin entered the living room and saw that no one was around and that was a first. He knew always that Mrs Brenton would have been waiting for him to arrive home but today, she is not in the living room to see whether he came late or not.
Out of curiosity, Xin went towards Mrs Brenton's room and from the little open space that allows someone to peep in through a door, Xin could see that Mrs Brenton was with a suitcase. A suitcase that looks exactly like the one that was last given to Xin's parent.
Mrs Brenton opened the suitcase and she brought out a book out of it. The cover of the book was thick and it is black in colour.
Mrs Brenton tried to open the book but it was all impossible. The book were stiff as if it were made of brick or wood. She tried so many times to open the book but it just won't open. While Xin was watching all this, he immediately tripped over the door and it opened, causing Mrs Brenton to jump up in fear.
"What the hell! Xin what are you doing in my room. What If I had been naked, Is that how you'll barge into my room."
"I didn't barge inside your room, I just happened to trip over the..."
"Just get out of here!" Mrs Brenton shouted and Xin exited her room shutting the door behind.
A few moments later, Stella, Mrs Brenton knocked on Xin's door. As Xin opened the door, he saw her holding the suit case in her hands.
"Here, this is something your parents left behind before kicking the bucket. I'm sorry." Stella said.
' Did I just hear her say that my parents are dead?' Xin was dumbfounded, unable to say anything else. The only parent and human that he ever loved ever since getting his second human body was now dead. The main reason he's not having his revenge on humans was because of his parents. They had begged him to not get angry at humans. It seems like they knew he wasn't ordinary. To be truth, Xin's parent received a prophecy which indicated that Xin is a special being who could destroy and build up the World. It all depends on what he chooses.
While Stella was still at Xin's door, her children, the twins had came inside Xin's room to see what is happening.
"Mum, what's wrong?" Megan asked.
"Oh. Xin's parent were involved in a critical accident and unfortunately they couldn't make it."
"Owww, sorry!" The twins said at once, and it was making Xin wonder if they really meant it, cause they are the type that loves faking everything about themselves, making it hard for him to know their true intentions.
"You two should console him why I prepare something for you all." Mrs Brenton said as she smirked at her twins who instantly smirked back at her.
The twins sat beside him as they pretended to be sorry for him. "Poor Xin. Now you're gonna be alone with us forever." Megan said.
"No mummy, no Daddy for you anymore." Butch also replied.
"I can't wait to see how wretched you're gonna be staying with us." Megan said.
"Now that you're no longer in school, you'll be the one to do the laundry and chores."
"I've set a timetable for you. And you must ensure you don't skip any time or use more than the required time for each chores." Megan said handing a paper out to Xin.
Xin had been silent since they were talking, Although his mind is not stable, he could still hear all what the twins were saying. He stared at the paper for long with his mind in another dimension. He actually didn't know when Megan handed out the paper to him but he heard all what they were saying.
"Are you gonna let my hand fall. Take it already!" Megan shouted but Xin was as silent as the graveyard.
"You son of a bitch are doing it on purpose, aren't yah?" Butch said as he punch Xin hard in the stomach, sending him flying off to the side of his bed.
Megan threw away the paper that was in her hands and step forward. "Butch I'm the victim let me take care of him." Megan said and her hands started transforming into an hammer, a sledgehammer to be precise. Megan had a transformation ability so it was how she was able to turn her hand into an hammer. Butch also have the same ability but apart from transformation ability, he is a good and skillful Martial arts disciple. His kicks and punches are stronger than the crushing pestles.
Presently, Xin was still feeling the punch he received from Butch. It was unexpected and fast and his body was so weak to take on such blow as he had already started spitting blood.
She ran towards Xin hitting him on the hand with her hammer hand. Xin's hands didn't suffer much but were hurt a little. It was due to the quick withdrawal of his hands that he was able to escape the hit of the hammer narrowly. But there's still a gush of blood rushing out of his fingers.
"Megan! Butch! what are you guys doing?" Stella said as she opened the door, ignoring Xin that was seated on the floor with bloods on his hands and mouth. The trio exited Xin's room but Xin could hear them saying they are happy his parents were dead. Now his hunger to have revenge had grown a lot.
The suitcase was in front of him and he was wondering if the book was still in the case_ The book he saw in Stella's hand that didn't opened up a while ago.
He need to confirm if really the book can't open up. The book looks a lot like an ability book and his gut was telling him that he could be stronger if he touch that book.
Ability books are the books that were recommended to humans to use to grow stronger inorder for the person to be able to defend himself in the war that is going on.
What war us going on?
It is a war between Aliens and Humans in the human world. Even though a peace (No War) contract had been signed with the Alien race and it had lasted for three years now yet there are signs of the aliens planning to rise again and humans are preparing for another war with the aliens. But this time, the war will be a difficult one for the people and also for the Aliens.
