CHAPTER 4: BACK TO SCHOOL
"I tied him up and knocked him unconscious. He will have a migraine and that's all." Adrian said.
"Wow, nice perp talk, but you and I know that you are nothing short of a murderer," Miles said.
"Ok enough, both of you, Ive had enough of your constant arguments. It's time for us to leave before more forces shows up or worse before Cyril wakes up." Tina said getting in between them.
"Sally, do your thing" Chris said.
"With pleasure"

Alyssa walked into the school hallway the next morning not too eager to start the year but she knew that if she didn't show up, she would be slaughtered by her best friend.
"Speaking of the devil..." Alyssa said, rolling her eyes.
"Alyssa!" Hazel screamed hugging her tightly.
"Hazel, you are cho-ki-ng m-e" Alyssa gasped.
"So sorry, it's just I have missed you so much" Having said this, she let go off her girl, slowly.
"Yeah me too, where is Dwight?"
"Obviously he's with his man friends" Hazel said pouting.
"You don't expect him to stick by your side all the time. Don't tell me you are jealous" Alyssa moved her lips, stylishly smiling at her friend's reaction.
"Why would I be jealous? We are just friends"
"Exactly my point you are just friends unless you want to change the title to boyfriend." Alyssa smirked.
"Eww, disgusting and never going to happen." Hazel snap.
"Jeez, you used to have a major crush on him since we were kids and the holiday too before I traveled, so what happened?"
Hazel sighed and she came to a stop and said "Remember all those video calls we made when you were in Iowa with your aunt? That you were hyping me to confess my feelings to Drake."
"Yeah I kind of expected that you two will be together now and I would be tagged the third wheel."
"Well on that faithful day, I went to his house, he was with two girls naked on his bed."
"Okay, they were studying naked on the bed," Alyssa said sheepishly.
"They were having a threesome Alyssa. THE GUY I HAD CRUSHED ON SINCE FIRST GRADE WAS HAVING A FREAKING THREESOME."
What was a better way for an angry little lady to express her anger and dissatisfaction? Screaming!!
"Hey hazel, stop screaming, you're drawing attention to us."
"I know, I am sorry. just. Never mind."
"You and I both know that Dwight had been a player right from time. But he cares for you in a way hasn't done towards any girl including me, Hazel maybe he thinks you don't feel the same way towards him. Just tell him ok."
"I would, but there's no need"
"Why?"
"Cause two nights ago, a barman called me and told me to come pick up Dwight cause he was totally wasted."
"And?" Alyssa prompted her.
"He confessed that he loves me"
"OMG THATS GOOD NEWS, Hazel why aren't you screaming with me" Alyssa asked almost yelling out her throat.
"He thought I was you." Hazel dropped the bomb and entered the class leaving Alyssa in a state of shock.
************************************
Aidan walked into the room where Sally was currently staying with some blankets and clothes.
Sally was changing when he barged in, immediately he saw her, he whipped around and cleared his throat.
"Oh, give me a minute" Sally said as she threw a top on.
"You can look now"
"Oh thanks, I came by to give this to you" Aidan said as he handed the clothes to her.
"Thank you very much"
"You are welcome"
"Well seems that's all, I'd better..."
"Where's Adrian?"
"Oh, he's kind of busy. Why?"
"Oh nothing, just wanted to know because I haven't seen him since the day he rescued me"
"According to the report, it was Chris who rescued you first"
"Oh yeah it was, then he came and saved us both"
"Well, he's busy, but when I do see him, I will tell him you asked"
"Ok thanks. Sally said as he left the room"
Aidan walked out of the room and he bumped into Tracy.
"Hey brainiac"
"How dare you call me brainiac?" Tracy scowled.
"Cause my girlfriend is a freaking genius and extremely beautiful" Adrian said as Tracy blushed.
"Cut it out, Aidan. We can't talk about these now. How's the new girl?"
"She's cute...I mean comfortable"
"Uh-huh" Tracy said nodding her head.
"Yeah and also she asked for Adrian too.
"Why does all new girls asked for Adrian. Is it part of the routine?" Tracy asked wanting to know why Adrians name remains on the girls lips.
"You tell me, cause the same thing happened, when we rescued you"
"Come on, I thought we agreed to let bygones be bygones"
"Oh yeah we did, but it doesn't change the past"
"So what can I do to improve your mood?"
Aidan smiled as he dragged Tracy back to their room.
***********
Adrian stood on top of a skyscraper in the city, thinking about her.
"Hey Adrian, why you pouting as usual?"
"Hey starlight. How is it going?" Adrian whispered back.
"To be honest, heaven is boring. I kind of miss you all"
"But you are supposed to be happy, you are finally at peace"
"I know I should but it doesn't feel the same without you by my side"
"It doesn't?"
"No it doesn't"
"Why do you say that?" Adrian said chuckling into the space as his subconscious mind replied him.
"Cause, nobody tastes better than you. I miss your touch, caress, taste, I miss everything about you and I miss you too"
"I miss you badly too, starlight" Adrian said his voice cracking.
"Just then his phone rang disrupting him from his personal thoughts.
He cleared his throat as he picked up the call.
"Hey! What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"Busy"
"Come back to the hideout"
"Why?"
"Force has started going on patrol, before they sense an inner lurking around in the city"
"I can handle them"
"Seriously bro, just come home. There is also no food and it's your turn to go shoplifting"
"Ok fine. I'm on my way now. Adrian said as he cut the call".
"Sorry starlight, I gotta go" Adrian whispered to the unknown as he teleported out of there.
************************************
Alyssa grunted in her sleep as sweats bud were visible on her forehead. She was obviously having a nightmare but she couldn't seem to wake up.
"Mum, where's she?"
"Alyssa from now on, I forbid you to mention her name in the house. She's dead to us ok?"
" But mum..."
"Hush now, go to your room and stay there. We have got some important visitors".
Two as one and one as two one is disowned other in denial. One is dead and so shall the other be".
" He confessed to me already. That's great news. Yeah I guess. He thought I was you"
"Alyssa, look at your betrothed Cyril. We have agreed for you two to get married after graduation" .
"Mum why are you doing this don't I have any say at all? Please mum, don't do this to me"
"ELECTRIXXXXXX" An unknown voice screamed in pains as the whole place exploded.
Immediately Alyssa woke up as the bulbs in her room exploded into bits. The pendant began to glow.
Her mum rushed in too, almost immediately.
"What's wrong, baby. What's going on?"
"I don't really know, the bulbs must have seriously blown. It will be a result of mismatched fuses"
"But I hope you aren't hurt"
"No mum, I am not, I was asleep. The noise must have woken me up"
"Yeah, it was pretty loud. The whole street is out of electricity"
"That bad huh?"
"Yeah, let's go to the kitchen let me make you a glass of milk" She said as she helped Alyssa stand up.
