(R18 Warning- Violent and traumatic scenes)
Astra and Harper walked through the front door. "Hi, Mom! We're home!" Harper shouted as soon as she walked in. "Wow, that's the greeting I wanted." Cecilia walked up to Harper and gave her a big hug. "Happy birthday Astra." Cecilia hugged Asta as well. "Thanks, Mom. We're going to the bars tonight to celebrate. All my friends are coming too. Don't expect me to come home walking straight." Astra said as he walked up to his room to get ready. "He just admitted he's going to black out and you're letting him walk away?"
Harper had been caught drunk many times and her mom punished her every time. "Most of your time being drunk was underage. If you waited like your brother you wouldn't have had any problems." Cecilia patted Harper's head as she walked by. "Are you guys eating here tonight?" Cecilia asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Nah, I think we'll get food at some point while we're out. Besides, you get drunk faster if you don't eat." Harper said as she went to get ready. "How did I raise two alcoholics?" Cecilia asked as she poured a glass of wine almost to the top. "Oh well." She lifted the glass and took a swig.
-Central District, Club Song, 9 PM-
*BUMP* *BUMP* *BUMP* *BUMP*
Astra, his sister, and his friends were all dancing together on the dance floor. Lasers and lights lit up the room. Holograms of different flashing images changed with the beat of the music. Astra took a sip from his drink still dancing spilling a little on himself. "Let me help you with that," Lily said as she stumbled over. She and Astra were both pretty drunk. They were on pace to blackout by the end of the night. "I didn't spill on myself." Astra looked down at his shirt and it was surprisingly dry. "Not on your clothes." Lily walked over and licked the beer that was dripping down his chin. She licked his lips and began making out with him. Astra immediately responded continuing the kiss with her.
Jasmine who was next to them was shocked. Lily told her many times that she liked Astra but she was never the type of girl to be that aggressive. 'Wow, she's very different when she's drunk.' Jasmine thought to herself. She looked around and everyone else was looking at Astra and Lily too. All with the same shocked expression. Lily told almost everyone about her crush on Astra over the years. She had been one of the most shy girls they had seen but now she was...not. Astra pulled Lily closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"They're really going at it over there aren't they?" Ethan asked Harper as he began dancing toward her. "Don't" Harper said as she turned around and walked away. "What did I tell you?" Liam began enlarging his hand. "AHHH, don't hit me again!" Ethan started to run around bumping into people around him. "Jesus dude, I wasn't going to hit you in here." Liam's hand returned to normal size as he was talking. "Here?" Ethan shakily asked. "Oh yeah, I won't hit you here. Too many people. We don't need witnesses." Liam said as Ethan's face sank.
Astra and Lily were still making out in the middle of everyone. The longer it went on the more passionate it became. "Ok, this is getting gross. I'm stopping it." Harper walked up to them and tapped Lily on the shoulder. Lily stopped and pulled her lips from Astra's as stands of spit still connected. This was everything that Lily thought it would be and more. She quickly snapped out of her daze and looked around. Everyone they knew was staring at them. Her first kiss was witnessed by everyone she knew. She could only freeze. Astra shook her shoulders a little. "You ok?" He asked as she looked up at him. She was about 5'4 so she could only look up at him from this close.
"Lily, you're a beast. How was that your first kiss? I thought I was watching a raunchy movie for a second." Persis teased from the side. Lily's face turned redder than they had ever seen. "Wow. I think she just invented a new color. I'll call it makeout red" Astra joked. This was it for her. She could only put her head into her hands hoping they would give. "Ok. Ok. I'll stop with the joking. If you think I didn't know that you had feelings for me I would surprised. Not only have you told literally everyone but you also blush every time someone teases you about us. I wanted to wait until I awakened but I don't care right now. Lily, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Astra asked grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes.
Lily's whole world had turned upside down. The boy she liked for years kissed and asked her out all in one night. She could only shake her head up and down. She tried talking but no words came out. It didn't take long for Astra to resume the kiss after getting the confirmation. Everyone was still looking at them growing more disgusted by the second. "Oh my god! Please get a room!" Harper shouted and turned around covering her eyes. Lily quickly pulled away from Astra and put her hands behind her back. She couldn't look anyone in the eyes. Astra grabbed her hand and began walking out. "Bye, everyone. Thanks for partying with me tonight and paying for our drinks." Astra said waving goodbye while walking out with Lily. "Bye everyone, thanks." Lily quietly said as she walked. She had too many thoughts going through her mind right now.
They walked out of the club holding each others hands. "Do you want me to drop you off at your house?" Astra asked. Lily looked up at him with hesitation. "Or do you want to come back to my place?" Astra felt extremely connected to Lily right now. He thought he felt a desire for something more coming from her. He never felt anything like this in his life. He knew love was good but he didn't know it would be like this. "Your place." She quietly replied feeling just as connected to Astra as he did to her. Both of them started walking toward Astra's house. They say didn't say much to each other. They were immersed in this deep connection they felt between each other. They could feel the emotions of each other intertwining as they held hands walking down the street.
They were both distracted and thoughtlessly were walking down the sidewalk. "Wait. I think we missed a turn." Astra wasn't paying attention and forgot which turn to take. "It's ok we can just turn back." Lily didn't have a care in the world right now. She was right where she wanted to be. "Sounds good I don't think it'll..." "Oh hey, it's the fucking loser." Devon turned around a corner and saw Astra and Lily holding hands. "Look at that boys. He actually can get some pussy. Oh, and it's the hot quiet girl too. Man, aren't you a lucky guy? Why don't you share with us? You owe us that much at least." Devon said walking closer to them. Mason and another guy who was extremely overweight walked behind him. "I don't owe you anything. Don't mess with us right now. I'm not in the mood." Astra glared at Devon. "You little shit. You DO owe me. You owe me for being useless. Do you know how much money is wasted on you to keep you alive? You should be thanking me every day for not killing you. Since you owe me I'll be taking what's rightfully mine."
"What the fuck ar..." Astra bent over holding his stomach. Devon stood above him clenching his fist. Astra didn't even see Devon move. *BLEUGH* Astra threw up as he held his stomach. Lily was still a little drunk and her reaction time was slower than usual. After she saw Astra get hit she tried to use her ability to slow the time around Devon. Before she could move her clothes burst on fire. "ARRRGG" Lily got burned all over her body as she threw off her burning clothes. Her body hurt all over but she still glared at Mason. "Damn, you're a lot hotter than you look. You should dresssss beeett..." Lily slowed the time around Mason to a complete stop. She had forgotten about Devon. He kicked her in the stomach sending her flying into a cement wall. Her body cracked the wall as she hit it. "AAAHHHHH" Lily tried rolling around in pain but she could only scream.
"Who told you to fight back bitch. Did you think you could stop anyone of us? You should have shut your mouth and you wouldn't have been hurt. But you've done it now. I think Mason and I should teach you a lesson. What do you say, Mason? Do you think that's fair?" Devon sarcastically asked as he walked toward Lily. "I fully agree Devon. Good thing I already burned most of her clothes off. Haha." Mason joked walking by Astra. "S-Stop." Astra grabbed Mason's arm as he walked by. "Get your filthy hands off of me." Mason pulled his arm away while burning Astra's hands. "FUCK." Astra looked at his hands. His flesh looked like red spider webs. When he moved his fingers he could see his tendons move with it. The charred flesh added to the painful image.
Mason started walking toward Lily while Astra tried to stand up to stop him. Before he could take a step, the overweight guy that was with them got bigger and sat on top of him. "You stay here." The fat man said with heavy breaths. "Nice job, fatty. I told you that fat power of yours was useful." Devon said standing in front of Lily. He bent down and yanked her bra off. "My oh my. You had these the whole time and didn't tell me. I should have done this so much sooner." Devon grabbed one of her breasts. "STOP!" Lily screamed. "I told you to keep your mouth shut." Devon reached for her hand and broke three of her fingers. "AAHHH." Lily could only scream in response. She had no strength to fight back.
"Fuck, fuck, goddamnit fatass, Get off of me!" Astra screamed and struggled as hard as he could to save Lily. Somehow the guy above was getting fatter by the second. He could feel his bones begin to get crushed. The pain was the last thing he worried about as he thrashed his body around trying to break free. His left arm and a couple of rips broke from his struggle. He made no progress and focused his attention on Lily again. Mason had his pants down while he was rubbing his penis on Lily's face. She moved her head trying her best to get away from him. Devon was ripping off her underwear making her nude. "Time to pay us back." Devon started to unbuckle his pants.
Astra could only look. He thought of any way he could stop them and save her. Nothing. He thought of nothing. No matter how hard he thought he couldn't come up with a solution. Every time that he's been called an unawakened suddenly came to mind. His thoughts started screaming at him. They got louder and louder until he only heard one thing. "Unawakened." It echoed in every corner of his mind getting louder and louder.
Then nothing. He couldn't hear anything anymore. His thoughts went blank. Then he felt something. He looked up at Devon through the folds of fat covering his face. He felt Devon. He could feel every inch of his body and every thought of his mind. Devon quickly looked over at Devon. "What the fuck did you just do." Devon started to feel Astra's presence as well. He wasn't able to know his feelings but he could feel every inch of Astra's body too. "What are you.."
*SPLAT*
Devon's head exploded, spraying the surrounding area with blood. Blood drenched Lily and Mason's naked bodies. Mason looked at Astra in the eyes. He could now feel Astra's presence. "How did you do that!" Mason stumbled over because the pants were still around the bottom of his legs. He looked Astra in the eyes. He only saw death. Before he could plead for his life, he flew backward parallel to the ground. His legs were the first to hit the wall. In less than a second his whole body was squished against it. It looked like he was crushed by a giant hydraulic press. A mass of gore and bones slid onto the ground next to Lily splashing even more blood onto her.
The fatty on top of Astra didn't know what was happening and quickly deflated himself to run away. As soon as Astra was free he stood in front of the fatty. Blood poured from all over his body as he lifted his charred hand. "Die." All four of the fatty limbs plunged inward. The fatty quickly turned into a large bloody ball. Astra lowered his hands and ran toward Lily. He tried to hug her battered bloody body against his without hurting her. She winced in pain for a second but quickly calmed down. She could once again feel the strange connection between her and Astra. "Please don't let go." She asked as she sunk into his arms. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." Astra gently rubbed her back.
He held it well but he could feel all the pain he caused to Devon, Mason, and Fatty. His eyes were bloodshot from squeezing Devon's head. He felt his whole body get crushed flat onto a wall. His arms and legs throbbed from doing that to the fatty. What kind of power did he awaken and why did it take so late? None of this would have happened if he awoke sooner. Before he could fall down the rabbit hole of blame, Lily kissed him. When their lips touched he could feel his connection with Lily again. She easily overwhelmed all the other pain he was feeling from his powers.
"I don't know exactly what's happening with you but I have an idea. Just know that I also feel your presence and thoughts. You're completely innocent and saved me. It doesn't matter how long it took you to awaken. We're still here, right? This is something both of us will deal with together." She kissed him once again.
"What the fuck!" Someone said as they walked by and saw the gory mess surrounding two people.
