"I would love to show you something"
"What's that? Your powers?" Mia asked
"Yeah.....and I can't show it to you guys here"
"Why?"
"Because it'll draw a lot of attention" I looked back at the group. Everyone was busy doing one thing or the other. I looked back at Kane. He'd been busy with the same group since I got here.
"By the way, what's Kane's role in this group?"
"Oh Kane. After that man right next to him, he's the second in command here"
"Cool. That's really cool. He loves to wear masks. Is he hiding something?"
"I guess" Derek said with a shrug, "I've asked my brother many time but he always tell me that Kane hasn't tell anyone not even him"
"Your brother? Who's your brother?"
"Julius" he points at his brother
"So... about your powers"
I looked back. If I show them my powers here, the others will definitely see it. Then they'll know that I'm a Curse. Then everything won't go the way I planned. Just last month, I saw the future. Of course it started with the SWAT invading my apartment to take me to me meeting Kane and his friends and now to them. I actually saw that they are the only ones I could trust. If more people know about my powers, they won't just come after me but after them. Sighs....even so I am a threat wherever I go.
"I don't wanna show it to you guys here. I have my reasons" I looked at them
"We would've loved to go out but we're not allowed to"
"Why?"
"It's dangerous out there. One of us might wander away to somewhere and the government might catch him or her" Kay explained
"Ow.....what a pity. But we'll be back soon. We won't take long"
"There's nothing we can do. If we sneak out they might figure it out and they might punish us"
"What kind of punishment?" I asked as they shrugged.
"There is a way" Mia spoke up
"Is there?"
"I can manipulate light. Illusions are part of light element. I'm guessing maybe if I could um....scan your bodies to create a copy or illusion maybe we stand a chance of sneaking out without being noticed"
"You're a genius Mia"
"Uh thanks"
Her eyes turned yellow, glowing. An aura covered us all as she scanned. Soon we had a clone, illusionary clone.
"Ok it's done but how do we get out?"
"Leave it to me" I assured them. I snapped my finger as a shadowy portal appeared beneath our feet as we fell into the portal. They screamed as we fell but I waved my hand as something caught them. I opened the other end of the portal as we walked out.
"What was that?" Derek asked, a little terrified.
"Sorry for that it's...."
"Teleportation?"
"Yeah. Wait how did you know?"
"I can do the same thing. But that was the shadow element right?"
"Yeah"
"Wait you can manipulate shadows? That's um...cool"
"Yeah I guess"
"Is there something wrong?"
"The reason why I wanted us to come here is because I want to tell you guys something"
"What's that?" Kay asked, folding his arm across his chest.
"You guys will freak out but I promise I'm not gonna hurt you guys"
They only nodded, knowing how serious this is. I calmed down and spoke up.
"I'm a Curse"
"What?"
"I'm a Curse"
"Wait you're a Curse?"
"Yes I am"
They looked at each other, talking with their facial expressions. The were surprised, shocked, nervous and confused.
"See I know this is something you weren't expecting but it's true. I am a Curse. I was born a Curse. My powers are cursed"
"So you're an Inhuman and a curse too?" Mia asked
"Yeah"
They seemed to swallow everything I just said as Derek walked over to me. He hung his arm over my shoulder, smiling.
"So what?"
"Eh...??"
"It doesn't matter what you are"
"Wait you think it's ok for me to be a Curse?"
"Yeah. I wish I was Curse too"
"In your dreams" Kay said as the two of them walked towards me.
"What like you haven't told me you wished to be a Curse too"
"That was before...you still remember that"
"Why would I forget it?"
"So it's cool for you guys to be friends with a Curse, like me?"
"Yeah. As long as you won't do anything stupid. You know what I mean"
For the first time in 7 years, I have come to realize that there are people who don't judge by what or who you are. Apart from my family, a Curse is something abnormal, dangerous. Having more than one power to manipulate, whether you can control it or not, it's something curse like. I smiled as they smiled back at me.
"So what made you a Curse?" Derek asked
"Seriously? That's a personal question idiot" Kay told him
"I wasn't asking you weirdo. Optic Magic" he laughed mischievously as Kay hits him at the shoulder, "Owww it hurts"
"Jerk" he pouts as Derek laughed the more.
"Hey stop it guys. So what's your powers"
I was too excited to tell them that I had four powers; lightning, shadow, time and blood manipulation but I stopped myself immediately.
"Well I can manipulate the shadow element as you have already seen before. But there's something more"
"What is that?" They asked, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
My eyes turned black. A dark shadowy aura covered me. A dark portal opened, this time it was bigger than the last one.
"Alphie, come out"
A howl was heard. It was loud but not that loud. A beast walked out of the portal. A wolf with a pair of large black wings. His right eye shone with electric blue, his left eye as black as mine. Immediately he stepped out, I unknowingly activated my lightning powers as a huge lightning bolt struck the ground. My left eye glowed electric blue, because it was black before. Lightning flashed around me together with the dark shadowy aura. I looked up at them as they stared, there jaws dropping.
"What....what is that?
"I'm not done yet"
"You're not done yet?"
I nodded. I was about to summon my next guardian beast as a voice interrupted.
"What's going on here?"
It was Kane. And his friends. Shit. What to do now?
