I had four guys and a girl come at me this time and we were starting to draw a crowd, as they circled around me, trying to prevent me from escaping.
“Don’t worry about me escaping darlings, I would never do such a thing. Not without teaching you a lesson first.”
I don’t know how I did it, but somehow, I manipulated the air even though I was trying to burn them or at least drown the fuckers somehow. Instead I ended up circling them from the sky. I couldn’t control it very well and I would start to drop, so before I lost control completely, I created a ring of fire, they would have no hope of escaping.
They all huddled closer to one another, but that was spoiling my fun. I ran my fingers across one of the guy’s head, he was mine. He followed out my orders without an ounce of hesitation, as he seized one of the girls and pushed her into the flames. She was set aflame, filling the air with her cries of pain.
The others all decided in that moment they had to get out, pushing at each other not caring if the others died, if they survived.
By the time I returned to the floor all but two of the worthless humans had been burned to death. The other two stood there in shock, not able to believe what they had just done to the people they classed as their friends. I landed in front of them, making them jump backwards, in a futile effort to escape my punishment.
None of the other onlookers tried to aid them, as they looked on in sickened horror.
I grabbed hold of the survivors, using the air to send both sixty feet up into the sky. I let them free fall back to the ground, dying on impact and making their faces unrecognisable.
After my demonstration no one else dared to approach me, although I had a feeling it would happen again. Silly little creatures, believing they could capture me, no measly human could ever accomplish such a feat. I continued walking through the town, when I had the strange impression I was being followed. I hadn’t seen anyone, but I couldn’t shake the sensation.
Malachi was beside me one minute and the next he disappeared, I stopped at the entrance to an alleyway to search for him when the wind picked up. It was an impenetrable barrier and it would not let me move any further forward, but I was also being prevented from backtracking.
I spun around to see if I could find the culprit, but the way I entered from was clear but as soon as I turned back around, I came face to face with an unfamiliar female.
She had red hair that was pulled back away from her face, making her appearance seem fierce. She had bright red eyes that looked like they could burn right through your soul. She was in leather trousers, a black tank top and leather straps wrapping around her midsection in a criss cross fashion.
“Who are you?” I asked, confused as to why she would trap me like this and why I couldn’t free myself.
“Poor little Unya, lost and alone. You must feel so confused not knowing who you are meant to be and where you should be headed. Well I’m here to put a stop to all your niggling worries. A price has been placed upon your head and I aim to collect.”
She gripped hold of my forearm and we faded out of existence, before reappearing in a lightless room, where I was strapped to a chair and then left alone to my own devices.

I had been lost in my contemplations regarding the bomb that Nora had dropped upon us all, I did not understand what I was supposed to do when a knock sounded upon my door.
I invited whoever it was in and it shocked me to see it was in fact Nora herself. Ever since she joined the rebels one year prior, she only attached herself to Janelle. Why that happened no one would say, and Nora and Janelle were never willing to explain. I couldn’t even remember ever speaking to her without Janelle present.
“Nora, is everything okay?” I inquired, not sure how to handle this unplanne
d visit.
“Forgive my intrusion but there was something I needed to ask, and I thought it would be wise to do that in private,” she replied, closing the door behind her, as she began to approach me.
“That sounds rather ominous, please ask whatever is weighing on your mind.”
“You seemed surprised there were other dimensions or realms out there, I was just wondering how you did that so effortlessly?”
“Nora what are you talking about, of course I had no idea. Why would you think I would be in the know about a matter such as that?”
“Because you’re not from this world either, you can deny it all you like but I am perceptive. I know that like me, you do not belong in this realm.”
Her words threw me for six, what the fuck was she talking about? Of course, I belonged here, I was born here.
Nora you must be mistaken, I was born in this realm there is no way I can’t be from here.”
“You didn’t know, I am so sorry Marcus. I should never have dropped that bombshell on you. Clearly someone didn’t want you to know about your origin.”
I was about to demand Nora to tell me everything she knew when Ishira flew into the room, her eyes were ablaze, with a mixture of hope and horror playing in her eyes.
