Chapter 3: Chapter 2
"Subject, awaken"
"What will you have me do today?"
"Your friends are starting to look into your 'death'. Go, take care of them"
"As you wish"
Saturday morning arrived, and as promised Amy and I began looking into Evie's death. As I couldn't remember what the stone User looked like, Amy decided to do the next best thing.
"So this machine here scans neurones and displays the memory on this here monitor"
"Ok then. I'll try to remember what happened"
"Ok then. Wait what's this memory? What is on your phone?"
"OH THAT? NOTHING!"
I had to change what I was thinking of. So I went with the most recent video I had watched.
"So, you're hiding something. Is it something I'd want to know?"
"No. Definitely not"
"Oh ok. OH WHAT? NO!"
"ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK! MY FRIEND BORROWED MY PHONE! I HAD TO CLOSE THE INTERNET TABS HE LEFT OPEN!"
Wait, TABS? AS IN MORE THAN ONE!?"
"LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"
"AGREED!"
And so eventually we found the memory we were looking for.
"Here it is. Now let's see who this stone cold bastard is"
"Wait. Is that who I think it is? Is that... Sean?"
"It can't be. You'd know if Sean was a User because a marking would be present around his right eye"
"So he probably used face paint or some shit like that"
"Of course"
"I wish it were that simple for me"
"Cheer up. We've just found the culprit. Now let's go find that son of a bitch"
"Sure"
We had no clue where Sean would be. It was the weekend after all, and we never really got along well with each other.
"Let's just find him on Monday" Amy suggested.
"That's probably the best decision. What shall we do in the meantime?"
"Well you still have a cabin in the forest, right?"
"Yeah but why go there?"
"We could go relax for until Monday, do some training, not be bothered by those fucking drones"
"Sounds good. The city's river runs nearby the cabin. Good thing I decided to put the cabin there instead of away from it, else you would take a while to get there"
"In that case, care for a race?"
"Start from the waterfall"
"Ok then. Well take the teleporter so we don't waste our energy"
"Good thinking"
So we arrived at the waterfall. And of course the first thing Amy did was dive head first into the river.
"Wait, you did remember to hand me your phone when you jumped in, right?" I asked.
"Bitch, it's waterproof. I'm not stupid"
"Oh, right, forgot it was"
"Anyway, ready to start?"
"I'll set the countdown timer"
The timer began
"THREE. TWO. ONE. GO!"
I ran as fast as I could, and Amy was ahead ever so slightly, so I just had to run faster. 1 minute after the race started we arrived at the cabin.
"Looks like it was a tie"
"How... the fuck... did you... keep up... with me?"
"You sound out of breath. Here, take the energy from this battery"
"Thanks. I needed this"
"Yeah, no shit"
"So where are we gonna train?"
I actually have a secret lab entrance in the back of the cabin's stone foundations"
"WHAT"
"You never knew?"
"NO. I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU HAD JUMPED INTO THE LAKE BEHIND THE CABIN"
"Well usually I'd use the lake exit. That's why you'd find me there"
"And it never occurred to you that I should know about this?"
"No not really"
Amy led me to the lab entrance and entered the password into the hidden panel. By the way, the password was 'password'.
"You really should choose a better password"
"It's so obvious nobody will guess it"
"A password should contain at least 8 characters, 1 uppercase letter, and 2 numbers"
"What would mine be?"
"Ihatesoc10logy"
"Wow. So true"
We descended down the stairs behind the concealed door and entered a massive empty training
arena.
"So this is where you were all that time"
"Yep. There's something I want you to try"
"That being?"
"Focus all your energy into your back, and image you can fly"
"I feel like I've seen this before, maybe in some anime"
"Just try it"
"Ok I'm trying"
"That's it! Now spread your wings and take off!" Amy said, as she pressed record on her video camera.
I should have known she was making a joke out of this. Instead of taking off into the air, I fell face first onto the floor. Amy could barely stop laughing.
"That, was hilarious!"
"Yeah, maybe for you, but it really hurt for me"
"In all seriousness though it does take about a day's training to roam the skies"
"Great. Hang on, we're you recording this!?"
"No" she said slowly.
And so I was up all night while Amy was asleep in the cabin. Eventually, I did it. I had mastered flight. Sunday morning arrived and Amy came looking for me. When she couldn't find me, she called me on my phone.
"Where the hell are you?"
"Look up"
"What... the hell"
"Pretty cool right?"
"Yeah it is. Hang on I'll come join you"
Each User type apparently has the ability to fly. The wings are a manifestation of the Users energy type.
Water - wings with smooth edges, quivering and releasing tiny droplets of water.
Fire - wings that look as if they are made of glowing orange feathers, flickering in the wind.
Lightning - thin glowing yellow wings with jagged edges, pulsing with energy.
Stone - literally just a floating rock manipulated by the User's abilities.
On Sunday evening, we took a walk through the forest. But we saw a strange, yet familiar figure in the distance.
"Wait. That kinda looks like Evie over there" I said, breaking the peaceful silence.
"But, it can't be. She's dead"
"Found you" the figure's began to echo.
"Purple strikes by both eyes?"
"Run," Amy said. "Just run"
"Why?"
"Just do it!"
"Okay"
The echoes continued.
"You cannot hide from the void"
