Bloody path

POV Narrator

The morning had already arrived and the light barely reached through the thick smoke of industrial smoke that perpetually covered the gloomy city of Zaun, in one of the most hidden corners of the entresol, was hidden a secret base in which one of its darkest corners a boy was prostrate on a wall leaving behind him a trail of blood that reached the center of the room where there was a large black blood stain, black as the night seemed even toxic and corrosive.

The boy was unconscious, his hair as black as the darkness itself hiding his face.

His legs were tied with a rope that was full of blood, his shirt no longer existed and only rags remained around the floor.

The clock on the wall, old and dilapidated like the rest of the building, marked noon, which meant that he had already been unconscious for more than 12 hours, the midday sun entered through the skylight and of course a ray of light landed directly on the young man's face.

Little by little he woke up dazed and disoriented although he seemed paralyzed he was trying to move slowly and get back on his feet.

POV MC

-Fuck...I hurt all over and this place is a mess...I have to clean all this up and take a shower I smell like a dead corpse.

I tried to grab hold of relief on the wall to help me up and it literally crumbled between my fingers making me fall back to the floor making me suffer terrible pain, although not as much as the previous night. Crawling a few meters I was able to gather enough strength to get up at that moment I could inspect my body better, I was taller, I had become paler, my veins were now black, and apart from all these secondary mutations I felt stronger and faster apparently it was all a success, I still have to test the limits of my body, but now it's time to think of an excuse... A very good one.

POV Violet

Vander is furious, well I think that's an understatement, since Deyn didn't come back last night he's been worried without sleeping and even Powder is sad I think she thought he would spend more time with her, I'm angry too that jerk always worries everyone around him, all because he doesn't know how to tell what he's going to do and the worst thing is he doesn't tell us because he knows they're dangerously stupid...sometimes I really want to skin him.

I decide I'm going to take a walk to relax or maybe I'll go to our base to exercise and warm up to hit the face of my stupid brother, that said I start my way to our hideout and when I get to the roof what I find is a trail of blood, I go down as quietly and quickly as I can while I pick up the nearest weapon which turned out to be a pipe.

When I get downstairs I find the back of a teenager about my size he seemed to be rummaging through a box and somehow he noticed my presence so I unceremoniously attacked and broke the pipe on his skull and somehow barely did anything to him he seemed more worried about a previous headache than the blow he had just received.

- Violet! It's me!

Said the stranger to me when I took a good look at his face I could make out my little brother more changed maybe a little more handsome and tall almost my height, but still a little shorter, but by his distinctive eyes I was sure it was him.

- You don't know what kind of trouble you just got yourself into you idiot! What have you been doing here and what happened to you?!

POV MC

Well to tell you the truth this was not the way I wanted her to find out about this, after that she was yelling at me for what I think was 40 minutes after that she let me talk and I was able to explain more or less what had happened here, I must say that she was furious and I think she was going to kill me, with her help I was able to clean everything up although I think she was getting more and more pissed off the more blood we cleaned up.

- You'll see when Vander sees you.

She told me gritting her teeth in anger, I don't think it's that bad, is it? Anyway, when I finished cleaning up I asked Vi for help getting back to "The Last Drop" so after a considerable amount of time we saw the establishment and to my bad luck there was Vander right at the entrance with what appeared to be a club as he saw us I could swear I saw concern at first which quickly turned into anger and I understood the meaning of tough love after a (not) deserved punishment we sat the 6 of us at a table inside the bar where I had to explain the situation and to tell the truth, it was better than I expected. Maybe seeing Pow cry for all the suffering he went through hurt me a little, but even though they didn't understand it, it was necessary. In the end, it all ended with me grounded until further notice, so I went to our room to rest while Pow accompanied me.

- Why did you lie back there Dyn? At least half of what you said was a lie... Especially the part about you never being in mortal danger...

- I knew I hadn't managed to fool you... It's true that it was very dangerous and seen now it was quite stupid I almost died several times, but you gave me luck How could I die?

While I was saying that I gave the best smile I could, but she just started crying, so I hugged her, but now I feel bad...

The power has been worth the pain I suffered, but I don't know if it's worth my family's tears.....

POV Vander

I swear that boy is going to end up killing me with disgust his lust for power reminds me of Silco, I just hope he realizes that power doesn't always come first, although I think he learned his lesson this time, but that damn boy knew that I was going to refuse to let him do experiments on himself and he kept it from me... We'll talk seriously about it again...

While I was lost in my thoughts my great friend Benzo came in, and he was also worried about Deyn, obviously, when I saw that he was not coming last night I asked people I trusted to keep their eyes open and Benzo was one of them.

-Hey Vander, how is my favorite mama duck?

- When you know what he did it won't seem so crazy how I behaved and tell me mama duck again and I'll throw you into a fissure...
