31: Emmanuel

Isaiah stands over the now unconscious Adonis, laying on the floor, still foaming at the mouth.

"Isaiah, this was all a joke; we weren't trying to hurt that chubby kid you're always with." One of the boys says.

"Yea, we were just following along with what Adonis was doing." Another boy added.

Isaiah, with his eyes still glowing, pushes both the boys back with tremendous force into the glass behind them.

"Then you are also guilty," Isaiah says with a low voice.

Two JSB members remained. They were too scared to say anything because they knew nothing would get through to Isaiah.

As Isaiah approached both of them, one of the boys P'd on himself from how scared he was.

Before Isaiah was ready to lift his hand, his father appeared next to him, lowering it.

"That enough, son, you've done enough damage for one day." Isaiah's father said with a concerned look on his face.

Isaiah turns to his father in anger.

"Enough?! Where was enough when they shattered Emmanels legs and beat him within an inch of his life! Isaiah roared with tears running down his face.

As Isaiah roared, he let about a telekinetic wave that cracked the floor and the ceiling.

"Everyone in the cafeteria fell from the sudden force they just felt. You could hear crying and panicking through the whole cafeteria. The fear has finally set in.

"Sasha! I'm not getting through to him… he needs you. Isaiah's father said, turning to his wife.

"Isaiah, baby look at me." His mother said with tears in her eyes.

"You have to learn how to forgive them… it is not up to you to serve them Justice—their children, just like you with family, dreams, and aspirations. Show them forgiveness and mercy. She said, hugging Isaiah.

Isaiah's eyes stopped glowing once he heard the words and warmth from his mother.

Unbeknownst to Isaiah, his father whipped the memories of everyone in the cafeteria. He walks over to Sasha and Isaiah and teleports them away.

The next morning Isaiah receives a phone call.

"Hello? Is this Isaiah" the voice says over the phone.

"No, it's his mother; who is this? Sasha asks.

"It's Andrea. I'm calling to tell him that Emmanuel… he didn't make it. The shock was too much for him, and his heart gave out during the procedure." Andrea says, weeping over the phone.

"We'll you tell him for me?" She sniffles.

"Of course Sasha says with tears in her eyes, hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Isaiah father asked

"It was Emmanuel's sister Andera, and she just told me that he didn't make it. I'm about to wake Isaiah and tell him." Sasha says about to leave.

"Babe waits. Do you think that's a good idea? I mean, look at what's happened already. He put three kids into the hospital, and unbeknownst to everyone else, Isaiah is the cause." Isaiah's father said.

"Adrian, you serious? He did that because they literally beat his friend to death, which we just found out. He has the right to know." Sasha says

"I know, but we have to look at the big picture. Isaiah is a psychic who is very intoned to his emotions which most of us don't have the luxury of. We also both know how powerful he'll become once he's older. If he doesn't get hold of his emotions now, he'll be a time bomb this planet can't afford to blow. Adrian explains

Sasha hesitated going up the stairs as she heard the words of her husband.

"So what do we do? This sounds like too much for a 13-year-old boy to handle." She says, walking down the stairs.

"We have to make him forget," Adrian says in a low voice.

"What! Do you want to manipulate your son's memories? You don't even sound like yourself; you sound like Prof.Greenwood. Sasha says, frustrated.

"Maybe I am … but he's already caught wind of the situation here, and he might take action soon. This might be the best thing to do for now. For both Isaiah and Prof. Greenwood's sake. Adrian explains

"This will come back to haunt us, you know it. Sasha says.

"But you're right … without the memories of your current self, you will act rashly.

Isaiah also needs more time to get used to his abilities and handle his emotions properly."

"We can not do this again, Adrian. You and I both know that without some memories, one can not be their true self. Sasha says.

"We're doing this for his good. Only we know the threat he holds to humanity." Adrian says, holding his wife.
