Chapter 9

Outside, my other fans were waiting for me .

One of them rushed to me and hugged me .

"I am a fan of you", he said.

"Great", I said

"Can you teach me how to control atmosphere?", he said

"Um.... are you a superhuman?", I asked. If he wasn't, I couldn't teach him.

"No , anyway just give me your autograph", he said.

"Okay", I said and signed .

"Thanks and just a selfie, please" he said.

"Okay", he took a selfie with me

And then he went back to his girlfriend or whoever the girl was.

I looked back where mom was standing.

She raised her left eyebrow and said,"No one told me how famous you are. First oppa then selfie . That's great, Zach" she said.

I didn't say anything. I smiled .

She said," I am proud of you. You are really growing up"

She hugged me.

That day was really awesome.

"Thanks, mom for saving me from argument with Dad" I said.

"You shouldn't think like that . Parents are right about many things . He doesn't want you to go save the Earth because you know how dangerous your sisters are and they won't give up convincing you to join them." she said.

She had a point.

"Mom , you know I am never joining them. You trust me , don't you"? I said

I remembered dad saying this particular statement and mom seemed to think a little.

"Yeah, why won't I ?", she said.

"I am not going to make the same mistakes they did" I said, assuring me.

"It's totally not about you joining them it's..." she couldn't complete her sentence.

Someone screamed from behind.

I looked back. A woman was crying "my baby . He took my baby"

Then , I looked at where she was looking.

A man wearing a black coat with his face hidden was running with a baby.

I went running after him .

I heard mom screaming ,"Zach, don't . Zach!!"

She called after me a few times but I didn't stop running.

Then , I over took him soon and blocked his path.

The man stopped running and faced me . For a split second. I thought that he was going to open his mask but he didn't. Instead he said,

"Move away"

I wasn't surprised by his bold behavior . It was obvious . All Nutellions were rude.

"Or what?", I asked with confidence. I wasn't at all scared of him because we were trained to tackle Nutellions.

"Or what? Or I will kill you." he said.

"That's what people like you say", I said

"Stop wasting my time" , he said with disgust.

"You are wasting my time too", I said.

For some reason, he seemed to get angry .

He took out something from his pocket.

I looked at it . It was a sharp knife.

"Do you want to get killed by this?", he said.

If I had said no , he would have taken away with the baby .

I got ready for the fight .

He kept the baby down slowly .

I looked at it .

"Get ready", he said.

That's when I took the baby in my arms and started running.

No . I am just kidding.

Nutellions were smart . With one hand he held the baby and with other hand , he swung the knife towards me.

I moved away from him.

Then he came towards me and I kicked him in the face.

He moved back a little.

I chuckled. I felt sorry for him. My kick must have hurted him.

He tried getting up and I kicked him in the soft part . He fell down.

Then , he grabbed the knights beside him .

I waited for him to swing it towards me but instead he swung it towards the baby .

"No", I screamed and blocked the knife but instead it got stuck into my palm. I screamed in pain .

That's when a strong force pulled me back. I got distracted for a minute and then the man kicked me in my ribs. I fell back.

He was preparing for an attack again but the strong force held him back .

I looked behind me .

It was dad . By his expression, it was crystal clear that he was angry at me.

He saw ma and said,"Are you waiting for an invitation or what?"

I took the baby and ran towards his mother.

"Hey", the man screamed after me.

I pulled the knife which was still in my hand and threw it towards him .

"You really have a good knife", I said .

It wasn't any time to joke but I joked more when I was nervous.

I handled over the baby to her mother

She was crying,"Thanks a lot . I don't know how to thank you and I am so sorry for your hand. It was because of me"

"It's okay. Just try to take more care of him from now on", I said.

I heard the sound of sirens and the man tried to run but dad's telekinetic abilities prevented him from running.

I saw Mr. Fariaz grab the man by his collar of the coat and drag him to the car while he was screaming,"I am going to take revenge. Nutella is going to take revenge" .

He kept on saying this until he was inside the car and then Mr.Fariaz shook hands with Dad and said something.

Mom came towards me. She was angry and scolded me,"How many times do I have to tell you not to go running after them? When will you start listening? Don't you...." . Then she noticed my hand.

"God . That must hurt." she said

I looked at it which I shouldn't have because I started throwing up . You know, I hate blood.

Dad called Mom and saw my hand and said ,"This boy .... We will have to take him to the clinic"

He was angry . His face was red .

"Sorry", I said.

He didn't say anything.

I kept saying sorry few more times

Then at last , I guess he was irritated and said, "Sorry? No , I should be sorry . It was my mistake admitting you in that school. Why the hell did I ever do that?"

"I'm sorry, dad" , I said again.

Mom told me to shut up. I guess both of them were angry at me.
