NATHAN'S STORY

NATHAN'S POV

Should I tell her? I really don't like sharing this with people. I told Cassandra but I didn't think I'd have to tell anybody else. Why did she have to ask me this question?

"Ava we should just leave that to topic for another day." I'm not telling her my life story. I don't need anyone pitying me. I already feel like shit thinking about it.

"Nathan you yelled at me. You literally said shit towards me in anger that day. I really want to know what got you like that." Her voice is soft and really soothing if you ask me. She cupped my cheek. "Please. I won't bother you today if you tell me."

"Now that's a promise we both know you won't keep." I scoffed at the thought.

"I know but please. I want to know. I'm tired of being in the dark Nathan." She looked down and sad all of a sudden. "You don't know what it's like Nathan. Being in the dark. Always looking over you shoulder because you're scared that the next thing that happens is an attack against your life."

"You've probably seen me since this started. I get agitated over every phone call. I'm scared to open a book. I turn around to make sure shit doesn't happen to me suddenly. I don't even know when last I got a good nap without waking up every thirty minutes to make sure my surroundings are the same way I left it."

She was right. I may not have talked to her but I've watched since the first day of the argument. She's always on her paranoid. Always on her toes. Checking, worrying, anxious.

"I'm here for you. Nothing's gonna happen." I said cupping her cheeks.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. What happens when you're not?" Tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm scared. I'm living a life that I do not have any idea as to what's the cause and it doesn't help that you guys know what's happening and you keep me in the dark. I've tried asking Sandra but she doesn't know. Cass keeps telling me it's not her secret to reveal. Nathan I'm losing head here."

I really don't like seeing her like this. Seems I've grown another weakness. I just hope it really doesn't affect me negatively like others.

"Fine. I'll tell you my part of the story and what I know. To keep you on a safe side and clear your anxiety."

"But before we start, I need to take to where it all began."

Memories of that afternoon came back and I feel like dying again. I died. I died when they all died. Cassandra came and made me back a bit. I feel lifeless.

I pick her. I'm running. I'm running to where it all began. Where my entire problems and fucked up life began.

The building. The place I grew up. The place I became a murderer.

I killed an entire family.

I turned to Ava. A look of recognition flashes through her face.

"Have you been hear before?"

"I saw it on the internet." Now the look of confusion takes over. "I don't understand Nathan, what are we doing here?"

"I want to tell you my own story."

"This is going to be a long day. Listen after hearing this story, you have every right to hate me.

When I was little, I had a brother. A twin brother." The lump is starting to form in my throat thinking about what I did. "I was the wildcat of the family. Trying to piss everybody off. Anyone who saw me just knew I'd turn out to be a rebel. My brother his was different. He was born with natural dreads or as Africans slash Nigerians call it "dada." He was seen as the more reasonable one of both of us even at the age of ten. The world was an inhuman world. Even though we behaved differently and had different ways of life of life we were inseparable. He was smart, I was cocky. He was the brains anytime we wanted to hatch a scheme, I was the muscles because I could do the stuff fast and strong without much stress. We were doing good." I heave in a sigh.

"Except we had one problem. Technically he had a problem. For a being to become an inhuman the neuron cells of the person and every other thing related to the person need to move at at the same pace but most inhumans can't do this. There body can't keep up with the flow of energy from the neurons of the brain so it ends up killing them. While some their bodies might be able to handle it contained but can't handle using such energy so it's either they never use it or when they use they suffer a serious disorder. My brother was among the latter. He had a super intelligent mind as in Albert Einstein level of intelligence at the age of ten. We knew nothing about his power. It was taking a toll on him. The strength of his mind was killing him slowly. It caused some brain disorders the kind the increases everything about the brain. His IQ, mind, intelligence, you name it. He could do all that with his head but it was stressing him a lot."

"I didn't really have an idea about this that much until a few weeks after he died. He's doctor explained it to me."

I don't want to explain this. My throat is dry. I hate myself.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me Nathan?" I feel her hands hugging my biceps while she looks up at me. I look down at her.

This is why I like tall girls I don't have to start looking down to see them.

But you like her don't you?

Let's not go into this conversation.

"No it's okay I want to do this." I give her a small smile. "One day we came back from school. Some guy was teasing him about being a nerd. It was really affecting him disturbing him. He and I had been together for so long that whenever he's in danger I could sense it. Little did I know that it's his brain that does that. Anyway I got pissed when we came home. Why did he always let people pick on him like that? That got on my nerves. I told him to reach out to me if they bullied him but he'd rather get bullied than let me interfere because he knew I'd always get to the principal's office but I couldn't stand it. I started getting angry. Like really crazy angry. The lightning bolts and sparks started to seep through me. That was the first time that happened but I was in control of it a bit because it was my brother we were talking about. Little did I know that he was as pissed as me.

My parents couldn't do anything. How could you stop two inhuman kids who are ready to kill anything in front of them. I don't really know what happened next. Then I said the exact words that everyone said about that he hated."

"You're a waste for an inhuman."

"What?"

"You heard me freak!"

"You don't mean that." The tears breaking out from his green eyes. His locks in a mess.

"Oh yes I do. Infact you're not just wasted as an inhuman you are a waste as a living thing." So much anger laced together in my voice plus the lightning sparks coming out of my body making me look even more scary like I was a god. Mom puts her hand over mouth in shock at what I just said.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

"After saying shit to him that wasn't supposed to come out of my mouth. He went wild with a scream and then all of a sudden the entire building crashed on us." She turns her gaze to the building.

"I don't understand everything looks in one piece from outside here." Ava said.

"I don't mean the building or anything crashed on them. I don't really know what happened but every inanimate object around us in the kitchen launched itself towards me."

In lightning speed I dodged all the knives and every other thing that was thrown at me by God knows what ability.

"What the hell are you doing?" He points to my back. That's when I remember. Mom and dad.

They were behind me.

A tear slides down my face.

"We were in the kitchen when everything happen so it was mostly knives that was thrown but I dodged it all but two people couldn't. The couple that was behind me. My mom and dad died that day." I let all the tears run free.

I'm not much of a cry baby so when it starts I let it go freely. I hate tears.

She hugs my arm even more tightly.

"After the whole stuff a couple of neighbours answered our cry for help. My cry actually. My brother went unconscious the second I turned around."

There's no need to hide the rest you've already gone this far.

She'll hate you.

I deserve it after all. No biggie.

"After this all happened, I and my brother moved to an orphanage. The nuns there treated us like skunks. Apparently we were an abomination to God's creations. Whatever that means. Either way you see it we weren't treated like human. Beaten, maltreated over the slightest shit. Any time we got angry and we'd want to do something they'd remind us about our homelessness. Reminding us that no one would accept us."

"We lived shitty lives Ava. It got so bad that even kids in the orphanage bullied shit out of us till we were unconscious all because we were holding back. We'd silently take the beating to keep a roof over our head."

"I got tired of it and decided to run away but my brother being the wiser one and me the rash one he didn't go with it. Thinking about he food, shelter and clothing we got." The tears continuously swell thinking about the horrors I went through.

"Why didn't you guys report?"

"You don't think we tried Ava. No one cares about the kids of a no body. We were useless. Since my brother didn't go with me I decided to leave on my own when we turned eleven. I ran away. I lived from street to street. No education. I used my speed to steal for my daily needs. Eventually I met some guy who gave me connections to certain gangs and cult groups. The head of this groups in the U.S  was the Los Illuminados. If you managed to get into the inner group of the cult and became a member you could be among the richest people in the U.S. That became my aim to join the Los Illuminados. I found out that the Los Illuminados works under a cult that governs power in the entire world secretly. The Los Illuminati. These guys are serious. They are all about toppling governments. Seizing power. It was a fight between two members that caused the world war two. Rumors on the underground street says they've existed before the century of Moses in the bible. That would make them an extremely powerful cult. Gathering power with millenniums of experience with them. Even the 27 club gang works under this society. I'm pretty sure your pretty little head is lost right now." I see her lost in bewilderment.

"My life got lost and on the wrong track. I was dealing drugs. I joined a gang working directly under the Los Illuminados influence. If I worked well enough they would recognize me. I would be fucking rich and help my brother out of that hell hole of an orphanage. I worked under them for four years before a gang war started on in L.A and Tennessee. Rival gangs started clashing. The 27 club wanted more favours for Illuminati so they went against Illuminados.

In one of the fights I got caught up in I was in the middle of a fight. Can you imagine that at age fourteen I was a refined killer. I turned to see another person trying to shoot one of my men in the team out of instinct I grabbed a knife ran straight and ran it straight through the person's ribcage. When the person fell flat on the ground. I looked up and saw my fucking brother lying on the damn ground."

The tears start flowing freely.

"I didn't know he was there. I left him. I don't know what happened to his body. Probably burnt. If only I stayed in the orphanage with him he won't have been involved with shit and died. What's worse is that I killed him. With my own hands. I caused my parents death. And killed my brother. . ." I couldn't talk anymore. I was about to stand up and leave so I could wallow in my own self pity.

I turned to her to take her home.

Author's Note

I swear I'm so tired right now. I have to sleep. I haven't slept all night. I started imagining. What would Ariana Grande be doing by now. What do you think a celeb u know would be doing now. Now we have heard Nathan's story all that's left is the Illuminados, Karen and Gabriel to tell their stories and relationship with Jessica and the Psycho. I don't even know what pic to pic I haven't found a good Mason pis so next chapter. Vote and comment. And I love every single person who has read the shit coming out of my head. I really wanted to add a kissing scene in this chapter. It was supposed to be like.

"I turned to take her home but the last thing I expected happened as I got pulled back to the ground.

Soft lips slammed into mine."

I know it sounds cool but I'm just not digging it right now I want them to have one or two more quarrels before that so wait for the juicy crap to come😆┐(´ー｀)┌
