Chapter 2

The Next Day

As Warren goes downstairs to get some breakfast, he hears a knock at the door. He goes to open it when suddenly the door blows open and a scary-looking man walks into his house.

'What the heck! Who are you' asked Warren. 'You'll find out soon enough' said the man.

The man raised his hand and fire shot out of his palm. Warren was barely able to dodge the flame and it blasted the couch behind him. Warren tried to concentrate and use his powers but for some reason they weren't working.

'There's no point in trying to use your abilities' said the man.

The man started walking towards Warren when suddenly there was an explosion in the back of the house. A young guy came out of nowhere and tackled the guy down. Then, came a girl came in and raised her hands and vines came up from the ground and tied up the man.

'Come with me if you want to live' (so cheesy) said the girl. Warren grabbed her hand and they ran out of there with the guy behind them. They hopped inside a van and drove away.

'What in the world is happening?' asked Warren. 'Who was that guy?'

'That was Mr. Black' said the guy. 'Why did he come after me?' 'Probably because you just got your abilities' responded the girl.

'How would he know about my powers and who are you?'

'Oh! Sorry! My name is Alexandra but you can call me Alex' said the girl. 'And this' pointing at the the boy 'is Damien.'

'Okay... How do you know about my powers and why didn't they work back there?' asked Warren.

'When a powerful ability emerges, it sends this shockwave-like thing into the world. If a person is strong enough they can detect it and come looking' said Alex.

'And he probably had a power-dampening device on him. That's why your abilities weren't working.'

'So that must mean that my power is strong and also that Mr. Black is strong too.'

'Correct' said Damien.

'By the way where are we going?' asked Warren.

Alex and Damien just looked at each other and smiled.
