INNER GIFT

THE RECARNATION OF ELECTRIX

CHAPTER 1

The alarm rung urgently as Adrian walked into the room with Aidan tagging behind.

"Yo, Tracy,what's the emergency?"

Adrian asked staring at the screen showcasing the city.

"We got a new Inner guys, local CCTV shows she's located at the warehouse off route 135b.

" Route 135b,is not too far from here" Aidan said.

"Can you tell is anything about the Inner.

"Sure, her name is Sandy bit recently changed it to siren. She's 17, was kicked out of her house when she was 10, went AWOL for a while and resurfaced a year ago. She's on the Force most wanted list."

" I don't get. She has been hidden for the past 7 years now,why did she resurface again?" Adrian asked.

"That's for us to ask her,when we rescue her". Chris said.

"When do we leave" Miles popped in

"No,not you please" Adrian muttered.

"Chillax,bro, who else is as hyperactive as Miles if not worse," Aidan said patting him on the shoulder.

"Urgh, Myles!"

As if on cue,Myles rushed into the room, sweats visible on his forehead and his pants loose.

"Damn bro,you feel of sex,"Miles said popping his gum

"Yeah, I was kinda doing a fifth round with Sally."

"Excuse guys,have you forgotten we have an Inner situation on our hands. Less gossiping,more gearing up." Tracy scolded.

"Chris, Myles, Miles you're going with Adrian, get Tina,Liam and Sally on your way out." Aidan said.

"Sweet," Myles and Miles chorused as they highfived each other.

"What's the plan?" Chris asked.

"Simple, poof in- get her- poof out"

Adrian said.

"It might not be so simple as that, guess who just walked in the building," Tracy said increasing the volume of the dispatch walkie talkie.

......... requesting for backup.

"This is Cyril,backup is on its way as requested,will be there in 20 mins,over and out." The reply rung clearly in the room.

Adrian tightened his hands as he tried to calm himself down.

"Bro, no matter what,do not go after Cyril,just get the new Inner and leave ok," Aidan said.

"Get ready, gang, we'll leave in 5."

Adrian said walking out of the room.

************************************

"Last year's old news"

"I'm breaking out my six string and playing from my heart"

"It's not deja Vu"

"It's another summer"

"That's how the chapter starts....."

"Excuse me miss,"an old man tapped his seat partner who removed her head phone.

"Yes,what's the problem?"

"We are getting ready for descend,the air hostess had asked that all seatbelts should be put on."

"Oh thanks,guess I was really lost in the music",Alyssa chuckled.

Suddenly the man grabbed her hand startling her saying....

"Yes,my child,you are lost,not only in music,but in yourself too. The choices you make today will either destroy you or save you. This is the year where all your troubles begin."

"Let go of me,sir, what are you saying." Alyssa said as she struggled to free herself.

"Two as one and one as two,one is disowned,other in denial,one is dead and so the other will be," the old man croaked putting something in her hands.

"LET ME GO" Alyssa screamed.

The hostess tapped her and she blinked and gasped heavily.

"Is anything wrong,miss.You started screaming."

Alyssa looked round but couldn't find the old man.

"Uhhh,where's the old man who was sitting here?"

"Old man? Your grandpa?"

"No,he's not my grandpa. Just my seatmate. Where is he?"

"My dear,you must be dreaming. You had no seat partner throughout the flight. You were alone."

"WHAT?! What are you saying. He woke me up just now."

"No dear, I did,we have landed dear. Get your stuffs ready", the hostess said as she left to help other passengers come down.

Alyssa opened her hands to see a pendant of two different colours, the orange side was labeled light and the blue side was labeled electricity.

Squeezing the pendant tightly,she got down with the rest of the passenger in to the terminal where she saw her mom waiting for her.

"MUM!" She called out waving to get her attention.

"Alyssa,my dear. How are you? I can't believe you are back. How's your Aunt."

"She's doing great actually, I wish school didn't have to resume" Alyssa said dramatically.

"Let's get going. I made one of my favorite dishes for you."

"Come on, mum, you know that your cooking is terrible."

"Well, Cyril tends to enjoy my homemade dishes."

"Cyril is an asshole fiance who's trying to get on your good side."

"Do not use such words with such a dashing young man."

"And you have regrettably fallen for his charm," Alyssa said putting her bag in the boot.

"If I was 20 years younger, I'd totally do him."

"Eww, mum now that's a picture I'm not sure will ever leave me." Alyssa said as they entered the car and her mum drove off.

************************************

"Spread out and look for the new Inner. Be careful not to alert the Force of our presence." Adrian whispered.

"There she is,open fire" one of the Force officer shouted as what could be heard next was the ringing of bullets.

"Guess they spotted her first," Myles said

"Come on,let's help her,"Chris said as he ran towards the direction of the gun shots.

"What's the plan again because I don't think poof in-get her-poof out is going to be valid."

"New plan- Myles,Miles,Tina and Sally,act as bait while I go save someone from being killed. And no matter what happens,stay alive" Adrian said as he went after Chris.

"Ok, Myles, Tina take out the soliders in the south and Sally and I will do likewise on your end." Myles said.

"Sure thing,bro come-on Tina," Miles said as they both left.

Meanwhile Sandy was badly hurt as she used her Sonic scream on the Force before ducking for cover from the uncountable bullets being pelted out,she had already gotten shot twice and it seems to be dampening her powers and making her more weaker than usual.

She didn't know how long she could withstand before being caught by the Force officers.

"God,I know I don't believe in miracles but I would gladly welcome one right now.

The next thing she knew, something zapped out from nowhere scaring the hell outta her.

"Who the fuck are you?" Sally cursed,ready to attack.

"Your miracle, what else?"

"What?"

"Kidding. Name's Chris,I am here to save you ."

"But how did you get here so...."

"Fast? Superhuman speed. I am like you,a fellow Inner

Inner?

Yeah,you know, a set of people who can do impossible things.

"Now how to find a way out" Chris continued raising his head above the barricade to see their surrounding.

The Force officers released their guns making Chris to duck down once more.

A way out? You didn't have one before coming?

I did.....

"Well,what's it?"

"I kinda left it behind with Adrian,"Chris said chuckling nervously.

Oh my God, Sandy said.

"I've got bad news and good news."

"What's the bad news"

"We are regrettably surrounded by Force officers."

"And the good?"

"You're not dying alone"

"Now's not the time for jokes"

"I know,I know, just trying to relive tension."

"What about your friend, Adrian is it, where is he?"

"I wouldn't exactly count on him to come."

This is the Force. You are surrounded, surrender peacefully and we might let you live. An officer announced using their microphone.

What's going on here? The newcomer said as he sauntered in with authority.

*Sergeant, we have surrounded the run away Inner and she appears to have a friend."

"Good, I will take care of this. You and your men go look for the Inners backup. They never fail to come in pairs." Cyril said

"Sergeant, but what about this two?

I will kill them. I always loved killing in close range anyways."

"Sure thing sergeant, come on, let's move."

Their leader said as they all left,leaving Cyril with the Inners.

What are we going to do now? Chris whispered.

"No idea, wait get behind me and cover your eyes. I am sure a pretty close range will kill him." Sandy whispered back.

The footsteps approached slowly but surely. Cyril reached the barracade and faced them. Sandy wanted to open her mouth but Chris covered her mouth stopping her.

What do you think you are doing? Sandy struggled.

That's not Cyril. Don't scream.

You two are pretty pathetic, Cyril said metamorphing into Adrian.

Adrian! I never thought I will see you again, Chris said dramatically.

What's going on here, Sandy asked

"Hi Sandy, I am Adrian we are friends sent to help you. You can leave now on your own or you can accompany us back to our hideout where we can treat your wounds."

"I'll stick with you two for now,but if I ever suspect anything, both your ears will peel."

"Feisty, I like you already," Adrian said helping her to get up.

How about Tiny, Miles, Myles and Sally? Chris asked

Well, I do hope they are performing way better than you.

----------------------------------------------------------

"And that's the last of them, " Myles said as the last officer dropped dead.

This is really getting old, where Adrian and Chris anyways? Tina asked

"Probably coming, let's go check up on Miles and see how he's holding up."

Miles was busy fighting the last officer where immediately a gunshot was heard and the officer dropped dead.

"I didn't do it." Sally said raising her hand up.

"I did," Myles said coming in with Tina

"Bro what did you do that for, we aren't supposed to kill just knock them out."

The people wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through our head so why hesitate to do so too.

"I'll take it,that you killed all those men you fought. Miles said

"As if they had a chance in the first place."

"Adrian is not going to be happy when he finds out about this."

"Adrian is not the boss of me."

"I heard gunshots,what the hell happened here" Adrian said as he walked in with Sandy and Chris.

Just taking care of business as usual. Miles said.

You killed them?

"I tried to warn him," Sally said

"What have you done? Adrian asked.

"They would put a bullet in our head the minute they got the chance."

That's cause they are scared of us.

"And they should be, come on they have killed hundreds of us. Miles stated."

"And we have killed thousands of them."

"It seems you are forgetting that we are in a war, and people does in wars."

"But we are not killers. If we do kill, it will make us no different from Cyril."

Speaking of Cyril,I thought he was here, Myles put in.

"I tied him up and knocked him unconscious. He will have a migraine and that's all." Adrian said.

"Wow, nice perp talk, but you and I know that you are nothing short of a murderer," Miles said.

"Ok enough,both of you,I've had enough of your constant arguments. It's time for us to leave before more forces shows up or worse before Cyril wakes up." Tina said getting in between them.

Sally, do your thing, Chris said.

With pleasure.

************************************

Alyssa walked into the school hallway the next morning not too eager to start the year but she knew that if she didn't show up,she would be dead literally,by her best friend.

"Speaking of the devil"

"Alyssa!" Haziel screamed hugging her tightly.

"Haziel, you are cho-ki-ng m-e" Alyssa gasped

"So sorry,it's just I have missed you so much ."

"Yeah me too,where's Dwight?"

"Obviously he's with his man friends." Haziel said rolling her eyes

"You don't expect him to stick by your side all the time. Don't tell me you are jealous."

"Why would I be jealous? We are just friends."

"Exactly my point you are just friends unless you want to change the title to boyfriend."

"Eww, disgusting and never going to happen." Haziel said.

"Jeez, you used to have a major crush on him since we were kids and the holiday too before I traveled, so what happened."

Haziel sighed and she came to a stop and said.

"Remember all those videos call we made when you were in Iowa with your aunt. That you were hyping me to confess my feelings to Drake."

"Yeah I kinda expected that you two will be together now and I would be tagged the third wheel."

"Well on that faithful day,I went to his house,he was with two girls naked on his bed."

"Okaaay, they were studying naked on the bed," Alyssa said sheepishly.

"They were having a threesome Alyssa. THE GUY I HAD CRUSHED ON SINCE FIRST GRADE WAS HAVING A FREAKING THREESOME."

"Hey haziel,stop screaming, you're drawing attention to us."

"I know,I am sorry. just..Nevermind."

"You and I both know that Dwight had been a player right from time. But he cares for you in a way, he hasn't done towards any girl including me, Haziel maybe he think you don't feel the same way towards him. Just tell him ok."

"I would, but there's no need"

"Why?"

"Cause two nights ago, a barman called me and told me to come pick up Dwight cause he was totally wasted."

"And?" Alyssa prompted her

"He confessed that he loves me"

"OMG THATS GOOD NEWS, Haziel why aren't you screaming with me" Alyssa asked

"He thought I was you." Haziel dropped the bomb and entered the class leaving Alyssa in a state of shock.

************************************

Aidan walked into the room where Sally was currently staying with some blankets and clothes.

Sally was changing when he barged in, immediately he saw her, he whipped around and cleared his throat.

Oh, give me a minute, Sally said as she threw a top on.

You can look now.

Oh thanks, I came by to give this to you. Aidan said as he handed the clothes to her.

Thank you very much,

You are welcome

Well seems that's all, I'd better..

Where's Adrian?

Oh, he's kinda busy. Why?

Oh nothing, just wanted to know,cause I haven't seen him since the day he rescued me.

According to the report, it was Chris who rescued you first.

Oh yeah it was, then he came and saved us both.

Well, he's busy, but when I do see him, I will tell him you asked.

Ok thanks. Sally said as he left the room.

Aidan walked out of the room as he bumped into Tracy.

Hey brainaic

How dare you call me brainiac Tracy scowled.

Cause my girlfriend is a freaking genius and extremely beautiful. Adrian said as Tracy blushed.

Cut it out, Aidan. We can't talk about these now. How's the new girl?

She's cute.....I mean comfortable.

Uh-huh Tracy said nodding her head.

Yeah, and also she asked for Adrian too.

Why does all new girls asked for Adrian. Is it part of the routine. Tracy asked

U tell me, cause the same thing happened, when we rescued you.

Come on, I thought we agreed to let bygones be bygones.

Oh yeah we did, but it doesn't change the past.

So what can I do to improve your mood

Aidan smiled as he dragged Tracy back to their room.

Adrian stood on top of a skyscraper in the city, thinking about her.

Hey Adrian, why you pouting as usual.

Hey starlight. How is it going. Adrian whispered back

To be honest, heaven is boring. I kinda miss you all.

But you are supposed to be happy, you are finally at peace.

I know I should but it doesn't feel the same without you by my side.

It doesn't?

No it doesn't.

Why do you say that? Adrian said chuckling into the space as his subconscious mind replied him

Cause, nobody tastes better than you. I miss your touch, caress, taste, I miss everything about you and I miss you too.

I miss you badly too, starlight. Adrian said his voice cracking.

Just then his phone rang disrupting him from his personal thoughts.

He cleared his throat as he picked up the call

Hey! What's up?

Where are you?

Busy

Come back to the hideout

Why?

Force has started going on patrol, before they sense an inner lurking around in the city.

I can handle them.

Seriously bro, just come home. There is also no food and it's your turn to go shoplifting.

Ok fine. I'm on my way now. Adrian said as he cut the call.

Sorry starlight, I gotta go. Adrian whispered to the unknown as he teleported out of there.

************************************

Alyssa grunted in her sleep as sweatsbud were visible on her forehead. She was obviously having a nightmare but she couldn't seem to wake up

********* Mum, where's she? Alyssa from now on, I forbid you to mention her name in the house. She's dead to us ok? But mum...

Hush now, go to your room and stay there. We have got some important visitors

*********Two as one and one as two,one is disowned other in denial. One is dead and so shall the other be.

********* He confessed to me already. That's great news. Yeah I guess. He thought I was you.

********* Alyssa look at your bethrothed Cyril. We have agreed for you two to get married after graduation. Mum why are you doing this don't I have any say at all? Please mum, don't do this to me.

********** Don't do this. I'm sorry. I lost everything now. Nooooooo

ELECTRIXXXXXX,an unknown voice screamed in pains as the whole place explosed.

Immediately Alyssa woke up as the bulbs in her room exploded into bits as the pendant started glowing.

Immediately Alyssa's mum rushed in.

What's wrong, baby. What's going on?

I don't really know, the bulbs must have seriously blown. It will be a result of mismatched fuses.

But I hope you aren't hurt.

No mum, I am not, I was asleep. The noise must have woken me up.

Yeah, it was pretty loud. The whole street is out of electricity.

That bad huh?

Yeah, let's go to the kitchen let me make you a glass of milk. She said as she helped Alyssa stand up.
