Chapter 10: Pain is Life
Updates start from Chapter 6!
__________
Looking around, I saw there was no car in site. They were using their powers to travel. Using my speed, I ran all the way down the road and headed to my house. Tears trickling down my face and I feared the worst. Finally reaching, I burst through the door ran throughout the house.
"DAD!" I shouted from the top of my lungs. My eyes trailed to the stair railing where I saw blood. My insides froze in fear. Quickly running up the stairs, I saw a trail of blood leading into the bedroom. The light was on and I could hear the sound of something leaking.
Pushing the door open, I let out a gasp and quickly ran over to my father who was drench in blood on the floor.
"Dad," I muffled out through my tears as I flipped him over. He was currently choking on his blood. I sat him up and leaned him against the bed before using my powers to take the blood out of his lungs.
"I'm so sorry, this is my fault," I cried as I felt his energy and pain when I held his hand. His ribs were broke and his spine was broken as well. His face was bashed up. He also had stab wounds all over him.
His hand slowly grabbed mine, "It's not your fault Sweetheart."
I let out a sob, "But it is. I should not have come here. I should of sent you some where else. I need to heal you," I spoke as he started to gasp for air. He shook his head, "No. Please don't," he begged.
Before I could respond, coughing came from the bathroom. Quickly standing up, I kept my guard up and looked into the bathroom to see my mother was sitting in the bathtub soak in water and her blood. Dragging her out, I could hear he taking slow breathes. I gently picked her up with my powers and carried her out to the bedroom. I then laid her next to dad. I watched as they both slowly held hands.
"We've always been proud of you. I've always been proud of you. Watch over your brother and tell him we love him too," my mother breath out.
"Mom, let me heal -"
"No. I should of told you to watch out for Kai. I meant to tell you that before but never got around to it," she coughed up some blood.
She then turned to my father who was already looking at her.
"I love you," she whispered. "I love you too," he muffled back with his last breath. I watched as they both took their last breath. Crawling over to them, I sat between then and held their hands. I could feel their energy fading as each second went by.
How could someone do this? How could they back-stab me like this? After everything I've done for that asshole Kai, he goes behind my back and lie. Now his brother does this. They were going to pay a price for what they did.

Victor's POV
I watched as Freya ran out the house with speed. Looking back, I saw Ethan was trying to run after Freya but Chase held him back. Running out the house, I looked to see Freya was no longer in sight. Hopping into my car, I drove off to her house. I shouldn't have kept my death a secret from her for this long. It was wrong of me to do so but I needed to protect her. Judging by tonight however, it didn't seem like she needed protection. She took that bullet like if it was nothing. Not to mention her eyes were glowing blue.
Lightning flashed through the sky and I stepped on the gas. About 15 minutes into the ride, I arrived at her house. Hopping out the car, I ran to the front door that was already open. The house was freezing cold as if it was a deep freezer. As I walked further in, I could hear whispering coming from upstairs.
Trailing up the stairs, I followed the whispering. My eyes widened as I saw how much blood was splat around the room. My eyes then hovered over to Freya who was floating in the with her parents on the ground behind her. They were dead. Her clothes were covered in blood. Some which was hers and the rest was probably from her parents. Things around the room were circling Freya as she was whispering something. Her eyes were glowing hazel now and staring directly at me. It looked like she was in some trans. She was here but not mentally.
"Freya," I softly called her name. She didn't move a muscle. As I got closer, I could hear what she was whispering.
"I'm going to find you. I'm going to kill you," she spoke repeatedly. Her voice hinted no sign of sadness but rather of anger. Gently reaching towards her, I grabbed her hand. Her head then shifted down to me to which her glowing eyes then went away. I watched as she pulled her hand away from mine and stood on her two feet.
"We need to go. I'll call someone to clean this place up and take care of your parents. You need to rest and so does Ethan," I added in Ethan knowing that she would of protested if I hadn't said his name. "Go wait in the car. I'll pack some clothes for you," I spoke in a soft tone. Without a world, she walked out the room.
Letting out a sigh, I couldn't help but feel so useless. I wanted to be there for her but she seems like she doesn't want me there. She pushes me away. I don't blame her but I can't help her unless she lets me and I know she's hurting inside.
I made a few calls before packing some clothes for Freya. I then called the guys and told them to grab Ethan and meet me at another safe house which was 3 hours away from here. I then packed some clothes for Ethan and walked down the stairs before walking to the car.
Freya was in the passenger seat staring out her window. I threw the bags in the backseat and hopped in before driving off.
"What happened?" I asked as we headed out of town.
She stayed quiet but kept her stare straight ahead.
"I'm sorry about what happened. I know I should of told you earlier that I was alive but I knew -"
Before I could finish talking, the radio came on. She turned the music up using her powers and I peeked over to see her eyes were glowing hazel again. Her hand clenched into fist. I could feel the anger radiating off her. Without hesitation, I took her hand in mine. She went to pull away but stopped after a second. Her eyes trailed to my hand before she looked at me like she was figuring something out.
She then turned her attention back to the road in front us and remained quiet for the rest of the 3 hours. I wanted to ask her more questions but I think it's best I don't. Finally reaching to the safe house, I parked the car and walked around to the passenger side but Freya had already stepped out. Within a blink, she was now walking into the house. She probably used her powers to open the locks from the inside.
Letting out a sigh, I grabbed the bags from the trunk and headed inside. Walking upstairs, I could hear the shower running in one of the room. I dropped her bag in her room and placed Ethan's bag in the room where he would be staying.
"Victor!" a voice echoed through the house. I recognized the voice as Leo. Jogging down the stairs, I saw all the guys were here along with Ethan who looked worried. Poor kid. I wonder how Ethan was going to handle this news of his parents death.
His eyes scanned the room before looking at me, "Where is she?" he asked.
"Upstairs showering. I think you should take a shower and change into your night clothes. When she's done showering then you can see her," I gave him a soft smile.
He seem to understand that there was no choice so he simply nodded.
"Your room is upstairs, second door to the left," I informed him. "Thanks," he mumbled as he dragged himself to the stairs. Silence overcame the house to only the sound of Ethan going up the stairs then shutting the door.
Kyle opened his mouth to talk but I motioned him to be quiet and for the guys to follow me. I took their phones and placed it next to the speaker as I played some music on the stereo so if Ethan tried to hear anything, he couldn't. I walked through the door which lead to the kitchen and the guys all walked in and gathered around me.
"What happened?" Oscar asked.
"Well," I mumbled trying to figure out where to start from, "Their parents were viciously killed. I walked into the house and went upstairs to see Freya floating in the air with her parents bodies on the ground behind her. Seems like they were dead when she got their but I'm not sure. She didn't tell me anything or spoke one word. However, when I did see her, she was in some sort of trans and kept whispering, I'm going to find you. I'm going to kill you. It's clear Kai, Liam and that girl who was with them did this. Her eyes were also glowing Hazel. I have to admit, she's changed a lot," I explained to them.
They all nodded their head. "This all happened when she tried to stop that storm. Ethan was telling us in the car that she tapped into some sort of energy in the Earth and it's not all good depending on the way she uses it," Richard informed me.
We spent some time talking and catching up before calling it a night. Everyone went to their rooms and I sat by my computer desk in my room with the door open. Every now and then, I would glimpse out my door to see Freya's door was still closed, her room was across from mine.
A few minutes rolled by and she opened her door. I looked at her to see she was heading to Ethan's room. She knocked for a second and the door open. I could hear Ethan's excitement as he saw his sister. The door then closed and silent echoed through the empty hallway.
About 4 hours passed by before a door opened then closed. I looked to see Freya going back to her room. I went to say something but she closed the door. They way she moved made me questioned my life. It was like she blocked out her emotions. The Freya I once knew would be broken right now.
Not knowing what to do, I decided to take my lights off and just lay in bed as I was on my phone. It was impossible for me to get any sleep since I had insomnia. After about an hour, her door opened again and I watched as she turned to the stairs and walked that direction. I tried to listen closely to her footsteps but she moved with stealth. Maybe she's getting a drink of water or eating something. About half and hour passed and she didn't return to her room.
Getting out of bed, I shoved my phone in my pocket and headed downstairs. Searching each room, I saw Freya wasn't here however, the backyard blinds were moved. Stepping out into the back, I looked around and saw Freya laying down in the middle of the yard. She didn't use her powers or anything.
Walking over, I laid down next to her the opposite way but our heads were side by side.
She didn't move or flinch. Her eyes just kept gazing at the stars in the sky. She looked lost in her own thoughts.
"What are you thinking?" I asked hoping she would speak to me. She stayed quiet. Part of me felt sad. I didn't know how to help her. I still don't even know when I should tell her about my powers.
"I still have the butterfly picture," I spoke as I pulled out my phone and showed her the lock screen which was the picture I took of her in art class with butterflies on her head in a shape of a crown. She peaked down at the picture before looking back up at the sky. "I remember that day you helped me hold a butterfly for the first time," I recalled.
Silence.
"Don't you just wish you could touch the stars," I mumbled as I gazed at them with her, "It's probably one of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen but I'm pretty sure if I touch it, I'll burn to death," I joked. Not even the slightest chuckle or giggle.
"How are you doing?" I shifted the conversation, "I know this isn't easy for you. You just found out about Kai and Liam, then you also found out about me. Then there's your parent to which I am truly sorry about. How did Ethan take the news?" I asked.
No answer.
"If you're mad at me, I understand but it's not healthy to keep everything bottled up," I softly spoke.
"What do you want me to say Victor? How much I hate them for killing my parents? How much I wish I could be the best sister for Ethan or how much I missed you? Which one would you like to hear to please your delicate soul?" she hissed.
I sat up and looked down at her, "Neither. I just want you to tell me how you feel. I know this isn't the real you. Something happened and it has a control over you."
She then sat up so I was eye level with her. "I like who I am now. The other me was lighthearted and gullible. I'm not taking anyone's shit anymore," she growled before standing up.
I quickly stood up and threw her over my shoulder before running inside.
"Put me down," she shouted. Ignoring her pleading and punching, I walked upstairs into my room and shut the door before putting her down. Her eyes were now hazel again.
She marched to the door and opened it but I quickly shut it. She spun around and glared at me. I then went to touch her hand but she quickly pulled away. "Don't touch me," she hissed.
"Or what?" I challenged as I lifted my hand up and stroked her cheek. Her eyes started to glow blue as if she was warning me. Ignoring her warnings, I made contact with her skin. It was as soft as I've ever remembered.
She went to slap my hand off her but I held her hand in midair causing her to stop. "That's not a smart idea," I spoke in a stern tone as I eyed her. Within a swift move, she twisted my hand off of her and tackled me to the floor. I went to push her off me as she was on top me but she was currently using her powers to pin me down to the floor.
Crouching down over me, her eyes looked into mine as if she was searching for something. Her head tilted to the side causing a strand of her white hair to fall over her face. "This is the last time I'm going to warn you. Don't touch me and stay out of my way. If you get in my way, I will not hesitate to take you down," her sentence came through with a growl.
Stepping over me, she released me from the hold and headed for my door.
"So that's it? You're just going to ignore everything else?" I asked as I trailed behind her as she walked back out my room and down the stairs.
I could hear a scoff coming from her as she walked outside into the yard again. "What do you want? My parents just died and I need to protect Ethan and this whole world from Liam and his brother along with that tramp who's with them," she hissed, walking further into the yard.
"And what about me?" I asked.
She stopped in her tracks.
"What about you?" she mumbled not even bothering to turn around.
"Do you still have feelings for me? Don't you miss you being together? You're standing right in front me and I can't even put my arms around you because you'll attack me, which by the way, I don't care what you do to me but it still sucks. It's like you just shut everything out and isolated yourself from every emotion," I shrieked before letting out a sigh, "Freya, I just miss you and you're pushing me away," I admitted.
"So what do you want me to do? You want me to run into your arms and start crying?" she asked as she spun around to look at me. Wow getting through to her was going to be a challenge by itself.
"No but it would be a good start if I knew how you felt if you'd just let me in," I pleaded with her.
Her eyes bore into mine for a second before she started to march towards me. As she got closer, her expression changed into a more furious and annoyed look. "Fine! You want to know how I feel? You got it," she hissed before placing both of her hands on both sides of my head.
Before I could ask any questions, I felt a bunch of emotions overcome me. I felt sadness, anger, guilt and the strongest one was pain. I felt my whole body aching at this unbearable pain where I felt each bone in my body breaking. I then mentally felt as if my heart was breaking into pieces. I wanted to scream but nothing came up.
Within a blink, I was looking at Freya who was just staring back at me. My baby girl was in so much unbearable pain. "Freya, I'm so-"
Before I could finish, she flew straight up into the sky before vanishing into the clouds
