This is another one of his nightmares, they always end like this, every single one of them. Any moment now and he’ll wake up in his bed drenched in cold sweat. It never happens.  

He collapses in front of her ignoring the blood that seeps through his jeans and grabs her. Jason shakes her not wanting to believe what he is seeing. He calls for her but she doesn’t respond. Jason calls for her until his voice is hoarse and his tears no longer shed. He kneels and holds his mother for what seems like an eternity hoping that hell wake up and it will be all over.

“We should get rid of the body and burn the house,”  a deep voice says.

Jason looks up as two men walk into the small shed dressed in black from head to toe. He recognizes one because of the eyes. It's the same man from school, the one with dark brown eyes and a purple band around his eyes. The other man’s eyes are showing but his are blue of color surrounded by a steel band like the other man's.

They both look at him at the same time and the one with the steel band eye’s widen as if he's surprised. The one with the purple band just looks at him like he was expecting him. Jason stands up leaving his mother’s corpse on the floor. The one with the purple band watches him rise then suddenly Jason can't move anymore or open his mouth to ask who they are. Jason looks at the purple eyed one and notices that the dark brown of his iris is gone replaced with a deep and glowing purple.

“Look at what we have here”, the man with the purple eyes smirks, “Who might you be?”.

Jason tries to move or talk but he can’t.

“Why don’t we have a little fun,” the purple eyed man starts moving towards Jason. He flicks his sleeve and a knife lands in his hand. The knife comes closer to Jason but he can’t do anything to stop it. He closes his eyes awaiting the inevitable pain but it never comes. He opens them slowly only to see that the knife right in front of his face. The blue eyed man is grabbing the other man’s arm.

“Why did you bring him into this, our target was only Clara, ” the blue eyed one says. 

"Yes but now I get to have fun since you killed her to fast. The least you can do is let me kill their son."

The blue eyed man eyes widen. "He's their son?"

The purple eyed one smirks and frees his arm.

"You know what ill let you do the honors. Think of it as a test of loyalty".

They’re going to kill him, Jason thinks, he doesn't know anybody by the name Clara. His mother’s name was Mary and she was the only one dead. Why where they calling his mother Clara? That doesn’t matter right now he has to get away and get help or they’ll kill him. He struggles with all his might to get away but he can’t move an inch. 

"When did you use your ability on him, you haven’t touched him since we got here,’"the steel eyed man says to the other one.

“That doesn’t matter just hurry up and kill him. Remember no witnesses or am I going to have to tell the order that you let a witness go. They'll question your loyalty and you know what happens to the un-loyal.”

The blue eyed one pales for a moment but obeys and starts walking towards him. Jason struggles but can’t move anymore than the last attempt. The man looks at him with sad eyes, “I'm sorry it wasn't suppose to happen like this. We were only here for your mother, I hope you can forgive me in the afterlife.” The blue of his eyes are consumed by steel. A knife appears in the man’s hand and he raises it to plunge it into Jason’s chest. It never reaches him. There’s a flash of red that comes from behind him. The knife in the man’s hand shatters into many pieces and he lets go of it jumping back. Jason feels that he can move again and looks behind him. He realizes that the light didn't come from behind him but from himself. He looks down at his arms and body, he’s surrounded by a red haze making him glow. He turns and looks at the two men still staring at him with shocked expressions. He turns to run away but he feels good, like he could take them and come out on top. The one with steel eyes snaps out of his shock first. He snaps his fingers and there’s a blade in his hands. He throws it but it never reaches Jason. It shatters before it reaches him and the pieces fall harmlessly in front of Jason. He is filled with a sudden urge to kill the men in front of him and he knows he could do it if he manages to touch them. If only he could touch them then he can get revenge for his mother.

“WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?” Jason yells at the two men in front of him, pointing at his mother’s corpse.

The two men ignore him and rush him. The purple eyed one went behind him and tried to stab him with a blade that he got from the one with steel eyes. The blade shattered before it could make contact with Jason. The steel eyed man stayed at a distance and threw knives at him. All but one shattered before reaching Jason. The one that reached got buried in his right shoulder. Jason screams. The steel eyed man sees Jason in pain and uses the chance to throw two more knives. One knife buries itself in Jason’s stomach and the other one in his left thigh. The purple eyed one's eyes glow and he stops moving. Two more knives come flying and are targeted at his body.

 'I'm going to die,' is all he can think. 'No I cant die. Not here. Not while they're still alive'.  

He feels something and he grabs on to it. Suddenly there's a huge explosion of red light followed by a huge sound of things shattering. He falls to the ground and tries to look around. Everything around him is destroyed shattered into pieces. The world leaves and so does the pain.
