Chapter-4
“He is more simple-minded than I thought.” Sid murmured to himself as he watched Scott leaving the house. He silently watched him as he walked away while thinking about something. He once again looked at the flower vase and Said, “Telekinesis huh.” Suddenly the vase started distorting and breaking down. Soon it disappeared in thin air. If, Scott was here he would definitely be speechless. Because what just happened, is very similar to something which can only be done by those who possess one of the superior Grade ‘A’ ability ‘Teleportation’.
“Power to control the Space and Time huh” Sid thought to himself “So I have an ability of my own now. Who would have thought that getting beaten up to the point of near death, will give me such an amazing ability.” He said while smiling bitterly.
Sid was one of the kids born with an ability called Inborn Wisdom. People with this ability can be considered extremely intelligent. They can learn anything and everything as soon as they were born. So although Sid was only 8 years old, he was still as smart as an adult. A very useful ability to have right? Unfortunately that was all it can do. Although people with this ability can be considered smart but they were still just normal humans. Without being strong you won’t be able to live in this world. Usually inborn Wisdom was always found in people with multiple abilities. But Sid only ended up with a bit of wisdom nothing else. He could be considered the most useless person on the Earth in this new Era. Because of that, he was bullied everywhere, and even hated by his own parents. Just the other day, he was beaten up just because he bumped into their leader.
“I don’t know if I should thank you or not.” Sid said when he thought about those guys. He always had an inferior complex to people possessing amazing abilities. Now that he had his own ability, you could say that he can now be considered a true Ability User.
As Sid was thinking all this, Scott came back form his walk.
“Well, What are you doing Kid?” Scott asked when he saw Sid sitting by the window.
“Nothing, Just enjoying the scenery.” Sid replied while looking out of the window.
“I See” Scott sat down on a chair as looked at Sid. ‘I guess it’s the time to ask about it’ Scott thought to himself. Although he never wanted to ask about it, it was necessary to know who did such a thing. Otherwise, there can be more incidents like this in the future. But just as he was going to ask about it, Sid said suddenly, “It was just an accident, nothing else.”
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“Huh?” Scott was surprised when Sid started talking suddenly. But he soon got his composure back and asked him, “What are you talking about?”
“Weren’t you going to ask me about what happened that day? Well I’m telling you just about that.” Sid replied calmly.
“So you’re trying to say that, you were beaten to the near death situation, and it was just an accident?” Scott asked him with anger flashing in his eyes.
“Yes” Sid replied as though it was a very obvious fact.
"You! Kid, do you know what are you saying? If you don’t tell me what happened that day, I won’t be able to help you!” Scott shouted furiously in anger. He was angry. How can he leave something like this alone after seeing Sid in that condition?
“But I never asked for your help did I?” Sid said expressionlessly. He seemed to return to his usual expressionless self at this moment.
“You!” Scott pointed his finger at him as he was about to say something. Suddenly he thought of something and took a deep breath. He looked at Sid seriously and asked,
“Kid, is it possible that those guys threatened you? If that’s the case, you can still tell me about it. I will make sure that those guys won’t find out about you. There is no need to be scared. Just tell me who was it and I will….” But before he could finish,
“I SAID it was an accident. There is no need to look any further.” Sid cut him off, and said.
Scott was Speechless when he heard it. He then suddenly sighed, and stood up, “Well, if you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you. But I will catch whoever did that to you, no matter what.” He went to his room as he said this.
Sid looked at Scott as he walked away, and murmured, “If I tell you about who those guys are, I won’t be able to kill them with my own hands.” As he said this a sinister smile and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
----------------------------------
Back at the city hospital where Sid was taken last time, Doctor was still thinking about what happened during the treatment of Sid. But after thinking for a long time, he wasn’t able to think of anything. So he decided to contact one of his friends in ‘Healer Association’. But Even his friend was surprised to hear about it.
“John, I will ask you once again. Whatever you said now is completely true right?” Voice on the other side of phone asked the Doctor. “Absolutely true” Doctor ‘John’ replied seriously.
The voice was silent for a few seconds, after that he said, “Its still hard for me to believe all this. So I will be coming over in a few days to check up on that brat you are talking about.” He stopped for a second and said, “This is a serious matter, so I hope you won’t tell anybody else about it.”
“Yes I will make sure that nobody finds out about it.” John said seriously.
“See you later than.” He hung up soon after.
‘Don’t blame me for this Kid, but it is for the greater good.’ John thought to himself. Although he knew, that something like this will put Sid in danger, but he still couldn’t resist himself. Such an amazing ability should be used for greater good, or so he thought. He wasn’t aware this thinking will bring his demise soon enough.
