The Beggining of the END

The cold wind bit through the alley, and Noah stood still, his breath visible in the frosty air. His fingers tingled with an unnatural energy. The light between his fingers flickered, small but bright. He had lived with this power for as long as he could remember, hiding it from the world. He had always feared what would happen if anyone ever found out.

But tonight, he felt something shifting. His powers, the light, the telekinesis, had always been unpredictable. For years, he’d kept them under wraps, convincing himself they were nothing more than a curse. But the weight in the pit of his stomach told him that something was different now.

Footsteps echoed from the far end of the alley. His heart beat faster. He didn’t need to look to know who it was.

Marcus Kane.

He appeared from the shadows, his tall figure looming like a dark specter. Noah’s breath caught. Kane’s expression was unreadable, but there was something in his eyes, something that suggested this moment had been planned.

“You’ve been hiding, Noah,” Kane said, his voice smooth like he was stating a fact. “It’s time for the truth.”

Noah swallowed, his instincts screaming to run, to get away, but something kept him in place. “What truth?”

“You’ve always known, deep down,” Kane said, taking a step closer. “You’re not like the others. You never were.”

Noah shook his head, trying to suppress the unease creeping up his spine. “I’m not a freak.”

Kane smiled slightly. “No, you’re not. But you’ve always been part of something bigger.”

Noah’s fists clenched. “What do you want from me?”

Kane’s gaze sharpened, his tone colder. “I’m not asking. You’ve been chosen, Noah. You’re the key.”

“No,” Noah spat, his power flaring in his hands. “I’m not anyone’s key. Not yours.”

Kane raised an eyebrow. “You think you can fight this? You were never meant to be a part of their world. But you will be.”

Before Noah could respond, Kane’s hand flicked, and the world around him seemed to distort. His body lifted off the ground without warning, an invisible force gripping him.

“Let go!” Noah gritted through clenched teeth, his fists struggling to direct the light toward Kane, but it wasn’t enough. Kane was in control.

“You don’t have a choice anymore, Noah. This is bigger than you. You were born for this.”

The air around him seemed to thicken, and Noah could feel his power begin to drain. He was trapped in Kane’s grip, but he knew, deep down, there was something he hadn’t yet understood.

He had to escape. He had to fight back, for his longing life to not disappear in the woods...

Once Napoleon said,; You can loose a battle but it does not mean you lost the entire WAR. From the short one to the tallest, my words are for the honest. True and false, I'm gonna dans.
