Chapter 3 Keeper

"What you said about the bringer of darkness, is it true?" Mr. Tim asked

"What are you saying sir? What Bringer of darkness? And when did I ever say that?" She asked confusedly

"Don't you remember what happened?" Mr. Tim asked

He had suspected that this was the case when he saw the confused expression on her face the moment, he first entered but things could not be simply brushed off.

She had to remember as what she said, if true, could possibly bring about chaos if they were not prepared and they couldn't do so without getting the full picture.

"Sir I don't understand what you are talking about as I don't seem to remember what happened" she said.

Mr. Tim stared at her for a few more seconds trying to see if she was faking the amnesia but he didn't see any fluctuations on her face only that confused expression.

Even with th fact that she didn't remember what happened, this matter couldn't be swept u der the rug because what she said, if true, can mean the end of the human race.

He tried to explain what happened to her and all crystal was thinking at that moment was "what the hell?"

She tried to picture the scene a few hundred tes but she just couldn't process it. As she was thinking, something she had overlooked from hos explanation flashed in he mind.

"Sir are you meaning to tell me that I have unlocked my powers?" She asked.

"Yes but that's not the issue here, the issue is what you had said about the fate of the world" He replied, but at that moment all she heard was yes

She had finally unlocked her powers and that alone was enough to make her day. She felt that she would finally belong and have friends but Mr. Tim's next words shattered that dream.

"Your powers are not like any that has been seen before but we are still looking through th records to see if there's anything we missed" He said.

"Plus we still need you to come in for regular check ups so we can evaluate what you are and if we can't, we will have to send you to the state team for experimentation" He finished.

Crystal's face had already contorted as she felt that her life was meant to be a lonely one. She had been wishing all her life to get powers so she wouldn't be a freak anymore but who would have thought that getting it would make her more of a freak than she ever was.

She could already picture her life from now on, People fearing what she is and disassociating themselves from her even more, treating her like some science experiment, dangers from all sides, no friends, no family and utter loneliness forever.

She couldn't help but choke out a sob for the first time in her life. She had a strong heart but there are some things that could break even the strongest of hearts.

"So you mean to say that I will continue to live my live as a loner or even worse" She choked out.

Mr Tim felt sad for her but there was nothing he could do because it was all for a 'good cause' as the administrative head had put it. If they tried to hide it, it would be detrimental for them if the state team found out.

Essentially the state team was responsible for law and order, for experimenting on abnormalities and making sure any threat to the normal way of life is curbed or possibly eliminated.

This matter and everything she said was watched by not one or two students but th whole class. News about this would spread eventually as people feared the unknown especially if it seems to be stronger than you.

His silence was like a blow to crystal as she felt that this was very cruel to her. Imagine living in light since you were born the being forcibly plunged into darkness. After almost giving up, you are given light again then once you are already full of hope it is snatched away again.

She felt like the world was just against her as this on its own was really cruel. She hated the feeling of being helpless and not being able to control anything about her life.

She just lay down on the bed and refused to answer Mr Tim anymore as she she felt that if she did he may give her an even worse blow.

Mr Tim stopped talking as he felt that she needed some time to herself to accept her fate. He told her that he would be back before he turned and left.

A short while after, the door to the clinic opened and in strode a young man that carried a regal air to him. He was fair, tall, buff and really alluring. Looking at him, you could classify him as a siren but the problem was that he wasn't a siren at all.

He strode towards the girl that was sobbing on the bed and stared at her for a bit before he reached out to touch her shoulder and called out "Saviour"

Crystal heard the door close behind Mr Tim as he left before she gave in to her tears. Shortly after she heard the door open again and assumed it was either Mr Tim or the nurse so she didn't move but a deep and smooth voice rang out.

"Saviour"

She turned around to see who it was as she didn't recognize the voice but she was stunned by the beautiful young man before her.

"Who the hell are you?" She questioned as she had never seen this person in the school before.

He chuckled and it sounded like heaven bells were ringing.

"I am Aiden Ryder. Your personal keeper and guide at your moment of transition"

"Transition?? What are you talking about?"

He chuckled again.

"Oh what a naive one you are. You are in fact the the bringer of doom and he is you. I am just here to make sure you are strong enough to battle it out with him once he arrives because if you can't, he will take over your body and wreck havoc into this world"
