Elements: Rise of The Destruction (Book 1)

Family Scars (Chapter 18)

Owen's eyes widen as his finger hits the call button. He puts his right hand in front of him as his parents' hands collide with his.

He staggers backwards, gasping then gritting his teeth in pain. His phone slips back into his pocket as his other hand freezes in place. He tenses up as the pain overtakes his senses. His veins turn black like his hand.

His parents are grinning, a dark shine to their eyes. His mom, the dark skinned, black haired and brown eyed woman looking as if she was enjoying this.

His dad, the tan skinned, brown haired, and green eyed man looking like he was waiting for this his whole life.

Owen couldn't move his hand away or use his other hand. "C'mon! Move!" Owen begged himself, he could feel himself starting to cry. "Please stop! It's hurting me!"

--

Ku looks at the paper he found in Alex's parents' house. He gritted his teeth. No, they do not deserve to be called his parents...they do not get that title, this little-Ku's thoughts gets interrupted by a phone call.

Something is wrong! Ku feels the wave of the feeling of danger.

He takes his phone out from his cloak pocket and sees Owen's number. Everyone is here..Ku starts to think about what might be keeping him.

He hits the green button and hears Owen's screams. He threw his phone and ran out faster then anyone's seen him.

--

Barely able to open his eyes, Owen sees a blurry image of his parents' other hand coming towards him. Yet...he still couldn't get himself to move...

The sound of the window shattering distracts his parents and they step back. Owen falls down, holding onto his right hand and crying out in pain.

Ku swings his staff at Owen's parents and sends them flying towards the wall. His parents stagger back up.

"Owen! What happened?" Ku turns and kneels in front of him.

"My hand! I-I didn't think it would hurt so much!" Owen gasps, trying to control his crying.

"Owen, that is the one thing you should not have done!" Ku's eyes widen at the sight of his hand. He carries Owen in his arms and jumps out the window.

Much to Ku's relief and annoyance, he finds the police waiting outside. Crap...they can not see his hand..Ku thinks to himself. He quickly takes out a paper from his pocket and scribbled a note on it. Then, he dashes past the police, leaving the note next to the same police man from last time.

--

Ku rushes into the treehouse. Everyone coming out to see where the breeze came from.

"Owen?!"

They rush over to Ku, who sets down Owen but gives him support for his top half that leans on Ku's leg.

Urana runs in with a kit and slides across the floor on her knees and opens the kit, taking out some chemicals.

"Oh thank goodness you know how to heal this," Ku sighs in relief. Remembering that he taught them.

"What in the world even happened?" Brenton questions, looking at the pale Owen who is gritting his teeth in pain.

"Is he gonna to be okay?" Alex asks, worry lining his voice and facial expressions.

"I sure hope so.." Ava adds, looking grim and concerned.

"He blocked magic using his bare hands...and none other than Eliminators' magic," Ku explains, looking ready to murder someone.

"Wait do you mean..?" Amy's eyes widen. Ku nods silently and watches Urana create a remedy.
