Both me and Storm were sitting down at the kitchen table.
He was already done with his sandwich, while I was finishing mine up.
But damn, this man eats fast.
After putting his plate on the table, the sandwich was gone after I made my own.
He was looking at me with a serene smile on his face and his back was leaning against the chair.
I could imagine his legs spread apart; the finishing touch to his royal seating position.
I tried to avoid his stare and was spending my time watching the blank white plate.
I cleared my throat and decided to voice my uneasiness.
I looked up once again and a blue light was swimming in his eyes.
" Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.
His smile turned into a secretive one and his eyes looked as if they spoke I know something you don't.
I sighed; realizing that I won't be getting any answers from him for that question.
So I decided to ask him about something else; to turn things less awkward between the both of us.
"How do you do it," I asked, gesturing to the dead plant." Take its energy?" I finished.
His head turned around as if he saw it for the first time.
" You're asking me how I take the energy from living things?"
I nodded.
" I mentioned to you once that my species has powers right? Well, that's one of them. We can absorb any essence we want from anything," Storm started explaining.
A memory flashed inside my head.
When I jumped into his tank, in hopes of saving Matthew from drowning.
And then darkness.
The video that Shaun showed me.
" That's what you did when I almost drowned. You absorbed the water from my body," I realized.
His back straightened, Storm's jaw clenched.
"Yeah..." he agreed, confirming my suspicions.
An awkward silence filled the kitchen.
He seemed uncomfortable by that fact.
I frowned.
Why would he? It's not like I could have meant something to him at that time?
And then I remembered what he told me of the first meeting.
His species are immortal, they don't understand death.
