Atom & Lily

Chapter 22:The end of a journey



Everything was fading in and out, first I was inside with Lily and Atom looking and me concerned, then I was suddenly outside the school building, lastly I see medics helping me, they probably don't know that I just saved everyone, they probably just see me as a random citizen that got caught in between a crossfire... its fine.

Days Later, I open my eyes, I felt refreshed since I don't normally sleep well. I had Bandages around my waist, I also looked around to see I'm on Lily's couch and speaking of Lily, she was right next to me sleeping, I guess she stayed by my side while I was asleep, I gently begin to shake Lily's shoulder to wake up, "hey, Lily." I whispered, I could see her eyes began to open but once they focused on me they were wide open and her face turn red like a tomato, "Ah!" Lily yelled out as she walked backwards "I wasn't doing anything at all I promise I just grew really, really tired from taking care of you for days!" Lily yelled, it sounded like a lie, before I could say anything to her Atom appeared "Oliver and Lily sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" he said mockingly "Shut up!" Lily and I said in sync, "Anyways now that your awake from healing up I needed to give you this." Atom said as he handed me a phone, "I found it on Grin's body and thought you might need it." He said, I grabbed it examining it, I didn't know what I would use it for but I kept it, suddenly Requiem decided to appear too, "I am Requiem!" He said, "ah I almost forgot!" Atom saids as he began to float towards Requiem, "Oliver, this is your shadow power, Shadow Powers are powers that need to unlocked by the person in order to use as all living creature have a small bit of Shadow in them, you aren't the only one with a Shadow Power Oliver, I know 4 other people who gained their Shadow Powers and you are now the fifth." Atom stated to me, "Indeed, as the ghost said I am the physical embodiment of my Master's rage." Requiem said to us, "I'm not a ghost!" Atom yelled at Requiem, "Anyways all Shadow powers are unique and all that's need is to unlock it by some means necessary." He said to me, "so does this mean I could unlock a power too!" Lily joyfully said to Atom, "If you can find a way to unlock it then yeah." He replied back, "Awesome, I always wanted a superpower!" Lily yelled out with Joy, "so what now guys?" I asked the crew, "well firstly we have to wait for your wounds to heal which could take a couple of weeks." Atom said to me, "Oh yeah, well then lets just relax until I heal up completely." I said to everyone but suddenly Grin's phone buzzed, I grabbed and saw a message, "I'll have my EYE on you Oliver Peddleton." from S., the room grew tense when I read it out-loud, we didn't know what to do so we just sat there, until my wounds healed up we would fully investigate Grin's phone but until then I can relax from all the year of looking for a killer without a break even if I was being targeted, and Lily can get back to her schoolwork once it reopens. All we have to do now is wait.
