Chapter 2: Breaking the Beast
Sleep had never come easy to one who had seen too much. But when one had seen thousands die in a blink of an eye, one became jaded. Yet in this teenager body and mind, I actually feel like I'm 15 years old once more. The endless planning, the countless war preparation, it doesn't matter anymore. I feel young and in love. I have forgetting the care-free feeling of just being in the moment. It still bothered me a little that Keith was evasive after we made love. But all that doesn't matter. If Keith was to be my boyfriend, the war wouldn't become a three way stalemate and ended in disaster. With his power combine with mine, Ash, the third super power would easily be destroyed. We could usher in an era of peace together. Part of me knew better than to dream like a lovesick teenager but I couldn't help it.
For the first time in my life, I was anxious to get to school. I was ready to go before my mom finished her morning coffee. When I got to school, Keith seemed to avoid me again. He wouldn't even make eyes contact with me. He still talked to me but he wouldn't start any conversation. By lunch time, I couldn't stand it anymore. I pull him aside just as we got out of class and asked, "Keith, what's wrong? Ever since we `had fun' yesterday, you have been avoiding me. Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you yesterday?"
He looked down and said, "No Cameron. Yesterday was wonderful. But it was still a mistake. You see, I have a boyfriend."
"What?!!!! Who is it?" The teenager in me reacted to the news quite poorly. Part of me was in disbelief and the other part felt this cold dread in my heart.
"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have done what we did. Alex is the only person who understands me and loves me. Please don't tell him! Please! I can't lose him. I don't have anyone else," he pleaded.
I can see tears started to form and it broke my heart. I wanted to tell him that he still got me but I held my tongue. I placed my hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. It will be our secret."
From my left side, I heard a voice saying, "Oh how sad! The fag just got rejected. Guess your bitch like sucking my little bro's cock more."
I turned around and realized Daniel must have heard our conversation. Keith was fluster and he went white. That made my blood boiled. Between clenched teeth, I said, "Walk away! Walk away and never speaks of what you heard or you wouldn't live past today!"
"OOOHHHH! The little homo is mad! I'm so scared now!" he taunted and laughed. He raised his left hand to punch me just as I was raising my left hand to stop his heart completely. It would look natural like he had a heart attack. In that moment, two of his friends yelled out for him to stop. Instead of killing him, I decided to catch his punch with my left hand and held him until his friends arrived.
"Danny! Don't get suspended again. Football season is starting, remember?" one Daniel's buddies said.
He jerked his hand out of mine and said, "We'll finish this after school if you have the guts to show up. Behind the gym. Three thirty." Then he walked off with his buddies.
Keith was still white and scared. He stammered, "What...What are we going to do? He's going to tell everyone about all of us! I can take his abuse but I can't let Alex be outed."
I can't stand seeing Keith scared like this anymore. Something needed to be done and it needed to be done soon. I putted an arm around his shoulder to reassure him. "Leave this problem to me. I promise I will take care of it." He didn't look at all convinced. "Alex is waiting for you and you can't let him know about his. You need to be brave and protect him from this. He's going to know something is wrong if he sees you like this. You have you act normal, please, for him."
As we walked to the lunch area, Keith tried his best to look normal again but his colors hadn't return to his face completely. Naturally Alex was concerned but I explained that we ran into Daniel but everything was ok. Keith put on a brave face and tried to focus his attention on Alex. When he glanced at me again, I could see his silence pleading that I would somehow be able to keep my promise. I told them both I had to go talked to some friends and I will see them both tomorrow since I was cutting the last two classes.
It was around 4pm when Daniel figured I chicken out from the fight and left. As he sat down in his truck and started his engine, he felt a metallic object pressed against his head.
"I believe we have a date after school," I said calmly. "Sorry I'm a bit late but I had to pick this gun up. Now be a good boy and take us south on highway 16. You and I need to have a talk in private."
About an hour into the drive, I told him to pull off the road and I interrogated him to see if he told anyone about what he heard. He haven't told anyone because he wanted to beat me up and forced me to admit I'm gay in front of everyone. That would have been a total victory for him if that did happen. We both got out of the car and I decided to drop the illusion. The gun was never real. It was only a mental projection to get him here. As soon as he saw that I no longer had a gun, without even thinking of what happen to the gun, he launch at me. I side-stepped, slammed him against the hood of his truck, and held him there. I inserted a disruption disk into the top of his spine paralyzing him from the shoulder down. I wrapped my arms and my invisibility shield around him and flew off into the hillside.
On the flight to the cabin, his mouth spewed non-stop curses. We landed near a log cabin up in the hills. I had skipped the last two classes just to find this remote location and prepared it for this moment. The place was still relatively clean like it was just used last summer. My telepathy confirmed that there wasn't anyone around except on the highway miles from here. I threw him on the couch and dissolved the disruption disk. Finding that he could finally move, he got up and ran for the door. He didn't get five steps before vines dropped from the ceiling, wrapped around his arms and lifted him three feet off the ground. Vines erupted from the floor to hold his feet in place.
Once Daniel realized he couldn't get free, he swore, "Fuck! I'm sorry about today man. Please just let me go. I wouldn't tell anyone what I heard. I promise! Please!"
"I just kidnapped you, paralyzed you, and flew you to a remote cabin. Do you think I will let you go just like that?" I smirked. "I do need you to keep what you heard a secret, but I also need some information from you. Once I have all I need, you are free to go."
"Ok you got me. What do you want to know?"
I floated up to him and started unbuttoning his shirt and pant. He screamed more profanities at me and struggled anew. In a minute, his shirt was open and his pant was down to his ankles to reveal a nicely build chest, beautiful 6 pack, not to mention what look like a hard, thick 8 inches cock. Struggled as he may, I managed to draw an arcane symbol on his forehead and his belly button before I floated away from him.
I sat down on the sofa and calmly addressed him. "I have no intention of raping you so you can relax. I just wanted to ensure you are going to tell me the truth." Then from his belly button burst five spiders, each heading for a different part of his body in all direction. Daniel's eyes went wild with fear as he tried to shake them off his body.
"I see you're afraid of spider," I continued. "They will only bite when you lie or refuse to answer. Their bite will send shockwave through your nervous system causing pain like nothing you had ever experience before. The symbol on your head will prevent you from losing consciousness so we can do this for as long takes. Let's begin with a simple question, why do you hate Keith?"
His eyes were still on the spiders and ignored my question. The spider bit into him and he let out a wail loud enough to be heard half a mile away. I allowed him to recover before I repeat my question. This time he answered right away.
"Because he's a little queer and I hate all queers!" It was a truthful answer since the spider stood still.
"You and Keith were once best friends," I stated. "What happen between you guys? And I want a detail answer."
"It was simple! I told everyone what he tried to do that day. We were horsing around when that homo tried to kiss me!" The spider bit into him as soon as he finished his sentence and he scream again.
"Care to try again?" I asked. "Alright! Alright! I kissed him and he kissed me back. I freaked out so I told everyone that he made a move on me." I could see that it pained him to admit this truth.
"I see! That's why Keith became an outcast. It was because of you! You sold out your best friend since childhood! For what?" I yelled at him.
"Did you think I wanted it turn out the way it did? But I just can't! I can't be around a homo like him!" Daniel was hiding his face now. He sounded like he had a lump in his throat. By now I had figure out the reason he acted like he did but I will make him spit the truth out.
I have to force the issue with my next questions. "Why can't you be around a homo like him? Why does it hurt you to be around him? I'll hold the spiders for 1 minute so you can think."
He took his time and came up with the best answer he could think of. "Because he made me feel what I don't want to feel alright?!" his mind struggled to continued his answer so the spider strike again. He was out of breath I floated near him. There were tears in his eyes as he force himself to whisper what he had always kept bury. "I didn't want to near a homo like myself."
I put my hand to wipe his tears away and he shook my hand away. "I'm not like you people," he said. "Everything I know has told me being gay is wrong! I can't allow myself to be like you people."
"I don't think I need to tell you this but you are one of us people! Just because you can't accept yourself, you had to go and spread your suffering to your brother and Keith. All this time that you build up this wall of lies to hide your true self, was it worth it?"
"Yes!" he yelled at me. The spiders bit hard this time and his body slumped. I could tell he was trying to make himself believe that lie and the spiders bit into him again. He hanged on the vines deep in physical and emotional pain. I decided to dissipate the spiders and let him give the answer of his own free will. Finally, he spoke up, "No, none of it was worth it. I hate those meatheads I hang around with. Every time they made a gay joke, I felt like I got punched in the stomach. I hated myself more for hurting Keith. But once the lies were told, there was no going back. I had to just lie to myself and bury the fact that I am gay as deep as possible. Every time I see Keith, all my emotion rose to the surface. I had to beat it back into the dept of my being and Keith ended up as the victim. Everyday that I see him, I went home and bang my head against the wall. I pray to god to cure me of this feeling but it never does go away."
I release the vines and laid his weak body next to me on the couch. He buried his face into my chest and let his silence tears flow. Here is this big, strong, 6'2, good looking man who seem so unbreakable had finally broken down. When the tears ebbed, the hard shell armor fell away to reveal this little boy struggling to find and accept himself. He held on to me tightly and said, "Please don't tell anyone about what I told you here. It would destroy me! I'm...I'm not ready for the world to know. I will do anything as long as this secret remains between us."
I knew full well of everything he had done and he deserve to suffer a lot more than what I had inflicted. But things are different now. Next to me wasn't the arrogant bully but a lost child. I wanted to give him the chance he never gave himself.
"I'll make you a deal," I said. "You saw me use my powers today and I know your big secrets. How about we keep these things as our secrets? And since I do need someone to talk to about my secret and you need someone to confide in. How about we agree to confide in each other from now on?"
He just nodded his head while still buried in my chest. He held on to me for the next hour before we had to leave and go home.
