Rifts: Why Choosen Ones are my enemy?
Chapter 23: Destined Enemy
Some time ago.
Elizabeth asked Lily to do some work— she wanted to erase every detail related to those girls.
And Lily did as she said.
Lily erased all data about those eight girls, including CCTV footage.
Not only online.
Also, physical avoidance which is erased by a principle.
Then Elizabeth also made the principal disappear.
Even if they start looking for girls, they won’t find out— who is hiding them and their families.
By time, when will someone know anything about them? It would be already too late.
She also asked Lily to send a small message to officials, so they can save students on time.
Now, they all want to know how things will go after this supertaural event.
Victor sat quietly on the single couch. While, Elizabeth stood behind Victor, gently rubbing a soft towel through his wet hair.
Liza sat on a big couch in front of a tv, changing the news channels, remote in her hand.
Victor already told her about how he got his transparent status screen.
After knowing, like always three ladies overreacted but after they checked he wasn’t hurt, they let him free.
Victor also told them his plan to make a guild. Well, he’s not about hero work or actively going to protect the world or something.
It’s just for their own safety, having some friends with superpowers felt like a great choice.
Afterall, no one knows how many portals are gonna appear in the future and bring unknown dangerous alien life forms.
Since he doesn’t have any idea about the future, sticking together with superpower people appeared the best choice to him.
His mother moved away after drying his hair, Victor opened his blue ocean- like eyes, and asked glancing at Liza. " Are they showing on the news channel?"
"Not yet, and if the government decides to cover this up, we won’t see it on TV at all." Liza replied, then hearing footsteps she glanced toward her left.
Alice walked out from the kitchen, carrying a tray loaded with four glasses.
She placed the tray on the table, in front of Liza and picked a one glass of chocolate shake and handed it over to Victor."Thank you, Sister Alice," He said with a happy smile.
Alice ruffled his soft hairs. "Hahaha, My well mannered, Sweety."
Liza picked her own chocolate shake and said after taking a sip. "Just pretendIng to get more delicacies."
"I don’t need to pretend anything, hum!." Victor said and began to drink.
Alice took the third glass and sat next to Liza.
She sipped strawberry milk shake. "I also want super ability," She muttered to herself, but it’s clear she’s telling them."
Elizabeth while walking to them heard her.
"I can send someone to catch those creatures. But you have to kill it." Elizabeth said as she sat next to Alice and took a last glass of strawberry shake. "
"No," Alice shook her head. "I want that orb!."
Elizabeth sighed. "I already asked Lily to look for things like that, but it will take time or maybe we will never find it."
"Why didn’t you guys bring me with you?" Alice Champlain. if they had brought her with them to victor school, maybe she had gained superpowers too.
"You’re the one who said, I’m busy with..."
"You guys can insist."
"You’re being childish." Elizabeth give final words before ignoring her.
Liza laughed at their argument.
"Sister Alice, I want more." Victor said, placing empty glass on the table.
"um, Sure sweety," Alice stood up. " Hump!," and pouted at Elizabeth before walking to the kitchen.
Elizabeth looked at her sister who’s grinning.
"What’re you laughing, sis? It’s all your fault." Elizabeth grumbled."If you didn’t tell her I broke the orb, she wouldn’t be blaming me."
"Well, I only tell the truth." Liza said, throwing the remote aside and picking her novel.
"Half truth, orb was useless since it lost its shine." Elizabeth knows her sister is just messing with them for some kind of fun.
Liza shrugged. " How do you know? we didn’t test it."
"I just know.." Elizabeth said, knowing herself it was stupid thing to do.
Alice came back carrying a Jug. Walking to Victor and Liza she filled their glass.
Then placed Jug on the table, she picked a remote from her seat and she sat back on her spot.
Elizabeth felt her phone vibrate in her hand. She swiped the screen.
While, Victor glanced at his status screen.
************
[NEET INDIVIDUAL STATUS]
□ Individual Level – 1
□ Name – Victor
□ Race – Human
□ Ability – Freeze(lv1)
□ – Eyes of destiny(lv1)
—
□Special Trait– Reincarnator.
● Mentally Unstable
************
Other than the annoying last part, the status is OKay, simple and easy to understand.
Last part clearly, lying.
Why didn’t it show that? Victor thought, then shrugged it off, he wasn’t going to use that anyway.
He gained two abilities. Freeze and Eye of Destiny.’
Eye of destiny, he already saw what it looked like. It was activated in the school, its own, when that boy walked to them saying that orb was his.
This skill is a golden status screen which showed him that boy’s name, Varun, name of his ability dragenoid, special trait, heavenly chosen one and the last part destined enemy.
He is still thinking how he got a destined enemy for no reason.
Did I kill his lover or something in my last life? No, I didn’t kill anyone, maybe in the future?
Anyway, unlike his first one, his second skill is very simple; it can freeze anyone for 5 seconds, not in ice, it’s like freezing time.
This ability works on both a single target or group.
Limitation: he must know who the target is— well, if a person is standing in front of him, then skill will work.
But, after using it once, it goes on a cooldown period for 15 minutes and it only works below divine beings.
He had no idea what divine beings are. Maybe a god, or some old guys from a cultivator world, who reached a higher realm or something, well it’s not impossible after all he knows different worlds exist.
Anyway he was not on their level, so let’s think on ground level.
The heavenly chosen one, was he dangerous? He thought about that boy. Would he have to kill him? neh!, he wasn’t psycho, how can he murder an innocent boy just because some unknown screen labeled him as his destined enemy?
But, aren’t chosen ones like the protagonist of the story and their enemies are villains?
And, what if he is dangerous to my family?
He gazes at three ladies drinking with straws, while doing different things, Liza reading a novel.
His mother was scrolling through her mobile phone, Alice also glancing at his mother’s phone .
"Sister Liza, what’s a destined enemy?." He asked.
"A character." Liza replied, slowly, unbothered Without looking up from her novel,
"No!, I have destined enemie... My ability told me that," Victor said, placing an empty glass on the table. "That guy in the school, who was asking for orb. Is my destiny enemy?."
Liza raise brows. "Your, Eyes of destiny, ability?’’
"Yeah," he nodded.
Victor really wasn’t sure what to do? He doesn’t want to harm strangers for no reason. But even if he tried he is afraid that Heaven might do something.
But, he also doesn’t want to leave him alone either, he can’t risk it even a little, he has so many things to lose, he really doesn’t want anything to go bad.
Elizabeth stood up from her seat and after walking to him, bent down and hugged him, with a single glance she can tell her baby angel is scared of something.
"My baby Angle, you should have told me earlier. If something is worrying you, I would have already taken care of it."
Then she cupped his face with her palms. "Now, tell Ma’ma everything."
Victor nodded. " Hm."
Victor told her, when in the school his ability activated its own.
"He’s also a heavenly chosen one." Victor added, little concerned.
"Heaven? a place from myth?" Alice said, with little confused.
Victor shrugged. "I don’t know..., my ability showed, Heaven favors him.., Maybe, he’s lucky like the protagonist in the novels Sister Liza likes to read."
"Hey, that I only readed once! Forget it. Liza shook her head. "Anything else worth mentioning."
Victor thought and said. " He has the ability, named Dragonoid, I don’t know what it’s do. and his name is Varun, I don’t remember his last name.
"Baby you don’t need to remember it." Elizabeth said softly.
"Yeah." Liza moved closer and kissed his cheek. " He is just a young boy like you. Why do you look scared?"
"But, heaven...
"What heaven? Liza gently pinched his cheek. "Wasn’t you also have an ability called Eyes Of Destiny, look how cool and powerful the name is, it’s already told you about the future, so all you need to do is avoid that boy so won’t try to harm you."
Alice just silently listens to them.
"Sis, is right," Elizabeth added ruffling his hair. " There is nothing to worry about."
Then she looked at Alice. " Alice packs your, and my baby angel’s things. We’re moving to a new home."
"Where?"2x
Victor and Alice both asked with surprise and curiosity.
Elizabeth just smiled mysteriously. " It’s a secret"
"No fair!." Both Alice and Victor pouted.
Elizabeth laughed.
"Now, hurry, we are moving the sooner you finish."
Alice grabbed Victor’s wrist. "Tell me sweety what you want to take along."
–
Just as they moved away Elizabeth muttered coldly.
"Sis, should I kill that boy."
