Not a second had passed, when I felt like a hole was being drilled in my skull. Indescribable pain seared my entire body and it wasn't long before I realized, the only thing I needed in order to use my powers, was my thinking capability, and I couldn't use it and not because of the pain, it was something else, something more powerful... And that power was being held by the man in front of me....
And like a dreadful mind game I wasn't aware of anything else besides the nothingness surrounding me, not a single thing, not a single sound, just nothing; I wasn't aware of time or my own existence, just trapped inside.
Were my eyes open or closed? I couldn't tell.
Then, I could only hear a voice... It was Haaziq.
-This is what Susan felt when you almost destroyed her a few minutes ago. How does it feel being in her place?-Haaziq said with hatred and a daring tone coming through his voice.-And how does it feel not being able to think or move, not knowing how much time has passed, if its even day or night, has it been hours, days, weeks, months or even years, not make a single thing by yourself?.-He ended as if trying to provoke me.
I tried to answer but not a single word came through my mouth, I tried to look down to see my body but there was nothing I could see, not even a head I could move. Was I even real?
-You deserve this, you deserve to die, to be in this miserable place without knowing about your own existence.-His voice sounded like a serpent roaming in the deepest parts of hell, taunting and haunting me at the same time and the worst part is that his voice and what he wanted me to feel or hear was the only thing I was able to.
Everything he said made sense but it wasn't as if I could reason:
I didn't hurt Susana cause I wanted to, it was part of the exercise.
Everything I had done in the past took a dark shape as I wasn't able to think or do, I was just able to feel guilt and disgust and hatred for myself.
Me trying to run from the revolting nightmare I was in, an internal battle with nothing, cause I was nothing, not even my body was there.... Without realizing, the consciousness I had left started to sink inside the darkness, loosing itself inside the dark moments in my life and it was starting to make everything easier, less difficult, without efforts, or suffering, just letting it go, go away as far as possible.
Far,
Far,
FAR...
A last word from Haaziq's poisonous voice was the only thing I could hear in the distance:
-Yes, yes, just loose yourself, there is nothing else to worry about, there is nothing; just submerge inside the deep sea of nothingness...
Sea,
Sea,
Sea....
WATER.
Then...BOOM.
Like a survival instinct, I started to feel something move.
Move?
Yes, move.
It was my head, I had a head.
It was just a moment, a clear moment that made me aware of my existence and what was happening, the illusion created by Haaziq inside my mind and so I quickly remembered what his accidental words made me also aware of:
My natural inner element which always worked no matter how my main powers were being suppressed.
Haaziq started to realize that I wasn't totally under his control and so, as the strong opponent he was, he started to regain control over me again, but something was different this time.. I KNEWI had water on my side...
And MYSELF being part of IT and IT being part of MYSELF, IT always made what was best for both of us...
And so it was, water coming from my hands they went exactly were they supposed...
As I had guessed, Haaziq's power came from him being able to hear his thoughts as well, so the water from my hands went as sharp as needles and found their way to Haaziq's... ears... and they were plugged and as soon as they were... Oh. Hell, I was back.
Finally I wanted, not to fight him as a Wanter, I didn't want to always rely on it.
Cause this time I truly wanted to show him I didn't need my main power to fight him...
What would you do if everything you wanted for you got it in an instant?
Being normal is the only thing I wanted that I’ll never be able to get.
I’ve always known that I wasn’t normal and being like me comes with a price: Never be able to use my powers lightly. But that night, everything changed.
At first I didn’t realize that it was the beginning of a series of events I could’ve never imagined.
And it was all going to be a disaster…
My name is Nathaniel North, I’m a “Wanter” and this is my story…
