Chapter 6

Shawn hurried to the door while making sure he wasn't seen, he continued to follow the dust like substance that seem to be lead him to where he needed to go.

As he managed to get out the building, he searched his surroundings before safely diving out the door into nearby bushes.

"What is this stuff?" He questioned while touching the ash like substances.

He saw a even longer trail, and cautiously followed behind it.

"So you were the one tailing us?" A couple of men in suites smirked while picking Shawn up by his shirt.

"I don't want to stay here" he stated blatantly.

The two men chortled with laughter, before they could see Shawn attack coming, their bodies plummeted to the ground  in their own pool of blood.

His hair was drenched in the color red as he continued on.

When he got to the end of the trail, he could finally notice, each time he walk pass it, the substance disappeared.

"I see.." he stated as he finally caught up to the men, that had the aloof boy.

As he managed to see through trees, and other places, to see what was going on he noticed the boy sitting against a tree in pure boredom.

He noticed the ashes near him disappear, and stood up.

The boy was no longer bound, and smiling while searching through the trees.

The tall black man came into view, Shawn decided to stay hidden which meant stay safe in his book.

"I know you're here, my dust disappeared, come out we mean you no harm!" He shouted while continuing searching.

" Ken, leave it let the child be" the black man stated while sitting him down.

"But he followed meaning he's capable, and alone" the aloof boy stated while staring at the black man.

Trying to get closer, Shawn rustled some bushes mistakenly and internally sighed.

He turned to look back at the two, who seem to vanish.

"Where did they go?" He questioned.

"There you are! " The boy stated excitedly.

Shawn hair, reacted quickly from being surprised.

Attacking both the kid and the black man almost immediately.

"Woah!" He muttered while backing away and dodging.

A field of sand shot out as he made impact with the other boy arm.

While the man with darker features, dodged using nothing but his keen instincts.

"Kenneth are you okay!?" The man shouted while jumping back.

" Yeah!"

" What's going on?" Shawn questioned before passing out.

" Quick catch him dad!" Kenneth shouted.

Shawn eyes closed completely after the last sentence he heard.

Sudden images of his older brother, mother, and father danced happily in his mind. But all good things must come to an end. And he soon woke up.

"You're awake?" Kenneth muttered while handing him a bottle of water.

His features were sharp, he had brown short hair, with narrow, brown eyes that had a coldness to them.

His voice was soothing as he spoke, held a tone of gentleness, yet sternness.

"My head hurts" Shawn groaned.

"I didn't think you'd actually make it out of the place by yourself" Kenneth started chuckling as he sat in the chair.

The door to the room  shawn was in opened, and the black man from before came in with some food.

"Here you go" the man ushered for the boy named Kenneth to move, and quickly took his place.

"Eat this, it'll help" he hurried.

"I'm not hungry" Shawn spoke in a low untrusting tone.

"dad you're scaring him!" Kenneth shouted while taking the soup from him.

"Move you brute, I'll show you how it's done!" He stated while taking the bowl from him.

Shawn watched as Kenneth retook his place in the chair, just as Shawn  thought he was about to be force fed , Shawn watched as kenneth picked up the spoon and started eating the food himself.

"Yeah, that's showing me, take the food and eat it yourself, that's how you feed a starving kid" he stated in a mock tone.

Shawn watched as he ate the food, and his stomach started to become noisy from the smell, and image of it.

"Sa-save me some please" Shawn mumbled in embarrassment.

"Here, I know what they did to you, that's why I offered you food when you sat at the table, I was in the next room when that man was hitting you" he stated while placing the soup onto Shawn's lap.

"That was also some months back, you had it rough in the place" he sighed.

"My name is Kenneth, I can create sand which is how I guided you to me, this is my dad, his ability isn't that flashy, he have heightened instincts which allows him to react faster than others"

"my name is Terry, and no he isn't adopted he's my real biological son" Terry reassured him.

"I have to ask, is it true you mu..."he was cut off before he continue the question

" No!" He shouted while dropping the soup onto the floor, his body bolted out of the bed before they could even react.

Shawn ran down the corridor, running as fast as his body could carry him.

"Everyone is the same, no one will believe me!" He thought in his head.

" What in the hell were you about to ask!?" His father questioned in a scolding tone.

"If he murdered his parents" he sighed as continued running down the corridor.

"Wait... murdered!?"

"Please, not now dad!"
