The Trap

Everything had run smoothly and as I had predicted. Now just to escape myself and... My thoughts were interrupted by a scream for help. I looked back and saw Rain fighting off some of the guards with her powers. I flew back over and blasted the rest from the sky before landing beside her.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

She nodded, "Did you find my mother?"

"Yes, they took her and left already," I frowned. "Come on let's go."

"Just a minute I'm tired you know," She said.

I insisted, "We can't rest here they'll be more. I think Alex has teamed up with..."

"Indeed I have Jared," Alex was smirking at me from down the alley. "Your time is up."

A surge of energy pulsed through me and I lost control and couldn't even see or have any connection to the outside world. I decided to meditate.

"Alright," Alex announced. "Here's your proof I want to work with you." Alex tossed, with his powers, the metal suit that was Jared at them. "Now do you trust me?"

"Not quite," The man said. "Swear to give up your powers once each and every one has been tracked down."

"I swear to give up my powers once there are no more magic users roaming unabated," Alex said, straightforwardly. "The rest of you do the same."

His followers did the same for him.
