Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Ms. Quinn, how about we call it a night? We can pick this back up tomorrow?” The rich kid was at his breaking point. He practically >egged, his voice trembling. “We’re running low on the good stuff anyway. Give me a day, and I’ll go find some top–shelf bottles. What do you say?”

osie glanced at the sky outside.

It was about time.

une should be waking up right about now.

Heh.

Time for the real show to start.

Outside, the early birds were already up and starting their daily grind.

une was up early too, picking out her best outfit.

Today was a big deal. She had a high–profile patient to treat–a real VIP.

Before heading out, she decided to do a quick warm–up with her healing abilities.

She did what she always did: triggered her Plant–type power to scan her body and flush out the morning grogginess.

Then, her heart dropped. She froze in pure horror. Her power wouldn’t trigger. It was dead.

une stared at her hands, wondering if she was still dreaming. How could her power just disappear?

I’m still dreaming. This is just a nightmare,” June muttered, slapping her cheeks hard. “Wake up! Wake up! Come on, wake up!”

The woman sleeping in the room with her was a Terrestrial Super.

She saw June frantically slapping her own face in the mirror and jumped. “Miss June! What the hell are you doing?”

une spun around, eyes wide with panic. “Am I awake? Tell me–is this a dream?”

The Terrestrial super looked at her like she’d lost it. “You’re awake, obviously. What’s wrong with you?”

Your power…” June’s voice trembled. “Is it still there?

The girl didn’t get the question, but she held out her hand. A clump of soil materialized in her palm. “Yeah. Why?”

une nearly collapsed.

How?

Why was she the only one who lost it?

That buzz of energy in her veins was gone. Just… gone. She felt exactly the way she did before she ever awakened.

What the hell was going on?

Oh, it’s nothing. Just a nightmare,” June lied, trying to steady her voice. “I dreamed the Undead overran the base. I’m feeling a bit ick today, so I won’t see you out. Thanks for staying over.”

The girl didn’t think twice. She just nodded. “No worries. I’ll get out of your hair then.”

Okay.”

As soon as the door closed, June tried again. She reached deep, trying to spark the energy in her core.

Nothing. She was completely hollow.

It wasn’t just her powers. Her physical strength was tanking too, falling off a cliff until she was back to being a total Norm.

une was losing it. For real this time.

This was the second time she’d lost her abilities. Why? Why was it only happening to her? No one else ever dealt with this shit.

Why?!

God, show yourself and explain this!

Then, a thought hit her.

She bolted out the door, racing toward her secret stashes.

Her hands were shaking so hard she could barely grip the key.

She forced herself to take a few deep breaths, trying to find the nerve to unlock the door.

The sight inside shattered her instantly.

Everything she’d scraped together–her entire backup hoard–was gone. Again.

Her vision swam as the rage boiled over. A spray of blood burst from her mouth.

Who? Who did this?!” June stood there, screaming like a lunatic. “Show yourself! I’ll kill you! I swear to God, you’re dead!”

Suddenly, another thought flashed in her mind. She spun around and sprinted back.

Right as she did, Josie was leaving the banquet. The two of them ran straight into each other.

une’s eyes were bloodshot, her face twisted in a mask of pure rage. She lunged forward, grabbing Josie by the collar and screaming In her face, “Was it you? Did you do it? Did you steal my stash?”
