THE UNION novel Chapter 27

In China, a very young boy is running away after he managed to escape a fire outbreak, the cloth he was wearing was burnt by fire and he didn't even bother to look at the road, he ran with full speed until a car hits him and he knocks down.

The boy slowly opens his eyes and finds different people of about the same age looking at him, he quickly gets up and they all get scared running from him, a man then walks up to him.

"Boy, where do you live?" The man asked.

"There was a a fire outbreak........... I saw all my family die.......... With my own eyes but I escaped." The boy gently talks.

"Don't worry, you'll find a home soon." The man says softly and walks away. The young boy gets up from the chair he was sitting on and walks around, everyone around him seemed to have had their friends except one kid who was standing alone.

"Are you new?" The boy asked the other kid standing.

"No, I'm Ben. What about you." Ben asked.

"I'm Chong, what is this place?" Chong asked and breathes out deeply.

"I hope you're a Supernatural, the man owns this place will take us to a adoptive center or a event where we have to showcase our powers and someone takes us home." Ben says swiftly.

"My powers aren't really that good." Chong says sadly.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get a home soon." Ben says.

Months passed and event after event Chong wasn't picked, it didn't really matter to him cause Ben was still around, till one day Chong wakes up and Ben wasn't sleeping beside him as usual.

"Ben?" Chong says and looks around.

"Ben left early this morning, I can't keep on keeping you while new batches come. If you're not picked by next month then I have to let you go." The man says and walks away.

A month later, Chong has been picked by Papa and after awhile of processing his papers and all. Papa takes Chong home.

"Come on." Papa says as he leads Chong inside. Chong looks around and wasn't still feeling comfortable mainly because Papa hadn't really said anything to him.

"Does any other person live here?" Chong asked.

"No, how long can you keep people hidden?" Papa asked swiftly.

"I don't really use my powers...... but let's say... Ten minutes." Chong voice shakens.

"You're going to need to work on that, we're going try to extend it to hours then days and maybe permanently." Papa says.

"I don't think I can do that." Chong says confused looking at his arm.

"I wasn't asking, you're going to do it." Papa says and walks away, Chong sits on a chair wondering if he made a good choice to come here, Papa sounded so nice when he wanted to claim him but now he just looks like someone that wants to end his life.

Years passed and Chong spent days training with his powers, he'll constantly stay in his room meditating and as he grew older his powers were getting stronger day by day, his powers grew and finally did it. He hid Papa from the world as he was told. One particular day, Papa takes him to a forest far away from the city and in the middle of the forest is three different cabins.

"Why are we here?" Chong asked, he was scared of Papa, he had seen this man do terrible things

"You'll see." Papa says and they both enter the house, Mashee'a comes out of a room and rushes to hug her husband.

"Honey! I've missed you." Mashee'a says.

"Me too, this is Chong and he was the one I told you about." Papa says and drags Chong closer to Mashee'a.

"So you're going to keep me hidden from the world?" Mashee'a asked.

"Yeah.......... I don't.........." Papa quickly interrupts Chong who doesn't know what's going on.

"Why don't you make tea for us dear?" Papa swiftly says, Mashee'a nods and runs off to the kitchen.

"You have a wife? I'm keeping you hidden permanently, I don't think I can do that for another person, it doesn't work like that." Chong begs.

"You will do it, you'll try." Papa says quietly.

"I will die." Chong says as tears filled his eyes.

"You won't, I have a friend who can help you." Papa says and walks away, Chong knew he was in trouble and he was living with a psychopath, different thoughts filled his head. He planned to escape.

Years passed, Chong followed Papa's command and hid Mashee'a from the world too, Chong also did different jobs to gain funds, he had a private account that no one knew about and always kept money in it waiting for it to be enough for him to start a new life somewhere far away from Papa. One day after Chong left for work, Papa who didn't know when he left was looking for him around the house.
