Chapter 48 Suppressed
After they finished eating Adora got up and Eliza stretched off.
"I am going to call it a night, good night guys," Adora said as she walked away, but Yola grabbed her arm and turned to face him.
"I am going to ask you one more time, Adora, are you okay?' he asked, concerned.
"I'm fine, relax, you should get some rest, we'll probably arrive by midday tomorrow," she replied before he let her go.
"What exactly is it, bro?" Eliza questioned.
"Something is bothering her, whatever it is, it's serious, and the chill in the air was caused by her," he replied.
"I sense anger from the chill," Alix said, and Yola smiled at him.
"Perhaps she's just upset about something, no need to worry, good night guys," he replied before they all got up and went to their respective rooms.
"Damn it, I'm getting angrier by the minute," Adora said as she looked into her room's mirror, and her eyes began to glow orange as a dark matter formed around her body and a shadow appeared in the mirror.
"I cannot come out unless you allow me to, but I am here for you," the voice from the shadow said.
"You are angry about the fact that you can't tell exactly what you saw killing your mother that night, and you are also angry about not being able to find the person attempting to harm those close to you; you simply need to cool down." 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
"I know you're right, but what if what killed my mother has something to do with what's going on now?" She inquired as Alix passed by her room and overheard her speaking.
"Your highness," he addressed her, and she sighed.
"It's your new pet," said the shadow.
'What is it, Alix?' she inquired.
"Are you all right?" he questioned.
"If anyone else asks me that question, I'll break something for them," she replied, scowling.
"You certainly have a bad temper at times, okay, good night," he said, and she smiled.
"Good night, Alix," she replied and he went to his room, which was next to hers.
"Here I am thinking I am the odd one out for having a shadow smirk at me, she is insane," Alix thought as he took off his clothes and went to freshen up.
While Alix was bathing, his body began to emit a red aura, which Adora detected.
"What the hell is that menacing aura?" she wondered.
"It's coming from the boy, he's not normal, I've told you that many times, I think awakening his powers might not be such a good thing right now," the shadow said before disappearing, leaving Adora to sigh.
"What is it now?" Alix wondered aloud as his eyes glowed bright red and he began hearing screams that caused his head to ache so much that he fell onto his knees on the bathroom floor as his nails grew longer and he squeezed his arms using it, attempting to suppress his powers.
"I'm not sure about my powers; if I let them out and something bad happens, it'll be my fault," he mumbled as the floor beneath him began to vibrate.
"What in the world is he doing?" Adora asked as she felt the floor beneath her feet vibrate, causing the train to shake and disturbing the others.
"Is the track bad?" Yola wondered aloud as he exited his room, and Adora noticed him at the same time.
"Damn you, Alix, you're going to get me in a lot of trouble, which I don't mind," she thought.
"Sorry about that, bad track," she apologized, and Yola sighed.
"I see, well, I guess I'll go back to sleep," he replied before returning to his room.
"Now what the hell are you doing?" she barged into Alix's room, and he heard her.
"Princess," he exclaimed.
"Are you naked, Alix?' she inquired.
"Ugh... Of course, I am, damn it, one minute," he said as he forced himself to stand up, then grabbed the towel and wrapped it around himself, then hit the wall with his palm causing the wall to crack by accident.
"Can you suppress this?" he asked as he walked out, and she gasped.
"Is it that bad?" he asked as she looked at the red menacing glow on his body then his nails and his eyes, which were changing colors by the minute.
"What in the world are you? take a seat," she said as she was about to touch him when the glow burned her fingers.
"Damn it," she exclaimed, and he looked at her with concern.
"Are you okay?" he asked while she looked at his bleeding arm.
"Your powers are too strong to be suppressed by pain, idiot; don't try that again unless you want to kill yourself," she said.
"I really need to learn control," he said as her hands glowed blue and she rested her palm on his back.
"Did it burn?" he questioned.
"Are you concerned because this is the first?" He scoffed as her eyes glowed, forming a green snake within, and the same snake wrapped around his body using her aura"You formed a snake with your aura, it's nice," he said and she smiled.
"This is going to hurt," she warned, and he closed his eyes as the snake squeezed his body and her entire body glowed bright red while stretching onto his, causing him to clutch the bed tightly in pain.
"Damn it, it's hard to keep his power under control," she thought.
"Can you assist me here I don't want to use too much of my strength?" she thought as a flame surrounded her glow and the shadow appeared behind her, Alix gasped as he sensed a darkness coming from the girl but said nothing and a snake marking appeared on his back before both of them returned to normal and he fell to the floor feeling weak.
"Get up," she said as he fixed his gaze on her.
"What's within you?" he inquired with her eyes widening and her hands shivering.
