The next morning Shawna woke up excited to see if she's gotten her gift or not. She touched her alarm clock anxiously waiting for it to turn invisible.
"Mmmmmm"
Twenty seconds of holding the clock, Shawna began to doubt The One's words about giving her a gift. "Was I played?" Shawna wondered. She threw the clock to the ground upsettingly and that's when it vanished into thin air. The clock turned invisible and hit the ground soundly. "Yesssss, it worked, it worked, it worked" Shawna said happily. She couldn't control her excitement so she accidentally made her bed invisible too.
"Now I just need to know the limitations to this ability" Shawna said with a grin.
The act of smiling without Terry being around her is something she hasn't experienced in a long time. "It is still possible I see" Shawna sighed. She spent a whole hour in her room trying to understand her invisibility. She wasted no time learning her limitations.
"I must touch something with my right hand for more than thirty seconds in order to turn it invisible. Once they turned invisible there's no seeing them but for some reason my instincts know where the objects are when they vanish. I can turn myself invisible as long as i hold my breath". She kept on practicing her gift on clothes, the alarm clock and even her phone. She can only hold her breath for thirty seconds, which means that’s the only time she has to be invisible. One second later she can either lose consciousness or be visible again.
She also learned that objects turn visible again when touched by her left hand, not her right. In the middle of playing with her new powers, she also learned a trick that can bypass her thirty second time limit on being invisible. She can make her clothes blend in with her surroundings it is the perfect camouflage. She could still be felt while wearing these clothes but it will be near impossible for her to be seen, the only problem is her face. A easy solution is to wear a mask and a hat. This way she can be invisible but not intangible for a long period.
“Shawna! Time for work!!”.
Her mother sounds very close, she was most likely walking towards Shawna’s door. Moving swiftly as possible, Shawna touched all invisible objects with her left hand. Returning them to normal as a result. When her mom entered she was seen reading a book.
“Hope you didn’t forget. You have training today” her mother reminded.
“I’m ready, I just need to know the location”.
“It’s on the table downstairs. Be sure to get stronger from these lessons. I don’t like wasting money” her mother said before leaving. One week ago Ethan complained about Shawna’s injuries to mom and dad. She usually comes home with bruises on her face which makes him worried. Since their mother was a natural born fighter, she is disgusted by the fact that Shawna was getting beaten up daily. “This simply cannot do. Better get stronger ya hear!” she shouted those words at her daughter before signing her up to a martial arts dojo.
Today on a Saturday, will be her first class in self defense. Sadly, Shawna had to pause her practice with her gift and attend a dojo against her will. Around 9 am she arrived at the dojo expecting to be one of the first to arrive. As soon as she entered, the shouts of men echoed in the room.
“HAI! HAI!! HAII”
To Shawna’s surprise, the dojo was already filled with people. Her first instinct was to exit the dojo after assessing most of the guy’s faces. They all exhibits the attitude of attacking the weak, those are the last people Shawna would want to train with. The master of the dojo was not in sight either so she swiftly took her leave before anyone acknowledged her.
“I’ll visit here some other time. At least I’m not in the house anymore”.
...
Walking aimlessly on the street sparked an idea in Shawna’s head. The idea of hurting those who gives her pain, what else could she had felt other than joy. "I can't wait any longer. I got this gift, it's time to use it". After putting on a lot of makeup and dyed her hair green she felt ready for her revenge. She changed into proper clothes and left the nearby changing room.
"Out for blood”. Believe or not but Shawna always had the intent of killing even before she attained the sudden power of invisibility. Not a day goes by where she does not fantasize about harming others. First she thought of it as blowing off steam ,ensuring that her imagination stays an imagination. However things are different now, the fantasies she imagined are now seen as blueprints to her future actions. Shawna’s ways to kill, ways to harm, ways to break a person mentally.
Since it was the weekend, only teachers and boys of the soccer team were currently at school. Most of the players on the team are Shawna's classmates and they always picked on her during class.
"Hey Miss Emi let Shawna answer this one!"
"Sir, I think we should let Shawna answer that! She needs to exercise her brain more!"
"Come one Shawna, step up your game or else we'll continue to take set on you"
Shawna kept on repeating words that her classmates told her to feel as little guilt as possible for what she's about to do. A target must have been on the girl’s back because they all enjoyed ganging on her. And because of the students high status, teachers and even policeman find it hard to say anything to them. She watched the players out on the field practicing their passes and dribbling. The captain of the team Mark Hughes noticed Shawna from the sidelines. He whispered something to his teammates after seeing her watching from the bench.
Shawna could see the smirk and grins on the player’s faces when Mark whispered to them. "I know where this is going" . She went to the boy's changing room in advance and laid multiple traps there before the boys finished practice. “Lovely, I am already finished”.
She headed back on the bench so that they wouldn't have any trouble finding her. When the boys finished practicing for the day most of them immediately walked up to Shawna. The wide grin on the boys faces only enforced Shawna’s desire to kill them. "What's up Shawna. You look smoking hot right now".
"You may be a stank but we have to admit, we know why Xavier takes a liking to you" another boy said. As soon as they mentioned Xavier's name shivers went through Shawna's body. Remembering all the horrible things Xavier has done to her is a traumatic experience.
"Please don't bring him up".
"What brings you here then?" Mark asked curiously.
Shawna blushed and turned her face away from the boys. "I wanted to see if you deserve a reward for your hard work". Slightly lifting her skirt for the boys to see, she managed to seduce all of them with zero difficulty. She is new to this kind of thing so it felt force but teenage boys are perverted. Her attempt will undoubtedly work on them. The boys nodded simultaneously and dragged Shawna into the boy's changing room. On their way to the bathroom, they made sure that teachers did not see Shawna for obvious reasons.
Once they all entered the restroom, the boys pushed her on one of the chairs and began stripping. Shawna played innocent and screamed "No! Not all of you at once". She ran at the back of the room where the showers were and the boys gave chase. When Shawna met a dead end a wide grin appeared on her face that puzzled the boys.
"What's so funny? We're about to have our way with you" Mark said strongly. They slowly walked up to her while Shawna maintained her annoying grin. "Yes, this feeling. It's unmatched! It's about to happen" Shawna blurted with her face getting red. Hiding her expression too late, some of the boys began to wonder. Mark, the captain of the soccer team briefly considered this as a trap. “I feel scared” he said. An intense negative feeling was oozing from the cornered girl. Malice, that’s the only thing he could thought of when seeing Shawna’s winning expression. She covered her face as the boys walked closer to their deaths. Some of them stepped on an invisible thread across the room and it triggered something unexpected. In result of the threads being pulled, something sailed at the boys at an alarming speed. Without warning the boys got stabbed by knives mainly in their heads and throats. The knives were invisible so all they could see were their blood splattering all over the room.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Their scream of pain and agony was music to Shawna's ears. When they scream it reminds her of when she used to scream. "It is so sweet to give back" Shawna smiled. Eyes gouged out, throats pierced, there were no survivors. The boys all died from blood loss or shock.
The boys screamed quickly reached the coach's ears. By time the coach went to the changing room to see what happened Shawna was long gone. She made sure to touch the trap with her left hand turning everything visible again before she left. "Oh my! That felt great" Shawna thought to herself. She never imagine taking a life would feel so natural. "Finally they are gone. There's no reason for pity, Terry's gone too”.
She jumped over the gates and headed home all while holding her breath.. When Shawna arrived home she was confronted by her father and mother. They were surprised to see Shawna's wild appearance. "Where were you young lady? Judging from your makeup and time arriving home, you didn’t go to the dojo I instructed. Want me to beat you up as your training instead!?” Shawna bowed and accepted her punishment willingly. "They are my parents. I can't do anything about them for now. Soon they will regret their actions towards me" Shawna sighed at the thought.
Shawna's step father didn't give a damn for her disappearance but her mother was different. She went for her boxing gloves and punched her daughter into oblivion. As Shawna withstood all of her mother's packed punches she was reminded of that time Xavier treated her like this.
"Xavier! You are by far the one I want the most!"
When Shawna's beating was over, her mother told her that she'd grounded for a week. Shawna gave little attention to her mother's words and immediately went to her room and began plotting for Xavier. "This Gift was given to me for a reason. I won't waste it".
Meanwhile The One was watching Shawna from a distance. "As expected. She changed drastically when power has been handed to her. Typical human behavior. I expected her to pull some pranks on her first day but she went ahead and killed 15 boys. She's fallen quite deep". She went beyond The One’s expectations.
