But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home...well

He didn’t say a word as Evers stalked away, if anything he was pleased to see the other boy go. He didn’t ever know why he’d stuck with him as long as he had. Perhaps it was everything that was going on, he didn’t need to be making anymore enemies. But since when had that ever stopped him in the first place. A scowl was scrawled across his face as he turned and sauntered in the opposite direction, towards his own home. The burning church could be dealt with by someone else. Besides, it seemed contrived anyways. Mars had just hoofed it in that direction moments prior to the explosion of glass and flames.
His house might take a while to find, it was near the outskirts of town, naturally. His scowl only deepened and he gnawed furiously on his lower lip, a bad habit of his. The streets were fairly bare, although as he walked there were a few happenings. A boy screaming in german at a group of teenagers, a thunderous echoing boom from a dark alleyway. He was careful to skirt around Drew and his team, making sure none of them noticed him as he slid into an alley and slunk to the next street over. For a few brief seconds he paused in the mouth of the alley, unsure of why he was even going home. He had his boot knife on him, it was the only weapon he ever carried or even wanted to carry. Was he going to check on his brother? That was preposterous, he didn’t really care about that little idiot did he?
He shook his head, loosing a small growl under his breath and stepped out of the alley into the sunlight. If the sun didn’t hit him like a brick wall, the fist sure did. A wide arcing right hook that he should’ve seen coming but he wore it straight to the jaw. “What the!?” His voice was a snarl as he cranked his head to glare at his assailant. Except there were three of them. All well muscled, like jocks that hit the gym a little too often. Two of them flanked him, effectively closing him into a circle. “You’ve really picked a fight with the wrong guy,” he warned softly. Sure he was smaller than these guys and they probably had about one hundred pounds on him, but he had more experience than these clowns. At least he hoped so.
“Oh is that right?” His assailant sneered. “I beg to differ. I want everything you’ve got.”
“Aww you want your dignity back?” Adam jeered, a cold smirk playing on his face.
“You little-” the guy lunged sloppily and Adam took a half-step to the right, stick his foot out and sending the guy face-first into the pavement. He felt the incoming punch from the guy behind him and ducked, catching the darker haired boy’s first and flipping him flat onto his back. Too much of a distraction. Gooney number three tackled him, full force and landed on his chest, pinning him. He ducked and weaved his head dodging punches, but the other two were up now and he was in trouble if he didn’t think of something fast. He delivered swift, concise punches to the third’s gut, shoving him away and rolling to his own feet.
The three were bunched in a group, looking at each other nervously and a space of five feet existed between them and Adam.
“C’mon, I’ll let you get a shot in for free,” Adam teased. His blood was boiling with anger now, and his fighting adrenaline had kicked in and hatred clouded his vision.
The first stepped forwards, closing the gap quickly and swinging broadly. Adam ducked and retaliated. What happened next he couldn’t explain. As his fist collided with First’s face it was as though something broke in both of them. An untapped well of rage and hatred in Adam and as his fist made contact he could feel the other boy’s, well there was no other word for it, soul shatter into a million pieces and the guy dropped like a ton of bricks, the light flickering out of his eyes.
The other two boys stared at him wide-eyed, then one of them charged. “Yo he knocked him out cold! Let’s go!” Too late, another clash of fists and this one dropped to the ground lifeless as well. His shadowed eyes darted upwards, watching the receding figure of boy number three, then darted back to the two lifeless bodies in front of him. “I, oh god.” A cold feeling coursed through him and his veins turned to ice. All he’d done was touch them and their souls, their life-force had shattered as easily as a dropped vase. He could kill just by a touch.
“No, no, no. That’s insane, they were just, they’re just unconscious.” But he better than that. Quickly he turned and darted away, sprinting towards his home. In this new world of theirs anything was possible, and now he could kill by his hands coming into contact with someone. Maybe there were boundaries. Maybe he’d have to test it out, but right now, with the adrenaline fading from his body and hatred and exhaustion flowing through him strongly, a nap seemed like the greatest thing in the world.
