Part 1
When you’re struck by lightning, the joules of energy that run through your body can be lethal. With a direct lightning strike, your body becomes part of the main lightning discharge channel. One portion of the current moves along just over the skin, known as a flashover, whereas another portion of the current moves through your body, inflicting unspeakable damage, and sometimes death.
The heat emitted by lightning is 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That is five times hotter than the surface of the sun and, with a direct hit, you suffer heart asystole and respiratory arrest. Both happened to me. My heart stopped for five minutes and I was jolted back to life by the paramedics.When I got struck by lightning, something else happened;while it didn’t hurt at all, it did leave a permanent Lichtenburg figure on me, which never went away. I was a medical mystery. It also awakened something in me that was beyond anyone’s imagination, including my own.My name is Alex Jennings and I was 17 when I died. I can’t begin to describe the immense heat I felt as that lightning bolt went through my body, and when I opened my eyes, smoke was emitted from every pore of my body. I laughed as I opened my eyes, purely because I couldn’t believe I was still alive.It happened during a football game, and I was standing close to the chain link fence when it hit me. Everybody saw it happen, and I became a freak for a completely new reason. Nobody could believe I had survived that, not even the doctors at the hospital I had been transported to.The odd thing about it was that there was no thunderstorm. There were no dark clouds, and the lightning had seemingly come out of nowhere. It was just a single bolt, aimed directly at me, while the sky was blue and clear.Before that day, few people knew my name and I didn’t exactly strike fear into the hearts of my enemies. I was tall but skinny, because I had asthma and my extramural activities consisted mostly of reading and hacking. That was the one thing I was very good at, but nobody knew that. Nobody really knew me.
I lived in Boulder, Montana, with my mother, Thalia. She had been a single mom for as long as I could remember, and I’ve never met my father. He died when my mother was still pregnant with me, but I have photos, and I kind of look like him.I was just your normal, average teenage boy. I was the nerd in the library, the one with no friends, though I rarely got bullied, not physically, at least. I could handle the name calling; it didn’t bother me that much. I liked my solitude. That didn’t last long though, because soon, everybody knew my name.After that day though, my asthma was gone, and I had more energy than I knew what to do with; literally and figuratively. I started going to the gym, and suddenly, I had friends at school. I didn’t sit alone in the library eating my lunch anymore, and because of that, my mom just told me to be careful.My body bulked out, and no matter how much time I spent in the gym, or how hard I pushed myself, I didn’t suffer another asthma attack ever again. My senses were sharper and I felt stronger, almost like I could do anything I wanted.A month later, I was standing outside in our yard as the thunder crackled loudly above me. Thalia was working the nightshift and I could feel the lightning running underneath my skin. It started in my left hand, where my mark was, and I could physically feel it on my fingertips.My mark started at my wrist, covered my entire left arm and ended just below my jawline. It was an intricately designed mark which would darken whenever I felt electricity in the sky. I didn’t tell anyone what I experienced when it rained; I was already a freak.The mark on my arm also darkened when I weighed your soul. I called it that, because I didn’t know how else to describe the things I saw and felt. I could look at a person and know if he or she was good or evil. It was an intense feeling of electricity that told me I had to kill someone; someone evil, someone guilty.In the beginning, I didn’t understand what was happening to me, only that it was something I had at my disposal, something I could use to do good things. I’d never thought of myself as a hero or special, but I would soon find out that being special also put a target on my back.I worked part time at the Riverside Youth Correctional Facility, located just outside the town’s border. I had worked in a small office where I digitized the prison’s records and kept the files updated. It was mainly an after-school job, three hours a day, and that’s where the idea of who I was to become had been born.I understood things better and I felt things. I soon learned to trust those instincts, and they were never wrong. I perfected how I did things, and now I strike fear into the hearts of those who dare mention my name; and I’ll smile as I look down at you, taking your last breath.For me, it was easy. We didn’t have a pack, and Thalia didn’t mind living as a lone wolf. It gave me the freedom to do the things I had to do. Thalia worked long hours at the hospital and honing my skills for what I was to become was crucial.I had no fear and I had no guilt in taking lives. It became second nature to me, it became a part of me, and I became very good at it. But like with everything else in life, it shows you the middle finger because we all make mistakes, even me.So, here is where I start my story, and the path it took me on. I became known as Kifo, the bringer of death, or if you prefer, Hel’s executioner.Bab terbaru
Elding Part 6
The trip was soothing to my soul. I was determined, I had a plan to follow and I’d always liked planning everything. The solitude and the roar of my bike’s engine kept me going. It felt almost exhilarating, knowing that soon I’d have the justice I’d been craving.I arrived in Sonoma just after nine p.m. and I stopped at the first diner I saw. It was partially full and I sat down at a table and called Thalia to tell her that I was still alive and she cried again. I had to hide my chuckle as she sniffed.“I’m just glad you’re alive,” Thalia said.“Why wouldn’t I be alive, Mom?”“You race around on that damn bike. Damn Levi,” she said and I chuckled.“Stop worrying so much. I’m fine and I’m really hungry. I might die of starvation if you keep on crying because I’m not hanging up until you stop,” I said and that earned me a chuckle from her.“Look after yourself and don’t have too much fun if you know what I mean,” she said and my ears reddened.“Now I’m really hanging up on you, crying o

Levi kept his word and so did I. I kept my grades up and I followed his exercise plan which was rigorous. I started jogging ten miles a day. He sent me self-defense videos, videos on assembling firearms, and reading material on psychology.He sent me studies on gunshot residue, fingerprints, and behavioral studies that the FBI used. I had no idea how he’d gotten his hands on that, but I studied it like my life depended on it. Levi pushed me hard but I pushed myself harder.When he was in Boulder, we would go deep into the woods and he would teach me how to fight, how to handle a knife, and he taught me how to shoot. I was a fast learner and I did him one better. I jogged twelve miles a day and I spent about four hours a day practicing alone. He brought me a wooden dummy on one of his visits and after three months, I broke the first one.For my eighteenth birthday, Levi visited us in Boulder and he brought his daughter, Tala, with him. He spoke of her often and by the time I met her, i

I was still 17, and it was about three months after I got struck by lightning. Most people still stared at me or whispered behind my back, and I just didn’t feel up to going through all the motions again. After the second period, I ditched school and went home.I opened the kitchen door and looked at the man leaning against the counter, clearly waiting for the kettle to boil. I had no idea who he was but he was comfortable enough in my house to help himself.“Hello, Alex,” he said.“Who are you?” I asked him. I could smell that he was a wolf. He was barefoot and he only wore a pair of jeans. I couldn’t quite figure out the expression on his face but it felt like he was looking right through me.“I’m Levi, a friend of your mother’s,” he said, as we stared at each other.“More like a friend with benefits,” I said.“Watch your mouth, kid,” he said, and turned around as the kettle finally boiled. He had an interesting Zeta tattoo on his back with the mark of an Alpha. I didn’t recognize i

I had never been confident or cocky, or even really funny, but my personality changed the day I died, and I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. I had a purpose and I would complete it, it was as easy as that. The gun and silencer had been a gift. So was the knife I carried on the inside of my boot. The biggest and most expensive gift I had received was my Kawasaki Ninja H2.As I thought more about what I wanted to do, another thought occurred to me … somehow, I had to make money while doing this. So from that point on, after I had eliminated my targets, I also stole all their money, rerouting it through five different banks, and into an offshore account.My mother was a doctor and she worked long hours. Sometimes I wouldn’t see her for two days in a row. When that happened, I would stop at the hospital, and sometimes, if I was lucky enough to catch her in a non-busy moment, we’d have dinner or lunch in the cafeteria, and other days, when she was busy with patients, I’d leave a message
