We Need More Power Novels & Stories

Harley said, like she was just realizing it was only the two of us again. "We don't need more hands, we need more powers,” I corrected her, still walking around the room. “You understand what I mean, we don't have any powers, and if we need to take down your brother, we need those powers,” She said, and I could see fear in her eyes. She was scared we weren't up to the task, but we were. “I do, and I have a new member of the team who is ready to give us the power we need to dominate," I said, still smiling. Harley looked at me, confused; although she knew I had a plan, I always have a plan.

I needed power…I would not go down without a fight. "NO!!!"

"We're going to market, everyone. Let's see how much power we can buy." (End of Chapter 159)

"Yeah?" "We’re going to have to change the laws," she said, her voice tired but firm. "Not just for now. For forever. We need to make sure that no one ever has that much power again. I don't want there to be a need for another King-Killer in a hundred years." "We will," he promised. "We’ll build something that lasts because it’s fair, not because people are afraid."

"You want toy. The toy is far away. You can make a toy come to you. Can use power. Can shift reality. But should you?" Baby Hope looked at the toy across the room. Looked at Dawn. Thought about the question. "Want toy," she said simply. "Yes. You want toy. But wanting is not needing. Desire is not a requirement. You can get a toy without power. Can walk to the toy. Can ask for help. Can wait until someone brings a toy. Using power for small wants makes power normal. Makes power expected. Makes power something you do without thinking. That is dangerous. That is how accidents happen. That is how nightmares become real without intending to make them real."

Power creates division. I lifted my hand slightly. Silver light spread from my fingertips and flowed into the damaged structures around us. Not aggressively. Not forcefully. But gently. The throne authority responded to my intention. Broken pillars reconstructed themselves. Cracked walls sealed. Burned ground regenerated slowly. The restoration was not perfect but it stabilized the territory. Gasps spread among the observers. The uncle watched carefully. “You are using power for repair instead of destruction.” I replied calmly. “If I want people to trust authority” “They must see it to protect , not dominate.”

Another man from the group chimed in with a bland tone. After pondering for a moment, Fane decided that he wanted to get some information out of the other party’s mouth. “Hmm... Since you all think that today will be my last day, can you let me die with understanding? For example: Tell me which powerhouses of America do you guys belong to? How strong is it, and how many people are in it? After all, I’m an incredibly curious person.” “Haha! Let me tell you then, kiddo. The powerhouse behind us is unbelievably strong, powerful, and with high authority. Anyway, it’s a power that you can’t afford to offend at all.”

The room fell silent and Shana's smile faded. “I have no idea. I don’t know if we will have enough time to build your power that quickly...” My shoulders slumped. “But, with my help, the elders, all three of your packs and Oliver’s shifters, we may have enough people and power to kill bitch and her brothers.”

"I think I need you to help me control myself and my powers better." I don't know how.

“Once we’ve settled that, we should just work on enclosing ourselves within this oasis. So that we don’t have to be so dependent on the natural daylight to get shit done.” “Running electricity requires energy. We don’t have the manpower to mine for power sources or maintain it like they did back at the old base.” Hamilton pointed out. “There must be a way...” Elias mumbled with a deep frown still present on his face. Angie wondered in passing if a frown might one day be permanently etched there. She caused him a lot of worry after all. The impulse to smoothen out and lift his frown hit Angie and she spoke to distract herself, “I guess we need to think of something we have in abundance here.”
