forced shut came to discover he still in the arm chair and rubbed a hand on his throat that felt stiff as if gagged. Groaning he got up and went to the clock eyeing it seeing it was around nine o’clock went into the bathroom to shower and came out clad in his pajama pants which he pulled the blankets from his made bed to get inside and yanked them over his head while on his side shut his eyes.
Jinks heard the alarm sound its noises got up from the bed to get dressed and do his hair. He felt his mood foul as he walked out ignoring Gustav which he went to the dining room to sit and waited for his food which arrived. He ate the food with gusto and gulped down the orange juice. He stormed from the dining room to hit the gym room attacking the punching bag feeling his mood angry. He halted his punching as an image of Lance from the waist up with all black eyes and a glare on his father’s face flashed in his mind.
He gave the punching bag a hard punch and then left the room heading towards Victoria’s room which he went inside to the arm chair and yanked items off of it throwing them on the floor which he sat glaring at the open door.
He got an image of Lance followed by his father’s voice speaking in a firm tone “use the Darkness now!”
He felt distaste running through him to imagine a door in his mind looking sinisterly black which he mentally opened by sliding it and stopped imagining it. He felt the middle of his back feeling an itchy feeling that bothered him as the door to the room went open wider. He stood up seeing with confusion a young male appearing to be a teenager around the age of fifteen judging by the looks of him while holding a hand gun aimed at him. He eyed the boy who fired the gun aimed at his chest as he saw something shiny leave the gun heading towards him which he plucked it out of the air and dropped it on the floor. Jinks saw the boy’s eyes flare golden telling him that he was a Builder as the boy spoke in foreign language which he understood the words telling him to freeze up. Jinks found his body balking the order as the boy using a fast speed darted till he was in front of him to put the handgun firing end on his chest. He quickly in a fast speed brought his hands on the gun yanking out the gun cartridge in it and dropping it to the floor while seeing that the boy didn’t appear to notice that. He heard a loud click from the gun and saw the boy’s face turn into panic who darted out of the room in some slow running speed which he followed in a fast speed motion overtaking the boy to block the way. Jinks saw the boy looked shocked before throwing fists at him which he easily blocked remembering his karate. Jinks grabbed the boy by the throat and lifted him up dangling his feet as he brought a fist into the boy’s stomach punching hard as rage arrive taking control. He heard choking noises from the boy as he punched. Jinks felt hands grab his hands freeing the boy and stopping his punching thrusting them behind his back in an ironclad grip. He heard a male voice unfamiliar speaking in foreign language ordering the boy to leave and forget about visiting the building once outside on the sidewalk. He struggled against the hands as the boy darted around him going out of sight. He felt himself forced to turn around by the hands’ owner still gripping him hauling him to the dining room where he saw a female sitting in a chair that flashed golden eyes of a Builder there. He felt himself forced to sit in a chair and freed which he twisted his form to his left to see a man wearing familiar like clothing with short blond hair and a cane in one hand that went to a chair to sit next to the female. Jinks snarled growling an anger as the man spoke in foreign language ordering him to stay seated in the chair.
He felt himself calmer to snarl loudly “who the depths are you two? You should have left my home with that snit.”
He glared at the two who appeared to ignore his words as the male spoke “My name is Barry and this is Tatiana and we’re Builders. That’s all you should know about us.”
He found the compulsion to sit gone stood up to hear Barry add “I didn’t give you permission to get up.”
Jinks swore a comment sounding like the mating word despite confused to why he’s saying it with you at Barry and took off running towards the gym room out of the dining room to the hallway. He arrived at the gym room to find the doors shut which he yanked them open and stared with shock to see Barry inside the room with a glare on the Builder’s face.
He stared at Barry who spoke “Go to the dining room to sit.”
He felt rage charged at Barry full body attack only find himself on the floor on his stomach. He groaned as he realized that Barry stepped aside and tripped him to land on the floor. Jinks rolled on his back and with a karate move swung he up to stand.
He again heard Barry speak “Go to the dining room.”
Jinks folded his arms and spoke the familiar rude mating comment along with saying “Go to the depths!”
He stared at Barry to blink his eyes to find himself gagged on the throat by a hand on it which he saw belonged to the Builder. He struggled against Barry’s ironclad grip using karate motions finding that they had no effect on Barry who forced walked him out of the gym room taking a route to the dining room and forced him to sit in a chair. Jinks felt he getting angry as Barry released his hold on his neck. He snarled out an inhuman cry as rage arrived and struggled to get out of the chair while feeling a hand touching his head. He felt his arms feeling glued to the armrests of the chair as his anger ran through him formed an image of the sinister door and heard Barry’s voice sounding in foreign language ordering him to keep the Darkness in control. He felt his anger simmering stopped struggling to feel the hand off his head which he saw belonged to Barry who went to sit down next to Tatiana.
He whined in a whining tone “What’s your purpose Barry?”
He cut himself off as Barry looked at him with golden eyes and a glare on the Builder’s face. Jinks slouched in the chair as a memory of he younger aged a teenager in high school aged sixteen standing outside a large fence area watching people shoot each other with guns and getting splattered with paint splotches on their jumpsuits. He groaned for his Mom had forbidden him to play paintball felt to himself that he didn’t care for he’s playing anyway. He turned and walked to the racks holding guns and jumpsuits only to be blocked by an older man he remembering was Barry who spoke foreign language in a compelling voice tone recalled the words that the Builder was ordering him to go home. He remembering recalled taking the public bus home to a street which he got off and walked to a quiet street and continued walking till he reached the apartment complex he lived with his Mom. He reached the apartment to see Barry standing on the steps who proceeded to order him to let him inside the apartment with compelling tones in foreign language. Jinks obeyed unlocking the door and walking inside followed by Barry who ordered him to kneel on the rugged floor as Barry walked up to him putting a hand on his head.
He heard Barry repeatedly chant the words “Death cannot touch us we will live forever, live forever.”
Jinks felt a headache arrive to shut his eyes and saw in his mind an image of a windy tornado that broke apart and in its place was a black door that made him think it was sinister dubbed Darkness. Jinks felt Barry remove his hand from his head ordering him to mentally open the door which he obeyed jerking backwards raising his head up gasping loudly as pain hit him in the chest followed by the pain going away. Jinks lowered his head. Barry ordered him to shut the door which he obeyed and was ordered to forget about meeting him who he blinked his eyes to discover Barry gone and went to the desk to do homework till his Mom came home from work.
Jinks blinked his eyes of the memory as another memory popped in his mind of a white hallway him recalling he was walking to a stage to speak a debate with the incumbent Mayor he was challenging for the position. His way got blocked by a man which Jinks remembering recognized him as Barry who spoke in foreign language in a compelling tone ordering him to use the Darkness and to forget meeting him. He blinked his eyes recalling what happened next is he arrived to the stage to a wooden pulpit stand with a microphone attached and knocked aside bullets aimed at him while waving his hands as if gesturing during his talking. He felt
shock running through him as he realized that Barry was in his life introducing him to the Darkness and helping save his life. He frowned as he got a memory of himself at a karate tournament as a black belt fighting opponents in karate as in knocking them off their feet twice and winning the fight. He during a break of fighting recalled meeting Barry who told him to give humility to an opponent while indicating to a fighter by pointing at him. Jinks recalled Barry pointed at Lance Knight nearby fighting an opponent which he watched as if drawn to sense that his son was using his Master Powers to win the fight. He had felt himself realizing what Barry implied to glare at Lance Knight and mentally told himself to use his powers to outwit his son if he met in a fight. Jinks recalling got his opportunity to meet Lance Knight in a fight which he used the Master to block his son’s powers from affecting him and defeated his son who didn’t look happy to lose the fight.
Jinks frowned as the memory stopped playing in his mind to think “I’m wondering what Barry is doing to me?”
Jinks eyed the Builder that was busy reading the Master’s Herald while seeing Tatiana reading
