Chapter 6 : Echoes of the past

  " IDIOT "

  "You are a IDIOT "

  I screamed while hitting my head to the wall in the hope that tears will start coming out of my eyes eventually.

  But they didn't.

  I am feeling something that makes me want to cry but for some reason I can't cry .

  It's not a new thing , I feel this way every single night around the same time .

  But I thought today might be different because Clive guided me and I finally opened up to him but it looks like healing takes some time.

  " Even though Clive guided you, you can't walk that path , are you really that retarded ?"

  I sat down on the couch feeling bad .

  "Clive told me I should start a hobby but what should I do ? "

  And after some thought I decided to go with painting .

  And I swear to god it was the worst painting I had ever seen in my Life.

  After that I went to sleep.

  " And why are you telling me all this ?"Marie asked .

  " Because .... Clive called you, me and others here but hasn't arrived yet and I need to be honest more frequently."

  " Shut your bitch ass up man, I am bored. Do something fun "

  Mark looked around and saw nobody near him.

  " Look down, dumbass "

  And he looked down and saw a crocodile below him speaking.

  " Why are you in your animal form? "

  " I was feeling very hot "

  " So? " Marie asked.

  " So, in this form I can change my body temperature, so I don't feel hot "

  " That's cool, man "

  " And why are you on all fours when you can walk on two? "

  Marie looked at me for a second and looked at him again.

  " Yeah, he asked a very good question. I want to know too now "

  " So actually, as you can see my legs are short now. They are the size of crocodiles, and I can't walk on two with small legs "

  And suddenly Marie started laughing.

  " But you can grow your legs and look like a humanoid crocodile. Though you look stupid and always make others laugh "

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  " That's the reason I didn't. I look stupid. And also ...

  I want to scare people. Just imagine you are a normal person walking and boom , you see a crocodile walking towards you. You will scream in fear and kids might shit their pants too .

  Ahh, just imagining it feels so good."

  " What? Kid's shit? "

  " No, their look of fear. dumbass "

  " Dumbass"

  Both Marie and croc stare at each other and finally croc admitted he is a dumbass.

  " Where is Clive ? " Mark asked .

  " Let's go to his home and surprise him "

  Everyone agreed instantly.

  While they were going , they saw Clive waking in front of them as if he was stalking someone .

  " You guys shut up now and just take photos of him stalking . I will tell his girlfriend that he was stalking me ."

  Marie's grin appeared on her face.

  And she walks to Clive and blocks his vision from behind with her hands.

  " Whooooo is it ? " She said it as if she was singing .

  " Uhm , Mona ? " Clive replied .

  " Wrong . Your punishment is to tell me who you are stalking. "

  " Oh ! Me ? I am stalking a fine looking lady . I am thinking of bringing her to my place "

  Marie peeks through the corner and saw James with his wife .

  " You sick bastard . Thinking of your friend's wife in this way " she cried.

  " Man , I am the biggest scum of this planet so leave me alone and let me stalk ."

  " But you invited us . "

  " Wait for a few minutes and I will be there "

  And Marie leaves him and someone blocks his vision again.

  " Whooooo is it ? " Mark asked in sweet voice.

  " Uhm , Mona ? " Clive replied in sweet voice .

  " No "

  " Then who ? "

  " YOUR END "

  Clive removes the hands from his eyes and both of them look in each other's eyes.

  " Are you in 12th grade ? " Clive asked kindly .

  " No "

  And Mark leaves him too .

  " Whooooo is it ? " Croc said in sweet voice while covering Clive's eyes.

  " Is it Mona ? " Clive replies in child like voice .

  " No , you are wrong "

  " Oh ,no. " Clive continued the child like voice .

  " For punishment , lower your pants my boy. "

  Clive removes the hands from his eyes and both of them look at each other blinking awkwardly .

  " That's gay man , a responsible adult shouldn't do things like these " both of them said it simultaneously.

  " I know you love me but don't copy me " both of them said in sync again.

  " Stop it " they said in sync again.

  " If you do it again , you will have to give me a kiss " only Clive said it this time.

  Both of them look at each other with a fake smile .

  " That's gay man , a responsible adult shouldn't do things like these " both of them said it simultaneously.

  Without saying another word , croc leaves Clive alone .

  And all three of them went back to their previous spot and sat .

  Marie looks at croc.

  " You are in semi human form now ? "

  " Had to transform so I could mess with Clive ."

  Marie notices a person stealing croc's purse from his shirt .

  " Guys, he is at it again ."

  Croc grabs that thief and lifts him in air .

  " Help me croc , lend me some money ."

  " And why do you need it again, Gary?" Croc asked him while putting him down .

  "Cuz I lost everything gambling again"

  Gary said it as it was the obvious thing .

  Croc gives him the money .

  " I want it back with interest."

  Gary looks at croc .

  " Dumbass "

  Both of them started arguing and suddenly Mark screamed .

  " When did you get here ? "

  A lady was sitting beside all of them , reading a novel .

  " Yo "

  " Don't yo us . Why do you use your powers to sneak on us ? "

  " Um ... Because it's funny to see your reaction ." She said with a smile

  " My queen Diana , will you accept me as your humble servant? " Mark said while sitting on his knees .

  She started laughing.

  " You are a grown ass man. Get up and stop embarrassing us. "

  Marie kicked Mark as she said this .

  And Mark fell on the ground.

  " Someone help me . My legs have gone numb and I can't get up "

  Suddenly an invisible hand grabbed Mark's hand and helped him in standing .

  Mark looked at Diana and she winked .

  Seeing this mark blushed a little and averted his eyes and he saw it .

  He saw something he can never forget .

  He saw Gary on croc's shoulders laughing and playing .

  Gary is 27 years old and croc is 25 years old .

  " Ok everyone, enough chit chat , let's go to the headquarters. Everyone is waiting " Clive said from a distance while clapping.

  And they walked to the headquarters which was a few miles away from them .

  The headquarter was in their view now and in front of its gate , they saw a man standing.

  a naked man standing.

  a naked man with a bucket on his head standing.

  Clive and that person locked eyes and started walking to each other and stood still.

  Finally the bucket man broke the silence .

  "Who's a good boy ?"

  "Me , me , I am a good boy. " Clive responded while jumping.

  "Clive, we do get that he is your favorite superhero and also your mentor but still don't do that in front of everyone " I ( Mark) said because I was embarrassed seeing him.

  " So, what bought you here?" Bucket man said with a smile on his face.

  "Do I need a reason to come here ?" Clive said with love in his eyes towards Bucket man .

  "Stop it , you both are acting very gay ." Marie shouted .

  " sorry , sorry ." Clive said while laughing and everyone else started laughing as well .

  croc jumped onto Bucket man's biceps .

  " Gimme a ride "

  "Fuckoff that's my spot " Clive shouted .

  The laughter only kept on getting louder and suddenly it was silence .

  My eyes opened and I saw Marie healing me even though she has lost an arm .

  my eyes rolled away from her and I saw Bucket man's punch hitting Clive.

  "STOP IT . PLEASE " Dianna screamed.

  but the punches didn't stop and both of them kept on screaming .

  " Don't worry everyone . I am still the strongest " Bucket man screamed as he opened his world projection .

  "NOT TODAY...." Clive screamed as he opened his world projection instantly and both of them clashed resulting in no projection and now all the energy surrounding them was gone.

  Finally, it will be over now.

  I thought with a sense of relief.

  " Flash step "

  these words broke the silence, and everyone's sight were fixated on one person now.

  CLIVE.

  And just below him was James's ready with hi

  s uppercut.

  The uppercut was clean and fast . In a blink of eye, Clive was no longer there .

  " Clive , why did you curse my wife " James said with guilt in his voice .

  A drop of rain fell on me and suddenly it started raining a lot .

  A rain which was Crimson in color .
