Powerless 소설 & 이야기

As I reached for the handle, I froze, remembering that there were three other men in the house. "No, if they catch me now, I’m done for," I whispered, ducking into another room to hide and catch my breath. I looked toward the window, hoping for a way out, but it was barred with metal grills—I couldn't fit through. I looked at my hands, desperate to tap into that power again. I gripped the window frame and shoved with all my might, but nothing happened. "What's going on? Why has the strength faded?" I realized the power was volatile; I couldn't control it. It only surfaced when I was overwhelmed by anger or fear.

Squeezed her eyes shut. Nothing. Not even a flicker. Her chest tightened. “It’s gone…” Kai looked at her, confused. “What do you mean?” “My power,” she whispered. “It’s gone.” She tried one more time. Her hands trembled, but still — nothing. Not a spark. Not a glow. Not even warmth. Just a numb, cold emptiness. Kai stood up, pacing a little. “Maybe it’s just resting. You used a lot of it. Maybe your body’s trying to recover—”

protested a man who looked so wizened that he was practically bent in half over his cane. “I felt it, and I told it what to do, and it responded. My powers are far stronger than they were, and they grow stronger daily. Remember that I can be either a powerful ally, or a foe to be reckoned with. If you try to force my hand again, I won’t hesitate to respond to that threat.”

It was at that moment he knew he was powerless. It was at that moment he had a taste of helplessness. He wanted to go and comfort his mate but it was like his legs were chained to the floor. Jefferson's eyes had become red at this moment but he couldn't cry. He was the strongest so there was no way he would cry. How would the strongest cry? It was a disgrace to their dignity and he was sure of it. But just now he was powerless and he was the only one who knew how it feels to be powerless so he wasn't the strongest anymore.

I could feel the edges of my power flickering beneath my skin, but something was wrong. Why wasn’t it working? Reese wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close, but even his warmth couldn’t comfort me. I was numb. The world was spinning out of control, and I was helpless to stop it. "I’m losing my powers," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Reese tensed beside me. "What do you mean?" "I can feel it," I choked out, my vision blurring with fresh tears. "It’s like they’re slipping away, Reese. I don’t know what’s happening."

How am I so powerful and yet no match for them? I stare into the fire, unable to catch the dredges of sleep, the wheels in my head still turning. Kathleen turns over, her eyes opening. “Can’t sleep?” “Just thinking.” “About what?” “How even I couldn’t face off against the enemy? I have these random bursts of power, but I just feel so helpless.” “You shouldn’t blame yourself.” Kathleen tosses a stick into the fire before turning on her side and looking at me. “You’ve not yet uncovered all your powers. It’s going to take time.”

Kayden yells. The pain behind his voice makes me sob harder. I don’t want this power. I don’t want her life in my hands. What if I don’t figure it out?! W-what if she dies because of me?! I’m at a loss for words, I can get nothing out as Auburon and Kayden both plead for me to speak.

With public support, the Coratos in the squad…the Unions would perish. “What are you waiting for?” he sneered. “Use your magical power to broadcast it if you wish.” I hadn’t felt my powers since the splash. And hearing him suggest I use them, chills ran down my veins. “Of course, you can’t use them anymore,” he laughed. “The liquid wasn’t just to weaken you; it stripped your powers. You are powerless, Jason Corato. You are helpless.” I tried. Nothing. I forced my mind into action. My palms. I shut my eyes…but each struggle only made the Unions laugh.

His eyes danced in the sockets as he says; "What power do you possess?" It sounded queer because I am powerless, can't shape-shift and I am weak. Silence. I knew I'm drawing in my death as my tongue couldn't even twist out a proper answer for him. "Don't let me repeat..." "I have no power" I snapped , hating every second I had to spend with him. He smirks, possibly stunned I cut him off. "Lies" "Why would I lie? I'm useless, that's the only reason why my family will sell me off"

Seghal, “I think… I think my power just healed me… I don’t feel sore any more.” “Well.” Mr. Seghal looked intrigued. “Now that’s interesting.” He stared at me looking as though he was deep in thought. “What else can you do?” The wind was almost knocked out of me after hearing his question. “I… I don’t know. I’ve only used it the day we got here and I don't even know how I did it.”
