Chapter 17

Read it on Fanfiction too

Summary: It has been three weeks since he’d hit the road, when Steven is invited to a party. Once there, he meets a lady that needs a hand.

From then on, he is dragged into a chaotic night when he learns three things:

One, his powers are still growing;

Two, drinking is no fun when you have to drive;

And three… there is people out there weirder than him.

Why did nobody told him ‘being human’ was so difficult?

Excerpt:

Killer, who just a moment ago was making honor to his name, had been reduced to a trembling bony creature. Steven, despite his own fear, didn't move from his spot.

The man lifted the rifle to Steven's face. "Move out or be moved boy."

Steven scoffed, completely dumbfounded. "Are you insane? It's just a dog!"

"I said move!" the man screamed, and it was clear his threat was serious.

At this point, Steven was tired of this back-and-forth. He was angrier than he was scared, and he'd no intention of letting the dog go.

"Ok. I'll move." Steven blinked once and released his aura. His hue changed, as the room was filled with pink light.

Wow, its been AGES since i posted a chapter from this fic here. But i felt like it, since there's just one chapter left.

I don't know if anybody here reads it, but i just wanted to let you guys know.

Chapter 3

Summary: It has been three weeks since he'd hit the road, when Steven is invited to a party. Once there, he meets a lady that needs a hand.

From then on, he is dragged into a chaotic night when he learns three things:

One, his powers are still growing;

Two, drinking is no fun when you have to drive;

And three... there is people out there weirder than him.

Why did nobody told him 'being human' was so difficult?

Excerpt:

He wandered around for a while, stopping only to take pictures with his phone. The lights around the trees, the pinball machines; he even got bold and jumped on top of the climbing bars —by a subtle use of his levitation—, to get the whole clearing in frame.

His hand stopped over the button. The sheer beauty of the place left him speechless. It just hit Steven what was happening there. This camp had been left abandoned, but it have been taken over and remade into something new. Something sparkly and alive.

The sudden glee made a sharp turn into sourness. Once again he found himself thinking of Beach City. The gems, his dad. Connie… Her face on their last meeting in New York was fresh in Steven's mind. She'd been so happy about him making this trip. Everyone at home was. If only they knew…

Chapter 3 is ready! I dont really know if anyone here reads it, but i’ll keep posting it anyway.

Chapter 11

Summary: It has been three weeks since he’d hit the road, when Steven is invited to a party. Once there, he meets a lady that needs a hand.

From then on, he is dragged into a chaotic night when he learns three things:

One, his powers are still growing;

Two, drinking is no fun when you have to drive;

And three… there is people out there weirder than him.

Why did nobody told him ‘being human’ was so difficult?

Excerpt:

Once, at his dad's insistence, Steven had given it a try to black and white movies. Specially the funny ones, with Chaplin; the ones where sometimes they speeded things up and the characters would walk and talk super fast. It was funny. Steven had ended up binge watching three hours of comedy silent films.

Steven felt like he was in those movies, with everything that happened. Rain and Peeps in a screaming match with Lowe. The Sheriff's rifle loud boom as it was fired up. The bullet landing at Steven's feet. Steven's body reacting to the sudden stress, turning him pink. He, yelling at the finally, Soledad letting go of him and running to Rain's side. It was so fast and loud he could hardly process it. It wasn't funny at all.

Now everything was quiet. The rational corner of Steven's mental ring couldn't decide if it was anger or fear he was feeling. Meanwhile, the irrational corner was shrugging and saying… 'Does it really matter?' Because as long as his primal-self was concerned, all that mattered was self-preservation.

"Steven?" Soledad asked, breaking the silence. She peeked her head from behind Rain's shoulder —even thought she was taller than the other woman. Soledad's aura was a whirlwind of emotions; curiosity, confusion, alienation, fear. Fear of him. Soledad was scared of him. They all where.

New chapter folks!... Actually, is more like an old chapter. I posted this last week but forgot to mention it here.

Sorry!

Anyway, we've reached the climax of PART 2, so dont miss it. And don't miss whats about to come, because its HEAVY!

Chapter 10

Summary: It has been three weeks since he’d hit the road, when Steven is invited to a party. Once there, he meets a lady that needs a hand.

From then on, he is dragged into a chaotic night when he learns three things:

One, his powers are still growing;

And three… there is people out there weirder than him.

Why did nobody told him ‘being human’ was so difficult?

Excerpt:

He drove a few minutes alongside the river bank when two walking figures appeared distance. It was the kids, andthey were alright. Not unharmed, judging by the scarlet reflection over their bodies, but they were not in the half-dead state Lowe had hoped to find them.

Lowe's bad mood didn't last long. This was better. MUCH better. Now he didn't have to be nice Officer Lowe, ready to save the innocents. He could be Sheriff Lowe, off to chase and catch any wrongdoers. And these two were criminals, if Lowe had ever seen one.

As the adrenaline from the chase came back to him, Sheriff Lowe speeded up to corner the suspects, not even bothering to turn on the siren. He stopped the car at a safe 6 feet distance and reached for his standard officer pistol. But his hand stopped and instead went for his standard officer rifle in the passenger's side.

He kick-opened the Cadillac door and jumped out, arm pointing onward. For the first time in a while, he felt like himself again. Sheriff James Lowe. The Law. And in a burst of pride he shouted at the delinquents:

"Police! Put your hands in the air, now!"

Not much to say here, excepto sorry for the delay. Life's been difficult, but i won't give up on this fic!

Excerpt:

"What happened? Mine's head is spinning," she asked.

"Yeah, we did some of that," said Steven with barely a smile. "We went off road and felt down the hill. I think we bounced a few times. But we're alright, and that's what matters." Steven tried to sound reassuring, but he could sense the anxiety on his voice.

"And Lowe?"

"We lost him at the bifur… when the road split in two."

"Right… When I told you to go left."

"Yes."

"And you went right."

"…Yes."

The air inside the car became electrified. If it was because of Soledad's growing aura of anger, or the 'guilty of manslaughter' glare she was giving him, Steven wasn't sure.

"Would it help if I said I'm sorry?" Steven tried.

Chapter 4

Read it too on Fanfiction

Summary: It has been three weeks since he’d hit the road, when Steven is invited to a party. Once there, he meets a lady that needs a hand.

From then on, he is dragged into a chaotic night when he learns three things

:One, his powers are still growing;

Two, drinking is no fun when you have to drive;

And three… there is people out there weirder than him.

Why did nobody told him ‘being human’ was so difficult?

Excerpt:

"So where are you staying, Steven? Need a place to crash? Cause the hostel has space," said Rain, obviously intended to book Steven at her place and charge him the night.

Which was respectable, but Steven already had a place to sleep in.

"'Sleep-tight Motel', outside Jacobsville," he said, in a tone that implied that it was a shame he couldn't stay. "It's just for the night, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"So soon?" asked Soledad.

"I'm supposed to be in Richmond by tomorrow. Then I'm heading to Virginia Beach and-"

"Yeah yeah, you have a whole plan ahead. I get it. And it's a good plan, ifyouareintoplanning," said Soledad, mumbling at the end. "I was just hoping, maybe, you would want to come here by lunch tomorrow?"

Soledad showed her hands, as if apologizing before hand. "Only ff you want, obvy! You could have one of Rain's sfijas, and we could hang a little more. It could be fun." Her face turned sour, and so did her voice. "So long as the Sheriff doesn't close us down."

Steven's attention was dragged from the realms of dizziness. "What's wrong with the Sheriff?"

Chapter 4 is here! I know these first few chapters were slow, but next chapter have some BIG bombs happening. The one after that, even more so.
