Chapter 135 - Ghost & Silver Clover

Years Ago

The O'Brien's Residence

In Steve's study room, he sat alone, going through a very old book with several markings on it.

His eyes trembled tremendously as he unraveled the secrets, tears filled his eyes, he buried his hands in his face.

He knew what he had to do, if anyone was gonna awaken them, it has to be him, he was the only one that could do it and bring balance to the world, if he doesn't the world will fall into chaos without their awakened existences, the balance must be created with them in it and it broke his heart that his only son was the vessel wielding a divine being.

Why do they have to be cursed to such a fate, why didn't the awakening process happen with Lucas Carter or any of their ancestors in the line, why now? Was it because they were evolving?

He gulps hard. He knew the time was now and he has to do it no matter what he had to do, this was a purpose given to him and he shall see to it so that ghouls can be united by their supreme beings and face the threats to come. He will change the laws of this city and he just knows what to do.

He wiped his tears rising to his feet, his eyes lands on their family picture hung on the wall.

"Forgive me," he said.

What he will do will destroy his family but also secure a future.

Present Day 

Liam roared in pain, holding his head, as he felt like an amount of power awaken in him. His ghoul's eyes beamed a unique gold, the right part of his eye formed a black four-leaf clover symbol looking like a tattoo.

Liam took a harsh breath as the pain subsided.

"My work is complete," Steve said as a tear from his eye, after all these years of work and sacrifices.

"Liam," he said.

Liam slowly raised his head as their gaze met.

"Know this Liam, your awaken shall call forces unlike anything you have ever seen, but both of you shall overcome it, for I believe," he said with tears in his eyes.

"I love you, Liam, I will always will" the tears falling nonstop.

"I'm so sorry for everything".

Liam's eyes widen at his words, as in slow motion Steve let himself fall.

Gasping, Liam came at him, one foot to the ground was all he needed as he zap in a black coat of aura but it was too late.

Liam stood at the edge watching as his dad fall into the flames, mouthing the words 'I'm sorry' once again as the flames consumed him.

Beneath Steel

Jesse and the others watch in horror as a being, unlike anything they are ever seen emerge out of Riley's back. 

It was a Claw, white in color, just the same height as Ghost and just as deadly, as she emerges out of Riley, covered in white bandages, extended arms, and legs, face covered like a mummy, eyes covered also but her mouth exposed revealing sharp deadly fangs and canines.

"FIRE!" Jesse shouts as they opened fire.

"Silver!" Riley hissed.

It was the trigger as Silver roared, a long silver rod forged on her hand with one sway, it caused destruction.

***

Liam watch the burning flames as Ghost emerge out of him, he gave a deep growl turning to a silent Liam, Ghost's smile fades.

Liam turned on his heels walking out, his expression dark and cold.

"Ghost!" he hissed as Ghost zapped back inside his body, his body erupting in black shadow.

***

Riley walked along the destroyed hall, her body glowing in white aura, Silver walking beside her.

Agents attacked but none could lay a finger on her, as silver attacked roaring.

Riley halts her steps as her eyes land on Liam a few distances away from her.

Their eyes locking on each other, not looking away even for a second.

Riley stood still as Liam walked towards her in slow motion, the aura around their bodies becoming harsher, a mixture of black and white as they mixed in harmony.

Silver reversed back in her, as Liam stood right in front of her. Their ghoul eyes still locked on each other.

And then their lips smashed together in a deep fierce kiss making the aura around them wilder and fierce. Their lips roaming each other like it was made and destined for each other, so passionate and mouth-watering.

Liam placed a hand on her waist pulling her more close to his body as he deepen the kiss, their mouths assessing each other like a battle wave of dominance that could never end, Liam dominating her very existence with the hot kiss that went on never-ending.

The wild aura around them subsides back inside them, calmer and in control, the tattoo at their eyes retreating, then Riley pulled away with a gasp, staring deep into her eyes.

"There's something I have to tell you" she began with tears in her eyes.

"Riley what's wrong?" he demands ready to inflict disaster on whoever hurt her, be would hunt anyone to the ends of the earth if anyone laid a finger on her.

Riley gasps at the name he called her, he must have found out, but there was a more pressing matter right now. 

"I was-"

*Sounds of Chains* 

They turned correspondingly at the sound, as a figure emerge from the darkness, each footstep made a sound of chains shaking.

A boy around the age of 13 emerge out, he had dark red hair, and paled skin, he wore a white cloth stained with blood, his feet and hands had chains on it like he broke free of them.

He halts his steps raising his head as his brown eyes land on them.

"I'm told both of you are my parents," he said in a lifeless voice.

"What a joke..." he adds in an inhuman double voice as just his right eyes changed to that of a ghoul, black veins clustered around.
