16 Chapter 16 Bitch Slapped To Death

To him, there is no way that Jake would also have one when he is clearly living out in the woods instead of living it up in society.

'These two are so screwed...' they all thought.

'These guys are so screwed...' thought Taylor as she remembered how easily he crushed those wolves...

Jake looked at the group of people and grinned. There was no way that they knew what they were about to get themselves into.

The man looked at Jake's grin and knew that he was getting mocked. His face turned red and with an angry growl, he stuck his hand out towards them, shooting frost at Jake, encasing him in ice up to his neck.

Laughing, the man said, "Not as tough as he seemed. This is the power of an S ranked ability! Soon, your body's core temperature will drop and all of your organs will shut down, one after another. I bet you don't know my name but I like to let those who oppose me know my name in their final moments. My name is Zac Taylor." (A/N: thank you NebulaDemon for the bio!)

As if waiting for an invisible audience to applaud him, he turned back towards his group who were yawning. With a look at them, one guy, the one who was talking to Zac earlier, shouted out, "Yeah he's Zac Taylor! He's had 3 small countries try to recruit him to their special forces! He is one of... a lot of S ranked supers!"

With the awkward praises, Zac put his hand in his face and turned back towards Jake. He then noticed that both Jake and Taylor were not panicking at all. Jake even had a smile on his face while he watched the play being performed before him and Taylor just sat down next on the ground where she slept.

Angry at their lack of fear towards him, he puts his hands a few inches apart and begins to channel his power. A light blue light forms in his hands and eventually it is molded into what appears to be a crude ice spear. It was small, about a foot long and had the width of 2 inches.

Having it hover above his hand, he looked back at Jake who's body was still encased in ice with his face exposed. Zac looked at Jake and was thinking to himself, 'This is your chance to finally kill someone, to start your goals. With just the flick of my wrist, I can send this ice spear into his head. With that I can capture Taylor and collect the bounty on her head.'

He summoned up his courage and with a fierce look on his face, he flicked the ice spear at Jake's exposed head.

Taylor did not expect Zac to actually try to kill Jake. She tried to stand up to stop the spear but it was too late. Both Zac and Taylor close their eyes as the spear hit him.

All that was running through her head was that Jake didn't deserve to get pulled into her problems, that he was innocent and only tried to help her. A tear rolled down her cheek as she never felt so weak before and was ashamed that she could not do anymore to save him.

The sound of ice shattering was something that none of them expected to hear. Those in the group behind Zac saw that as the spear made contact with Jake's nose, it actually shattered.

'How is that possible? He isn't human!' Was running through everyone's minds that saw it.

"Holy fuck!" Said the one guy who "enthusiastically" praised Zac.

Jake smiled and looked at the crying but smiling Taylor and realized that that tear was for him. She was worried about his safety. 'Just like her...' he thought as he flexed a little, breaking the ice that held him in place.

He then slapped Zac in the face, knocking him out and then looked at the others.

"Oh shit! He just got bitch slapped to death!"

They all froze for a second before all running in opposite directions. Jacob didn't follow them and instead turned to the unconscious Zac. He grabbed a nearby tree vine and tied him up.

After doing that, he looked at Taylor and said to her simply, "Explain."

She looked down at the ground and then looked back at him saying, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. You shouldn't have been drawn into my family's problems but now they are sure to tell them what happened here."

Jake stopped her and asked her while he looked down at her, a frown on his face, "Who are 'They'?"

She gathered her self and then proceeded to say, "They are my family. You see, my brother has proven to be a very successful young business leader, but I was still chosen to take over my uncle's business. My uncle owns a large oil refining company that is based in the Alaska. I never wanted to run his company but he always tried to involve me or get me involved in the company. My parents though, were unsupportive of his decision to make me take over. They wanted to use my brother so they could run the company through him. They wanted a puppet to control, not someone they couldn't."

"So they tried to kill you?" Jake asked as he remembers what happened between him and his parents.

"I actually found out thanks to my ability developing. I accidentally read their thoughts and heard them thinking about killing me. After a while those thoughts became thoughts of when and how I was going to be assassinated. So I ran away after evading the attempt to kill me in my sleep." At this point she was fully breaking down as tears ran down her face like how water cuts through a river bed.

He sighed and then did something that surprised even himself. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
