Connor blinked rapidly
"H-how did my eyes do that"
He inspected his eyes closer, they looked perfectly fine
Vvvvvvhhh his phone vibrated
"Oh shit I'm gonna be late for school"
Connor began shoving his books into his bag, along with his lunch
He then reached for his EMF reader
Wiiiinnne
Connor's hand jolted back from the sudden sound assaulting his ears
"What the fuck?"
He reaches for it once a again powering through the sound to turn it off
"Why is it doing that? it should only detect magnetic fields and ghosts"
"Did it break from the high voltage of that cable yesterday"
He packed the EMF reader into his bag planning to fix it while he was at school
Like usual Connor started his walk to school but he couldn't stop thinking about what happened yesterday, He also thought about when his eyes changed
How did it happen? Was he seeing things?
He approached the front gate and once again Oliver was waiting for him
"Why are you so early?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're not here for another ten minutes usually"
Oliver pointed to the clock displayed on his phone
The sound of static filled Connors ears just like before
Oliver's phone began to glitch, His torch would flick on and off, the screens brightness would randomly dim and brighten, the volume slider was stuck at its maximum setting despite the phone no playing any sound
"Nah, what the fuck is this"
Oliver fiddled with his phone attempting to change back the messed up settings
Then it's just stopped
"Hey oliver"
"Yeah what is it?"
"Are my eyes red?"
"What have you been smoking??"
Oliver chuckled
"What, no you know i've never touched anything like that"
"Hmm, well did you get pink eye again"
"NO!"
"-And what do you mean again?!"
Oliver laughs at connor
"I'm just fucking with you, your eyes are fine"
Oliver starts to walk towards the school with Connor trailing slightly behind
Connor pulls out his phone and open his camera
His eyes are red and blue once again
What the hell is going on? He thought
During Connors breaks he attempted to fix his EMF reader, but at a closer inspection there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, there wasn't even any damage to the circuitry
he started to think about why couldn't Oliver see his eyes change, none of it made sense to him
RIING
It was time for Connors final class, Math, Connor would normally zone out in math and this time was no different
Connor blankly stared at the digital white board
The Static returned, It seemed no one else could hear it
Connor began to zone out further, The white board shifts and flickers, as people in the class began to notice it stopped and returned to normal
"Umm what the fuck"
Connor muttered whilst chewing on the end of his pen
He began to zone out once more
A humanoid figure appearing to be made of electricity phased through the wall where the whiteboard was
It appeared no one else could see it other than Connor
beeep
The muffled EMF reader could be heard inside Connors bag
The figure walked around the room, the lights flickered
"What the hell" said one student
"Oh my god, its a ghost" another replied jokingly"
It continued walking around the room, sparks flying off its body, It wandered around the classroom glancing at Connor's classmates
It eventually made its way in front of Connors desk, It blankly stared at Connor with its featureless face, Connor continued to write notes into his book
Connor raises his hand
"Hey, miss can i go to the toilet"
"Yeah sure Connor"
He stood up with no acknowledgement to the electric monster standing in front of him
He opened the door and stepped outside, clicking the door shut
Connor breathed a sigh of relief
Connor stepped away from the classroom door
WHHHIIIIIIRRRRR
He could hear the sound of an electrical coil speeding up coming from inside the classroom
The creature let out an echoed screech that had the power of a lightning bolt
The creature came bursting through the door, enraged by Connors departure
Connor immediately started to run for his life down the hall
The creature chased after him, the sparks flying off of it became more frequent
What is that thing?
If it was a ghost, it would probably be a spirit, hence uts ability to phase through walls but when did ghosts look like that, the only thing that resembles a person is its shape
He continued to run attempting to lose the ghost around the halls, up ahead he saw a storage
He checked behind him, he seemed to have lost the spirit, he ran like his life depended on it towards the storage cupboards door
It was a small cramped space, inside was filled with old TVs the school had refused to throw away, old cables and general electrical supplies
The dark space coupled with the electrical gear made Connor think about the abandoned house, how he was wrapped in those cables, and all the pain came flowing through him
He could hear the electric sizzle of the spirit on the other side of the door
KSHHHHHH
The static came back, The old TVs had turned on despite the lack of power outlets in the room
The electrical spirit began to walk through the door, it slowly approached Connor, the light bulbs flickered in its presence and began to burn as bright as the sun
It reached out to Connor attempting to grab his face
Connor pushed the TV with a
CRASH!!
The spirit became staggered by the impact allowing Connor to run around it and through the door
The spirit lunged at Connor once again
SHING!
A red and blue scythe had appeared in his hand, Shielding himself from the electrified hands of the spirit
He pushes it back creating distance between the two, The perfect range for a scythe
With it held high then swung downwards with all his strength
SLICE, CRASH ZZZZZ
The spirit had caught the scythe by its blade, allowing its electrical charge to flow through the scythe and into Connors body
It surged through him just like it had done before, his hands gripping the scythe tightly only forcing him to endure it for slightly Longer
As the scythe disappeared out of both of their hands freeing Connor from being subjected to that torturous experience once more
"This day has been full of surprises"
Connor panted with quick breaths from exhaustion
"Lets try going about this from another angle"
He reached his arm behind his head, the scythe materialised once again while he swung it done, the spirit now unable to catch it
SLICE
The curved blade carved through the electrons causing an electrical field to form, the spirits particles began to rise and bunch together towards the tip of the scythe
Connor began to swing his scythe to shake them off dispersing the particle into the air to where they couldn't form back together
Connor collapsed to the ground, smoke coming off of his shoulders, the scythe fading away and disappearing and his eyes reverting to their dark brown colour
"What is going on?"
Connor felt tired, this whole day was so exhausting
"AAh! I have to go back to class"
He got back up onto his feet with a slight stumble, and slowly walked his way back to the classroom
Connor slumped back into his chair and let out a drawn out Sigh
The muffled wines of the EMF reader could be heard again from his bag
Just great… Can't it just shut up already
Wait.. Could I be triggering the EMF? Is what's happening with my eyes connected with it, just before that ghost triggered it, but this morning i also did
Connor recalled to when Oliver showed him his phone, He opened his bag and positioned his phone so only he could see it, he stared intently at its screen
His eyes shifted, his eyes fragmented into the red and blue segments, he drew his focus to his phone, a small trail appeared as if someone was touching it where ever he thought of it to move it obeyed
Slowly number by number he managed to type his whole password without laying a finger on his phone, not even once
So i can control technology with my mind
He sat there frozen, he couldn't believe what was happening to him, first the cables then the electrical spirit
WAIT
Connor directed his attention to the whiteboard
"Okay just open the calendar, try not to make it suspicious"
The cursor slowly moves with a slight jitter towards the bottom right of the screen
The calendar windows pops up on the screen
So i can just control technology with my thoughts
Wait, back there at the abandoned house did i really die, did that have something to do with this
RIIING
Connor was snapped back to reality, he jumped at the sudden loud noise knocking over his bag
Thud
He quickly picked it up and zipped it closed again after making sure his phone was still inside, he then turned and walked out of the classroom
A girl from Connors class was about to leave when she notices something of his on the floor, she walked over and picked it up
It was a black box with 5 multi coloured LEDs
As she held it, it began to beep with a high pitch frequency
"Oh my god, what is this thing?"
She covered her right ear, and pressed a button on the side of the device, the beeping stopped
"At least there's an off switch, i should try and catch up to Connor to give this back to him"
She places the EMF reader inside her pocket and runs out of the classroom to attempt to catch up to Connor
