Free Minded: Chapter 3
#3 of Free Mind
He jerks awake in front of the mirror. How long was he out? He looks out one of the kitchen windows, still dark. He finds he had collapsed face first. He sits up and rubs his head which is only slightly throbbing at this point. He shakily stands up, climbing to his feet and making his way back upstairs. He needs to find rest and flumps down onto his bed. He stretches out and soon finds himself passing out.
The sign shines through his blinds, he sits up then props himself against the wall that his bed is flush with. He feels dizzy, lightheaded and his eyes are blurry. The after effects from the powers rampaging through him the other night. He stretches and then flops back down on his bed. He did not really feel like getting up to go to school, but he would need to. So he makes his way to the shower, he glances at his Mom and Dad's door, seeing their light is on. He could hear them talking quietly. He shrugs and gathers his towel, slipping into the shower.
After the shower he peeks into the hallway, Parent's light is off. They must be downstairs. He quickly runs to his room and shuts the door. Once in his room he pulls on a fresh pair of jeans, and a white hoodie. He sits down on the edge of his Bed and sighs. He would have to put up with Yenn. He wasn't ready to deal with Yenn just yet. He barely has any idea of what's going on with his head. He huffs a sigh and picks up his school bag and heads downstairs. He drops his bag next to the door and heads over to the kitchen. He nukes himself an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. After eating he picks up his bag and heads out the door to school.
It is a beautiful day out, the sky a clear blue, not a cloud to be seen, the air fresh and with the onset of fall, crisp. He slips out his smart phone to check the time. He has plenty of time to leisurely walk. He looks to his right, passing a chain linked fence with two bunny children playing in the yard. He smiles to himself. He looks at the house, a modern blue single family home. The picture of a perfect life. He comes to a stop as he walks up on a street looking both ways. With the way clear he makes his way across and to the other side, continuing on his way to school.
Once at school he settles in for his first class, home room. The Teacher at the front, a Giraffe in a black suit and tie goes over the current events. Talking about a Halloween dance for the students and a costume party. Tamijah sinks into his seat mind mulling over having to deal with Yenn next period, which is a Math class. He grumbles softly and places his hands on the top of his desk, barely paying attention to what the Teacher has to say. He notices when the Teacher finally sits down after finishing his announcements. Which is when the speaker crackles to life, calling more immediate announcements. Which has to do with upcoming testing the entire school will need to participate in, what events are occurring after school today and other information, ending with the call of certain students to the office for various reasons. Tamijah sits the rest of his class allowing his Anxiety to gnaw at him about Yenn. He was never good with situations pertaining to others and this is the worst ever. He can feel it gnawing at him settling in like a lead weight in the pit of his stomach. It almost makes him feel ill. He is so engrossed in his Anxiety and thoughts that the bell rings catching his attention, signifying the end of the first period. He would go pale if his scales would let him. It is like a death toll to him. A shiver visibly runs through his body and he gets up from his chair, now feeling weak in the legs. Dead Dragon walking. He follows the halls to the room on auto pilot, once getting there he stops in the door way, not seeing Yenn yet. He takes his seat in the back and sinks down. Staring at the door, dreading when Yenn would make his way into the room. Right as the bell rings Yenn scoots into the room, looking around it. He finally spots who he is looking for and manages to find a seat right next to Tamijah. Tamijah ducks his head down and does not look over at Yenn. The teacher, an overweight Beagle is droning on and on about the application of Algebra. Tamijah however is not paying attention to him. He is doing his best to ignore Yenn, as he has not yet had much of a chance to sort things out with the odd occurrences. He tries his best to focus on the teacher, yet he can tell Yenn is staring at him. It makes him feel a wave of anger but he ignores it for the time being, as long as he can until thirty minutes in, and he finally has had enough. He turns to look at Yenn and whispers
"After class we will talk."
Yenn softly nods and finally lets Tamjiah have a bit of peace.
Tamijah turns to pay attention to the teacher, listening to him for the rest of the class. The bell finally rings and Tamijah gets up and leaves the class, with Yenn padding quietly behind him. They find a secluded area where there wasn't much through traffic and sit down on a near bench. Yenn clears his throat while Tamijah sits there quietly. This goes on for a few minutes until Tamijah breaks the silence.
"Look, Yenn. I am sorry that I left so suddenly that night but I needed to get home. I was sick because of the effects of whatever happened that night. But if you had been patient I would have eventually talked to you. But.. your behavior that night I can't excuse."
Tamijah fidgets in his seat a little. Looking at Yenn.
Yenn sighs and nods.
"I am really sorry about that I guess I got a little thirsty after everything. I have been working up the nerve to try and apologize for it but I know I messed up."
Yenn whimpers a little and hangs his head.
Tamijah watches Yenn for a moment then stands up.
"I need some time to think about things and honestly you left me feeling a bit used. I will be in contact."
Tamijah turns on a heel and walks away. Yenn watches Tamijah walk down the hallway. He gets up and sadly walks, ears lowered heading to his next class.
Tamijah reads the door to the next class. One of the science labs. He twists the handle and pushes the door open. He takes up a sear near the door and plunks down it, careful not to sit on his tail. He sets his back pack down and opens it. Removing the books for Biology from the back and setting them on the desk along with his notes and work books. He leans back in his seat and waits for the teacher to arrive. Once she does, a tall thin Wolfess dressed in slacks. She sets her folders down and quickly goes through the paper work. She sorts it out as the Students watch on. Once done she clears her voice and starts her lecture on today's lessons.
As usual her lectures are dry and boring, and Tamijah could not help but allow his mind to wander over current events. He didn't even notice when the bell rang. When it does he stands up and stretches, then snatches his backpack from the side of his desk and makes his way to the hall with the rest of the students.
The rest of the day is pretty uneventful and with the end of day announcements he makes his way home, tired from the day, and the encounter with Yenn. Once home he sets his book bag on the island in the kitchen and unzips it. He notices the corner of a sticky note from under his bag. He lifts up his bag, grabs the note and places the bag back down. He scans over the note and then nods his head. His folks went out on a date for the evening. Dinner, movies and most likely a hotel stay. They were into some weird things. He pulls out tomorrow's homework and gets to work on it. As usual math has the most. He spends most of the evening working on homework until his stomach grumbles loudly. He gets up out of the chair and raids the pantry, finding a box of Mac and Cheese. He prepares it, working on the cheese sauce and boiling the noodles. Once everything was done he mixes it together and sits down down at the table with a spoon and tucks in, savoring every bite.
Tamijah finishes off the last of his Homework for the evening and packs everything back into his Back Pack. He sits back in the chair for a moment, exhaling softly. He closes his eyes for a few moments. He can hear the soft hum of the fridge in the kitchen. The drip... drip... of the water faucet. It never did close all the way. And the wind blowing around the house. Calming, relaxing. He sighs contently and opens his eyes. He sits up slowly, the creak of the wooden chair shifting under his weight. Standing up he grabs the strap of the Back Pack and picks it up. It was heavy, make no mistake. But being his build and the fact that he is a Dragon he lifts it with ease. If it were not for the fact that Tamijah is more a nerd than anything, even in this state he could put human power lifters to shame by a huge margin if he even tried.. He sets the pack next to the door and wanders away from it up the stairs, through the door on the far end of the hall and into his room. It is Friday, and this means that for the next two days he is free from the dregs of school. He huffs softly, knowing there was not a single issue of him staying up all night. He flops down onto his Computer chair and logs into one of the premier MMOS out on the market right now. It's a world that is fully simulated. A player could make a race and a new planet would instantly be populated with them. A single player amongst a world of NPCs. Other players could however join the race if they liked it enough. It is a complex game where billions of things could be happening in just one minute. He spends the rest of the evening playing that game, getting lost in it.
By the time six in the morning rolls around, Tamijah is closing the client and yawning. He gets up and pulls his pants off, he pauses looking down at his hidden cock. He lays on his bed and strokes the entrance of his sheath slowly and firmly, pressing down with just finger tips. He groans as his cock hardens fully with his constant prodding and kneading. He stares at it and concentrates. He causes it to twitch just a little. Slowly he is able to feel it. The waves of energy swirling around him. He is able to unleash energy to manipulate things. He picks up a book at the nightstand of his desk. Then... clumsily sets it down. He looks to his cock again and starts to stroke it with the energy up in down in waves. He groans and loses concentration for a moment. He centers himself and starts the stroking of his cock again. He grits his teeth. Perhaps this would be the best way to train his powers. Otherwise he realizes, he can hurt someone. And straining his concentration in this fashion is the best way. He squeezes his tip with the power and grunts, managing to keep his composure. He then huffs and grabs his cock with his hands and starts to stroke it firmly. He arches his back and curls his toes as he cums thick shots of cum over his stomach. He flops back and falls asleep.
It's saturday when he wakes up. He sits up in his bed all sticky. Peeking his head out the door he looks around to see if his parents are upstairs. He quickly makes his way to the shower. He shuts and locks the door behind him and opens up the shower door. He pulls his shirt off and steps into the shower. His claws clacking on the floor under his feet. He turns on the shower and rests against the shower wall as water pours down his body. The warm water feels good running over him and he closes his eyes.

It was a quick, efficient take over. The group with random animal masks easily takes control of the Village districts. In there, they have all the protection they need and can force the staff there to do things. Call off the police, shut them down. Which they had done. It quickly becomes a rather tense situation that the region's defense force could only end up in a stand still. They had asked for the group's demands. Total hand over of the village to the group. The have named their selves as the Grimlocks.
