Alternate Of Chapter 2
As my back landed on the floor below, a grunt left through my mouth as I barely held in the scream which came from the pain that was accompanied because of the blunt force which my spinal cord or backbone experienced. Dudley laughed madly as he scurried away to his room feeling happiness because of successfully teaching the freak(me) his place.
The rough fall was ignored by Petunia the whore, but the senior pig or Vernon just smirked at me feeling pride at his son's deed. I got up with a yelp as a sharp jolt went through my back, but I was kind of used to this, so after making myself steady, I advanced to my cupboard before entering it and closing the door as I lock it for now. Looking around in my small room, I finally found a first aid box that I had stolen from that damned neighbor who once tried to touch me with bad intentions clear in her eyes.
Ok now, many might say I thought wrong or something but as you live with an abusive family, you start to realize the true intentions of people just by their body language at least that's what developed inside me. I opened the box taking some ointments which I applied on my back while looking at my reflection on the broken mirror which was on the far right of my room. Due to the rough fall from that height, my back was purple and green, all bruised up. Thankfully there were no wounds or signs of breakage which I was glad since a breaking of a bone is very painful especially when you gotta fix it yourself at home.
And I am speaking from experience.
Now, I laid on my bed with my backside facing the ceiling since if I slept on my back, it would hurt a lot unless by some miracle it healed within a day, which I hope it does since I have a fast-healing factor far better than anyone in earth since my broken hand was fixed within two days. Maybe my relatives know that I am special, that's why they try to restrict my divine capabilities and call me a freak.
Yes, that must be it.
But the thought of the pushing persisted in my mind as anger flooded me once again, but I knew I couldn't do anything as I was not stronger than them nor did I have the advantage of quantity. I was a boy or a child who had a skin build so there was no way that I could win in a fair battle against them. Keyword: fair battle.
I was not someone who would play fair and so I would have to beat them with deception, of course. But what should I do?
As my mind made plans, and my eyes were steadfast on the ceiling, I grabbed the Rubik's cube and since it was already scrambled, I started to solve without looking and with my eyes open making the visualization much harder to do so. Visualization is quite easy if you have closed your eyes, but it is much more difficult if you try to imagine something with your eyes widened open while other thoughts and plans are going in your mind.
The plan finally assembled itself in my mind as I smiled in happiness, the answer was a gas cylinder.
By leaking the gas from the hose pipe, the house would be filled with the highly compressed and if I use a sparker to generate heat then kaboom, the entire house would be wiped off with the Dursley's inside. But the problem occurs during execution since I need quick fingers along with a dash of luck, to not get caught doing the stupid thing.
And since today, the Dursley family will be leaving to visit the zoo, I can easily leak the gas while escaping from the house and when they return, Vernon will try to turn on the lights or he will light his cigarette which in turn will ignite the gas causing an explosion destroying them three. Yes, my plan was perfect and now I got to execute it with concentration so that no mishap happens causing me to become suspect.
The cops won't even get evidence of my interference since leakage of hose pipe is a common occurrence which happens in many homes so I would be able to get free without becoming the prime suspect of the accident. I wanted to cackle like a mad scientist, but I kept my composure and then the knock came on my door which sounded more like pans repeatedly hitting the wall.
"FREAK OPEN THE DOOR"
The voice belonged to Petunia, and I smirked inwardly since I knew she was probably here to inform me about their family trip to the zoo where probably another animal would be harassed by the demon who put shame to name of the devil, yes, I was indeed talking about Dudley the animal predator.
But these were my presumptions, and to verify it, I opened the door. Petunia had annoyance in her eyes as she clearly looked like she didn’t even want to look at me but was forced to do so.
“I and your uncle along with Dudley are going to the zoo, don’t mess anything in the house or else you will regret it”
These were the basic instructions that I was provided, and I nodded while looking down, maintaining my usual submissive behavior which makes everyone think that I am weak willed and shy, making someone think you are weak gives you many advantages and for today I needed it.
She nodded and left with the family with Dudley just smirking at my downcast face with delight almost like he was relishing in my despair. I let him have this moment since the very next time he enters, he will suffer in fire.
They closed the door, and I was left all alone but then I looked at my Rubik's cube and smiled since it was all solved perfectly, proving my capabilities to myself only.
“Well let’s get to work.”
