The Hidden Secrets

Chapter 6- Andrea's Explanation

-TW: PANIC ATTACK-

Andrea was in shock when she heard those words come out of Finch's mouth, she thought she knew everything about her life, from when she was born to now. Was there something she was missing in her life, something that she was never told? Her mind was in a state of shock. She didn't realize that her breathing was getting heavier, making it harder for her to breath. She dropped to her knees with her hand over her chest, unable to breath. Andrea was having a panic attack. These were normal to Andrea, because of the bullying she faced during school, however this time it was for a different reason. The panic attack was worse than ever, Andrea wasn't able to calm herself down. The ways she tried just weren't working. Finch was there by her side, trying to help calm Andrea down.

That is when Ava walked in, "Hey has anyone seen-" she started talking until she saw Andrea and Finch on the floor in the room. She ran to Andrea's side to see her struggling to breath, struggling to calm herself down. Ava picked up her head slightly so Andrea could look at her in the eyes. "Hey I know it's scary just try to breathe alright" Ava said. She pulled Andrea into a hug and started to draw circles around her wrist. Andrea slowly was able to calm down, her breathing was going back to its normal pace. Andrea looked at Ava and smiled, she has never had someone to calm her down like Ava did.

"Thank you," Andrea said. "Anytime" Ava replied. She helped Andrea to her feet and sat her down on a couch nearby. Ava sat next to her with her arm around Andrea, telling that she was still weak after the panic attack. "Do you think you can hear the news?" Finch asked. Andrea nodded her head with Ava looking at Finch. "What news?" Ava asked. Andrea guessed that she was going to hear something that would bring everyone in shock. All three of them brought over a chair and sat down in front of both Ava and Andrea. Their faces were serious. "Promise not to tell anyone, however the defenders already know about this. Expect you Ava." Ms. JaJanston said.

"Promise," Ava said.

-TW has finished-

The headmaster looked at everyone then Andrea. "Andrea, there is no easy way to put this however, you have powers" the headmaster said. Andrea looked at him with disbelief, her parents were regular witches and wizards, how could she have powers. There was no memory that her parents had any powers, nor cousins or any relative had any types of powers that she knew of. Andrea looked at Ava who had a concerned face on, as if she knew the dangers of the powers. "Wait, no one in my family has powers. How is that possible?" Andrea asked. Headmaster Zyleftro nodded his head at Finch, he pulled out a photo just like when they first met, and handed it to Andrea. The photo this time however had this group of people, all with different types of powers in action.

Some were very basic, while some were more advanced such as water, energy waves, reading minds, fire, and many more. Everyone in the photo looked to be having a splendid time, all hanging out with one another while taking a picture. Which of course was moving like the last one that Finch has given her. Ava looked at the photograph as well, watching it move with the entire group using their powers. "Andrea, these are your ancestors from years ago. Their powers have been passed onto you" Finch said.

Andrea didn't know what to say, she tried to think on some points where her powers may have taken control. Then she remembered on the train, "Is that why my eyes changed colors?" Andrea asked. They all looked shocked, Ms. JaJanston left the room in a rush with no words on where she was going. "When did that happen?" The headmaster asked. "On the train, I got mad at someone and they flickered, yet nothing happened" Andrea answered. It was best for them to know, maybe they could help her keep it under control. They looked as if they didn't want to answer the question so Andrea started to look around the room.
