Discoveries (Virals fanfiction)

Part 2

Chapter 2

Ben pov

I woke to the sound of my alarm blaring at 6:30 a.m. Yawning, I rubbed my eyes and prepared for another boring school day at Wando.

If I still had my flare, I would've used it right now to make the weariness go away. But, of course, I didn't have my flare. Did I?

If what Tory had said was true, and I believe it is, then I still have my flare. But would it work?

On an impulse, I closed my eyes and willed my flare to show. Of course, it didn't. What was I thinking? I didn't want to admit it, but Chance was right; I had tried to flare so many times I lost count. It never worked.

I got angry. Why did those stupid people have to interfere? If it weren't for them, I would still be able to flare. It had been over a year since we first became Virals, and if it weren't for those people, we'd still have them!

Something happened to me. I can't describe it perfectly, but I felt...calm. Despite being angry moments ago.

I ran to the bathroom. What I saw made me gasp: my eyes were no longer their original brown. They were electric blue.

"You were right Tory," I whisper, even though I knew she couldn't hear me. "The Virals are back."
