The white butterfly tango

Chapter V

"I met another student here." The girl stated and stood up again. She felt that nasty gummy matter in her mouth again and opened her mouth, pulling out 2 little white butterflies.

"That is just as exciting as you said, Tom." - Some woman chuckled sincerely and leaned onto the old wooden bookshelf, scratching herself on the back by moving her upper body a bit. "Could it be that you were right?" The woman was a redhead with long straight hair and bright blue eyes that were glancing on her face in the tawny beige color, like two little diamonds. She was wearing a light dress with a flowery print.

"Of course, I was right. She couldn't possibly resist that power all her life." Hubert glanced at her a bit shocked like it was something extremely obvious. He wasn't wearing a blazer now, only stood in a black turtle neck and those same classical trousers that made him look super tall. The man had curly dark hair, that was falling onto his face, so he kept fixing it.

"Something must have provoked that. I heard the power was hidden." Another man with even longer hair appeared in the room with a flowerpot in his hands. He had a little beard and tan from the sun on his face. The man wore a linen buttoned shirt and white baggy trousers.

"Sorry for being late." The woman in high heels, black sleeveless atlas dress, and a little hat on the side of her head entered the room. She had a pinned-up black hair and very confident moves. "What did I miss?"

"You missed how she pulled a butterfly from her mouth. Look, how cute it is!" The red-headed woman showed her a white butterfly, sitting at her pointer.

"Rather nasty." The black-haired woman took a step away and hopped on the sofa, mowing the painting to the side. "Are those real bugs?" She crossed her legs and leaned to the back.

"Nope. That's a matter... You can feel it appearing in your mouth, right?" Hubert pulled out a little shining ball, levitating between his fingers and changing its form. That was the butterfly he caught outside. The man took a curious glance at the woman as the rest observed that thingy.

"I can feel that gummy stuff appearing, yes. They can also turn into butterflies inside my mouth." The girl spoke up, a bit unsure if she should say anything to those people but after what happened today she didn't frankly care anymore. Esma then hid her sight from the people in the room.

"You poor thing. That ought to have been shocking for you." The red-headed woman spoke up again and leaned her head to the side, letting go of the butterfly she caught before.

"Let us explain everything to you. I promise, It has a logical explanation." The man with a flowerpot sighed and then put it on the desk, leaning onto it with his hips.

The girl nodded and then opened her mouth again, the people noticed how a white butterfly flew out of it.

"You are scared. Please, calm down so those nasty bugs won't fly around like that." The black-haired woman rolled her eyes and waved to Hubert, notifying him about something.

"Here is your tea. Just as I promised." The man handed her a cup and the girl stood in the middle of the room, having a view of everyone. She pulled the cup to her mouth and took a sip of a warm drink. "Look, kid... you happen to be on the list of those few people with magical abilities."

The girl gripped her cup tight. She wanted to object but couldn't possibly do that after everything, she saw today.

"We all here have those. This academy was created to protect and preserve those gifts." Hubert kept talking and shoved his hands into his pockets. "Our aim is to help people around the world and we work hard to fight that evil and establishing balance in the world."
