Tenorils of darkness

Chapter 8

Leona POV

The sound of the alarm clock was loud through the bedroom. I reached for my phone to see what the time was. It was 7: 30 pm after turning off the alarm I dragged myself of the bed. And went to the bathroom and took a bath. as I was getting ready my mind was on the events that had happened yesterday.

Flashback

"Sorry to keep you waiting. My name is Alexandra but everyone calls me Alex and I am the leader of this gang." the gang leader introduced himself with a broad friendly smile. I watched in an amazement how he didn't look much older than us. "I would like to introduce you to your trainers." He continued. "This is Jacob, Andy and Ava. They are going to be in charge of your training." Alex said. As he looked at each and everyone one of us. his eyes locked with mine and he smiled warmly. As if he recognized me from somewhere. "From what I heard. You guys don't need to train too much unlike our other recruits. You guys are extremely gifted in fighting. Who trained you guys? You all seem to know each other too. Which is also a surprise. Isn't it?" Alex said still not taking his eyes off me. Danm we didn't come with a cover story. He is already suspecting us. How are we going to explain this? I thought as I kept looking at Liam. "We are. ..." I couldn't finish as Liam began to speak before me. "We are childhood friends. Leona and the twin's parents died when they were young. And Olivia and I ran away from home when we were young and lived on the streets. And we all ran into each other and became friends". His explanation was very simple but it will do even if it is not true. The twin's parents did pass away and Liam and Olivia did run away from their family which was still a mystery for me. But one thing he lied about was I didn't meet any of them until 4 years ago.

"Oh I am so sorry for your loss you must have had it rough all these years living on the streets." Alex said finally taking his eyes off me. "But living on the streets have made you guys very strong. i say this because you guys are very powerful and strong both mentally and physically, your fighting skill's are amazing. It's almost as good as your trainers. But it's not. So, I would like for you guys to train more before I send you out to missions." Alex said. "He is right. You guys know physical combat very well. But you have not yet touch any of your spiritual powers." The guy in the mask said. I think his name was Andy. But his voice a little familiar to me. "Spiritual? What do you mean by spiritual power?" Noah asked. And at that moment Andy put his hand in front of him and opened his palm and fire came out. My eyes widen in amazement. I have seen some people in the gang doing this but their fire was never this bright and warm. Only a few people in the midnight gang can use magic. "Oh you mean magic. "Noah said. I rolled my eyes because of how stupid he is. "Have you guys ever tried to find or use your magic?" Andy asked as he put out his fire. They all shook there heads to say no "yes I have! "I said. and everyone's attention was on me. I ignored them and looked at Andy who was staring at me. "what elements do you have? "he asked. "I don't know for sure." I replied I didn't want to tell them. I never even told James about my powers. "what do you mean?" the guy named Jacob asked. I think his was asked before anyone else.

I got annoyed and got up from where I was sitting and walked to the middle. I brought out both my hands in to the air and stared at them. I closed my eyes as I silently tell myself I can do this. After a hot minute I summoned fire in one hand and water on the other. I was surprised by my self as well but I didn't let it show. I looked at the crowd but I focused on my teams reaction. Almost everyone's eyes have gone wide from the shock. Noah and Emma were looking at eachother and looking back at me their mouths wide open. Oliva didn't look happy at all as she blew off her bangs. Liam looked... neutral, focused a bit frozen. I closed my hands. And exhaled loudly as I waved my hand in the air. And the winds grew strong. I pointed the other hand to the sky and to the ground and thunder followed. I heard everyone's gasps on top of the loud winds. Suddenly the winds grew extremely violent and I could nearly hold my ground. I could see everyone doing the same. After a lot of effort i could reduce the wind back to it's normal pase. I quickly announced "I can't use or control them at all so I hide it. I used it once and a lot of people got hurt that day and that was the day I found out I had powers. And since then I try not to use them." I saw Liam his hair seemed messy but he was still in the same position. Hands in the pockets and gazing at me. Suddenly he started fixing his vest but looking straight at my eyes. He had his usual neutral face. Which seemed off. Alex watched me in amusement and everyone else was still in shock. I couldn't tell what was the facial expression of the masked guy at all. But I assumed he was also shocked. I headed back to the place I was sitting. "you have a very rare ability you know!" Alex said ad I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at him. His face had an amused and a very serious look. "what do u mean? I heard people can use more than one ability so for me to use multiple ability is nothing new." I said. "yes that is true people can use more than one power but people can't use powers as many. And my guess is you will be able to use other powers too. you are just manifesting your powers." Alex said. which was a complete shock to me. "what does that mean? and why do I have these powers?" I asked him. I was desperate for an answer. but Alex said nothing. Which made me very angry at him. But I couldn't talk back as I was cut off. "you are all to be here 8:30 in the morning. I suggest you all go home and rest for the day. "Andy said as they all left.
