Octoling Outcasts

Ch. 3

I stand in the hallway wondering if they were going to come back. I became impatient and I put my bag in my locker, and I run after them. I saw that they went upstairs to that's where I went. I see them over by a door, and I hide so they will not see me. Ninava took out a a hair clip and uses it to unlock the door. And they went inside and closes the door.

I ran up to where the door is and there was a sign beside it saying 'weapon storage room'. I put my ear up to the door to listen what they were saying. "I think Lyric is one of us." I hear Luna say. "Why do you think that?" Clover asks. "When I grabbed her hand to shake it, my gift went out of control a little bit, again, and I saw her past." Luna says. "What did you see?" Ninava asks. "She was touching water. No inkling or octoling can do that. It's impossible." Luna says in a very serious and stern voice. "But I thought I was the last one who was born with a gift." Clover says. "I thought so too, but I guess we were wrong." Luna says. 

'What? How does she know I can touch water? What do they mean by gift? There were now several questions I'm wondering about that I want the answers to. "Well how are we suppose to tell Lyric this?" Clover asks. "We'll figure it out." Ninava says. "Wait while we're in hear." Clover says, as I hear her put her splatterscope against a the well. 

The door begins to open, and I pull away from the it. Before I could hide all three of them sees me. "I guess we don't need to know." Luna says. "Clover grabs my arm and pulls me into the weapon storage room. 

"So you pretty much heard the conversation, am I right or am I right?" She asks sounding pretty confident. There is no point in lying since she can see my past so I just nod. "What do you mean by gift?" I asks them. "Ugh how do I explain this?" Luna says grabbing her head and shaking it. "Lucie you want to?" She asks her. Lucie nods and looks at me. "You see only some octolings were born with a gift. A gift is something that we are just born with that can either be used for good or evil." Lucie says before Ninava interrupts. "Hopefully good though." Lucie just looks at her before continuing on.  "At first I thought my brother and I were the only ones with gifts, but later on I met Luna, Ninava, and not to long ago Clover." She says. Luna continues for Lucie. "The  only ones we knew who had gifts before you was Lucie, her brother, and everyone one their team. Ninava, me, and then Clover. We thought that Clover was the last one, but we were wrong."

"What gift do y'all have?" I ask them. "Well I have a gift of seeing someone's past. I just can't control it well." Lucie says crossing her arms. "I have speed. So I can run super fast." Ninava says. "I have invisibility." Lucie says in her shy voice. "And I have luck. So I'll never miss a shot." Clover says as she mimes herself holding her splatterscope and shooting it. 'That explains what Clover meant by she gets that a lot. She's lucky.' I thought in my head.

"Wait why do I have such a small gift?" I ask them. "It's not a small gift. It's because you have a small level. The more that you practice with your gift, the more you'll be able to do. For all we know once you get to level five you could possibly breath underwater!" Luna says. "Each gift grows and becomes stronger when you level up. You see I'm level twelve, Ninava is level eight, Lucie is level seven, and Clover is level six." Luna explains. 

"After school ends you will battle us so we can see where you are at. And then we can help you train with your gift so you can use it. We all help each other out. So are you in?" Luna asks in a little more of a nice voice. "Yeah." I all what I was able to say. "Ok everyone we will meet outside by the doors after school." Luna says.
