Malden came over with a needle in his hand. He was going to give me a shot! I hated those. I backed away and started to run, but he caught up to me and caught me by the arm. "Hold still." he said and put the needle in my vein. I winced, but almost immediately felt an explosion of power all over my body. I felt... I felt... something I haven't in a long time. I jumped high in the air and soared around inside the training room. I could fly again! I had my powers back. A little twister formed on my finger tips and I felt my pupils turn that clear grayish color. I was so exited I zoomed around the room like a little kid would. I laughed and finally obeyed the laws of gravity and landed on the floor. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and saw that my eyes were still the clear gray color. Strange. It'll probably go away soon, I thought to myself. "Alright East. Let's start with what you already know." Malden said, "Impress me." I did what I was told and leaped up and grabbed a bar that hung from the ceiling and made a giant twister with one hand. She grabbed the bottom of the funnel and flew around and used it as a whip. I flung it around the room and knocked some equipment over. "Oops." I said. Malden put his hands out and shook them. "Don't stop, I'll fix it." I shrugged and kept swinging. Then I landed and absorbed the twister. Malden looked at me strange. "That's all?" he asked a little disappointed. "Well yeah." I said. I didn't really know about my powers until I was 16 then about a months later I got them taken away from me. "Any tips?" I asked. "Well." He started. "You could have done this too." He made a funnel and it sucked me into it. "GAAAH!!!" I yelled as I was be sucked into a storm. I couldn't do anything. I was trapped as if I was a genie in a bottle. Malden let me out and I spun around feeling my head. I was pretty dizzy. I blinked a couple times, but that didn't help. Whew! I actually felt super dizzy. I saw black and yellow spots form around me. The black took over. The last thing I heard was Malden. "She is weak. Crap. We will have to work harder to make more progress." that's when I fell.
