Gethen and Gisela's POV in Level 7

+Chapter One+

Gisela's POV

Gethen grinned. "Is that Cassius Sencen?"

I looked at the figure in front of me.

Slicked blond hair.

Ice blue eyes.

Arrogant expression.

Perfect.

I shushed him. "Gethen, he'll hear us!" I held my list up to the light again. "But yes, I believe he is. It's so handy to have a Technopath that can break into the Registry, isn't it?"

"And he's an Empath?" Gethen clarified.

"Yes. And he's perfect for the job."

"You realize you're gonna have to kiss him, right?" Gethen laughed.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, Gethen. I'm willing to make the sacrifices."

Gethen nodded approvingly. "Good to know you're all in."

"I am. And our Technopaths are trying to figure out the riddle for stellarlune. We're going to figure it out at lunch."

"I can't. I have detention." Gethen smirked. "Magnate Emery had no idea what hit him. I do though!"

I scoffed. "Honestly, Gethen. The one time I need you to do something that's actually useful for a change." Cassius turned the corner, out of sight.

"Quickly! Follow him!" Gethen and I scampered down the hall of the Gold Tower, ignoring Master Prentice's calls of 'no running!' We hid behind the golden flareadon statue in the atrium, watching Cassius gather his books from his locker.

"What now?" Gethen whisper-hissed.

"I'm gonna go talk to him." I squared my shoulders. Gethen rolled his eyes.

"Girls," he muttered. "I still think you could've chosen a hotter Empath."

I ignored him. My whole plan revolved around Cassius Sencen. I wasn't letting Gethen mess me up. So, I ducked out of our hiding place and strode up to Cassius, offering my warmest smile.

"Hello. I'm Gisela Jarsdel. Nice to meet you."

"Cassius Sencen," he said, shaking my hand. Seriously? He shook my hand!!! Cassius Sencen shook my hand! I tried my best to keep a cool expression as he told me, "To what do I owe this pleasure." 

Hot and polite. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad!

"Hail me on my Imparter anytime Cassius." I gave him a small smile and left.

"What were you saying, Gethen?" I asked when I ducked behind the flareadon statue again. "That is how you do it." Gethen looked slightly impressed.

"So, did you get him to hail you?" He asked after clearing his throat."

"I guess we'll see." I gave him a smug smile. "I won't be surprised if he does."

Gethen rolled his eyes. But a part of him looked a little... hurt.

Nah.

He couldn't... right?

Wait.

Maybe.

I mean, it made sense. After all, have you seen me?

But I shook it off and focused on the bigger picture. Someday, I would build my own Nightfall. And someday, Cassius Sencen would be the perfect Empath to help me run it.

+++

At the end of the day, I walked into my spacious room in the Gold Tower.

I checked the shelf. My Archetype was untouched. Pleased, I sat down on the bed. My Imparter beeped. Incoming hail from Cassius Sencen.

[A/N: I had so much fun making Gisela a 17 year old fangirl. To quote my sister, "I guess we're writing ships after all." BTW I totally ship Gethen and Gisela. But now, I'll stop rambling and got onto chapter two ;)]
