The Experiment

Chapter 4

I woke up because I had a strange feeling of someone holding onto my waist and squeezing it. I didn't realize that it was an actual arm pulling me into their body until i felt the heat coming off of him.

I screamed when i realized when it was Bolton. "Thunder what the hell are you doing?" I pulled away from him as soon as i got his grip to release.

"I'm getting comfy. Don't move." before i could get out of bed he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him again.

"Bolton let me go. I am not comfy like this at all." i started hitting his arm but he just chuckled.

"Princess you have to do more than that to get my grip to loosen."

  I rolled over so i was facing him. He opened his eyes just enough to see me but he closed his eyes to fall back asleep. I took the time to view the details on his face. In all he was gorgeous, like drop dead gorgeous. His hair was short but not to short or to long. It was black and he looked good with bed head.

"Would you just stop starring at me and just go to sleep. It's still four in the morning." I sighed and just gave up fighting him and i curled up to his chest to feel the heat.

I woke up again this time to an empty bed. I looked over at the clock to see that it was 8:30. I sat up and stretched. I heard the door start to open so i continued to stretch until someone came in.

"Wow you look like someone put you through a giant blow dryer. Your hair is sticking up everywhere and you're just a mess." Ugh i kinda hated Bolton, he is always getting on my nerves and i have to share a room and a bed with him.

"Just letting you know that breakfast is ready and you might want to get down there before everything is gone." He turned on his heels and shut the door on the way out. I let out a long sigh  and decided it was a good idea to actually get up and moving. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I quickly put on my black running shorts and a dark purple t-shirt. I run down stairs after I'm done getting dressed and putting my hair in a bun.

"She is finally alive!" I look over to a new kid that i had no clue who he was.

"Who are you exactly?" I had no clue who he was. He had chocolate brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"You guys didn't mention me?" They all stared at the mysterious guy.
 "Well I am Derek."

"What are you...Derek?" I gave him a confused looked.

He barks out laughing but no one joins him. "You don't remember me do ya?" 

"I wouldn't be asking who you are if I did know you. No what are you?" I was getting pushed to my limit.

Derek first looked at me and after 2 minuets of staring he finally spoke.  "I have the power of darkness." I stared at him to make sure if he was telling the truth but i couldn't get into his mind. There was some kind of barrier. 

"Your power is darkness?" I really wanted to know what he could do exactly.  How do you control darkness?

"Yeah like I can create shadows and make you think you saw something but really you saw nothing than darkness. Care to see?" I studied him for a second and then i decided.

"Why not?"

"Okay just look at the glasses that are on the table, or just look at the table." I looked at the table and within 5 seconds the shadows of all the glasses and silverware were moving around and around the table. I looked at Derek and saw that his hands were by his side and his brown eyes were concentrated on me, but the shadows still moved. I quickly looked at the others and they are all focused on  the table. There mouths are dropped in awe on how he can control shadows.

After awhile Derek finally stopped and looked around the room and smirked. "Well I got to get going. It was nice meeting all of you." And with that he walked out the front door.  We all stood their shell shocked and what just happened.

"Roxi who was that?" Breezy looked at me still with her jaw dropped and so did everyone.

"I...well...I have no clue. I couldn't read his mind to find out who exactly he was. It was like he had some kind of steel wall that I can't penetrate. It was completely weird. I thought you guys knew him." I gave them all a questioning look and they each looked at one another with a puzzled expression on their faces.

After they were done making sure that no one knew him they said no at the same time. Then it clicked in their heads. He was a complete stranger who magically appeared in our house.

"How did he get in here?" I looked at everyone for the answer.

"He said he knew you and wanted to see how you were doing. So I thought you knew him as well but you didn't." Carley looked like she was going to crumble to the ground because she let a complete stranger in the house.

"Carley it's okay no one is hurt. He didn't do anything to anyone. Don't feel guilty it wasn't your fault you didn't know."

Breezy stepped to her with a worried expression on her face. "Breathe girl breathe. In and out."

After abut 8 minuets of trying to get Carley to breathe we finally went our separate ways. I went to the sanctuary to try to practice my powers.

I stepped into the room and just as i was about to flip the switch to say its occupied Bolton stopped me.

"Hey Roxi hold up. Can i come in with you. I would like to help you use your powers."

I shrugged and said sure. I mean i have no clue on how to use them so maybe he can be some assistence
