The Blood I Carry

Watch

"You have these outfits for a reason." Sir Cassander goes on and on about uniforms, training, abilities. I just want to sleep. It's only 10am and I've been through enough today.

In front of us are outfits that are used for training reasons only. I've heard Cassander say these words at least 4 times in the last three minutes. The outfits are black, for me and Brooklyn there are sports bra looking tops, but a different design for the straps, they also have gold outlining on them with the End Point logo between the breasts. Apparently End Point has a logo too. It consists of gold, pink, purple, and dark green on a branch of 10 leaves. It does look rather pretty.

There's plain old sports leggings too, but instead with the logo running up the side of them.

The boys outfits are very simple, black sports trousers with the logo running up the left thigh, and the shirt is black and has the leaves on the shoulders.

"You are only to wear these when training." There's the fifth time I've heard the phrase. "There's two sessions each day, on occasion we will cancel training so you can rest or do whatever people do these days. The first one is 10am-12pm and the second 3pm-5pm. Today of course you will just watch everyone and wont need to change. Please remember that they will be using their abilities. They won't hurt you at all. They're simply testing themselves and working to grow stronger. You will be starting at this soon so watch and learn."

Sir Cassander finally stops speaking. I'm so tired of his voice. All he's been doing is telling us stuff. Things such as my parents having powers, me having powers, not so great things like that.

We all walk into the space where everyone is training. There's some music in the background, old music from like 10-15 years ago. People such as Mac Miller, Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd, and so on. We all sit on the floor, which is concrete, but oh well. The room is lit with circle lights, a white light shining down on everyone. It's nice here I suppose. Though I don't really know what to look at.

I gasp when I see Rowan turn invisible and then appear in front of Grayson. I also gasped when I saw Valentina fill a half empty pool with water, by her hands. There was another gasp that escaped my mouth when Jude lit a wooden post on fire. Faye protects herself with a barrier from the fire and water being aimed directly towards her.

This is fucking madness.

"Jude is so fucking hot." Brooklyn mutters to me as he lights another post on fire.

I sigh, "You really have to stop saying things like that. It's irritating that you find every person 'hot' or 'fit'. Like who says that anymore?" I rant to her.

"Does he smell good?" She looks at me, smiling innocently.

"Oh fuck you Brooke." I smile to her.

"So he did?!" She squeals.

I put my hand to her mouth. "Be quiet!" My hand stays there until she licks my palm. I wipe my palm on her shoulder making gagging sounds.

I don't know why me and Brooklyn are suddenly talking but it's a distraction from the bad things from today so i can't complain,

"Guys what is going on right now. Valentina can shoot water, Jude can do Fire, Jaxon has super strength, Rowan can go invisible, Milo can shoot electricity out his fucking fingers! This is madness!!" Grayson says to us, seeing just as surprised as us.

"It's amazing." Is all i say, looking at everyone, fascinated. I really wonder what I and the others can do now, surely it won't be anything as good as any of these, but I hope it will be something good.

Brooklyn comes back to the topic of boys.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" She asks me. I will admit that I've never had one, but that is quite embarrassing. I'm seventeen and have never dated anyone, ever. I never even really talked to any other boys unless they were Arlo's friends.
