The Blood I Carry

Why?

Today I moved 5 rocks with my mind. Yesterday I was moving pillows. Today I am moving rocks the size of my hand. Jude really helps me get a hold and connection with my power. I don't know how to explain it. He just ignites something inside of me. Something magical, powerful.

Sir Cassander is standing in the entrance to the room, looking over and observing all of us.

"Okay guys for this afternoon the newer members will be showing us some of their skills they have learnt. First up Brooklyn." Natalie tells us all. We're all sitting on benches, I'm in between Grayson and Brooklyn. Brooke gets up and asks Jaxon to come up with her. It seems as though they rehearsed something.

"Jaxon, can you pick up the chair and throw it please?" Brooklyn asks him.

He shakes his head no.

"Pick up the chair and throw it." She demands, but this time, her eyes go white, then his do, and then he picks up the chair and throws it across the room.

Everyone claps. I must admit, it is quite impressive to have manipulation powers. You can make anyone do anything.

Brooklyn sits down next to me again. "Did I look good? Was it good?"

"Fabulous, you looked great." I smile. She still likes to impress people with her so called perfect body.

"Next up Grayson."

My leg starts bouncing up and down. For some reason I'm anxious, worried about something.

Grayson stands up, grabs a pocket knife out his jogger pocket, and slices his palm open. I gasp slightly, but then realise he can heal himself. Blood drips down his hand, I want to grab him and help him but I know I can't. He winces slightly at the pain of slicing his own palm open, but then he covers his blooded hand with his free hand and a small yellow glow tints out. In a minute, he is healed, the cut is gone. He shows everyone his palm, then sits back down.

"Let me see." I whisper. Grayson holds out his palm to me. I grab his hand and start looking and feeling his palm. "It's gone."

"It's gone." He smiles at me.

"Olivia." Natalie speaks.

I take a deep breath, then I realise why I'm worried. I don't have Jude by my side to guide me. I've never done it without him.

After standing up and placing five rocks all the size of my hand on the floor, I look at Jude. He nods at me and mouths 'Do it.'.I take a deep breath and do my magic. I think about me and Jude. I think hard. The rocks are lifted into the air, and then dropped down to the floor again. I smile slightly at everyone, very awkwardly and sit back down as they all clap. I actually feel quite proud for once, I never thought about it properly before. I can move rocks with my brain?

"And last Arlo please, then we will return to normal training." Natalie speaks once again.

Arlo stands up and just stands there for a minute.

"Olivia." He speaks, cold and echoing around the room. He tilts his head, basically telling me to get up. I sigh, then get up and stand in front of him.

He holds his arm out at me and suddenly I'm being lifted in the air. It feels sort of cool to be in the air, but then it gets too high, and I realise I'm heading straight for the pool.

"Arlo, stop it!" I yell. This is not funny.

"Arlo i swear to God!" Grayson growls at him.

He holds me above the pool and I stop squirming or trying to get out of the power. I let it happen. I dont care anymore.

He drops me. It's a good job it's a deep pool because my feet would have smashed against the bottom. I swim to the edge of the pool and hop out.

"Not fucking cool." Is all i say. Then I walked out, hair sticking to my neck and forehead, clothes stuck to my cool skin.

That's one way to ruin a mood.
