Beneath The Surface

4, A Planned Attack

~Amber~

The four rode in L.O.U.I.E to Ixtal, they'd just finished shopping for their welcoming party clothes and were on their way back. Jayden and Kai were chatting about, debating which was the best sport. Tennis/Basketball V.S. Soccer/Swim. From what Amber picked up, Jayden was winning by having done more sports research, but Amber knew that Kai had definitely watched more games.

"Your destination has arrived," L.O.U.I.E said loudly, making Kai and Jayden scream in the 3rd row.

"L.O.U.I.E, volume down 10 percent," Evelyn requested.

"Volume-down" L.O.U.I.E replied.

They got out of the car and walked across the bridge carrying bags of makeup and clothes.

"Do you think our uniforms have arrived yet?" asked Amber.

"I dunno, they said they would probably be there when we get back." replied Kai.

"Let's go find out!" said Amber.

They walked into Ixtal academy and to their dorms. The girls made their way to the gifted dorms. Once they were at their dorm, Amber's eyes landed on two packages in front of their door. They were white and pink with gold lace around the top almost like a cake box.

"These are probably our uniforms," said Evelyn, appearing behind Amber.

"Yeah, let's go in and check them out," Amber said. They went in and put their shopping bags down. "Let's change into the uniforms and go downstairs for dinner," suggested Amber.

Evelyn nodded and they went into their rooms downstairs and upstairs and drew the curtains for privacy. Amber sat on her bed looking at the box with wonder. What kind of uniform did mom order for me? She wondered. She opened the box to see a simple blouse with a collar, a pink tie, a pink pleated skirt, and a silk jacket that looked like some sort of office blazer. She tried it on to see what it looked like. It surprisingly was a cute fit. She went upstairs and called Evelyn.

"Evelyn, are you ready?" she asked.

Evelyn drew open the curtain wearing a similar uniform but with a pink knitted jacket at the length of her dress. They stared at each other for a couple moments before Evelyn spoke.

"Yeah, I'm ready. I just need to charge my digi-screen." Evelyn replied. Evelyn went inside the room and pulled out the digi-screen orb. The orb usually files around you, projecting what you see.

Amber's vision went black for a moment. She saw Evelyn walk up to the charger, plug it in, then drop dead. She then saw herself in third person view run over, but Evelyn was no longer moving nor breathing.

Her vision then went back to normal. Evelyn was seconds away from plugging the digi-screen in. Amber had no choice. She calmed herself and channeled all her energy into her legs. Her legs felt like they were burning to death, but she had to do something. Beneath all the pain, was an urge. An urge to use the power and energy inside her legs. Amber closed her eyes. Using all her speed and strength, she raced into the room and pushed Evelyn onto the bed. Once Amber opened her eyes again, she saw that Evelyn looked confused on why Amber had pushed her.

"Why did you-" suddenly a bolt of lightning a meter long shot out of the charger. The girls ducked in time to not get hit.

"What just happened?" Evelyn shakily said.

"I don't know," Amber was shaking as she looked at her hand. "My body just moved on its own when I saw the vision of you-" Her voice cracked.

Evelyn's eyes widened with fear. "You had a vision of the lightning?" Evelyn asked as she pieced everything together.
