The Rejection Pact

Calling All The Monsters.

*Major's POV*

I'm not going to lie, watching her almost kill her brother Sunday absolutely terrified me.

I don't know why it did. But it did.

I mean, it's not even the first time I've been around someone with a gift.

Harlow's a god damn witch. Aine can like, control the elements and can literally kill someone with a mixture. Rhiannon can literally tell you what a plant in the woods is and how it can kill you. Ethan can make the mixture to kill you. And Frazier, she can literally shift other peoples feelings on to herself and take their pain away.

Black clouds coming out of her hands when Harlow can literally light someone on fire with hers should not have scared me the way it did. I think it was mostly because she almost killed her brother.

All of it has me thrown through a loop though, and honestly, there's only one person I feel I can really talk to about all of this without them being concerned for my safety.

So here I am on this beautiful Wednesday afternoon making my way out to the courtyard because I know that's where this person will be.

As soon as I found the purple hair sitting alone, I made my way over to her table and sat down.

Frazier's head popped up out of her book. "Hey."

"Hey." I gave her a small smile. "Can I talk to you?"

"Everything alright?" She raised her eyebrows.

"I uh, I don't really know." I shook my head.

She closed her book and laid it on the table. "What's going on?"

"Before I start, I want to make this very clear that I know she would never hurt me, and I am safe."

"Oh boy." She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms.

"The first time Harlow used her powers, did it scare you?"

"Oof." She sighed. "I guess, that depends on the power. Her simple stuff, not really because I knew she had it, like, when she grows stuff, or makes things float." She nodded. "But, the first time I saw her light something on fire, or completely knock someone out with a snap of her fingers, it terrified me."

"Do you think Ethan ever gets scared when it comes to your empathy?"

"I know he was freaked when I used it to get Rhi back. But now I think he's just gets nervous that I use it on him."

"Do you?"

She took a deep breath and looked around the court yard. "I have." She nodded. "Only a few times though, but I'm different from Harlow. I have to be touching someone."

"Have you used it on me?" I raised my eyebrows.

She pursed her lips. "Only to take your anger away to prevent a fight."

I sighed and shook my head.

"What's up Maj?"

I took a deep breath. "Amity almost killed her brother Sunday."

"Whoah." She shot up to sit straight. "Which brother?"

"Cassius."

"Oh." She rolled her eyes and sat back.

"No, not oh." I shook my head. "She did it because he's been a prick to me. But Fray it scared the fuck out of me."

"Well, how'd she do it?"

"Black clouds coming out of her hands." I nodded. "She has a gift. She can incapacitate and kill people with her hands. The only reason she stopped is because I had to ground her with my voice and touch."
