The Fire: Libra's PoV

Chapter 2

"Time's up. Put your pencils down and turn off your monitors." I go through the whole shutdown process and still feel Kay's search waves roll off of her. I tap back into them, and sense whatever the hell it is get closer. Like right in the hall. Holy hell. That's intense. Whatever this thing is it's angry and powerful and holy bejesus at the rage. And of course he's moving our way! Why? Ugh.

I breathe in and out, trying to calm my racing heart and rising fear. No panic attacks Libra. I'm waiting for the spirit who walk or step through the wall, but oddly it stops in front of the door. Why...? Shit it really is a demon. Spirits in physical form with this much rage. Demon. Definitely. Keep it together. You have to be able to protect them. At all costs.

I feel the other girls fear radiating off the charts and look left. Queen is straight up in her chair, jaw clenched, eyes narrowed, breathing deeply through nose. Looking right, Bing is clenching the desk tightly and fear is written on her face for those that know her. For others, she looks like she's fighting a sneeze. Kay is vibrating slightly and not breathing.

I hear the doorknob twist and brace myself for what we are about to face. This has been the most powerful by far. Do not let them die.

As the door slams open, I spin in my chair.... Only to have my jaw drop to the floor. How in the fuck? In the doorway stands Robert. His black hair, usually nice and neat, is dirty and frazzled and I swear I see a stick poking out. He has a cut above his eyebrow and a trail of fresh blood runs down his face. He's battered and dirty, and more cuts are along his arm. In one hand he holds broken glasses. YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'm floored by the power of his mental telekinesis. I'm not sure who he is addressing but from the way Kay stiffens, she heard it too. The anger radiating off of him is palpable to the whole room and his eyes are darker than anything I've ever seen.

Why...? I feel my anger building up and I begin to see red at the edges of my vision.

"Ooooh, Robert are you upset?" I hear a familiar voice. Daniel. 6'8" football jock. He high fives his friends. Oh that's it. I've had enough of you snobs. I'm 5'4" but i can take your scrawny asses. (Yes I'm ballsy like that) I stand in my seat, barely registering what I'm doing and a twisted smile hits my face when I feel a wave of energy roll off of Kay. Then Bing. And Queen. The jocks can feel it but all that happens is that they stepped back. Screw it. I'm letting go. To me, letting energy loose is like breathing. When I center my anger, I focused it strictly on Daniel. When I release, I realized someone else has too. Robert. The 5 waves hit him at once, throwing him and anyone within six feet of him back into the wall. I smile, letting the red overtake my sight, when I hear the satisfying crunch of his skull connecting with the wall. Again I let loose a massive wave, but something stops me. Kay. I immediately cease the wave, afraid of hurting my friend.

She looks around and makes a head motion towards the door, grabbing Robert. I grab Queen and push her ahead of me, making sure I'm gonna be the last on the way out. As we pass the teacher, she starts to say something, but I growl. Literally. And she shuts up.

As I step into the hall, I see a young girl, in about the same condition as Robert, that Kay is staring at. His little sister. I'm not even out the door, but I stalk back in, red overtaking my eyes. This time I use Daniel, who's nose is bleeding, like a ragdoll and slam him against the wall mentally, taking some of the girls' power to help me. Fortunately it's a small classroom, so I cross it quickly.

"If I ever hear of another bullying incident from you or your pack of fucking jocks, a bloody nose and nightmares will be the least of your troubles. You better fucking recognize that who you're dealing with can and will end you." I spin on my heel and exit the room, taking off and quickly catching up to the others.
