I was looking at my drawing of the dragon, it was completed at last! I loved it. But the thing was what was I going to draw next?
“Hey Leo the Headmaster arrived!” Ava’s voice rang out.
It has been a week since the murder; the whole home had been tense. The blood stain has been cleaned by Cook; Miss Nash just couldn’t clean it she would burst into tears as soon as she walked by the door. We’ve all been waiting for the person who was to take charge, and I was quite nervous. I got out the trap door and with Ava we made our way to the Meeting Hall, we pushed past people to get to the front I wanted to get a good look at this guy. As soon as I saw him, I hated him. There’s no other way to put it, his face was set in a scowl, he was wearing a gray expensive business suit with a tie, and his blond hair was jelled back (if you know what I mean). And there wasn’t one crease on his suit. Yep I really loathed him. The girls in the home were talking about him; about how ‘hot’ he looked one girl said “His abbs are smoking!” I nearly gagged at that. And I could tell he loved the attention because he was smiling at the girls with his ‘fake rock star smile’.
“Take a chill pill Leo and give the guy a chance,” Ava whispered.
I looked at her,” Is it that obvious?”
She nodded.
I looked at the guy again and saw that he was looking at me, our eyes locked and suddenly I felt the need to run, to get away from this guy. A bad feeling came over me, this guy whoever he was. Was dangerous and I had no trouble believing that, I always trusted my instincts.
“Leo he’s not dangerous, just because your instincts are telling you to run you shouldn’t just hate the guy,” Ava said.
Wait hang on how the hell did she know that?
I broke contact with ‘the guy’ and stared at Ava, “Did you just read my mind?”
A frown came across her face, “I’ll tell you later”
“I know it’s had been hard for you all,” A voice interrupted.
Everyone became silent.
“For now I will take charge until another person can take my place for good, I am hoping to get to know you all better but there will be changes”
The crowd started to talk.
“Silence!” He roared.
The crowd became quiet.
"Thank you I do not like people speaking over me, it is rude. Now where was I? Oh yes my name is Damius Thompson, but for formality reasons I’ll be known as Mr Thompson is that clear?”
Mr Thompson looked around and smiled.
“Good that is cleared up now please go to your rooms for now”
Everyone started to cry out.
“-its only 8:00pm!”
“-why the hell do we have to do this?”
“-what’s your problem!”
“Shut up!” Mr Thompson cried over the crowd.
Everybody once again became silent.
“Go to your rooms I don’t care what you think I am in charge and you’ll do as I say!”
And with that people started to walk to their rooms, Ava and I headed towards ours as soon as we entered the room I sat on my bed. Ava sat with me so that we were facing each other with our legs crossed.
“Okay your right I hate the guy,” Ava said.
I raised my eyebrow, “You think?”
She sighed, “About me knowing what you were thinking I wasn’t reading your mind, not like the way I do it anyway.
“Oh,” I said. “Then what was it?”
“That I don’t know,” She replied. “It like came to me; your thoughts were an open book. I could feel your anger even tho your shield was up”
I started to think, “Do you think this has something to do with the pain? When I was holding your hand I saw your vision”
“But if I can read your thoughts and feel what you feel how come you didn’t?” Ava asked.
“Maybe it comes to you naturally because you are used to reading peoples thoughts, so you are ahead of me there. Your mind is more open mine is more closed due to my shields”
“I could try and focus my thoughts on you,” I continued. “That might work”
She nodded and closed her eyes.
I closed my eyes and focused my thoughts on her, the next thing that happened I wasn’t expecting. In the back of my mind I felt a door open, it’s the only way I could describe it. I went through that and a binding pain went through me. My heart started to throb in pain.
Not again, I thought.
“This hurts,” A voice in my head said.
As soon as I heard that the pain went. I sat there breathing hard I opened my eyes and saw Ava doing the same. The pain in my heart slowly went leaving it pounding.
Why did that happen? I thought.
“Don’t ask me,” The same voice replied.
“Ava!?” I replied back.
“Leo!?”
We both looked at each other.
“What just happened?” Ava asked slowly.
“I don’t know,” I said.
I started to feel nervous, my heart started to beat faster.
“Wait hang on,” She said.
Ava placed a hand on my chest where my heart was and with her other hand she did the same to herself.
“Oh my god Leo!” She exclaimed.
“What?” I asked my face pale.
She grabbed my hand and placed it on her heart, while I placed my hand on my heart.
“Oh crap,” I said.
Our hearts were beating at the same time.
