The Fire: Libra's PoV

Chapter 4

That night, I pack my bags. After packing clothes and the necessities, I pick up the only two photographs I have. One is in a silver frame in black and white and shows a woman with dark hair, mid to late-twenties, smiling down at a smiling little girl with long, light colored hair pulled back in a French braid.

I smile bittersweetly. "I miss you momma." I have to blink back the tears. I'll see you again. I hope you're proud.

I wrap it in a thick sweater and gently lay it in my suitcase, surrounded by other clothes. Looking at the other picture, I see me, Kay, Bing, and Queen.

We were fairly young there, and I had just met Queen and Kay. Surprisingly, Kay and I did not like each other at all back then. Now... Now I wouldn't trade her for the world. I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. Not even Gorilla. I might want to choke him... That can be arranged -_- Nevermind... But I don't want to trade him.

I take the same precautionary measures with this photo as the other. As I pile in the the last outfit in, in startled by a knock on my door.

"It's open." I turn around and Kay's standing in the doorway. "Hey chica. Wazzup?" I turn back and begin to force the zipper shut, causing the cot to bend slightly.

She shakes her head. "Checking on you. Did you ever pick up on Robert?" I stop and turn around to look at her. Her blue eyes look serious, lacking the usual playful gleam. She's been thinking over this really seriously.

"...No. I mean I never had physical contact with him, but...that...that much power I should have felt. That was Demon levels, if not more. I... I should have felt that just being in the same room with him. Anger amplifies power. We all know this... but that..." I sit on my cot, taking a deep breath and shaking my head. "That was more than just amplified. That, that was just... just..."

"Raw power?"

"Yea." I nod and look up.

"Especially since he just found out about his abilities." She takes a seat beside me. She nudges me. "So Bing said you threw Daniel."

I snort. "Well more like pinned him and threatened his life and soul but he kinda deserved it. That fucking idiot."

"And I'm the blonde devil?"

"Yes. You are. I don't kick people's shins and run away. That's just downright evil."

She laughs. "And yet you threatened someone's soul?"

"What's new? I threaten souls all the time. This is nothing new."

"Whatever you say Walking Dictionary." I roll my eyes as she walks off.

I finish zipping my suitcase and set down beside the cot. I take one last look around the room.

We are going to Main HQ. No more running. No more relocating. No more hiding my powers. We will be among others like us.

I smile and walk out, dragging my suitcase behind me.

This is it. This is where the next chapter begins.
