PHANTOM

Chapter 12

"They're coming Luc. I'm sure they sensed your power. And something tells me they'll be here any minute now," mistress Sloan said.

My eyes follow her as she paced around the room.

"Can't we hide him or something?" Calum asked.

We were in the principles office. She'd called us in immediately after she found out I was awake.

"It won't work -" she was cut off by ruckus outside. A scream cut through the air and a man hit the office window, at least that's what was supposed to happen. He flew through the window, landing on the desk.

"Fucking Council," he growled.

With that we filed out of the office. They had already come. There's no way to escape. So we make our way outside.

It's like they were waiting for us. They just stood in front of the building in a line. My father and brother are also present. They all seem shocked to see me. Well I was surprised too when I woke up.

"I killed you myself. How can this be?" the woman that stabbed me said.

"One of the mysteries of life," I drawled.

"I guess I just have to kill you again."

Reese's POV

She stepped forward. Marianne. She's very strong, well her power is strong. She has dark hair and although she's kind of short at 5'2 she's not someone to overlook. She always dresses in a purple robe. At least when I see her. She controls wind and maybe that's why she's so fast.

Harlin is also a Council member. He stood on her right. He has brown shaggy hair and wears glasses. He's a mind reader. It suits him being dorky and all.

To her left is Cordell. His dark hair has some specs of silver. He has the ability to mold his body to any kind of metal or material.

Next to him is Gerd. He's a thin tall man, almost seven foot tall. His power, well I'm not sure but he's extremely strong. So I guess that's it.

On the other side of Harlin is a woman. She's quite beautiful. Nasri . She has curly dark hair and green eyes. Her beauty goes well with her power. Manipulation.

Last but not least is Gavin. We all know him. He's a water bender. Pretty good from what I've heard. But he's a shitty father. Speaking of, Drew was also present but I couldn't see Luc's mom. Guess she decided she couldn't come.

I turn my gaze back to Marianne as she makes her way to Luc. She stops right in front of him. I see the glint of her dagger in her hand. She raises it to his face. Everyone stands still waiting to see what would happen.

"Maybe I should chop your head off. That kills everything," she said smiling and I tensed. There's no way I'm going to let her kill him again.

A chuckle cut through and we all turn to look at Luc. I could already see the change. His eyes turn purple and so does his hair from the roots to the tips. Just like when he woke up. He continues laughing disregarding the stares of everyone.

Marianne steps back shocked.

"What? I thought you wanted to kill me," he chided.

"What are you?" she asked still in a daze.

"Not what. But who?" he looks around with a smirk. "I'm Phan, it's nice meeting you all. It's great that the Council came to welcome me, it's an honor. So...see you later." he turns to leave.

"Not so fast," Cordell called.

Luc turns around with a grin . "Yeah you're right. I forgot my boyfriend."

Wait boyfriend. He has a boyfriend. I felt something drop in my stomach and my chest constrict. Of course he does, someone as good looking as him must have someone, but who?

"Well, Reese what are you waiting for?"

Wait me, but...

"Huh," that's all that could leave my mouth. My mind couldn't process what he said. I just stand there shocked as he approaches me. His hands slide around my neck pulling us closer.

I gasp when our lips smash together. He moves his lips along mine which are still frozen from shock. He bites my bottom lip forcing me to respond. I open my mouth and his tongue immediately slips in.

He tastes so good. I grab his waist pulling him closer. Next thing I know, he's ripped away from me.

I growl angrily at the culprit. "Hey, I'm happy for you and all that shit but I don't want to watch you guys having sex," Calum said holding his hands up in surrender.

"I'm going to kill him myself," I turn to Gavin after he spoke.

"What are you going to, last time you couldn't even stop Reese from freezing you until your wife begged him to stop," Luc said. How does he know that. He was dead. I could see angry veins forming on his father's face.

"I'll show you, you ingrate," he shouted as a blast of water shot our way.
