I dragged Luke into an alley quite casually then pushed him up against the wall, my arm just below his throat. "Spit it out, what did you do to that file you can be killed for messing with files!?" I shouted, angry that I had been tricked.

"She..She was 15. She said she knew what I could do and unless I did what she would say that she would go public on the fact people have powers. I asked her what it is and she told me to change files. This was the first time I've heard of her since. The File is fake. The Paper thinks there is writing still on it when there isn't so it just absorbs the writing. "How come the paper won't absorb her name," "I registered it as a name change on a dead persons file!" 

I could see he was scared but still I pushed my arm into his chest, watching him struggle for breath. "Why did she want the file changed?" He started gasping and I let the pressure off a bit. "I have no idea Kal man! You gotta believe me! I asked she just said change it! No explanation!" I released him and punched him in the face, some of my anger out.

I left him in the alley to find his own way home as I got in my car and sped to Liesma's house. My mind was rushing. Why was he calling her Avix? Why would he do those things? How would she know?  I parked the car and stormed into the house, my entire body filled with anger. It pounded through my veins, rich and hot.

Liesma was sitting in the kitchen on the phone, she shouted something into the phone then hung up, jumping up to look at me with a raised eyebrow at the slammed door.

"You... You decieved me, I hate to be decieved. How. How did you do it! Luke's weak but not that weak!" 

Liesma picked at her nails as if she was bored. "Calm your tits. Blackmail is the best form of persuasion sweetheart. Hey, can nonhumans have children with powers?" "Why ask that!" I was completely blown away by her answer, random or what.

"I mean if two people without powers had a child and that child had powers is it possible yes or no?" I could see she was getting impatient. "No."  she nodded. "Ok good." Suddenly Liesma walked forward, grabbed the sides of my face and smashed her lips onto mine. I felt my anger vanish as soon as our lips made contact. This was weird for Liesma. When she pulled away I felt a feeling as if something was being stopped form flowing. The feeling some people got once a power had been used.

"Liesma! He's calm now!" I looked to see Liesma fall to the floor as a splash of water revealing Maye. She looked tired. That's why I was Calm! Maye had calmed me using her power!

"Wow you really are slow," Liesma commented walking out of a small broom cupboard. "Maye that was completely disgusting watching an image of myself kiss him ,"  To add to that comment she wrinkled her nose up. Maye nodded, looking a bit woosy. "I'll be in your room asleep Lie. He was extremely pissed off." Liesma did a quick thumbs up as Maye climbed up the stairs.

I looked between the stairs and Liesma with my mouth open. "Shut your mouth, you'll catch flies. You're very good at catching things aren't you. Besides you're a walking STI."

I wanted to feel angry but i couldn't that irritating calm flowing through my body. Liesma grabbed a chair and pushed me down, the calm was making me feel all weird and woozy. She jumped up onto the counter top and studied me intently. "Now, why would you follow me. a) Thought it was a date b) eavesdrop. Probably b am I correct?" Her mumblings continued like that, the last thing being aimed at me.

After she finished I watched her bite her lip as if thinking about something. I could feel my normal emotions returning. "What did you hear?" She walked towards me and lifted my chin up so I could look into her eyes. The brown contacts were somewhere in an alley where I took them off so I could glare at Luke.

"That you managed to persuade Luke to forge some files. Why would you?" She laughed. "Simples. I wanted to vanish! I managed to vanish normally in a normal life but those pesky files that I found out through Maye meant that someone could find out my secrets. So I stole them, hid them, and then when Lukey Boy found out they were gone I said they were my files and gave him false details, I told him to make them unusable and he agreed in fear that he would fail his duty or something."

"I need your real file Liesma, why does Luke think he destroyed the old file?" She grinned at my question. "I know people. Maye was the one that told me about the powers Drake was the person who told me how to get in and find Luke. Drake is a very persuasive person." I was getting slightly scared of her now until I remembered that she's psycho.

"Where's your real file. You don't know how much I need to complete this assignment." She chuckled.

"Actually I do. When you were 16 you got an assignment. You were oh so close. Until your idiot genes kicked in and you slept with the chick at a random party. The owner of the party ended up being her soul mate but he moved away because he was heart broken and not even your manipulative powers could help you so you weren't trusted for 2 years until you got the fake file. A.K.A. Mine. Quite funny but VERY annoying." I was shocked she knew that but she had probably read other files.

"I'm not going to give you my real file for 2 reasons. 1 I despise your very exsistence. 2 I need my secrets." That was when I noticed something.

Liesmas contacts where out and her eyes were revealed, but the colour was covered up by white. A sign of 2 things. She's dead or she's stuck in a flashback.

"Liesma." I stood up and walked towards her. The two reasons. She wasn't talking to me. She wasn't even talking. It was snippets of a flashback pushed to make sentances. Only death magic can do that. "Liesma!" I shook her shoulders trying to get her to snap out. "Don't Bother, The deal was memories Kalix. I explain all she wants to know I get some of her memories." The voice was someone elses entirely, not one of Liesma's normal voices. Whoever this dude was he was inside her head.

"Get out of her head!" Death magic when used on memories can alter things and needs something major to snap her out of it. 

I placed my hands on Liesma's face, pushing my powers into her, trying to combat the Death magic. I closed my eyes and it was as if I was in a dream.

There  was a guy infront of me, looking at me with a raised eyebrow. His eyes were a bright blue and his hair was a brownish colour. "Well that must've taken alot of power. Want me to get out of her head I guess. I need my deal, I get to see some of her memories. There's some old ones here of a boy she had a fasination about when she was about 4. Aww how cute, they were friends. Wow, a first kiss, that memory is a good one, make sup for the lack of them."  The guy was muttering. He looked at me again and I saw his eyes had gone brown. "I think I'm going to go now. Might wanna get out of her head before these memories fill the space you're in!" 

The guy bowed and tipped a top hate that had appeared on his head before vanishing. I quickly pulled out of her head, a small bit of power returned but I was so tired. I opened my eyes to see Liesma's face, her eyes closed and a small smile on her face. I realised that she was reliving the memories as they flodded back into her mind.  I watched the smile fall off her face before she started to scream. 

"Liesma! Liesma stop!" I shook her and her eyes opened wide, staring into mine, I felt a wave of emotions fill me as I looked into those eyes, Her real eyes.
