The Hidden World

The Fight

Alexandria's P.O.V
'She's really pushing her luck today, Beth...' I telepathically say to Bethany.

BEN and Autumn were sitting on the opposite side of the room, playing video games, E.J was teaching Sally about the human heart at the coffee table beside us, with Sally probing at it and watching as E.J made it beat every few seconds with some electric currents, Jeff was being his usual bitchy self and complaining about him not getting a turn on the Xbox, because Autumn and BEN have had it for the past week now, and not having any more beer, L.J sitting as far away from BEN and Autumn as he possibly can on the couch with Ellen, just talking to her, and finally...

Bethany and I, we were sitting, watching Autumn and BEN play Xbox while we telepathically carried out a conversation.

'Alex, you'd better not do anything. You know that she's not weak. Neither are you, but you can't know who will win because you are both extremely strong. Stronger than Ellen and myself, I know that for sure.' Beth replies.

'Really? You think that little thing is stronger than me? I could break her like a twig.'

'I never said she was stronger than you, Alex. I simply said that you don't know who will win. You are both strong. Just remember, Autumn isn't what she seems to be. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do not underestimate her.' Beth finished our conversation off with that statement as she got up and left to the kitchen.

Conversations with Beth are always short. And I'm speaking for everyone when I say that.

She's probably the wisest, quietest, maturest, and most level headed out of us four. (Autumn, Ellen, Alexandria, Bethany) Although she does have her crazy moments, she is also one of the most mysterious people I know.

All anyone really knows about her is her name. She doesn't talk to anyone unless they talk to her first or its important.

She's very straight forward about everything too. She NEVER sugarcoats anything, which makes me wonder if she has emotion.

She never shows if she's happy, sad, mad, scared, relaxed. Nothing. She just always has a blank, expressionless face.

Autumn is probably the only person that can get to her. If it's just her and Autumn then Beth will actually laugh. Seriously. And nobody has EVER heard her laugh before.

I hate her for it. She's always making everything better and when I try people just get worse and get mad at me. I envy that about her. Why can't I do that? I'm as good as she is.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I looked up to find Jeff sitting beside me. I sighed and stood up. He followed. And we headed out the door to the woods.

Autumn's P.O.V
I had been playing video games with BEN when Alex and Beth had came in and sat down on the couch opposite of the one BEN and I were sitting on. They were just sitting there and watching us play video games.

I felt Alex block my thoughts. So I knew that her and Beth were having a telepathic conversation. I paused the game with BEN, which Alex thankfully didn't notice, and made eye contact with Beth, asking her to let me hear the conversation. She ever so slightly nodded and then broke the wall Alex had put up so that I could hear the conversation.

' -ter not do anything. You know that she's not weak. Neither are you, but you can't know who will win because you are both extremely strong. Stronger than Ellen and myself, I know that for sure.' Beth said.

'Really? You think that little thing is stronger than me? I could break her like a twig.' Alex shot back.

'I never said she was stronger than you, Alex. I simply said that you don't know who will win. You are both strong. Just remember, Autumn isn't what she seems to be. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do not underestimate her.' Beth finished. She then got up and left the room.
