Hidden Potential

Chapter 4

"...me!, excuse me!"

I turn around to find a girl looking around at the bodies, she has dark brown hair which is up in a ponytail, soft dark brown eyes and a very pretty smile. As much as I would like to admire and look, my best friend and crush just died in my arms and I am very depress right now.

"Yes?" my voice came out hoarse, as if I have not talk for ages.

"What happen? Are you both alright?"

"She's dead. She's dead!" I cry out. Why have I not told her about my feelings?

"She's not." her voice ring out with a hint of firmness. "She's neither alive nor dead. Just drifting. I can feel it."

My mind is literally reeling with confusion, hope and slight wonder. Just who is she?

"We must not talk here. I'll explain it to you if you'll follow me. There's something about you that makes me wonder."

Ah, whoops. I must have said that a bit too loudly. I follow her into the school, Amber still in my arms. We walk over and around dead bodies scattered around the hallway and into her dorm room I guess.

I know, why am I following her without knowing her name? I trust her. I have a feeling of trust and friendship so deep within me that shock me. I have never felt this before.

She open her cupboard and did something to it. When she put down her hand, and I swear her eyes change to another colour, or is that just my imagination? The cupboard glow a bright shimmering blue colour, totally like Shadowhunters and their portals.

She pull me through it and I have a wave of familiarity again. When we appear on the other end, which I am right, it is a portal, I am in another room. A bedroom specifically. She direct me to put Amber on the bed, which is black and silver. The silver is spread out everywhere which gives it an illusion of stars, like the galaxy.

She led me out of her room, I am guessing. I throw a glance back at Amber before following blindly again. We walk down a series of hallways, all of them is made out of concrete and glass, which overlook trees, trees, and more trees.

Seems like we are in a forest, like X-Men. Love that movie, especially the latest one. Still am going to fangirl over it, once I found out what the heck is wrong with me and Amber.

I must be so lost in thought that when a women spoke, I just about jump, which did not happen. "How may I help you?"

"I found her, and her friend. They might be special, though I am not confirmed."

"Leave us."

She gracefully walk out of the door. I turn around, and to my utter surprise, there is not an old person, like Dumbledore, but instead a fairly young women. "Welcome. What is your name?"

I clear my throat, "Clara, ma'am."

"Clara...?"

"Maplewood."

She stare at me for a moment, not saying word. She look to be in a shock of some sort before coming back to herself. "Right. Sorry, was off reality for a while. I'm Miss Felicia, the headmistress of this school."

The next question she ask, for some reason, sent me spiraling into the darkness of my mind. "Do you know, who you are?"

"Clara, you have a purpose. A destiny so strong that it follows you."

A pain so strong spike through my mind. I shake my head, both disagreeing with her and to try to dispel the pain. Although, that might not have been the best idea. It makes me sick, wanting to vomit and almost miss the words she says. What came out of her mouth, is by far the most confusing and craziest thing I have ever heard.

"You are a warlock."
