Grandwood : "Follow me child." she said as she stepped in. The inside of her house looked just like any other old woman's house. She had a chair near the fireplace with a bunch of books on the small table which the lamp was on. The kitchen was well organized and spotless. She pulled out some old books, one of them had dusty golden covers. She opened it and revealed what seemed to be a golden token which looked engraved. "Take this." she said and put it in my hand. "Now close your eyes and gather your energy."
Hanna : "And how do I do that ?"
Grandwood : "Just concentrate on getting it in all in a place inside you." I closed my eyes and focused. She put her hand on my forehead and said some unknown words. I felt my energy leaving my body, it felt like someone - or something- was draining it. Even breathing seemed hard in that moment. "Take deep breaths" she said. I couldn't breath. I lost my balance and collapsed. "Hanna! Hanna get up! It's over." I opened my eyes and she helped me get up. [phone rings]
Hanna : "Yeah ...?"
Scott : "Hanna, something happened today at school. I ... I can't tell you over the phone. We need to meet."
Hanna : "Um ... ok. Meet you at that Pizza Hut near the park ?"
"Scott : "Ok. See you there."
Hanna : "I'm sorry I have to go." She sighed loudly.
Grandwood : "Hanna I'm going to say this for your own good, you shouln't interract with them anymore." I stared at her. "They are very dangerous, have you forgotten what they did to your parents?"
Hanna : "I didn't. And I didn't forget all the times they saved my life either. You are not the one to give me advice." I said and stormed out....
I arrived and saw Scott, Stiles and Malia sitting at a table near the entrance.
Hanna : "Hey! So, what's up ?" I said and sat down.
Scott : " Nothing good I'm afraid. Today we were introduced to 3 new students."
Hanna : "Pff ... that's why you called me?"
Scott : "Let me finish. As I was saying, we were introduced to 3 new students ... and one of them was Max." I froze for a moment. " There was a girl named Diana, she had medium black hair with fringe and green eyes, and also this Drake guy, he's dark brown haired and has dark eyes."
Hanna : "Do you think they are ... you know ... like him?"
Stiles : "We believe so. They hang out togheter and they seemed to plan something during lunch."
Malia : "Yeah, but that's not all. Tell her." I turned my look to Scott.
Scott : " There are also new teachers. Collins is one of them." he said looking down. His words brought silence.
Hanna : "So ... the whole team is in town."
Stiles : "Kinda. "
Hanna : "All right."
Malia : "All right?" she looked at me a bit confused.
Hanna : "Well, yeah. So what ? I'm not going to run away or hide. If they want a fight then damn, that's what they're going to get."
Scott : "Yeah ... Yeah, you're right!"
Stiles : "That's the spirit."...
The night was eventless. We hang out a bit more at Pizza Hut then I went shopping. Until I realized it was 8 p.m. already so I got home. I made popcorn and watched a movie then surfed the internet until I was too tired and decided to go to bed. The morning air was refreshing. I wanted to be more colorful today so I picked something orange (last outfit) since it's one of my favourite colors.
