Gifts And Death Threats

Everyone looked at me silently as I played with the loose cotton on my gloves "So is everyone thinking the same as me?" Xander asked out loud causing us all to look at him in question "What is with the gloves?" he said pointing to my gloves.

Buffy looked at me confused "Yeah I did wonder you haven't taken them off yet?" I pulled my hands under the table uncomfortably "Guys leave her alone it's probably nothing" Willow said smiling at me making realize how cool she was.

"It's to stop me...It's just uhh..." I started to stutter and get flustered "It's my 'gift' I think" I told them and sighed when they looked at me confused "What did she give you monkey hands, is that why cover them up?" Xander asked jokingly.

I smiled and laughed a little "No she didn't give me monkey hands, I'd be able to control monkey hands" Giles sat on one of the chairs and looked at me softly "we uh..we can help you Nikki if you show us" I nodded and slowly took off my gloves.

The gang looked at me confused before watching me flick my wrist and the book in front of us flew across the room making them all jump up in shock "Did you just?" Buffy asked looking at me in shock, nodding I quickly put my gloves on.

"Oh that is so cool" Xander said to me before turning to Willow "imagine being able to get cheese balls without getting up" Willow just shook her hand and smack Xander's arm shutting him up. Giles just looked at me with a small smile "Telekinesis, she really has bestowed you with a great gift Nikki".

I shook my head "No it's a curse, you don't get it I can't control it. When I get angry it's way out of control and some times It happens on it's own if my emotions get crazy" I told Giles getting panicked "You don't understand I could hurt someone" It was getting hard to breathe my chest felt tight.

Suddenly books started flying around the room and the bookcases were toppling over "I'm sorry" I shouted and running out of the library and back home.

Sitting at home I had unpacked my bags and was currently sat on my bed reading a book when a I heard a knock at the door "Come in" I sighed seeing Buffy walk through the door knowing we were going to talk about my 'Telekinesis'

"So" she started as she got in to bed with me and pulled me to her "So" I replied putting the book down and snuggled into my sister just like old times "You didn't have the gloves in the summer" she said obviously as I nodded "It happened the day we had that argument" I told her quietly.

She sighed and leaned her head on mine "Why didn't you tell me?" I laughed and sat up "I was too busy getting my ass kicked by dead people" Buffy smiled but it didn't reach her eyes "Can you show me?" she asked quietly like I was a skittish animal she'd found.

We sat silently for a couple of minutes before I nodded and pulled of my gloves and tried to move a vase but It didn't move "sometimes it doesn't work when I want it to" I told Buffy whilst I was concentrating on the vase"Ahhh!" Buffy screamed at me I jumped making the vase hit the wall.

"What the hell did you do that for?" I shouted a Buffy who was looking at the broken vase in shock "I was just trying to help" she muttered as she watched me put my glove back on "Do you wear those all the time?" She asked nodding to my gloves, I nodded and rubbed my hands together feeling uncomfortable "Well don't worry Giles will figure something out, now get dressed".

I looked at Buffy confused "Get dressed for what?" Buffy turning around at the door "The Bronze it's a club we go to" I closed my eyes and sighed "Thank god, I thought it was going to be boring here" I told Buffy who laughed "Sunnydale is never boring".

Turning to my closet I pulled out some leather pants, a crop top, my favorite spikey boots and obviously a pair of gloves to match. Sitting at the table in the corner of the room I started to put on my make up leaving my hair down and messy.
