A couple hours later we hear a door slam and head upstairs to change out of our bathing suits. I change into black skinny jeans and a tight blue sweater that hugs my chest. I open my door and walk slowly to the dining room murmuring a song that's stuck in my head. Nash and I eat a quick lunch and than Somantha comes in the room. Her face is pinched with annoyance.
" Why in the hell were you not in school today? Both of you." She asks her voice dangerously calm. Nash smirks.
" We were training."
" You are not to skip school tomorrow, if I find out that you skip school tomorrow then , and I am sorry Melena, but this spending the night on a school night thing won't ever happen again. Unless it is an emergency. Do you understand?" She demands. We both nod. I avoid her eyes.
" I am sorry it was my fault I was the one to suggest that we don't go to school. Please don't punish Nash for my wrongdoings." I say meeting her eyes. She studies me for a moment before nodding to me than setting her things down on the table.
" Nash have you taught her about the.... Power part of being a Sinder?" She asks him, he shakes his head.
" I was waiting for you to come home so you can help me." He says.
" Alright than, why don't the two of you go change into your body suits so we can start on your training suits." She says. Nash and I stand and quickly depart to our rooms to change.
About five minutes later I find myself in the training room with Nash and Somantha. We are all in bodysuits. Mine a rich gold, Nash's creamy white, and Samantha's a brilliant rust color. Somantha stands there and explains what this power part of being a sinder is.
".... You can do anything you want. It can be something small like super speed, strength, or invisibility Or it can be something as big as creating an earthquake. But to warn you, the longer you use the power that you have called up or summoned the more it drains your energy. Unlike when you transfer into something it drains your energy. Like stamina. The more you train and practice the slower your energy drains. You also gain more energy as you train." She explains. I nod slowly thinking about what she just said. I bite my lip deep in thought.
" Can we try it?" I ask the both of them.
" Yes of course." Somantha says at the same time Nash says;
" Sure"
" What do I do?"
" Think of the power you want and than think of it spreading throughout your body. After you get used to summoning powers you won't have to imagine it spreading." She says. I nod. I suck in a deep breath and think of what it would be like to be able to go invisible. Than I picture my fingers slowly disappearing from sight, next my arms, than my torso, my legs, my feet, and finally my head. I look up to Nash to see if it worked. He is still standing there staring at me. I frown. Crap it didn't work is the first thing that runs through my mind. He laughs.
" No it did work." He says. I lift my arm and sure enough it was gone from sight. Even I couldn't see myself. I grin triumphantly. I look up at Nash and.... He's no longer standing there. I spin in a small circle but can't find him anywhere. I look at Somantha and she just smiles. That smile tells me that he's planning something. I close my eyes and will my mind into his. I feel power wash over me before I open my eyes.
I have reappeared but now I can feel the thought waves in the room. Samantha's thoughts are proud of Nash for finding me and helping me. But she also wishes that Nash's father was here to see it. She really loved him and misses him dearly. She thinks he would have liked me. That small detail causes me to blush. I shift from her thoughts to Nash's. I see Nash in my mind. His thoughts are more scrambled like he knows I am trying read his thoughts. But eventually after a moment of focus I latch onto his plan. I see Nash's plan play out in my mind. He disappeared while I was distracted and than he creeps up behind me after watching me trying to figure out what to do. Than I see him scaring me. I quickly pull my mind from his and will myself to disappear again. I run across the room and I hear Nash
Laughing behind me. He reappears in the spot I just left.
" Hey no fair you cheated!" He laughs. I smile.
" No I did not." I say still invisible. A wave of dizziness hits me and I sway on my feet, my eyelids growing heavy. I reappear and almost fall. Nash is next to me in seconds and he steadies me.
" Come on, let's give it a rest today." He says.
" Alright why don't you two go change while I cook dinner." Samantha says. Nash leads me out of the training room and to my room. He shuts the door behind him as he heads to his own room. I change into my pajama shorts and matching tank top before pulling out my journal. I hold out my right palm like I did earlier in the car. The symbol starts to glow a deep red color as if the symbol was bleeding. My palm tingles and I see the symbol on my palm glowing the same deep bloody red. After several seconds pass the lock on the book pops open. I jump, the sudden change startling me. I slowly open it to see the pages empty. I think a moment before leaning over to grab a pen from the desk beside the bed.
Dear Diary,
Today was interesting. I guess you could say. I woke up a couple days ago wanting nothing more to be with my family again. Don't get me wrong I still do but.... With each new thing that I learn about myself, my... race....it's another that my parents had hid from me for years. I skipped school today to train with the boy who has been helping me. He is very kind and good looking. I can't believe all the stuff my parents hid from me my whole life. Tomorrow I must return to school.
It would be my fourth day of school since the death of my parents and my little sister my little angel. I really like this boy.... And I am in his debit. If it weren't for him I would have gone crazy thinking of my dead family. At least now I have a distraction. I have time to heal from my wounds that refused to close up over the summer
-Melena
I study what I wrote on the paper and shrug. I snap the book shut and replace the lock. I set it under the bed just as someone knocks on the door.
" Yes?" I call.
" Dinners ready." Nash says through the closed door.
" Alright." I get up and head to the dining room. While we eat a meal of steak and mashed potatoes Somantha tells us that after we get home from school we will train while in wolf form. I nod in agreement knowing that I need to get some more moves in.
" Don't let the others know she's an Alpha yet. We need to make sure she can fight before she fights for a spot in the pack." She addresses Nash. He nods stiffly while swallowing a bite of food.
" Try not to let Nash's friends know that I am an Alpha. Got it." I repeat her words just to clarify. I finish off my food and stand. I carry my dishes to the sink to rinse them off after thanking Somantha for the wonderful meal.
" I am going to bed. I will see you in the morning." I tell them. The pare nods.
" Do you need me to set an alarm?" Somantha asks. I shake my head.
I walk to my room and shut the door. I set my alarm to wake me up at 6:30 a.m. to the songs headstrong by trapt and crawl into bed.
