Mr Fal started to set up the video camera. "You'll get into trouble for showing us this." Said Chilora and various other members of the class. "Listen I can hear you concerns and whispers, but I won't. I've been teaching to long to care and if you really don't want to see the video, leave to class." Mr Fal looked for response. Everyone had settled down. "Good, now lets watch.
A small flicker on the screen appeared, then another and another until the flickers became a solid colour. This colour didn't become anything else for a minute, worrying some of the students then suddenly a terrible noise crashes in, causing all of the children to cover their ears. A voice starts to speak and the video starts. It shows a huge tear in the sky unlike anything Chilora had seen. Starry and beautiful, this image is ruined when a demonic voice starts to speak. "Hello there." Whispers among the class go about just like the people in the video, Chilora however starts getting goosebumps, this feels wrong. "Look at you all, whispering among yourselves, with those scared looks on your faces. It's adorable really, how pitiful you truly are, thinking that standing there with a stupid exasperation on your face will save you. Do you really think any kind of God can save you? From me? From all the misery in the world? From yourselves? I don't think so, nothing can save you from you true fate. A fate that the Lord didn't give you. A fate that is pure and deserving for a race that destroys and maims. I call your new fate, hmmm Death. Yes that fits rather well, don't you think? Let's see your new fate." Slowly but surly a hand comes out of the tear. Huge, jagged and black. This hand clicks and a human drops to the floor, broken and without breath. An ear piercing scream goes about the crowd and then silence as everybody stares at this horror, too petrified to move. "Do you not like your new fate? For a greedy race of cutthroats and murders, you don't seem like it when the tables are turned, do you? It's not my fault, you deserve this, you know? You brought this pain upon yourselves." A strange noise starts, almost like a laugh, grating like nails against a chalkboard. This noise continues as more and more in the crowd drop. Soon the noise stops and the blackness that had infested the tear had left leaving only a faint scar of what had happened. The crowd is bathed in blood, still unmoving until someone screams and tears fall. The video suddenly cuts for and Mr Fal turns the lights on. Everybody in the class still and nobody dares to speak. One of the girls bursts into tears, running out of the class room. "I have to deal with this, please be quite and if you are going to talk, talk quietly." Mr Fal leaves with a flourish. The class erupts until frantic whispers, Chilora however is still, thinking about what happened in that video. Why was she so frightened by it, everybody else seemed ok, why did she have such a bad feeling about that video? She didn't know but she knew nothing good would come out of it. "Hey, you ok?" Asked Hiro with concern. "You seem kinda out of it."
"I'm fine, I just have a bad feeling about that video, that's all, no need to worry."
"I know what that means ok, every 'bad feeling' you've had has always predicted something, ok. Remember that time when yo-"
"Yes I remember." Chilora said angered. The bell rang. "Come on let's go home, yeah."
The sun was just starting to set as the two walked out of the gate, a small breeze following them as they walked home. "What a day, huh."
"Tiring."
"I think you should tell our combat teach about your gift."
"I don't have a 'gift' ok."
"You do, it's called Teleconection and it's when the mind links itself to an event that happens in the future."
"Really, then you have to tell the teacher about your gift."
"I can't I'd be sent away to some phoney combat school in the middle of nowhere."
"So would I, maybe we would be sent to the same 'phoney combat school'." Chilora mocked. "Ha ha very funny, anyway no point, we're going to be tested for gifts soon, they'll find you eventually."
"So we should tell them now."
"No, I've heard they test people who have unknown gifts at the schools."
"You really believe that."
"Shut up."
"Anyway remember our bloodline thing."
"Yeah I do, for once I paid attention to Mr Fal."
"Really?"
"No."
"Ugh it's the thing we have."
"Yeah that, but I haven't shown any other signs of gifts."
"Yes you have, I've seen the glowing."
"Dammit I thought I hid that."
"I'm very perspective."
"Another gift probably."
"It's not, the thing I got positive for was something called Mindcommuication."
"You have cool gifts, mine are all just physical stuff."
"Your gifts are really cool looking, mine just affect me."
"The Mindcommuication doesn't just affect you, you know."
"What did you just say what I thought you said."
"I got positive for it as well."
"Yay!" Chilora hugged Hiro. "I knew I liked you."
"Stop you're making me blush, anyway stop that were at the dorms."
"Ok, ok bye!" Chilora stopped hugging him and pecked his cheek. Chilora started to run. She looked behind her and started waving as she head off to the girls dorm. Hiro waved and went inside the boys dorms.
