Figment Awakening

Chapter 7 Open Hearted

We were in the great hall. Each representative of each person who wanted to say something about how the Villa is going terribly wrong would sit on a chair on either side of the table. We had hear all sorts of complaints and cries of dissatisfaction trough out the evening.

Everybody that was in the room didn't want to be there. The day of the meeting; screams and screams of girls and boys from one of the classes on the east side of the Villa were trying to evacuate because some nincompoop flooded the upstairs attic while trying to get some supplies from one of the water tanks that we hold dangerous, water safe only materials.

The boys came screaming down the steps and shouting, "Flood, run!" and soon a small stream came trickling down the staircase. The whole building had to be evacuated for that entire week.

Harry was in charge of these meetings and at that moment he was yelling at me and I was yelling louder at him.

" I'm telling you, The Villa is going to fail if we don't start documenting our loss or profit of money during war!" Louis went on and on about his scheme to get money back from every single battle that this place has fought.

" How will that help!? Documenting everything will only remind us of our errors. We just need to form some allies, they'll help us regain money," Harry seemed to shoot down every idea; and only he got to shot 'em down! Harry got all the fun that night.

After that there wasn't much more controversy on that subject. Instead we just talked about training schedule and how we where going to feed everyone.

I slowly escaped the mattress under my bones as I got dressed. I always put my hair up in my turn-of- century hair style that you would only ware to prom. Anything to keep people from thinking I was the perfect leader for them.

You might have wanted that. I don't

The meeting the night before was the biggest I've ever seen, everybody in charge of anything was there. Even the goddamned leader of the garden committee was there. ( if you're wondering, the garden committee is involved in anybody with any talent for 'growing things')

" Zayn! Could you help me with something," I was trying get a leather bounded book off the top of a shelf in my cabin.

" Sure," he hoisted me up from the waist instead of just getting it off the shelf himself. I sat down on the love seat in the front of the room, he sat down right beside me.

" So, what is your talent?" I asked.

" Well, first off, every talent is classified under groups. Defense or offense, I am offense. So therefore, I can effect something so it will protect me."

" Since I can shake the ground as I please that would be... offense?"

" Yes and no, yours is rare, which mostly means it can be used as both. The Amplutido usually has two talents, both rare, but one is more on the defensive side, got it?"

" Yeah, I think. When will I find my other talent, Zayn?"

" Remember a week ago when you found your first one, you were angry, right? You were experiencing extreme emotions, that's what breaks open talents,"

" You never told me what your talent was,"

" Mine is very rare as well, unlike yours, mine isn't voluntary, The weather within a mile radius can change depending on how I'm feeling. "

" The sun is shining bright out right now,"

" I know, love,"
