Erastes Optimus:

In the car, Faith and I were discussing the things that we studied for our study session the day before. "Yeah, so the Great Barrier Reef started about 50 million years ago, but we don't really know the exact date." Faith stated. "Correct, and the Roman Empire fell in the year of 1453." I replied confidently. "Okay, I think we're good," I continued, "We spent six long and hard hours studying. This is definitely going to be a fun round. Let's shoot some M4A1's today. Those just got in yesterday." "Okay, sure. Those sound great! I'm so relieved to have a break from those loons who have no idea how to use their mental energy. It's like a constant game of 'teach them what they need to know so that if the hunters eventually find us, we can kick their butts.' I mean seriously. Eli is by far working the hardest at it. At least I don't have to teach you Kas, you already know how to do that." Faith spoke like rapid fire. "Well, they really are trying. Though it can be frustrating that some of them aren't getting it." I said appreciatively. "Agreed." She replied nonchalantly, leaning back into her seat.

As we were walking in, we realized that there is only one other person here. That person though, was a master with guns. "Sweet shot, eh, Pidge?" she asked to, apparently, no one. All of the sudden, a cat jumped out from behind her and made a little meowing sound, almost as if to say 'heck ya that was a great shot!' "Hey Erastes!" Faith exclaimed, smiling pleasantly. "Hey Faith! Is this the Kassandra McKesson you were telling me about?" the German girl I now know as Erastes asks with a certain light-heartedness. It almost seemed... insincere. "Yeah, but don't worry. She's chill. She is like us. No secrets." Faith commented coolly. "Oh, ok. Hey Kassandra! May I call you Kas?" Erastes asked sweetly. "We'll see how today goes." I replied darkly. "So Kas, why don't you and Erastes talk, and I'll go get our guns? Capiche? Capiche." Faith stated quickly before walking off.

"So, Erastes. Faith said that you were like me. What did she mean?" I asked skeptically. "Well, we had been talking for a while, and suddenly she just, like, confronted me about it. I had a sense that if I lied she would know, so I spilled. Everything. So after that, she told me that she was like me, and that she was a telepath. She didn't mention what you were though, so I was hoping that you would tell me." she spoke swiftly as if to warn me not to interrupt her. "Well, I have a danger radar, and inhuman strength." I replied nonchalantly, "But the question is, what do you have?" I inquired with skepticism. "I am a technopath, meaning I can work really well with electronics. And, its ok if you say no, but would you be ok with showing me your strength? I mean like, I'm just curious." She asked me sheepishly. "Sure! But, uh, what do you want me to demonstrate with? I don't want to do it with you, cause I don't want to accidentally break a bone of yours. Do you want me to snap a gun? Cause I can snap a gun in half if you want me to." I spoke like rapid fire. "Uh, sure! Just use this one." She said while handing me her gun. "Alright. Here goes nothing." I stated calmly while gripping my hand around the gun. I closed my eyes, and bent my hand.

When my eyes opened, Erastes was standing next to Faith, mouth hanging wide open, looking at the gun in my hand. I looked down to see that the gun was bent clean in half. I stood there mentally applauding myself for about 2 lovely seconds. After that, I went back to shooting, instead of bending, guns at the range. It truly felt good to use my strength even though bending that gun was not even close to being a challenge for me. Erastes clearly had a newfound respect for me. I honestly don't have a problem with that. After everything that happened that day, Erastes came back to the school with us. We bought a new dorm that Lexa and Erastes are sharing, even though we have already cut down their wall. I defiantly think that Erastes will do quite well with the rest of us.

So....yeah. that was something. IDK. Live life. Comment how life is for you.
