Power

Weapon and abilities

     A week have passed since I have been residing at this weird city called Alsi. Most students from my class and other class who are new to this town have adjusted to the fantasy life style including myself, of course but lately, we have been in class rather than training outside and my twin guns have not changed color ever since the battle against Brad.

"Today might be a little different everyone, each of you will individually check with a higher up" our lecturer said, somehow reading my mind.

The timing is weird.

"Check what?" Mason ask with his usual attitude. Even with Mr. Flake this man is very rude. I personally think his fire-like hair suits his attitude very well but let's just keep that to myself.

"Your weapon and abilities" Mr. Lowe casually responds, not caring about Masons rude attitude. He adjust his glasses and tells us to follow him which led us inside a big auditorium with other amateurs just like us.

Soon, Mr. Lowe left us with the higher ups and they began explaining themselves which I pay no attention to since my focus was caught up at the dancing purple blossom tree's through the window outside.

"Carmella Rosette, you're up next" I heard someone call my name so I followed the voice only to be awaited by Blake himself, wearing a glasses and a clipboard on his grip. Wow, he looks wow. No wonder girls would drool over this man.

"Come in" he says, leading me inside a room while I obediently did what he says. He close the door from behind me and sat across, "Show me your weapon" he says.

I took out my twin pistols from my thigh holster and shows it to him but due to my extreme nervousness, I accidentally dropped one of them so I had to pick it up. As I was picking my gun up, my necklace had fallen out from my shirt, "Ah" I told myself, hiding back the necklace.

"Take off your clothes" he says out of nowhere while I gave him a weird look.
"No" I responded.
"Were you not listening earlier?" He questions while I look away. Even if I did know I would have still opposed to taking my clothes off.
"I-i did" I lied, averting my eyes from his. I'm such a bad lier.

"If you listened then you should know why I'm asking you to take your clothes off"

"Why are we-" I stopped my sentence when I saw him smirking at me, "Fine then!" I yelled, taking the challenge on. If there was any at all.

I took my clothes off just as he told me and I felt so ashamed about my body until I found him staring at something. It was the necklace that was glowing brightly.

"Mel..." He whispers, a small hint of sadness and hapiness mixed together were visible from his expression.

Mel? Who's that? His girlfrind or something?

"U-uhm what is it that you-" I stopped my sentence when he pushed me down the school bed, "Hey what are you doing?!" I tried to push him away but seeing his desperate expression made me wonder what's going on with him.

"I'm sorry... I had to..." he whispers to my ear while I stop resisting and continue to allow him to freely talk. This side of Blake seemed to make me cry as if I can also feel his pain, "There there" I caress the back of his hair while my other arm rested on his firm back. When reality hits him, he immedietly pulls away and clears his throat while that cold expression was back, "What's your ability?" he questions, going back to business.

Is he going to pretend nothing happened?

"Healing." I told him bitterly. Just as I thought, this man is a jerk! Looks or whatever, if your inside is rotten then what's the point of being handsome!

"Then you may go" he sighs, turning his back on me. I quickly put on my clothes and stuck my tongue out at him, "I am going" I say then slamming the door.

Jerk!

I'm a fool to think he was kind but why stare at my necklace? And somehow, I felt it react in some type of way. I don't know anymore, I need to calm down.

"Carmella?" Alto appeared out of nowhere causing me to jump in surprised, "You scared me" I sigh, resting my hand on my heart. Now that I think about it, this is my first time involving myself with someone this long.

"Sorry but my sister is fine now thanks to you. Sorry again for causing you so much trouble," he bows, "if you'd like, I can treat you to lunch here"

LUNCH?!

"I would appreciate it" I smile, trying to hide my excitement or else he might be creeped out. Since when was the last time I ate food? It feels like it's been forever.

"Let's go" he smiles while I followed him. We arrived in a cafeteria that looked more like a buffet that I always dreamed of coming to. "Ah. But I don't have money to pay you back though" I reminded him as he chuckled.

"Silly, you don't have to worry about that. It's actually free and I heard today that they serve their special tiramisu cake once a month. You can only get one per student so as a thank you, I'll give you mine"

"R-really?" I gave him a happy expression, tears of joy were brimming from my eyes. Just like the sister, the brother is also so sweet!

We walk through the line and grabbed a tray as I put mash potato, chicken, chocolate milk and the special tiramisu served once a month. Alto and I found a seat somewhere peaceful and got to know him better.

"U-uhm Alto..." a timid girl appeared in front of us. We both look at her with confusion as she shyly handed out an envelope in front of Alto, "Please accept my feelings!" says she, before running away while screaming lowly.

"You're quite popular with girls aren't you?" I tell him, taking a small slice of the tiramisu while staring at Alto.

Now that I look closely, he is good looking. Especially boys with dirty blonde hair are the most adored and prince charming like. Unlike that jerk Blake, this guy is nice on the outside and inside.

"I really hate when girls confess to me when I don't even know who they are" Alto say while ripping the envelope in pieces without even bothering on reading whatever was inside.

W-what a twisted personality...

"I'm sorry you had to see that side of me" he sighs then massaging the corner of his lips as if it was sore. I cough a little since I felt the awkward tension surfacing, "What's your ability and weapon?" I changed the topic.

"I have the ability to use lightning and can use a pistol" he tells me.

"PISTOL?!" I uncontrollably yell causing everyone to look at me. I apologized to everyone and embarrassingly sat back down, "Hey you know I have a pistol too!" I whispered to him.

"Really? Let me see"

I took out the gun from my thighs but something felt weird. It didn't feel like a gun so when I took it out, it was a pair of two black knife, "You said you had a gun?" Alto questions me.

"I.." I started, staring at the two pair of knives on my hand confusingly, "I was just joking I guess..." I lied. Telling him what's going on might not be a good idea so it's best if I stayed quiet.

Sigh, everything about me is full of mysteries.
