Destined

Chapter 16

His name is Xavier. He turned twenty yesterday and he had the gift of enhanced hearing and strength and environmental adaptation. He had the bad boy appeal about him and he always seems to have that cocky smirk on his face, which I unintentionally started to like. It was one of many things that I've started liking about him, while spending only half an hour with him. His sexy velvety voice is another thing that I like about him, he made me listen to every single word he said, something I don't usually do to people I barely know. He even has a nickname for me- red hot and boy was I loving it a little too much. Everything's appealing about him, from his messy hair to his fashionable shoes. I mean Josh's hot but Xavier is....... beyond hot. Why was I comparing him to Josh?

My nightmares were back. This time more aggressive than ever. It was the same man. Except this time,he walked towards me looking at me with curious eyes. He then raised his cold fingers to stroke my hair, a gesture I found very disturbing. I ask him the question I had wanted to know for a long time. "Who are you?" The next words that came out of his mouth was shocking. His name's David. With that I woke up with a violent force. I was sweating and breathing heavily. Something told me it was the same David that wants to take over this place and the world. My instincts also told me that I should be very scared. I had to tell Elaine.

Before I went home the next morning, I went over the palace and I told Elaine of my night terrors. She didn't seem surprised at all. She told me that he had the powers to manipulate people's dreams and that was properly want he was doing to me. However, she told me that I had to thing about happy thoughts before sleeping because he can hurt me through my dreams. I frozed and went silent for a second before I asked her why he hasn't done that yet. She said she didn't know but she reassured me that she would do anything in her power to make sure that doesn't happen. Elaine told me I had to come to training at least five times a week and that I was okay with, I mean I wanted to get everything over and done with, so I could go back to my normal quiet life and not having to look over my shoulders all the time and also Jessica and my friends as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessica didn't suscept a thing, it wasn't her I was really worried about, it was Wendy. What was I suspose to tell her? I didn't see or hear from her for what's left of the weekend and I used that time to finish my english coursework. I tried to call her but she won't answer, so I called Mark and he seemed to be distracted. I could swear I heard her voice in the background but I didn't press on. Those two have been asking really weird lately and I knew it might do with them more tah liking each other. They tried to get together a long time ago in secondary scholl but it did not work out.

Monday came and I still haven't heard from her. So I went to school earlier than usual to try to corner her. She always came to school early and went to hide in the library "to get some peace and quiet", since ahe couldn't get that at home. Her parents were fighting a lot and it didn't help that she was the only child. As I walked to the secret hideout in the library- a place where people " relieved their stress" and sometimes hid from going to lessons, I heard whispers. When I walked into the little closet like space, I saw two people kissings passionately. It was Wendy and Mark. As if feeling my eyes on them she broke the kiss and raised her eyes. Our eyes locked and she widened her's.

"We were just...." They started together.

"Relieving your stress" I asked raising my eyebrows.

Turns out they had been having a secret affair for three weeks and they did not want to tell me so it wouldn't feel weird to me. I told her that I was alright with it, not that they needed my approval. She tried to get me to tell her where I spent the night on friday but I wouldn't. I think she's suspecting that I spent it with Josh, though she wasn't far from the truth.

During lunch time, Josh came to sit with us- a gesture that didn't sit well with Tamara. Everything was going fine until Wendy told us that she thinks someone followed her yesterday but she wasn't sure as when she turned no one was there. Josh and I exchanged knowing looks. He Left after lunch saying he needed to speak to Elaine.

After school, my friends and I walked out of school wondering why who the girls were giving flirty looks to. It was Xavier. When he saw me approaching he smiled his signature smile that made all the girls sigh. Everyone turned to who he was smiling at and when they saw it was me, they all frowned, with the glitz girls giving me dirty looks.

"Who's the hottie?" Wendy asked me.

"Oh! That's Xavier" I told her breaking eye contact from him.

"It seems you guys are quite friendly, I mean I would totally be friends with him. There was I thinking Josh was hot, this guy is sex on legs" she said fanning herself, Mark turned giving her a look. "What? He is!" Xavier gestured for me to come, so I said goodbyes to them, with the promise from Wendy telling me she would get the information out of me later. When I got closed to him, I was immediately, struck with his arousing scent.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him

"Just taking you to your training. I heard from Josh that you have problems...... Transporting" he replied

"Where is he anyway?"

"Who Josh? He is really busy right now" with a last wink to his female audience, he took my hands and led me away. The contact leaving breathless. I didn't want to fall him. I mean I had feelings for Josh, but I don't want to have feelings for two different people at the same time.
