*Rick's POV*

She looked so worried when Miles told her about going into heat but if she wasn't ready then no way would I take advantage of that. But the only problem is that I have seen a few fire users go into heat over the years and they could't keep their hands off each other no matter how hard they tried, some even went and sat in a freezer for a few hours but the freezer didn't make it... Her heat just got worse but hopefully with Gabbie having ice as an extra may either make it better or worse so we will just have to play it by ear.

I looked down at the girl before me and I couldn't help that my eyes wondered down her sleeping figure, she was small in height with an hour glass figure. She was no where near stick thin and may even be considered as chubby but to me she just seemed huggable aka. Perfect. Her hair was a light brown border-line blonde that fell down in waves towards her mid back. It looked as soft as it felt. As I was looking at her features she began to frown in her sleep so I quickly took her to my room and lay her on the King-sized bed before carefully sitting on the edge and burying my head in my hands.

She was a powerful person, but she doesn't seem it. She doesn't talk and I have a feeling that it's to do with the past that always haunts eyes, that stops her from being happy. One minuet she will be smiling and then the life inside her will turn off...Like a light bulb. Hopefully some day she will tell me what happened I mean not everybody has the perfect life but her's seemed worse from the usual messed-up students that arrive here. For one thing she managed to gain and master her powers to some extent in the first day that she has been here. That could mean many things but personally I think the person that caused Gabbie to be this way, so depressed and frightened is here and that just set the alarms off in her body as if she will need them to protect herself again.

I hear her roll over on to her side with a sigh and reach a small tender hand and placing it on my back before relaxing completely. It was amazing to see the effect I had on her.

Wait... If she just got her powers that means that she will go to the Extra-Power Ceremony tomorrow. I remember going to mine and I found out that my extra power was super speed. Yeah it's not much but it's something. Almost everyone else gets speed, strength, intelligence or a mythical companion. But for almost fifty years nobody has got the wings whether they be fallen angle wings or Angel of The Light. The people with the strongest souls are granted this power so it is not given out lightly.

The choosing ceremony is in front of the whole power user side of school. You stand at the front of the assembly hall with little tables surrounding you in a circle. Each little table has a wooden slab on it about the size of an iPhone. Each piece of wood is identical so you cant just pick the one that you want, you stand in the centre and close your eyes then take a deep breath.  Focus on you inner self and allow yourself to move with an arm in front of you before you feel a tugging sensation over a particular wooden slab. That wooden slab will tell you your extra power. Depending what your powers is will tell you how long it will be before you gain the power fully. Speed and things like that take a few days whereas the wings may take up to a few weeks if not months and is said to be highly painful, drains you of energy. If the person has a power pair then they will not feel as weak.

"Ri...ck?" I hear in my mind and turd wide eyed to the mind that it came from,

"Yeah Gabbie?"  "Come lie with me, I don't like being alone I have nightmares"  I do as I'm asked and lie down wearing just my bottoms,  almost instantly Gabbie curls up in my arms with her head on my chest and her hand on my heart as if she was making sure I am still alive. Her hand rests on my Tattoo and there is a slight burning sensation, it doesn't hurt or anything it just feels strange. Like the warmth you feel from a hug from your mum after the first day of school, or a sip of hot chocolate after a day in the snow. It was the feeling of love. The Tattoo brought me to her.
