Power

New Everything

I'm so excited! I, Rose Summers, am going to the elite power institute. I didn't even know I had superpowers till recently. I knew I was counted as a hero in my town cause of the sword but that's it. This is the school where people with powers come to control their powers. We are ranked by power but most people don't take that seriously. Kind of like how in a normal school students are ranked by grading it like that but with powers. I walked through the black gates and onto the campus, it reminded me a bit of a huge college campus. Dorms, fields, classrooms, and the lunch hall all on this enormous property, owned by the school director. I wasn't the only student there. There was a young girl probably my age, 18 or 19, she had long brown hair that she threw into a ponytail. Her bang swept to the left covering part of her dark red eyes. She was a bit pale but didn't seem like she wanted to be there.

"Hello, I'm Rose Summers, I'm new here." I turned to her and stuck my hand out. She turned to me and smiled, which kind of shocked me for the fact her face was a bit disgusted a second ago.

"I'm Indira, you can call me Indi if you want. I'm also new here, want to be roommates? They said we should find one as soon as possible." She spoke smoothly, kind of like a melody. She seemed really sweet so I nodded, hoping that we would become close friends. We grabbed our luggage and headed towards the front doors. As we were nearing the door our luggage started to float. I was a bit worried and I looked over to Indira. Her stuff was floating too, we started to look around when we saw a man standing at the front of the door with a younger man behind him. The man in the front look like he was in his thirties. He had black hair and a smirk. His buddy was blonde and look around our age. His eyes were glowing purple, as if he was the one floating out stuff.

"Hey, jerk can you give us our stuff back please!" Indira yelled at them as if they would listen.

"Show us your power, and then we will think about it." The older man said, smirking while walking towards us. I grabbed my sword from out of the air and pulled it out of the holder.

"Indira please do not show them your power let me handle this. I can only focus on a max of two powers, I need to be ready if the first guy unveils his power." I spoke quietly stepping in front of her. I knew what my power was and I knew that I could only use it if confronted by another with a power. I focused on the blonde boy and his power, feeling his power rolling off of him I absorbed it through the powerful waves. I then focused on elevating both the boys off the floor.

"Put our luggage down." I spoke sternly not in the mood for games.

"Dude she has the same power as me! I've never met someone with my ability. Put us down and we will help you take your stuff to our room." The blonde boy said while hanging upside down. I set them down on the ground, roughly since I didn't quite have a grip of his power. We started walking into the building, the blonde carrying our stuff.

"So we have the same power?" He spoke and I shook my head no. He gave me a confused look and I knew I had to explain.

"Hey, you with the black hair come here. Indira you will want to see this too. Come close I would prefer fewer people know about what I can do," I spoke as we came closer together forming a circle, "what can you do?" I continued by asking the black hair guy.

"I can turn invisible. By the way, I'm Chase and this is Michael." He said and I nodded acknowledging their names.

"Can you activate your power?" I asked and he nodded, his eyes turning completely white before they disappeared as well as his entire body. I smiled finding that so fascinating.

"Okay now what?" He asked us, even though he was still there we couldn't see him. I captured his ability as well.

"You can come back if you want," I said and then brought both of my hands out in the center of our circle, palms facing the roof.

"My power is kind of like a shelf I can capture your power and store it, I still have a bit of your power still left Michael, so now that I have both of your powers watch," I spoke looking at my hands. I reached in my pocket and pulled out a pen. I put it in my left hand and it started to levitate, while my right hand started turning invisible.

"I store your power, I can double your power to use against you, as well as add someone else's power to yours. Cool, huh?" I asked smiling at them. They looked a bit shocked and amazed by everything.

"Your eyes they are black, like completely black." He said and I nodded then rubbed both of them.

"It's the same with you guys when you use your ability they turn a certain color, so when I mix two colors my eyes go black, but when I double someone's power I get a star in my right eye. It's kind of scary to look at. I'm sorry if I've frightened you." I spoke to them deactivating my powers. We continued walking and Chase shook his head walking beside me while Indira and Michael followed behind us.

"No that was really cool, I just hope I'm not your dueling partner. I would get my butt kicked." He said while laughing at the thought of it. I was confused by what they meant by dueling partner but we were at our room before I could ask.

"Well here you are, we will be headed to the coronation in a few minutes, so get settled and be in the dormitory in ten minutes." They spoke as they walked away from us. I opened the door and used the last bit of Michael's power to bring our luggage into the room.

"Isn't your power just cheating? Don't you have the power of your own?" Indira asked as she started putting her clothes away. It was a small room two beds, two dressers, and a bathroom.

"I mean I guess it is like cheating, but it's not my fault I have it. And as of right now I don't know if I have any other power, "I spoke unpacking my stuff while trying not to seem defensive. We sat in silence until we had to leave, our walk there was also silent. We sat in chairs towards the back.

"Welcome, and congratulations on getting in. You are all hand-picked, strong and weak, you are here for one reason, to learn your ability to the maximum power. You will be paired up with your dueling power and you both will use each other to get stronger. We will start naming you off in your pairs. Please be patient, once you are paired go out the exit you will be faced by a teacher who will talk to you both about why you were paired. Thank you. We will start with Tanya and Tina...." She continued stating kids names two by two kids kept leaving the room with each other.

"Rose Summers and Blake Daniels," she said my name and I stood up. I kept hearing whispers of how unlucky I was because he was supposed to be super powerful, I also heard a few girls say they were jealous because of how cute he was, but mostly how unlucky I was. I walked out following the man that stood up the same as me. He waited by the door and then continued walking when I walked through the door. He was gorgeous, he had a well-built body, his black hair was styled into a fo-hawk, he had a poker face, but it looked good on him. He had icy blue eyes they were really just a light blue if it was a quick glance I would've said they were white. The teacher we met could've been called my mother if we were out in public together. She had red hair that was thrown into a bun, unlike mine that was in two braids. She wore thick black rimmed glasses, while I didn't wear any. We both had hazel eyes and our fair share of freckles, although, she had more than I did. Her teeth were pearly white, and she had two dimples while I only had one.

"Please face each other and activate your powers." She said and stood in front of us. I turned and faced the gorgeous man.

"So you think you can compete with me. I'm the highest ranked in this class. I won't go easy on you just because you're a girl." He spoke to me with a smirk as his eyes lit up with a bright neon blue.  As soon as he activated his power, everyone turned to look at us. They could feel the aura of this mans power fill the room it was extraordinary. I closed my eyes, harnessing his power and then doubling it. I opened my eyes and stared dead at him. He smirks grew, and the power was so strong in the room it could've suffocated someone. Everyone was staring at us commenting about how they can't wait to see our battle at the end of the year. Then I saw in the eyes of our teacher, fear.
