Auras

Chapter 7: Watchers

"Why?" Hannah asked as she stood up.

"What's wrong?" Carl asked as I could sense him tense up.

"Code 930," I whispered announced. No one said anything and we waited a few minutes in absolute silence. "We're clear."

"What was that about?" Brandon asked confused.

"Twenty Watchers were up there," I replied before taking a bite of a sandwich.

"What's Code 930?" Bailey asked.

"It creates a loud noise down a random tunnel, leading them away," I replied.

"How did you know twenty Watchers were up there?" Mason asked.

"I saw their auras, Watchers have... unique auras and so do Protectors and SAs," I replied.

"Oh that makes sense, so I guess you can always tell when Watchers are around," Bailey said.

"Not always, some have the aura of a normal or even a Protector, but thankfully they haven't found out a way to disguise themselves as SA," I replied.

"So I guess you're always on the lookout," Ashley said.

"I've learned to be very cautious, and Hannah and Carl are here to help as well," I replied.

"So are you going to train them again?" Carl asked me.

"I have literally just woken up and you're already asking me to get back into it? Carl I'm going to start calling you Chief if you keeping acting like this. And to answer you question yes and no. I need to work with Mason and they need to start their combat training," I replied, "Hannah, Carl you guys can handle combat while I work with Mason."

"Okay, we'll start right after lunch," Hannah replied, she knew not to push me when I had just woken up. Soon we were done eating and we all headed up to the training.

"Have fun guys, and don't worry they'll go easy on you," I said as they followed Hannah and Carl into the room, Mason stayed by my side.

"Wait we're actually going to fight them?" Ashley asked.

"Of course, the best way to learn is by doing. Ashley, you're exempt from this, so just watch," I answered. 

"Why?" she asked.

"You're a Healer, it's natural for you to not want to fight and even if you tried you have little talent for it. Plus if we ever get in a fight I need to make sure you don't get hurt. So have fun watching your friends get taken down by a couple old timers, come on Micheal we're going somewhere else," I explained before I walked away, Mason followed me. We eventually got to a sitting room. "Sit down."

"Okay," he replied.

"Now close your eyes," I ordered.

"This sounds like you're training me," he said.

"It has the same beginning," I replied, "Now, your aura is the color of control, but you do not want to control others."

"I know this," he interrupted

"Don't interrupt," I said, "Now open your eyes and look at me. Orange isn't only control, it's inspiring and up lifting. Your ability is control, but that does not mean you want to control everything and everyone. Maybe you want to inspire people or make sure they are happy. The most important thing is to accept what your heart feels," I put my hand over his heart, "And by doing that you except your aura. This might be difficult and it might take a long time, but I'll be here as long as you need me."

"I think understand now," he replied.

"Good, we can sit here for a little while and just think," I said as I closed my eyes. After a while I heard something and opened my eyes.
