She Knows

Chapter 4

　School went on like this for the past week, with me getting her PE uniform and my lunch group getting pretty close. Except for the fact that Luke has been pretty protective of me for some reason, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do with a crush. Suddenly, during lunch, Julia randomly suggested our group ate in the library.

'Hey Denise, I think it's time we told them about the Wraiths and Guardians.' Julia thought, as if Denise can read minds like I can.

After mind-dropping on this, my attention was instantly perked by hearing 'Wraith' and how Denise nodded her head, as if she could also hear her thoughts somehow.

　As we headed to the library, which I found out was room 240, we all took a seat near the back and I was next to Luke and Liza with the others across from us.

"Sooo.... why'd you want us to come here?" Luke whispered to Julia, but the room was empty, with it being lunch and all.

"Well... Deni, you wanna begin?" She chuckled nervously as she glanced at Denise.

"If I have to. We have to tell them sometime..." Denise started. "We know about your abilities, Nik. Your able to read minds since you've met Luke here, right?"

"Excuse me? Your trying to say that his freakiness has rubbed off on me!" Just because I like to be able to read minds doesn't mean I want everyone to know about it! And how in the fucking hell does she know that!

"Anyways, your not exactly human. Well, Nikki, Liza and I are what we call a Reaper, a type of wraith, and we can tell by your eyes so we aren't mistaken. Wraiths are actually descendants of the fallen angels who have been gifted with special abilities. I've gotten telekinesis since I have met Julia, my Guardian, and you, Nikkole, now have telepathy, since you've met Luke. She'll get into the whole 'guardian' thing later. Anyways, there are two kinds of wraiths. The actual Wraiths who've decided to become fallen like their ancestors, who were trying to corrupt all the humans and become the top of the food chain. And then there are the Reapers, the non-corrupted wraiths, the ones who have taken the job of killing the packs of Wraiths that are still remaining. I know you guys aren't for the whole killing thing, but they are the ones who are trying to kill the remaining innocents of this world and have been foreseen to have unpure intentions. I know I might've forgotten some stuff, so just ask later if it doesn't make any sense."

"What the heck do you mea-"

"Nyup. My turn." Julia smirked and then started her history lesson. "So, Guardians. We, Luke, are the decendants of the guardian angels of past Reapers. Only they get guardians 'cause their soul is genuinly good and the big man in the sky said they they have pure intentions, and bringing the Wraiths to death and stuff don't count since their doing the world a favor. You won't remember about this stuff until you have acepted the responsibility of being Nikkole's guardian. There are some perks by the way, once you've accepted you also get abilities. Like, I'm able to extract venomous claws, thats why I have such long nails. I also have telepathic torture, self describable, and we all have telepathy towards our Reaper. We can't know yours unless you accept. I'm not repeating this again, understood?"

Are they serious? I read them and they were as serious as a heart attack. Since I already knew I was adopted at 3, it wasn't much of a shocker as it must have been for Liz and Luke. I stared at them for awhile and it seemed they already knew about their adoption too.

"This is gonna be fun!"
