Secrets and Memories

Chapter 2

Oop I forgot to update this again XD New chap!

The dorm room is quiet, big and empty. I see there's a second bed and I internally groan.

From what I could see, this whole school was a little weird. The doors had no handles, everyone had to share rooms and the campus was in the middle of nowhere. I mean, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still a recipe for disaster for me.

Too many people. Too many people able to be harmed by my power. I hated big crowds and gatherings, knowing full well that I might not be able to make it without losing my temper.

With a sigh, I flop on my bed, face first. I don't feel anything as I lie there, just the dull ache of my heart for answers. I wanted them very badly. I needed them.

I'd been alone for too long and I wanted someone to help me. I hated people mostly, but I thought family might be different. I wanted to know where I came from. I wanted to know who I was.

But I couldn't. My memories were clouded in smoke and haze and there was no way to access them. I'd tried every way I could think of, all coming to dead ends. Akarnae was the current idea for me to try, Marselle convincing me to come. I really hoped it was worth it.

"Eraeya? Can I speak to you please?" I groan and sit up, pulling myself toward the door with my darkness. I let the shadows flow back to the dark places once I'm at the door and push my hair out of my eyes. On opening the door, I see a man with a strong build, shrouded in darkness. I debate whether to flick the shadows away but he speaks before I can.

"I am Casper Lennox, your Studies of Society and Culture teacher. But people mostly refer to the class as SOSAC. I'm just here to say that your roommate won't be joining you until after this week. She's been held up and unable to come until then. For this week, you'll have the room to yourself." The shadows swirl around him and I watch them. They mesmerize me and calm me down, like when I go into my abyss.

"Miss, is that okay?" He interrupts my calmness and I flick my hand at his shadows, annoyed. They swirl around him angrily and he stares at them, surprised.

"That's fine. Thank you for telling me." I close the door on him and walk back over to my bed. The sky was getting dark and I was becoming hungry. I decided to take a shower and then head to the food court.

I knew that once the darkness completely enveloped the sky, shadows would be everywhere and I would be able to have more fun with them. I shook my head, vowing to myself to not lose control for the rest of the week. I would keep control, just as I should. Especially over my flames.

My gift may be powerful, but I was the person wielding it. That meant I should be stronger than the gift.
