Hidden Secrets: Chapter Four

Branch laid down on his bed. He closed his eyes and sleep.

2:58 am
Branch started to move sideways alot. He's sweating alot from the pain from his hands.

Finally, he opened his eyes and sat up, looking at his hands. There's some sort of crystal ice on both of his hand, but how did he get it? He investigated the ice more and noticed frost smokes coming from it. But somehow his hands doesnt seem cold as ice.

But it seemed familiar to him so Branch got out of bed and went to his bookshelves. He took a book from it. He sat down and tries to put the crystal from the table, but it wasnt getting off. He had no choice but to hold it while reading. It took him couple minutes until he found a crystal the same as he have. Branch started to read aloud.

"To those who woke up with this crystal, you've been cursed with the power that's shown below." Branch stopped for a moment to freak out. Power? Cursed? He tried to calm down by inhaling and exhaling deeply and slowly. He then continued to read.

"So red crystal is fire, white is wind, and blue is ice.. So I got the ice one?" Branch asked himself. Suddenly the book he's holding is slowly getting freezed. He immediately dropped the book. Thinking about stuff.

If I make one mistake I would hurt Poppy again.. If anyone finds out they'll hate me.. I need to control it before it hurts anyone. Branch picked the book up hoping it wont cover up with ice. Luckily, its not. He sighed in relieve then finds out how to control the power. "Every power is mostly controlled with emotions and focus. Anger/Fear/Embarresed or Awkward will trigger the power by force. Calm/Happy will be fully controlled by the holder. Focus would make it easier to control"

Branch closed the book. And went to the elevator to try out the powers. He wouldnt want to mess up and destroy his home.

He arrived to the surface and looked around incase if someone is there. But who would be in 3 AM? Branch started walking to an appropriate place to practice.

He went to a cliff, and looked at the sky for a moment, admiring the sky full of stars. He shook his head and continued to do his task.

Branch put down the book, then tried to put his left and right hand together, trying to focus. Suddenly a strike of ice burst around the place, making Bramch fall down and breathing heavily. "This is going to be harder than I thought"

6:05 am
After a couple moments of learning to control it, Branch finally decided he should stop for today. He grabbed his book and went back to his bunker.

He decided to play with the powers a little while walking back to his bunker. He waved around his hand and made some snow. Making trails of snow behind him while walking.

Few minutes later he arrived back to the bunker and stopped playing with the power.

Expecting a little that Poppy might be waiting to open the trapdoor thinking he's inside. And he was right. Poppy kept saying "Branch are you in there?!" on the trapdoor. While Branch hoped she won't see the trail of snow since he doesnt know how to undo it.

Branch cleared his throat. "Poppy what are you doing" he asked calmy while raising a brow. Poppy jumped for a moment, "Wait- what are you doing outside your bunker the whole time?" Poppy asked. Branch couldnt tell her he was learning his power, not yet. "Well I was just- staring at the sky" Branch laughed nervously, hoping she would take it.

"Oh well that kinda makes sense, anyways are you free? I wanted to hang out"
"Well, yeah but we literally hang out everytime now." Branch rolled his eyes and smiled a little. "I just like hanging out with you" Poppy smiled. Then looked at Branch, noticing a book with him.

"Is that a book? Whats inside it?" Poppy asked excitedly, wanting to see what Branch is reading. "Uh, well its private-" Poppy cutted off Branch when she took it from him. "Hey give it back!" Branch yelled, snatching the book back. "Sorry Im just curious.." Poppy looked down at the ground.

Branch sighed, "Well, lets go inside" Branch said, opening the trapdoor. Poppy nodded excitedly and went in with him.
