Shining Heroes

Chapter 23

Once I made it outside her office I noticed there wasn't anyone in the halls at all. Which made me slightly nervous.

"Miss Frost." The director smiled at me as she opened the door to her office. "Please come in."

"Ok..."

I warily peaked in her office and saw it was empty. Minus a glass of wine on the coffee table.

"Please sit." She motioned towards a chair before sotting down with her arms crossed.

She had a very different tone to her than the first few times we met. It was kinda like she was trying to give me orders while trying to be friendly.

I sat down in the chair across from her like before.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked nervously.

"Have you done anything to get you into trouble?" She reached forward and grabbed her glass of wine. "I'm sorry would you like one?"

"No thank you."

Only an idiot would say yes to her offer.

"I asked you here because I have a few questions." She smirked as she took a sip.

"Ok. I'll answer what I can."

"Well we should start off with your family history. What do you know about your family?"

"My dad's name is Eugene Frost."

"No, I mean your birth family." She held her hand up to stop me.

"Theres not much I know. They spoke French and English. I was told they died in a car accident when I was four." I tried to think of everything I could. "I remember I was named after my grandmother."

"Is that all you remember?"

I bit my lip as I tried to think of anything I could remember.

"I was really young, so I guess I forgot over time." I shrugged my shoulders. "I never really asked about them because it use to make me sad missing them."

"That's a shame." She muttered before she abruptly stood up. "It's probably for the best."

I could tell if I asked anything she wasn't going to tell me what she meant. Adults seem to have that tendency.

"It's less to be sad about."

She gulped the rest of her glass of wine before walking over to a cabinet and pulled out a half empty bottle.

"How do you feel about Melodic Mood?" She asked while pouring herself another glass of wine.

I froze when I heard her question. "Can you repeat your question?"

"Sorry did I not ask loud enough?" She asked as she walked back over. "I asked, what do you think of Melodic Mood?"

So I did hear her right.

"She seems nice enough and very helpful. It's odd how out of all of the recruits she's the only one I saw until yesterday."

"Good I'm glad she is making you feel welcomed." She set the wine glass down in between us. "But as for the other recruits. We learned your powers are mostly enhanced by your emotions. She's the only one that can guarantee those stay in check incase your PCR still has issues."

"Like the situation with the darts?"

"How do you feel now? I heard it started a bit of a fight."

I shrugged my shoulders. "I've had worse I guess."

"Well its good your not too hurt. It would seem those darts caused your body to try  and fight off the chemicals, so you spontaneously  combust."

I wasnt sure how to respond to that, so I remained quiet.

"Before I send you off I do have a favor to ask of you." She stood up slowly this time and leaned against my chair. "I want you to act as bait for the villain that's been after you."

"Why would you want me to do that?" I shot up out of the seat and moved closer to the door.

"I've changed your lockdown date and it ends Friday. I believe there is a mole and I need go find out who it is. Otherwise she will continue to search for you." She stated quiet coldly. "We have a higher chance of catching her, but of course we wont use you as bait without your permission, so I'd like you to think about it."

She slowly began to usher me towards the door.

"For now you were challenged by another student. I cant have you being made a fool of so I have someone who is going to test you're fighting skills."

I didnt even notice the door had been opened back up and before I could respond it was closed in my face.

"So I guess that just happened..." I mumbled to myself as I turned away from the door.

I glanced at my phone and I was given the orders to head to the training room immediately.

When I got there I saw it was full of all of the yellow and orange shirt recruits, plus Melodic Mood.

I stopped to stare whole she was sparing with a boy with light brown shaggy hair.

It almost felt wrong to watch the boy lose the fight to her because she was atleast three times faster than him, plus she had her eyes closed. She perfectly dodged two swings and caught his third swing at her, before she kicked his legs out from under him.

"Maybe you'll win next time." She smiled before helping the boy to his feet.

"Shining Dragon, right over here please." A man dressed in a grey jumpsuit said as he waved me over to him. "I didn't have you come here so you could watch others spar."
