Fragmented

Investigation

After Evelline reads the book she has found, she is perplexed to discover the truth about many things.

- Your name was Evelline Armstrong all this time and you didn't know? - asked Ethan, very curious.

- No! My name has always been Evelline Piwbrins, I am registered like that! How could I have been born into an Armstrong family? - Evelline replied with her hands on her forehead.

- But that was what your grandmother said wasn't it? She said that you were the Armstrong family and that you had powers, how did you not notice this before ?!

- It's hard to say, but a part of me seemed to already know about it, so it sounded like irrelevant information up to that moment.

Ethan scratched his head, still very confused.

- What did you read in that book?

She stopped for a moment and explained:

- Ethan, I appreciate your help and for being with me when I needed it most, however, I can't involve you in this.

- Evelline, I've been in this since the beginning, I'm already involved, I'm going with you until the end.

- NO, I can't be a coward like that with you, I need to deal with this alone, I can't be cruel to the point of putting you at risk.

- But Evelline, what it costs to tell ...

- If I tell you, I'll give them what they want!

- WHO?

- Ethan, please stop!

Ethan was silent for a moment.

- I need to be cautious, I know that if they go after you, surely you would be able to beat them, but then your life would be hell, please let me take care of it!

Ethan didn't seem at all pleased with that, but he still agreed:

- What can I do then? Good luck.

He got up and went out towards the burned house door, Evelline went after him and took him by the arm and said:

- Forgive me, Ethan.

And he just nodded and left.

Evelline had the perfect opportunity in her hands, it was dawn, and that day was Saturday, she needed to take care of her studies without wavering and also fix the Saviors, with the next day being free of studies, she could investigate for two days in a row.She sat on a chair and started thinking about what to do first, she had thousands of options on where to start, but the only thing she was sure of was that Ethan needed to be safe, he would also be taking a serious risk if was beside her on this mission, apart from that it was directed at the Armstrongs, so she needed to take care of it alone.

She was still thinking, sitting there in the middle of the house completely burned, when she started to hear voices:

- EVELLINE, EVELLINE!

She turned around looking for who was calling her, but there was no one.

- EVELLINE!

But seeing no one, she decided to ignore it and left, leaving her grandmother's house exactly as it was when she arrived, taking only the book she had just read.

On the street, not even the poles were connected anymore, the sun was starting to come out, and since there were no taxis circulating at that time, Evelline decided it would be a good time to start using her powers, she put the book under her arm, closed her eyes and concentrated, she felt her active power, and tried to fly.She gave a mini boost and felt her feet coming off the floor, when she opened her eyes and tried to look down, there was blue energy surrounding her under her feet and then she stopped concentrating, touching the floor again.

- This is going to be very radical! - Evelline said to herself, seeing what she was about to do.

Then she activated her powers again and tried to give a big boost, which made her shoot very high, being possible to even go through about 5 buildings.

- YOOOHOOOO! - she shouted excitedly.

- Let's try something a little more exciting!

The young woman concentrated, and shot like a jet towards some arches that were at the top of a building, she loops, tries to cross them and succeeds, but in the middle of this game, she left the book under her arm it fell, and he was about to fall into a lake that was in the building's lobby. And Evelline tries to get down as fast as possible to grab the book, and she passed many windows in the building, the residents were all too sleepy to see anything, and the book fell faster and faster, and Evelline hurried, trying to control and focus on her powers, but at that rate, she would never reach the book, so she stops on a balcony of a building and tries to concentrate to hold the book with her powers, she tried to make hand signals, trying to call the book back, and time was passing, some more and the book would sink into the lake.

She focuses with all her strength and finally manages to hold the book, a blue aura was around him, the girl immediately pulls the book up on the balcony she was on, and it came like a bullet to her hands, when the young girl finally holds it, she comes to a conclusion:

- I think it is better to improve myself before I want to fly around.

She takes a deep breath, relieved.

Until the balcony door opens, and a girl comes out wrapped in a bath towel and with a brush in her mouth:

- Who are you? How did you get here?

And Evelline realizes that it was time to leave, and jumps off the balcony of the building, and the desperate woman goes to the edge and tries to look down, but sees nothing.

Meanwhile, in fact, Evelline was after her, apparently she also had the power to create illusions, and the woman was there still looking, when the girl snuck out the door and took an elevator.The day was already clear, and Evelline arrived at her apartment, locking the door and dropping the book on a small table and then herself on the sofa.

She gets up, changes to her pajamas, prepares a good coffee and starts to read the book, she set up a mural in her room, where she would put the main clues and suspects, setting up puzzles and going after evidence elsewhere, she did this for a long time.

Evelline was improving her powers every day, following some clues that the book gave, she was already able to manipulate objects with her mind, create illusions, and with a little more training, she would be able to control minds too, what she already thought was a little too much.

The young woman was also getting better and better in her studies, but all this effort wore her out, and she had to review her routine plans several times.She became stronger and stronger, smarter, and set up her plan every day, and she did it for a long time, having the help of the voices that occasionally spoke in her head.
