Supernatural

Chapter 4

　　Like Clara had told her, she came to school very early and students hadn’t arrived yet. She followed her energy to the roof. When she got there Clara was on the ledge.

　　“What are you doing?” Daniella asked making her way towards her.

　　“Waiting for you” she replied.

　　Clara turned around and she faced Danny. “Get ready” she said.

　　“Wait a minute. What are we doing?” she asked.

　　“Combat training” she replied removing her blazer.

　　Danny dropped her things. “Alright, but aren’t you going to take-“

　　Her words died down and she could see everything going back. She gasped when she hit the door. Clara dropped her leg.

　　“You’re a mind reader, yet you couldn’t see my attack. A human could beat you” she stated.

　　Danny slid down the door clutching her middle. “I think you broke something” she whispered.

　　“It’ll heal quickly. You would know, but you don’t” she explained. “Now get up!”

　　“How about we just focus on my power than combat?” she asked standing up.

　　“You can’t control it” and she took a fighting stance.

　　“Oh my stars” she whimpered.

　　Clara was in front of her and she ducked before her fist made contact with her face. She tired crawling under her spread legs.

　　Clara grabbed her by her ankle and she was lifted up and thrown towards the ledge and her ribs hit the concrete hard. She coughed hard, but nothing came out.

　　She looked at the gate and it was that boy she sat down close to yesterday and she smiled.

　　“Clara there he is!” she said pointing.

　　“Looks like training is over” Clara said walking towards her and she looked down.

　　“Him” Clara stated.

　　“Yeah. Do you know him?” Danny asked with a smile.

　　“Yeah and you shouldn’t think about it” she said.

　　“Why?” Danny asked.

　　“Because one isn’t meant to go close to fire” she replied already bored.

　　“No wonder his energy is scorching hot” Danny stated excited.

　　Clara looked at her. “You can read energy” she stated.

　　“Yeah, can’t you?” she asked.

　　“I already told you my power Danny. Yours is unique. I haven’t come across anyone with that type of power before” she said standing up straight.

　　“Really?” she asked surprised. It was the first nice thing Clara had said to her.

　　“Too bad you just can’t control it” she said with a sly smirk and if she had her tail it would be moving lazily.

　　‘Spoke too soon’ she thought. “So are we going back to training?” she asked.

　　“No, we’ll save that for later. If I continue, you might die” she said getting her bag and hanging her blazer on her shoulder. “Let’s go” she said.

　　Danny got her things and followed her. She was already feeling better.

　　She followed her down the stairs and back to the floor where they had their first class and the boy was there getting things from his locker.

　　“Why don’t I go talk to him?” she asked.

　　“No” Clara replied placing a hand on her shoulder.

　　“Why?” she asked. “Think of it like combat training. I have to be brave” she said determined.

　　“You’re way in over your head. Is this the first time you’ve seen a guy?”

　　“No. It’s the first time I’m seeing a guy like me. Think of it as combat training. I have to be brave and smart and win” she said already walking forward.

　　Clara leaned against the locker and watched her go. She was going to fail badly.

　　“Hello” she said opening her locker.

　　He didn’t say anything.

　　“I’m Daniella. I’m new here. Nice to meet you” she said turning to him.

　　He still had his face in his lockers.

　　“You are?” she asked.

　　He closed his locker and turned to her. Black met brown and again she was sucked in again. It was so hot. It was just like Clara’s. War, destruction and fire. Much more fire reigning down from the sky and then again Clara crying over a lot of dead bodies and a young boy before her.

　　She was pushed out again.

　　She blinked twice so she could focus.

　　“I am so-“

　　He raised his hand and she closed her eyes expecting a hit, but it never came.

　　Danny opened her eyes. Clara was in between her and the boy.

　　“You hitting girls now Kieran” she said.

　　“What do you want now?” he grumbled.

　　‘Kieran’ she thought memorizing the name.

　　“You were about to hit my friend” she stated.

　　“No I wasn’t. She was looking at me strange and I was just trying to get her to come back” he explained.

　　Clara smiled and she turned around pulling Danny away.

　　‘Epic fail’ Danny thought.

　　During lunch, Clara wanted to continue with her training.

　　“Okay, you’re very lucky Kieran didn’t know that you looked through his mind” she began.

　　“It’d have been alright. I like being close to him” she said dreamily.

　　Clara ignored her. “You read minds, so you can work on it”.

　　“Okay” she said pushing her tray forward.

　　“I need you to concentrate. Pick someone and just look through their mind” she said taking the sandwich from Danny’s tray.

　　“Who?” she asked.

　　“Just pick someone!” she snapped.

　　Danny jumped and looked round. Her big eyes caught sight of the boy who wanted her seat in class. She didn’t need to make eye contact for her to do it though. She knew because she could read her parents mind and also her workers.

　　She focused on his stupid face.

　　“His name is Adrien Hunter, he’s eighteen, wants to be an engineer and he’s thinking about me” and she opened her eyes in shock. “He’s thinking about me!” she yelled in a whisper.

　　“Oh! What is he thinking about?” she asked.

　　“Nothing” she replied.
