? IMMORTAL ACADEMY ??
{Melting His Icy Heart}
Episode 5
Tanner walked into the hospital room, looking so gloomy.
He walked over to his sister's bed and sat beside her.
Tanya stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled on seeing her brother.
"Hey." Tanner said softly, touching the visible strands of her hair which had come loose from her band.
"It's morning already?" Tanya said weekly, looking around. She sat down and realized it was really morning.
"How are you feeling?"
"Great. Hey ....you look sad. Don't get worried about me. I'm fine." Tanya tried to cheer him up.
"I'm sorry I couldn't check up on you yesterday. Could you believe mom didn't wanna tell me you are at the hospital?
"I persuaded her this morning and she opened up.... she told me what happened.
"She's afraid you might join the deadly academy where special ability people go to stay." Tanner spoke sadly and it only made Tanya's eyes watery.
"I'm not going there,Tanner. I can't." She mumbled and Tanner brought her close hugging her.
The door opened and Morena came in smiling.
"Just finished speaking with doctor Kyle. We can take Tanya home now. Oh baby..stop the tears." Morena cooed, going forward to hug her too.
Tanya nodded, glad that she could go home again.
Tanya has never been so frightened. She dreaded what she might see next and it was so sickening!
★(Three days later)★
Morena parked beside the school gate and waited for Tanya to get off the car. She finally did and walked to the front door to bared her another goodbye.
"Be good darling! I will be here on time to pick you up."
"Okay mom." Tanya said and cheerfully run towards the school gate.
"Oh no " she mumbled, looking at her wrist watch.
It was Wednesday and she had not been in school after she got back home from the hospital.
She walked into the class, wondering if Riley and Eddie were in.
They did not come around to see her at the hospital or at home and it was bothering her real bad.
The class was still scanty and her friends were not in too.
She decided to sit down and wait for them so they could get breakfast together.
Minutes later,some students walked in talking loudly.
Tanya beamed, seeing her two friends among the students.
She stood up and waved. "Hey guys!"
Eddie and Riley stopped and looked at Tanya as she waved.
Tanya stopped smiling as she noticed their reluctancy.
They walked towards her anyways but their actions were loud enough.
"Hi guys! Is everything...okay?" Tanya asked, looking at their silent faces.
"You should not be here Tanya. You don't belong here." Riley snapped and Tanya looked at her, shocked.
"Hold on a minute...is this about what happened in my room?" Tanya scoffed.
"Yes it is, Tanya and I advise you go join the academy on time. Mist people can't control their powers and it turns out to be disastrous." Eddie chipped in.
Tanya gasped looking at them. "And here I was... thinking you were my friends!"
The teacher walked in and they all sat down.
During the class,Tanya could not stop looking at Eddie and Riley.
It was unbelievably that they would turn against her like this. She wondered how many people she might have told..
"Tanya....I asked you a question." Tanya suddenly heard the teacher and she quickly stood up on her feet.
"I'm sorry Mrs Smirth. I did not ..... heard you."
"Tanya.... what's happening to you?" The teacher asked, stunned at the girl's new found attitude.
Tanya was about talking when it happened again!
In fast motion, the teacher was hit by a stone thrown from outside the class window.
She fell with a scream and collapsed with blood oozing out of her forehead.
Tanya gasped and looked out the window once the vision cleared off.
She glared back at the teacher and screamed. Everyone was startled.
"Please....you have to move... now!!" Tanya screamed out the words, looking straight at the teacher who was suddenly frightened.
Students began to murmur and at that moment,noises erupted from outside.
Tanya was going crazy. She almost collapsed as her breath increased.
"Move! Please!!" She screamed as tears rushed down her face.
Mrs Smith was confused but with the pressure in Tanya's voice,she unconsciously ran out of the spot and almost immediately,a large stone rolled into the air from outside, smashing the wall.
Everyone was stunned.
The teacher especially.

Tanya sat in front of the huge man, Principal Westlake, shaking visibly.
Ever Since the last vision,she has not been her normal self.
"Are you okay now?" Mr Westlake asked, touching her arm.
Tanya managed a nod. "I'm fine."her teeth rattled.
Mr Westlake sighed and wrote something on a sheet of paper then passed it on the table across to Tanya.
She glared at the paper and her mouth dropped slightly open,the she looked up at the man. "Sir..?"
"I'm sorry Tanya Maxwell. You can no longer study here. The students are suddenly weary.... they don't want you around." The principal said and Tanya's eyes filled with painful tears.
Her mouth moved but no words could form out, rather the tears in her eyes came pouring down in a rush.
