Max's POV
I kept quiet even though I had millions of questions. I have always been like that. I was once a cheerful child who had a happy family and had a happy childhood. I was loved and cherished by my parents, grandfather and sister too. But, it all changed one fateful night. The night my parents were killed. After that, my life kept on going down the drain. I had to attend school, then train, then I have to strategize somethings for the future. I also have to go for patrolling the forest at night with our pack to check if it is safe for everyone or not. Then I have to take care of younger wolves to show the elders that I am capable to take care of everyone. Those young wolves are really pain in my ass.
Anyways, Grandpa was sympathising with her, just because she has never seen her biological parents. What about me? Has he never thought that I am also of the same age as her and I also need words of comfort. I also need someone to talk to and share my worries. I also need a shoulder to cry on. Why can't he understand that. I didn't even cry at my parents' death. No, I didn't get time to cry. I decided that I can cry after taking my revenge so, I kept on working hard for it.
Grandpa offered Laura a chance to test her powers. I was not sure why he needs to do that. Why he wants to help an unknown girl with her powers?
Laura thought something for a while and then agreed after confirming that it won't take too much time. She just wanted to return back to her friends. Grandpa ordered me to follow him and I did.
He said, " Go and bring an animal to test. "
"An animal to test what? ", I said. I did not want him to say laser at all.
" Mind reading, fool. Mind reading. ", I relaxed a bit.
I went to fetch an animal and found a rabbit near a tree. I picked it up and brought it to them while the rabbit squealed.
Grandpa asked her to talk to the rabbit and she did. We were all very surprised by it but, she was more surprised than us.
Grandpa then asked her to talk to the rabbit in it's mind and she scoffed. She scoffed at the most respected wolf of the pack and Grandpa didn't say anything. I just stood there surprised.
After talking to the rabbit for a minute or two, she said to Grandpa, " You were right. I can talk to others in mind too. I didn't even know that. "
She was escalated with that and we were all surprised with her powers. Grandpa nodded in agreement.
"Don't tell me that you will ask me to practice laser on the poor rabbit.", she said to us. I smiled thinking that she also thought the same thing I thought when Grandpa told me to bring an animal.
We told her no and Grandpa asked her to try her laser on her nearby tree.
She tried her best to shoot laser on the tree and she did well too. The laser came but it was only of approximately 2 millimetres. I was really surprised and impressed with her powers. I was so fascinated on seeing her laser that I could not speak anything.
I looked at her pretty face. She was sweating because of shooting the laser and disappointment was clearly visible on it. Her eyes were big and black and a strand of hair was stuck on her forehead. She looked really beautifull at that time.
She looked upset that her laser could not reach the tree. She looked at other wolves and they were all as fascinated as me.
"Wow. Cool. "
"That laser was so red. "
"I can't believe I saw a real laser. "
"Woah! "
These kinds of whisper was heard from the wolves of the pack.
That was the moment I decided that I NEED this girl for my plan. I NEED Laura at all cost. I can't let her go when she is so powerful. She can talk in minds,read them, fly, talk with animals too and shoots laser beams. Oh God. This is like hitting a jackpot. But the main question is how?
While I was busy thinking about all this, Laura and Grandpa started talking. I was completely lost in my thoughts so, I don't even know what they talked about. The only thing I heard was that Grandpa allowed me to go with her and help her with her powers. I myself wanted to ask him that but he did it even before I could ask him.
Laura asked me to take her back and I did. We talked on the entire way and I only answered questions asked by her. The only thing that was revolving in my mind was that how can I use her power to my advantage.
