Brent (POV)
"What's my job?" I asked
"To think of how the novas found us" Blake answered
"I believe, there is someone inside, giving them information" I said
"But no one knows except mom and.... It was him" Blake answered
"Exactly"
"So where is he now?" Blake asked
"Right here"
The moment I said those words, vines wrapped around a kid at the very back of the classroom.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The kid asked
"You think I didn't notice? When the nova showed up, you weren't scared, and you called the second one by crushing that tiny red ball in your hands and you had two of those balls, that means you can only call one at a time. When the novas died, the other kids had a look of amazement, relief, shock, but only you had fear in your eyes. Now tell me, who else is the rat?" I ended it there.
"Fine, you got me. Now are you gonna kill me?" He asked sarcastically
"Oh no, but I have one question, why did you do it?" I asked
"Haha, you act like you're always on top, you're powerful, great. You act like you're dumb, but you aren't. Do you know how hard it is to be good at something and then someone comes over and snatches it while acting like they did nothing wrong?. I worked really hard to get to where I am right now, not like you sheltered guys who live your life in riches and wait for the right time to snatch away someone else's glory." He said with rage evident in his voice.
BAM!
"What do you mean by sheltered guys? You haven't suffered up to a quarter of what we have. You still have your parents, I didn't even know mine, I didn't even know I had a brother until I was seven. Do you know how that feels?" Blake lost his cool and hit him in the face
Right now, there is no trace of light in my eyes
"Do you know how it feels to see your parents die before your eyes and you could do nothing about it? Do you know how it feels to live in fear, looking over your shoulders so you won't just die? Do you know how it feels to restrain yourself from using your powers or intelligence just so that psycho doesn't find us? And yet, you say you have a hard life? When you just led our enemies right to us!?" I asked
Boom!
I kicked him away , and said while walking towards him slowly
"You say you want to be on top, do you think you can, even if you get rid rid of us? Ha! Don't make me laugh" I dragged him by the hair to the front of the class. I tied him to the wall with vines and turned back to the class.
"You can feel free to throw anything at him, for he has sinned" then I went back to my seat, watching the other kids humiliate the guy. Best moment of my life, until...
"What is going on here?" Ms. Ivory said as soon as she came in. FYI, she's the principal.
"Chris, you're the responsible one here, what happened and where did these vines come from?" She asked
"Ma'am, he is responsible for the attack on the school and attempted murder of the Caesar twins, he is too young to go to jail and there is currently a war going on outside, so we decided to punish him as we see fit. As for the vines, we have no idea where they came from, they just appeared, it's almost like the person wants us to punish him." Chris stated
"Is that what happened class?" She asked
"Yes ma'am"we chorused
"Rachel, how did he bring the beasts here?" Ms. Ivory asked
"Ma'am, by crushing this, we don't know what it is but, when he crushed it the attack began." Rachel picked up the crushed pieces and gave it to ms. Ivory
"Liars, ma'am, the twins, they're mages, they put me here!" That kid started screaming.
"Mages!? How can that be when we can't even get an average score in academics, how are we to use an element and it would still be up now?" Blake said
"Exactly, how is that possible?" I doubled
"I also don't see how that is possible" ms. Ivory said
"Ma'am they're lying! They're lying!!" He kept on screaming as she pulled him out of the class.
The moment she was gone...
"Nice acting Chris and Rachel" I said
"Why thank you, I would love to be an actor(actress) in the future" they said at the exact same time. Now that was creepy.
The rest of the day went by fast, with just simple chatting in the class. We were allowed to go home at night when the fight was over. The gifted joined the fight and overpowered the beast. The first thing we did when we got home, was to check on mom Martha, thankfully she was fine and she was even making dinner.
"Mom, we're home!" We screamed from the door. I don't know when it started but that became a normal thing in this house.
"Oh thank God, you're safe, did you fight? Who found out? Would keep their mouth shut? Or do I need to help them keep it shut?" She asked multiple questions, while squeezing the life out of us
"Mom I can't breathe" I said. That brought her back from worry
"Oh sorry. So..."
"Brent would answer your questions" Blake said
"Firstly, yes we fought in our class, second, only our class knows, third, yes they would keep their mouths shut, they even covered for us at school, lastly, you're not helping anyone keep their mouths shut." I answered all her questions precisely.
"Then that's good" she continued "you must be hungry, come let's eat"
"Yes and we're officially known by the class" we said
