Chapter 3
I perched myself on the ledge of the school roof in the area that over looked the school statue and waited. I looked around the school garden where the statue was placed. I didn't notice anybody unusual until I used my second sight. Letting the light film glaze over my eyes, I scan the terrain with the light blue tint overcoming my vision. In the far right corner of the garden I see the outline of a figure. They seem male and look about 6'5. I don't recognize them and when the blue tint recedes they are now longer visible. That immediately puts me on high alert. I stood on the rafters and crept to the spot on the roof directly behind the invisible figure. I land the 5-floor drop silently and stand letting the colored fog take over my sight again. Slinking behind the mysterious figure I can see the outline of his head twitch in my direction. In an instant the man is pressing me into the wall with his forearm by my neck. The shock of being slammed into the wall made my second sight snapped back like a stressed rubber band. Looking at the man's now visible face I feel a rush of heat flood to my core, despite being thoroughly satisfied less than 2 hours ago. His beautifully tanned face is contorted in distrust and prepped for offense if needed.
Regaining my senses I materialize to the vacant area behind him and dig my knee into his back, forcing him against the wall where I just was. I grab his wrist and lift his arms above his head while keeping my knee firmly planted on the lower half of his spine. "What do you want from me new kid?" I ask in a hard voice.
"I only called you out here to talk. I wasn't expecting you to drop out of the fucking sky." His voice had heavy Italian accent. He was also angry, but I would be too if I just had my ass pinned to the wall by a girl that was a whole head shorter than me.
"Let me rephrase my question." I stated while digging my knee deeper into his back. "What. The fuck. Do you want? I will not ask again."
"Get off of me and I might answer you." He said in just as harsh a tone. Thinking about it I gave him another shove into the brick wall and then released him. I took 3 steps back and motioned for him to explain himself. "I saw what you did this morning." I took a step forward with a clenched fist. He hurried to continue, "My name is Zayne and I am here for you. If you don't come with me, you could die." With that I walked up to him and swung my fist at him boxing him in the side of his head, watching as his body crumpled to the ground in an unconscious heap.
*******
After tying his hands and feet, I hid him behind the tall bushes. Using my calves, I jump to the spot on the roof where I left my stuff. I jumped back to the ground and walked to my truck. Giving up on school for the rest of the day I start the half an hour drive to the gym. I connect my iPhone 7 to my truck's radio via bluetooth and turn on my spotify playlist. 'Famous last words' by My Chemical Romance comes on and I roll down my windows. Lighting a cigarette I wait for the light in front of me to turn green. As I puff away my mind wanders to what possible reason Zayne would show up from nowhere for me. Pressing the gas I turn onto the interstate when I come up to the conclusion that he knows who I am and what I can do. What he if came to me to get to her. I shake that thought away faster then it appeared. There is no way he came for her. He doesn't know about her. No one does.
**********
Stepping out of the bathroom connected to my room with nothing but a towel on my head, I see Zayne standing in the middle of my room. He obviously has powers like me an I already know that he needs me for something, I ignore that fact that he is in my room and saunter past him into my walk in closet. Not bothering to close the door I grab put on a black sports bra and some male boxers. I watch him shuffle around, trying not to look at me, out of my peripheral vision as I bend over to put on the boxers. Letting my now very frizzy hair out of the towel, I sit on my bed and begin to lotions my legs. Deciding to fuck with him a bit I say, "Do my back?" looking directly at him for the first time since I punched his lights out. When he recoiled in shock I threw my head back laughed loudly. "Kidding, kidding." Looking him in the eyes again I say, "But only if you don't want to." When he shook his head and ran his hand through his hair, I laughed again.
Deciding to risk looking at me again he asked in his accent, "What happened to your side?" I stood from my bed and walked over to my full body mirror, turning to look at my side.
"Huh. Guess that slow fucker actually did manage to get a hit in." Turning to face him I grab an over sized tee, hanging off the back of my desk chair, and throw it on. "But it's nothing to worry your pretty little head about. You should see the other guy. And besides, these, "I turn back to the mirror and lift the shirt so I can point to the dark bruises that had formed under the tattoos littered across my body, "will be gone in a little bit anyways." Walking past him again I plop down onto my window seat and motion for my phone and my pack of smokes off my nightstand to glide through the air and make their way over to where I am seated. Not bothering to hide my abilities I take out a cigarette and set I set in between my lips while tapping away on my phone. Setting the tip of my index finger alight, I touch the end on my cig and inhale deeply while smothering the small fire on my finger. Flicking my hand I force my window open and breathe the smoke out letting the light breeze carry it away. Texting Rue I ask him, "Well? Are you gonna stand there all day or sit down and start speaking?"
He sat on my desk chair and ran his hand through his hair again. I watch his muscles flex as he did and absent-mindedly licked my lips. Finally speaking he asks, "Does none of this phase you? Is this all a game to you?" I look at him and watch as he works himself up.
Waiting until he calms down a bit I tell him, "This has never been a game," I continue darkly, "and even if it was, I have lost more than you would think possible while playing. So you have no right to enter my room uninvited and yell at me." He looks away and takes a deep breath. "You still haven't told me what the fuck you want." I remind him.
"I already told you my name and why I was here. However, I never got to finish explaining my self." He said with a low growl.
Resisting the urge to laugh again I say, "Well then here is your chance."
He looks at me with an emotion I can't discern but keeps speaking nonetheless. "I come from a school of sorts. At that school we teach and protect those who have unusual abilities and traits that might make them targets." I wasn't expecting that. He looks at me as if he is trying to see through me for a moment. "Why can't I read you?" This time I laugh out loud. He shakes his head again and goes on. "I am a part of a team that goes out and looks for people who fit that criteria." I hum and nod, satisfied with his answers. "You aren't going to ask how we found out about you?"
"I already know how you found out."

Over winter break
"C'mon girl I know you want to. You've been asking for it all night, with that tiny dress and red lipstick, dancing all over the place just being to be fucked. Don't get all shy now you fucking tease." The man said in a low voice while groping onto the poor girl in the seat next to me at the bar. I looked over slightly to assess the situation. The strawberry blond girl didn't look a day over 17 and she could barely keep her eyes open. I look at the time on my phone and see it is 11:58 pm.
Taping the bar twice I got the attention of the bartender. "Sazerac." I slid my fake ID in his direction before he went to go make my drink. Watching the slimy bastard pull the girl away from the bar and make their way through the crowd, I slapped a twenty on the counter and downed my drink in one go before slamming the glass down on top of it. "Another. And keep an eye on it for me. I've gotta deal with something." I stalked over to the exit where I had seen the man drag the girl just moments before. The breeze from the winter air played in my hair as I marched to where the man had propped the girl against the wall with the man covering her mouth with his hand. "Do you need any help Miss?" I asked from about 3 feet from where they stood. The girl's head rolled towards the sound of my voice. Her nose was red from the cold and her make-up ran down her face as she cried unable to defend herself or speak. She just looked into my eyes and I knew I was going to need more than just another bourbon when this was all over.
"You wanna take her place pretty lady?" The pig slurred while sliding his hand under her dress. "I could show you a good time too." The girl's eyes were now red from crying and the tears poured down faster than before. In an instant I had my hand around his throat, holding him in the air, letting his toes barely scrape the ground.
"You could fucking try." I growled while squeezing his windpipe. Tossing him away I looked at the girl who was now in a ball on the ground unconscious. Looking around for witnesses I saw that there was none. I made my way toward the blubbering heap of a man and stomped penis first, then on his leg, hearing the bones break. He let out a pained yell, now completely sober. Crouching down beside his head I grabbed him by the neck again and teleported to the cliff overlooking the ocean. Standing at the very edge of the cliff I let his legs flail around above the chasm leading to the sea. "You remember this very moment every single time you even let the thought of taking advantage of someone else." I loosened the grip I had on his neck a bit a brought my face close to his. "I will find you and I will kill you the next time you so much as look at another woman the wrong way. You got that."
He nodded his head frantically with hot tears streaming down his slightly purple face. I tossed him on the grass behind me listening to him wheeze and groan as he tried to handle the pain. Cradling his leg he said you are gonna regret this you freaky ass bitch. I will tell the whole world about you."
Turning to face him sharply I kicked him in the same spot he was holding onto his leg. He flew down the hill the cliff was perched on screaming bloody murder the whole way down. I materialized in front of his figure, and brought my face down beside his. "And if you do that, how, pray tell, would you explain my reason for attacking you in such a personal, intimate way?" He grimaced and closed his eyes as I lowered my face even closer to his. With only a breath in between us I set my fingertip alight and pressed the flaming finger into his chest and said, "You sir, are now on my list. Try me motherfucker. I will fucking kill you. Fucking try me."
Teleporting back to the place in the alley I left the girl, I checked her pulse. It was slow, but there. I carrier her into my arms and hailed a taxi. I laid her in the back seat and told the cabby, "Take her strait the hospital. Do not stop for anything." I slid him 3 twenty-dollar bills and slapped the top of the car. "Go. Now."
Walking back in the bar I sit and look at my phone again. It is 12:02. I grab my drink and down it again. I knocked on the bar twice and tell the bartender, "Another."
----------------------------------------------------------
"What ever happened to that man anyways?" I asked, already know good and well his fate after that night. Zayne knows that I know what happened but he humored me anyways.
"He was intercepted my one of our agents when he tried to confess to what happened that night." He looked at me. "When started to speak about what you did he began to sweat profusely and smoking like a burning light bulb, as if he was being cooked from the inside out. When he mentioned the mark he burst into flames before he could even explain it fully." I hummed the nodded and then took another drag of my cigarette. "You caused that didn't you?"
"I don't know. Did I?" I ask with a coy smirk. "Ok I'll confess. But in all fairness I did warn him, so it's not completely my fault." He looked at me in such disbelief. I leaned my head back and exhaled slowly with my eyes closed. By the time I opened them back up, Zayne was gone.
