" El your the one".

The

One

I liked him but not that much, I stare at him, unable to process everything that is happening around me.

"El." He is staring at me, I still have no idea what to say back to him. The. One.
"Hmm?", I think that's better to say than nothing. He shakes his head and then looks at the floor.
"Not that one, The One. " he says it like it's supposed to be different. I just stare at him, what the hell is going on?

" the One El, is the leader Instruction. The queen bee to the hive. There's other leaders but none have the power you do. All the Instruction will follow you, you have the amount of abilities for the job, you are the One."

Everything swirls into my brain at once, the one, the abilities, the Instruction.

"Where are the rest of us? How many Instruction have abilities? Why isn't anyone telling me the whole story", I didn't mean to sound so desperate, so needy to know this information but I needed to know. If I'm the "One" I have a right to know and another thing. Why is Clay the leader if he only has one ability?

"Okay.." His voice trails of and I find myself grasping into every word that he says, his face has an expression that says how do I say this? "There's a lot of Instruction out there, but they- lost hope. It was taking us to long to find you, so they gave up. Your dad is the leading man out there at the moment. We just found contact with them and they seem well- shocked. We've found a way to Skype call them so you can talk to your dad..." I stop listening.

I don't want to talk to my dad, if he is the other leader than why do they need me? Apparently he will train me to be the best leader out but he can't just lead for me?

".. But El you can't give up". He finishes and I feel kind of bad for not listening to the whole story, but oh my gosh his face at the end that says " I'm sorry" is adorable. I have no idea why he is making that face but I really don't care.

"Elizabeth!!", someone screams my name, my head immediately snaps into attention. " El! Where are you?" The voice comes out panicked and without thinking I start running to the sound of the voice, it doesn't take me long to realise it's Ben.

When I turn around the corner and I see him sitting on the floor curled up into a ball, I rush up to him.
"Ben I'm here, what's wrong?", my voice sounds panicked, my eyes are screaming at him to hurry up and answer, I look at his face. Tears streaming. Oh god, has he remembered?
"It's Rose..." His voice trails off and as if in that minute my worst fear comes real. My best friend is in danger.
"What about her?!", I scream at him. Clay runs around the corner, worry dripping of his face.

"They found her El."

He didn't have to say anything else, I was running out the door towards- where am I?

"El! Slow down! We'll find her and offer her protection!", Clays running after me and I turn around to face him.
"What happened to her?!", by the look on his face I know he knows," why didn't you tell me? Are you an idiot or something!!", anger from being out in the silent corner is outing out of my mouth. I feel my hands burning and The wind around me getting stronger. 

" it's true, the Rions found her, look we don't know what their doing to her but all we know is their looking for you", it's my fault. She is in danger and it's my fault.
"But your not strong enough to fight them  yet." He says matter of factly.

" what the hell do you mean? Something is wrong with my best friend and your telling me that I can't go after her? How did you guys find out anyway? Have you kept in contact with my friends and family when I'm not allowed? What the hell! You better tell me everything you know right now Clay and I mean it!".

" Ben found out, don't ask us how but he did. They have her and all they are doing is asking questions about your where abouts. I don't think they would hurt her but.... El....." His voice trails off and I want to punch him that's when I realise my hands are on fire, the fire is in little balls and the wind around us is getting stronger and stronger.

" but what?", my anger is obvious, I want to hurt someone but I don't know who. Clay is in front of me....

"We found your dad, we're going to them tonight, them well go for Rose and anyone else when we know your safe okay?". At this piont I'm thinking of how to hide bodies.

" there's something else!" I bite on the swear word that's at the tip of my young, resisting the urge to put him in flames. "I swear if you don't tell me everything I will happily find you a grave spot!". I wouldn't kill him but it's funny to see his face change into pure fear.

Normally I wouldn't get this snappy, I would try to see the situation from the other persons point of view. But I'm not myself today.

You see I live with one rule to every one surrounding me. Hurt me, fine, touch any one I care about you better run.
Knowing now that I can hurt them more than a normal person puts a smile on my face, I really could hurt people.

Why on earth am I thinking like this? I can't hurt anyone no matter how angry I am, I can't.

"Clay." My voice is begging with him to explain why I'm so angry, but of course he wouldn't have a clue about what's going on in my mind. "Why am I so angry?", I'm crying. A lot. For once I'm not thinking I'm leaning fully on someone else to think. I don't know why, but I need an explanation.

" it's normal. I don't know why but it's normal for an Instruction with developing abilities to get angry, but please El. If we don't tell you anything it's for your protection", for once he's showing emotion, a tear escapes his eyes and I pull him into a hug without thinking it through. We cry harder and harder into each other's shoulders.

Why again are we crying?

I think it's stress but I don't know. All I know is I'm crying because I want all of this to end. But hey I'll get to meet my dad soon. Yay me.
