Chapter 2

Amara stared up at me with wide eyes.
"You what?!" She stands and looks down at me.
"You work for TEC?!" She yells, i stand up with her, and grab her shoulders.
"Amara! Calm down!" I say, looking down at her with confusion. Not understanding why she is so upset.
  "Yo-you work for them! Your a kil-" she starts to yell but quickly i take her head in one hand and place my hand over her mouth.
  "Amara. You are going to need to listen very carefully. You are not to speak to anyone about this do you understand? You tell anyone and You and me both will die? You want that?" I say, gently but in a harsh and low toned voice, she stops and shakes her head slightly before moving my hand away.
   "Why do you even bother? You hardly even know me." Amara mumbles, looking away, her jaw clenched. I gently grab her face and make her look up at me.
    "I know every single living thing on this compound... Amara, You're different, and i like that about you. You're also hurt, and i want to make sure your okay and possibly even get you taken care of. Then i would like to talk to you about you join us." I say, a hell of a lot more gently this time. her eyes glance up at me and i catch her eyes and hold them as tightly yet gently at the same time. She sighs, and shakes her head slightly, leaning forward and resting her forehead on my collarbone. I blink a few time in surprise and glance down at her then to Mike who has the exact same stunned face.
   My arms gently wrap around her shoulder's, my hands resting in the mid of her back . She instantly tenses up just a little bit but soon she relaxes again. 
   "How does joining work?" She ask, taking a step back and looking up at me
   "Usually, you have to defeat the person who tries to eliminate you. That only happens if you get your name sent on a white card. But with the way that your being able to hold you're own at your small size, and the damage that you did to someone that was twice your weight." I say, stopping before i start to look like a little creep. Mike laughs, and looks at Amara.
   "You dont give yourself as much credit as you really should. You walked away from that fight with only a mere scratch compared to what you did to Hailey." Mark says, smiling and laughing a little. Amara looks up, guilt all over her face.
   "I messed her up that bad?" She ask then shakes her head, slitting on the toilet and putting her head in her hands. I glance at Mike then kneel down and look at Amara. 
   "That feeling you got when you hit her, we can show you how to control it, everyone of us has something different, a different feeling, and a different way of showing and dealing with it, but our leaders show each and everyone of us how to take it and twist it and be able to bind all of us together so we can use it to our advantages." i say and gently smile at her, she looks up at me, not smiling.
   "The advantage? As in killing innocent people?!" She exclaims, standing up, i stand up as well, towering over her, yet she continues to look at me like shes millions of feet taller then me.
   "Is that what you think?! that we just go around and kill people. If so, Many more people would be gone, You probably wouldnt be here, Or at least wouldnt after what you did to that innocent girl!" I exclaim, instantly regretting it, hurt flashes in her eyes.
  "Amara, i..." before i can finish shes out of the bathroom and running down the hall and threw the back doors of the school. Before i can run after her, Mike grabs my shoulder.
  "Hey, you didnt mean too. Let her steam off for a few hours before trying..She'll be back tomorrow" He says, i nod and lean my head back onto the wall.
   "Lets just get threw the day, Where almost over 1st period so lets just get ready and go to our second class." Mike says, i nod. 
   Every TEC employ that went to the same school was set to where they all had the exact classes. Me and mike luckly we're the only ones that go to this school.
   

The rest of the day goes by slowly and by tomorrow im walking down the same field. Staring at Amara, who stares back. She stands up straight from the wall and walks over to me. I open my mouth to say something but before i can...She smacks me across the face. Everyone around us gasp. I blink a couple times and look back at Amara.

   "Okay, yeah i deserved that one." I mumble and look at her. i look around, everyone still watching us. "Can we go speak somewhere else?" I ask, she looks at me, rolling her eyes before nodding and walking over to the parking lot, me fallowing. We walk over to a large black truck. my eyes widen and i look down at her.
   "Is this one yours?" I ask, and she nods, climbing into the driver seat. I climb in the passenger seat.
 "Look Amara...Im sorry for what i said yesterday. TEC has been my family for a very long time now. Not many people know this, but my mother isnt my birth mom. I was with TEC for most my life before she adopted me...My point to this is, we dont kill innocent people, the people who have done cruel things to innocent people are the ones that we eliminate. Im sorry i didnt make that much more clear." i stop talking as soon as i see the look that Amara has on her face.
   "Kaden...." She mumbles and looks down, biting her lower lip slightly. "Im joining"
