Chapter 2
"Times up. Put your pencils down and turn off your monitors," the teacher says. ...7 ...8 I turn off my monitor as I continue to detect where this spirit is.
My heart is beating in my ears and I feel like my chest is about to explode. 9... 10... My pluses continue as I sense it rapidly moving to the side of the room with the door. It seems like it is moving along the hallway. Strange.
11... 12... He is getting so closer. I know my breathing is getting heavy and I also start to sense Bing, Queen and Libras feeling. We all are terrified.
At this point we are all looking at the door. This spirit isn't just angry; they have fearfully powerful rage. Spirits can come through walls if they wish, unless they are currently in a physical form.
When they are in a physical form, they are called demons and are the most powerful by far. I had stopped trying to sense it a while ago to save my energy. If it is what we think it is we will all have to use every bit of energy to stay out of harms way, much less protect everyone else.
The door handle starts to move and I hold my breath, or I can't breathe. It starts to violently shake back and forth. I can also feel the spirits presence without using my energy. "Holy crap," Bings words mimick my thoughts.
A crashing sound like breaking metal finally gets the teachers attention to the door. Those cheep locks on our school door broke. I brace myself for whatever is about to come in. Every muscle in my body is tense and my stomach is so tense I might throw up.
In this moment I feel such dread. I know it can't be more than a half of second but time seems to stretch forever as the door swings open with what must be a rapid pace.
What I see baffles me. It is not a spirit, nor a demon. Its a man. No, in fact it is a boy one who's in my class. His name escapes me for a moment if pure confusion. Then I remember, he is Robert. I thought he was supposed to be testing with me.
Actually this was the last year session and he was talking to me about this test during lunch earlier. I scan him again, in great detail. Yes, he is the soul I was sensing. Yes, he is the one with all that rage. Yes, he is 100% still human. Dang, he has an imaginably strong 6th sense, I think with such a sense of awe. "You ****ing *****" a powerful quaking voice breaks through my thoughts. Shoot, that was Robert. He never ever cusses.
I actually look at him for the first time. He has a cut on his face right above his eyebrow that is still bleeding. His usually perfectly aligned black hair is all messed up and looks like it might have egg and eggshell in it. His fair skin is smudged everywhere with black dirt. The clothes that were probably ironed out this morning are wrinkled and also covered in dirt. He has additional cuts down both arms and a strange redness around both wrists. His hands are in tight fists, so much so that his knuckles noticeably whiter than his already light skin. In one hand he has his glasses that are broken in half with his lenses shattered. I look into his almost black eyes. They are filled with rage and anger. He is always so happy and kind, I have never seen him angry at all. His eyes are like pits and lack their usual brightness.
I notice that I taste blood and that my right hand is warm. I look down to see that my hands are in fists and my nails are cutting into my palm. I was clenching my jaw severely and didn't notice that I was also biting my lip. I was shaking with anger. Who the hell would do something like this to a guy like Robert?!?!?!? Who the hell would do this to anyone?!? My thoughts were like fire and I could sense Libra, Queen, and Bings rage as well as they soon came to a similar analysis.
"Oooooh, Robert are you upset?" said a mocking voice in the back of class. My head snapped back to see Daniel, a 6'8" kid that had actually been hanging out with Robert for about a month, laughing and highfiving his other "jock" friends.
I was all ready to fight a spirit but fighting real people is hard for a small 5' 3" girl. Even though I figured it wouldn't work my rage hit as I realized I was attacking them with my 6th sense. Nothing seemed to happen at first and I was somewhat aware that other people were sending energy towards them as well. My blood boiled as I saw them thrown into the wall behind them. I heard Daniels head crack as it got the wall. In these little moments I felt his soul start to rip from his body just a little.
Stop!!! I knew it was enough and let my grip on them go. I used the energy I had left to protect those idiots from my friends. I looked up and I realized that Queen, Libra, Bing, Robert and I were all standing.
Daniel and his friends were laying on the floor, and his nose was bleeding. Everyone was taking turns staring at us then at Daniel. It is time for us to leave. I motion to my friends and grab Robert.
We almost run into a small girl in the way out. I walk two steps past her and stop in my tracks. My blood boils as I realize she is Roberts little sister, and is in relatively the same condition as him, but with an injury on her leg.
I can feel a new energy brought in by rage surround me and my friends. I barely sense someone fly across the room we had just come out of as we run off.
