Chapter 2 : The form

Hi ! Sorry for not having updated earlier but I was busy with school and I was working on this chapter :) Enjoy !

Weall sit around the coffee table in the living room. Matt sits infront of me and Tom in front of Judy who's sitting next to me.

Igrab the box and put it on the table.

«So. Does anyone know this game ? » I ask. They all nod theirheads no.

«Well, ok. You have to fill the form. It's like an application for amagical institute and you just have to write down who you are andwhat are your magical powers and all... » I explain whiledistributing the sheets.

«Umm...What if we don't have a magical power ? » Leo asks, jokingly.We all burst out laughing. But my heart skipped a beat, terrifiedthat he might have found out. He wasn't looking at me so I think hewas just teasing.

«What is your magical power ? » I read the form out loud.c

«Oooh, thoughy ! » exclaims Judy. « We can put anything we want!! »

Ithink a bit. I then bend down and write something on the paper. I canfeel Judy looking over my shoulder to see what is written.

«What did you putttt ???? » she asks curiously.

«I put : that I can death glare curious people. » I joke.

«Oohh ! That sounds cool!" Matt says, grinning at me. "Totallylike you when you're mad."

Ismile back at him. "Maybe."

Myreal powers are different.

Itall started when I was 5. I hit my head on a stone wall after I felldown from my bike. I remember waking up at the hospital, with a bigbandage on my head, and hearing a voice in my head say : Well,it was about time! I was starting to think you were in a coma! Sosarcastic Hunter. I was surprised at first, but then she slowlybecame my bestie. I still don't know why she's in me andnot anyone else. But I guess I'll never know. If I tellanyone it might put she and I in danger. We could be sent to a mentalasylum cause people would think I'm crazy, or we could get exposed ina museum or a zoo like all these stuffed animals I see in glasscases, or we could even get arrested for all the murders in mycity...

Ifmy friends and family knew what I do at night, tracking down andkilling criminals and then framing other criminals for it, they wouldbe so afraid of me! I can already picture their terrified, betrayedlooks in my mind's eye. I feel like crying as soon as I startimagining my mother's disappointed face. Hunter chases this idea outof my head : Ugh! Stop worrying, she hisses. It'suseless. And, by the way, we won't get CAUGHT. I'm a Hunter, I DON'TGET CAUGHT, remember ?

-You're right. I'm sorry.

-Duh! Of course, I'm right ! Stop apologizing girl. I alreadytold you, you have to be strong. And stop picturing worst casescenarios that will NEVER happen, she laughs.

Nextquestion is : Do you want a mate ?

Whatthe heck is a mate?, I wonder.

"Amate ? Like, a werewolf-mate kind-of mate ?" Judy voices mythoughts.

"I'mnot sure." I eye the paper suspiciously.

"Yes.It think you're right Judy. A werewolf-mate-kind-of-mate." Mattchuckles.

"Mymind just went blank here. I'm not sure what you just said but therewas way too many mates in it." mutters Tom.

Judynudges my shoulder and points at Matt. He is writing down somethingon his paper with his signature smirk on. Oh great. Thatsmirk can mean 2 things :

1/He's writing/doing/thinking/saying something dirty

2/He's about to prank someone or make one of his badboy-jokes.



Istare holes into his forehead hoping he will lift up his face. After2 minutes of me staring, he slowly raises his head and looks into myeyes. He smirks again. Oh bother. Why am I melting ? Pullyourself together !, Hunter yells at me. I hold his gaze.

"Wannasee what's written on my sheet ?" he whispers softly. Err...should I ? Or should I not ? I heard him and Tom made a bet about whocould make me blush. What if he wins ?

Heslowly hands me the sheet. Well, what is there to loose ? I sigh andput my eyes on his quiz.

WhatI read on the sheet makes me want to go and bury myself in a hole. Ina good way.

Iclear my throat as I feel the heat creeping into my cheeks. No, no,no ! Do not blush ! I try so hard notto blush, but I keep on seeing this piece of paper. Well, I guess hewon the bet...

Oncewe finished writing everything down, we start reading everything wewrote to each other. Matt pretended to be able to move objects withthe power of his thoughts and Tom pretended to be Wonder Man (which,as he explained, is the masculine for Wonder Woman) whereas Judy saidshe wanted to be omniscient. Anyway, we all had a good laugh and madefun of each other the way friends do.

"I'mhungry !" moaned Tom for the one-hundredth time since thebeginning of the game.

"Well,let's go and eat the cake then !" I proposed.

Myproposition was received with acclamations and cries of joy. So weall ran to the kitchen and sat down to eat the cake's left-overs.

*

Afterthe party everyone leaves to their own homes and I'm left alone withJudy to clear up.

"Letme do it, don't worry, it's your birthday." I say throwing thepaper cups in the trash.

"No,no, it's my house, and my party. Let me do it." she retorted.

"Let'sboth do it then." I settled.

Afterclearing up everything I said good-bye and returned to my own house.

Iput the form down on my desk and lied down on my bed, thinking. Whatif I'm not the only one ? What if there are others like me ?, I askedmyself for the hundredth time since it happened.

Mymom calls me into the kitchen and I skip downstairs without giving ita second thought.

*

Afew minutes later, I climb back in bed for the night. I go to grab afantasy novel I had left on my desk, and realize the form hasdisappeared. Never mind, someone must have taken it and thrown itinto the trash., Hunter says.

Voila, voila...

Hope you enjoyed it :)
