The kid was alone. He was all alone inside the big room. He was scared… They said they will come back… They promised to come back… They didn't… They forgot… They left him… They left him alone, all alone.
Read Me I
Wolf
I snapped back into reality and realized that I spaced out when I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I looked at the owner of the hand.
"Umm, are you okay?" a brunette asked, worry in her eyes.
I answered immediately, "I'm good. Sorry about that, umm…"
"Nanoha. Takamachi, Nanoha. Feel free to call me Nanoha." The brunette introduced herself with a smile.
"Okay, Nanoha-chan. I'm Suzuka Tsukimura. Nice to meet you." I smiled back.
"Nice to meet you too. I'll go now. See you around, Suzuka-chan!" Nanoha skipped a few steps down the stairs in the middle of the room, waved at me and continued her way down. I followed her with my eyes and caught a glimpse of her stuttering an apology to someone. She seems cheerful. I like her already and her thoughts are clean.
I am Suzuka Tsukimura, a student from the Special Class-2 here in X Academy. Everyone in this academy has their own talent/s. I'm a mind reader. I can read people's minds. It's quite helpful and handy. I knew that Nanoha's thoughts were clean because I read them. During the time that we were talking she's only thinking about how cool it was to be able to make friends on her first day. She's nice.
I walked out of the room after fixing my things and even though it's getting dark already I still took my time walking to the Academy Café. I really like this café ever since I was a kid. I would always go here and order sweet cakes and pastries. After ordering my usual cappuccino, I looked around the café to pass time while waiting for my order to be served. Out of boredom, I started reading other's minds.
Maybe I should order the other one…
Oh man, that waitress is so hot…
Stupid creep, the next time he comes in late I'm going to burn him to ashes…
The last thought made me shiver. Poor guy has a dangerous girl. Probably a fire user. My cappuccino finally arrived and the obnoxious looking guy winked at me. I blushed not because I like it but because it's so embarrassing. Wow, that girl has a cute blush. Maybe I could score with her. Oh my god. Ewww!! Yuck! Like he stands a chance. I looked down at my cup, picked it up and drink from it to hide my blush. Oh, that was so embarrassing.
No! No!
I stiffened. That must be such a strong thought for it to be heard by me even though I'm not trying to. What was that?
NO!! I need… help…
A girl…she's in danger… I quickly threw some money on the table and went out to find the owner of the voice. Where is she? Come on, whoever you are. Think so I can track you down!
Help! O-oh my g-god… help! Please! Stop!
I quickly ran to where her thoughts are taking me. I ran past the bridge and through the garden. I heard more thoughts and followed them. They led me into an alley where a girl being harassed by a group of men. Filthy bastards!
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?! I picked up a hard stick from the floor and hit the guy holding the girl's left arm. I think I knocked him out good.
The other men quickly turned around and let go of the girl. "Who the fuck do you think you are?!"
Who the fuck is this?! Well, she's just a girl. I'll hit her straight on the face, fucking bitch.
I dodged his attack and landed a blow on his back which made him shout in pain. Two out, two to go.
Hey! She hit big bro! How dare her! One hit on the stomach will make you fall!!
I picked up a random piece of wood and used it to block his attack. The other one attacked me form behind too but fortunately I was able to block him too. Oh my, this one is strong. My hand is starting to tremble so I looked at the girl and saw that she has fixed herself quite well and was reaching for something in the first guy's pocket.
Where are my shooters?! Damn it!
"Hey Miss, I think you're talent has something to do with fighting. Think you can help me?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly from this guy's strength.
"Intellectual peek? Oh, I'm a sharp shooter." The girl offered kindly, finally getting her shooters and shooting the guy in front of me. She's good. With the other one being taken care of the girl, I spun around and kicked the guy in the stomach and hit his head hard.
"Glad that's over." I sighed and tried to catch my breath. Good thing I know how to fight a bit. I'm a mind reader for crying out loud! Not a fighter!
"Sorry for the trouble and thanks for helping me." The girl murmured, looking down shyly.
"No problem. Glad I came on time. Be careful next time, okay? Shooter-chan." I smiled at her kindly. Judging from her uniform, she wasn't from the special class.
"Thanks again, Onee-chan. Umm… Intellectual peek? This one-chan is really pretty…" She smiled and repeated her question from a while ago.
I grinned and patted her head lowered a little so we were standing equally. "No, shooter-chan. Onee-chan's a mind reader."
She blushed slightly at my revelation, knowing that I can read her thoughts clearly. This girl is cute.
"Hey, shooter-chan. What-" I was about to ask her name when I heard something behind us. I spun around and saw a guy about to hit us. I tackled shooter-chan down and waited for the blow to come but suddenly a figure swiftly came and stood before us and I heard the guy gasp.
"W-werewolf?!"
The said werewolf growled and attacked the guy. The werewolf scratched the guy's hand viciously making me cringed. The guy screamed in pain and hit the werewolf's paw hard. The werewolf growled and tackled him hard on the wall making him unconscious. The werewolf stared at us then, as if waiting for something.
I help the girl stand up and gently held her hand. "Why don't you go back to your dorm now, shooter-chan. I'll look for you tomorrow and we could talk then."
She nodded softly, hugged me and then quickly ran away. I then turned to the werewolf standing by the bridge where the light was illuminating him. As I came near the werewolf, I noticed his blonde fur and emerald eyes that are staring at me. Wait. I can't read his mind. Why can't I read his mind? I stopped a few feet far from him. I saw something staining his paw. Is that blood?
"Umm… excuse me, Wolf-san, thank you for helping us a while ago." I tried lamely.
He let out a soft growl and stood up fully. The stain on his paw is growing. It really is blood. I fished out my handkerchief from my bag and cautiously made my way closer and
gently touched his paw. He didn't flinch or anything so I guess that's good. I carefully wrapped my handkerchief on his paw and smiled to myself.
"There you go, Wolf-san. Sorry for the trouble." I said after finishing.
He bowed his head down and run off. That was um… interesting. I shrugged it off and looked down on my uniform. Oh my, I'm a mess. I quickly grabbed my bag and made my way home.
"I'm home!" I shouted to no one. I entered my room and made my way to the bathroom. I stripped and looked at my body from the mirror. No bruises? Good. I hate it when I have bruises. I took a quick shower and went out immediately and got dressed. A soft buzzing sound caught my attention. I followed the sound and it lead mo to where my phone was lying at the desk. I picked it up and made my way to my refrigerator, picked up a can of orange juice and made my way to my couch. I turned on the TV and flipped open my phone. It was an unknown number. I opened the message and read it.
Hey, Suzuka-chan. I got your number from the office a while ago. Hope you don't mind. -Nanoha
Oh, so it was Nanoha-chan. I smiled. I really like Nanoha-chan. She's kind and cheerful. I wonder what's her talent. I replied back saying it's alright and that I don't mind. I watched TV for a few more minutes and turned it off. There was nothing good on anyway. I disposed my trash and went to my bedroom. I set my phone to alarm in the morning and made my way to my bed. I picked up a remote control from my bedside and clicked the "lights off" button. As the darkness surrounds me, my thoughts drifted back to the werewolf before. Who exactly are you? Why did you help us? How did you find us? Will we meet again?
Why can't I read you?
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. I was up earlier than usual. I took a bath, ate and went on my way to the academy. I fell asleep last night thinking about Wolf-san. I let out a sigh and entered the classroom. After a few 'good mornings' and random talks, I went on my table and sat down. I looked out the window. Many students are walking around the campus, they all look like ants. I closed my eyes and focused on other people's thoughts.
Mou, I wonder what happened last night... Making me worry like this... and coming in that form too...
Isn't that Nanoha-chan? Those were her thoughts which means she's already near. Last night? She sounds worried. I'll just ask her later. I looked back out the window and observed the students walking around. I heard soft footsteps enter the room and others greeting Nanoha-chan.
"Good Morning, Suzuka-chan!" Nanoha said, cheerful as ever.
"Good Morni-" I turned to greet her but I was shocked at what I saw. Nanoha was standing at the doorway with someone.
That someone being Wolf-san.
"The wolf from last night." At that, he turned his emerald eyes to me.
