I know I said that I won't be able to update in a while so i won't after this chapter but I was writing my fanfic when I was meant to be revising. I know, very bad. So here's Chapter &

"What is going on here," questioned Principal Powers. I didn't answer; I was in too much shock.

"Kaia, how did you do this?" she tried a different question.

"I…I…don't know," I stammered.

"Mr Daniels, Mr Mathews, Miss Frost?" she asked turning toward the others.

"We weren't doing anything and suddenly she just caught fire," said Shana taking the lead.

"Right, you three are free to go. Miss Walters stay behind, please," Powers instructed. The other three dawdled trying to find out what she was going to say to me, but she didn't speak until they had all left the room. I, meanwhile, was racking my brains for ideas as to why I could use my powers in here.

"Maybe, the neutraliser is broken," I put forward. She nodded and attempted to use her own power.

"Comets Away," she cried with a flourish. Nothing happened. It would have been funny if I wasn't so anxious.

"Well, I guess that's not the answer." I declared.

"Perhaps, it was not functioning at the time. Can you try to use your one of your powers again, Miss Walters," she told me.

I attempted to make a fireball and it worked just like normal. I then shot some ice out of my hand, teleported and even turned into a glowing guinea pig. It was easy. I changed back to normal and glanced at Principal Powers who was looking troubled.

"Do you have any idea why you can do this? This is the last time I'm going to ask you," said Principal Powers.

I didn't like her suspicious tone so I answered emotionlessly, "No, I have no clue why I can use my powers here."

"Well, you may go but I'll look it into it and hopefully we will have an answer soon."

I almost ran out of the room and teleported home.

When I told my parents about it, I could tell that they were worried even though they tried to hide it. They didn't even tell me off for getting detention. It must have been frustrating for them because they were humans so they could shed no light on why I could use my powers even with the neutraliser on. I went up to my room and called Warren.

"Hey, it's me, Kaia," I started.

"Hey, I see you survived detention," he chuckled.

"Warren, something happened," I said.

"What, are you okay? Did you faint again?" he asked his tone immediately becoming serious.

"Yeah, I'm fine and no I didn't faint," I assured him, touched by his concern.

"I don't know how and I don't know why but I can use my powers in the detention room. Principal Powers has no idea why and she seems to think there's something wrong with me. And I'm beginning to agree with her, I mean first I faint then I can do something no superhero has done before. Maybe there is something wrong with me," I babbled revealing my inner fears to him.

"Whoa, Kaia, first you need to relax. You and I both know that there's nothing wrong with you. Calm down. I'm sure there's a rational explanation for it. Stop worrying so much. They'll probably have an answer by the time we get to school tomorrow and then I can laugh at you for acting so paranoid," he said. I calmed down a bit after that.

"Thanks, Warren," I said gratefully.

"Anytime. Are you sure you're feeling better. Do you want me to come over?" he offered.

"As much as I would love that, I'm good now and I have a ton of work to do," I declined.

"Okay, see you tomorrow and call if you need anything," he said.

"Bye." I hung up.

I called Layla and Magenta and had similar conversations with them. They also didn't seem too worried and they offered to call the rest of the gang because I couldn't be bothered and was started to get tired at having to explain the whole situation over and over again.

The next day I walked into school feeling good. I left my dark brown hair out and was wearing a red vest top with jeans. I found Warren sitting under a tree reading a book.

"So, you feeling better?" he greeted me.

"The eyes are bright and the tail is bushy," I said stealing a line from my favourite programme, Veronica Mars.

"So what are you reading?" I asked, not bothering to wait for an answer, just grabbing his book.

"To Kill A Mockingbird. Warren, I don't believe you. How many time have you read this book?" I said incredulously.

"It's one of my favourites, why do you care how many times I've read it." he complained.

"Whatever." I said. The bell rang and we got up and walked into the building.

You know in movies and TV programmes where everybody was talking about this one person and then that person comes in and it's really obvious who everybody was talking about, well I never thought that it actually happened in the real world. Apparently it does, because when I walked in, I experienced that feeling. Everyone was looking at me and as I walked past I could hear whispers with my name being frequently mentioned.

"Wow, it's my very own freak show." I said.

"Come on it's not that bad," Warren tried to convince me. It didn't work. I figured that it must have been Shana who leaked my weirdness to the school. My suspicions were confirmed when we ran into her in the hallway.

"Oh Kaia, I'm sorry that I told everyone but don't you agree that they have right to know what they're going to school with," she said with no sincerity at all. It wasn't really upsetting me but it was beginning to irritate me and I was started to get cranky.

"Piss off, Shana." I growled

The rest of the day brought more whispers. Even the teachers looked at me weirdly, especially Medulla. It was really bugging me. My friends seemed to think I needed protection and I wasn't left alone all day. At lunch I couldn't handle it any longer.

"I can't take this anymore, I'm going to go and find Powers to see if she's figured this mess out." Layla got up to go with me.

"Alone." I commanded and she quickly sat back down.

I walked to her office and knocked on the door.

"Come in," she called out and I entered. The entire room was white, it was exactly like the detention room. The only touch of colour came from two violet flowers in a white vase on her white desk.

"Ah, Miss Walters, what can I do for you?"

"I was just wondering if you found out anything. It's just, I would really like to know." I hoped.

"Unfortunately, we have no answers yet." We? Who's we?

"As soon as we know anything, we'll let you know," she promised, her tone softer than yesterday. I assumed she had realised that I was clueless about the incident.

I couldn't say anything to that so I just left. I returned to the others and shook my head.

"She said she doesn't know yet," I told them and they looked about as disappointed as I felt.

Each day I would go and ask Powers if she knew anything and she would say the same thing: that she was working on it. Finally, on Friday, she called me into her office. I felt relieved that she had found out what happened but now I was anxious to find out the reasons for the events of Tuesday. I brought Warren along with me for moral support.

"Hello, Miss Walters, come in. Mr Peace go back to class." Principal Powers said.

"Please, I'm going to tell him everything anyway," I implored and she let us both in. As we entered, I spotted my mum and dad sitting down on two chairs.

"Mum, dad, what are you doing here?"

"Well, we got a call from your school saying that we had to come down here because it was urgent." explained my dad. Urgent. Oh no, this had to be serious.

"I've got a disease haven't I?" I exclaimed getting more and more worked up by the second.

Principal Powers' eyes grew wide at my rather far-fetched suggestion.

"No, you don't have a disease, Kaia," she sounded caring, the most I'd ever seen her and this made me even more nervous.

"So what's the problem?"

"After researching over the past few days, Mr Medulla, Nurse Spex and I have collectively drawn to a conclusion," she waffled.

"Please, just get to the point," I interrupted.

"You see Kaia; we have determined that you are not a superhero."

I laughed, "What do you mean I'm not a superhero, of course I am. You've seen my powers."

"Let me explain," she said, "As you know there are two types of people in this world: humans and superheroes. I'm sure you know from your science lessons that superheroes carry a genetic characteristic which imbues them with different abilities." She paused to see if I was following. I nodded.

"Well after, the situation on Tuesday, we had your blood tested."

"Wait a minute, where'd you get my blo…" I stopped as I remembered Nurse Spex giving me a blood test on Monday.

"Your blood showed no signs of this genetic characteristic which defines superheroes."

"Your test must be wrong. I have powers; I must have the hero gene." I said not understanding why she didn't get it.

"We thought so too, but we tested the sample many times and came to the same conclusion."

"So if I don't have the gene then how do I have powers?" I asked, expecting her to be unable to answer. I was wrong.

"There are creatures that are called Sajnees and we think you are one of them."

"You think I'm a what," I cried, I didn't know anything about what she had just said but it sounded ominous.

"A Sajnee. They were a sub-species of human who developed a power but they retained their human genetic structure. They all have the same power which is ability absorption, like you. We didn't think anything of it when we saw your power because there are similar superhero powers and it was thought that Sajnees are extinct but now we think differently. The neutraliser does no affect you because they are very strong and only have one known weakness and you experienced first-hand what it can do."

"I did?" I said trying to recall when I had this experience.

"Yes, on Monday. Your fainting episode was the result of exposure to the chemical Byrite."

"But Mr Medulla said that it wasn't dangerous," Warren cut in.

"To superheroes and even normal humans the chemical has no effect but to Sajnees they can be fatal."

"You must be joking; it sounds like something from Superman."

"Actually the Superman story was based around these creatures but there are fundamental differences. Firstly, Sajnees are humans not from another planet. Secondly Byrite is a normal chemical not a radioactive rock. Also Sajnees were – are real creatures and Superman is a fictional character." she spoke slowly for my benefit.

"What does this mean? Is it dangerous?" I questioned and then a thought occurred to me, "Does this mean that I can't come to Sky High anymore."

"No, it certainly does not," she told me, "There are no dangers, except Byrite, which I shall instruct Mr Medulla to keep locked away in the future. However, we think it's best that you don't tell anyone about this since there is a possibility that the Superhero Science Organisation will want to test you because Sajnees are supposed to be extinct." She didn't look me in the eye when she said that last part but I was too preoccupied to question her. I stayed silent, lost in my own thoughts, for a few minutes just mulling over all this new information. It didn't really change anything, did it?

I spent some time processing this knowledge and then said, "Thank you Principal Powers for finding this out. I think that I'm going to tell the rest of my friends; I know I can trust them."

"Very well," she acquiesced, "Now both of you go back to class."

Warren and I got up and went back to our classes. When the rest of the group saw us they wanted to know what had happened but I told them they would have to wait until later for this big revelation.

At lunch I invited them to my house, "Can you guys come over for a sleepover tonight and I'll tell you everything."

"Ooo, sounds mysterious," said Zach.

I didn't say anything.

Later on that evening, I had just tidied up when the doorbell rang.

"Hey guys," I opened the door to find everyone on my doorstep. I led them into the living room which I had cleared out so that there was space for all of us to lounge around.

"There's popcorn, drinks, crisps and movies. So what do you guys want to watch first?" I asked.

"How about 'What's your big secret'," suggested Magenta sarcastically.

"I don't think I have that one …

"Kaia," Warren said in warning voice that got me every time.

"Fine," I relented and sat down, "Basically Powers discovered that I'm a Sajnee. They're creatures which are human but have the power that I have. They're really strong and their only downfall is the chemical Byrite, which is why I fainted on Monday."

They didn't say anything for a bit until Zach said, "So you're like Superman."

"That's what I said, and Superman was in fact based on Sajnees, but, as Powers reminded me, Superman is not real."

I looked around at their faces and noticed that Ethan was lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Ethan?" I inquired.

"It's nothing…It's just that I've done some reading on Sajnees and they're really powerful." he said and I had the same feeling of not knowing the bigger picture.

"Cool," I said back, "I'm going to get some more popcorn seeing as you all have already demolished two bowls of it." I got up to go to the kitchen.

Warren's POV

As she left the room, Ethan turned and spoke, "Guys, there's something you need to know" Then, he explained the full extent of what he knew.

We discussed the new information and at the end I said, "So we're agreed, we don't tell Kaia any of this." We put on a movie just as she walked back in the room.

Kaia's POV

I walked back into the room and the others were quiet. I didn't mention that I had heard them talking loudly but I hadn't heard what they said. They obviously didn't want me to know.

"So what movie are we watching," I asked sitting down.

Hours later, we were sprawled on the sofa, sleeping. We had watched three movies, eaten all the junk food in the house and, much to the boys' dismay, gossiped about hot guys. I opened my eyes and found myself to be in Warren's vice-like hold. But hey, don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining. I looked around to see Will and Layla in a similar position to us. The others were a different story. Zach, glowing, was leaning his head on Magenta shoulder and Ethan was leaning against the sofa. I took a picture of Magenta and Zach knowing it would provide a few laughs later. I closed my eyes trying to get back to sleep but I couldn't. I felt restless and annoyed. It hadn't taken me long to figure out that the gang knew something I didn't. I slowly disentangled myself from Warren, being careful not to wake him and went into the study. I switched on the computer and heard the soft hum of it starting up hoping that it wouldn't wake anybody. I played a few games of solitaire and checked my e-mail. Then I opened up the Internet and went on Google. I typed in 'Sajnee' expecting nothing to come up. My assumptions were way off. There were thousands of hits and I opened up a few of them. Then I began to read.

Warren's POV

I woke up just as she was leaving the room wondering what she could be doing at this time of night. Had she heard what Ethan had said, because it was going to be a problem if she had. What he had told us was troubling news and I was worried that if Kaia knew then her insecurities would take it the wrong way. Hearing noises from the study, I got up to check out what she was up to. I opened the study door and saw the computer on, and her standing against the wall facing away from me. I sat down on the swivel chair and looked at the screen. She had been looking at websites about Sajnees and she had obviously discovered the truth. The sites told stories of these destructive, terrible creatures – villains in their own right –who had to be slowly exterminated by the Superhero Council. There was page after page of horror stories talking about how they would torture and mutilate their victims mercilessly. Oh no, this was bad. I got up and turned her around to face me.

She didn't look at me, "Kaia…" I said.

She looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears and she whispered, "I'm a monster."
