Chapter 7
Adelaide's POV
An hour later all of the Benedict's had arrives at the academy for savants. We hid in the back of the school in a small class room.
Trace was holding Mel's hand and Diamond had Alto's face in between her hands. Will, had a hand om Trace shoulder with his eyes locked at his soulfinder across the room. Everyone was worried and scared.
"Anyone going to tell me what the heck going on?" Zed says hugging a scared Sky close into his chest. Alto steps forwards leaving Diamond between his uncle and father.
"Elliot Noel." he says. "he is still alive."
"What makes you think that?" Vick asks, leaning against the wall. The only one who is nearly calm.
"Adelaide told me." Alto says, turning towards me. Sending me the coldest look I've ever seen him do. "She said, he is coming."
"Is she here?" Sky asks, suddenly catching me with her eyes. For a moment I feel her eyes meet mine, then they continues down my body. "I see her..." she whispers. Suddenly all eyes start searching for me. I look at Alto, slowly walking closer.
"Can she?" Was it possible?
"No. Sky sees auras. It doesn't mean she can really see you, Ads." Alto says, without even realizing he just nicknamed me in front of his entire family.
"You can hear her?" Sky asks Alto.
"Yeah.. " he says looking down at me with a tiny smile. Oh thank god. He isn't mad anymore. "Whats her aura like?"
Sky's face changes, she starts playing with her thick blonde braid. Focusing on me.. or rather my aura. Whatever that is. "It's gold... slightly pink." Everyone is quiet.
"Uhm.. so what does that mean?" Lorcan asks.
"The pink...is like sensitivity." she whispers. "Uhm like she is exposed?" She turns to Zed. "The Gold is love and the colour of protection."
"Hunters aren't exactly guardian angels." Xavier says folding his arms.
"Hunters?" I ask alto.
"Thats what you call a savant with a gift like yours. Hunters."
"I've never hunted in my life." I say confused. I've never killed anyone or tried to fi... oh and then it al made sense.
"Yeah you have. That's how Elliot Noel found us at first." Alto says, a little disappointed.
"What is she saying?" Vick asks leaving the safety of the wall. He is now dangerously close. "She know anything?"
"She says she never hunted... intentionally...before." Alto says looking at Vick.
"Thats bullsh..." he starts then realizing his mom is in the room. "That's not true. The Noels found you and your sister at NSBS because of her last year. She almost got you all kill. She got Lorcan shot." Vick says letting everyone know exactly what he thinks of me. I mean.. it's true. I almost got everyone killed because I was too scared to say no.
"I didn't know you would be there too, Alto. I promise.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Alto asks. Before I can answer Vick doesn't, thinking the question was for him:"She found you, you idiot. Just like now. Who knows if Elliot Noel has too!"
"He hasn't. Not yet. I mean he knows about Colorado like everyone else. But.. not the school. I promise."
"Not what i meant. What did you mean with you didn't know I was at NSBS?" Alto turns to me. Everyone around us is quiet. Realizing the question wasn't for Vick. Uriel steps forwards. "Why don't we take it easy. Alto. What did Adelaide just say?"
"She said, 'I didn't know you would be there too, Alto'..." he repeats.
"So Adelaide... who were you looking for?" Uriel asks me, trying to look at me. I feel tears in my eyes. I look at Alto.
"I'm so sorry, Alto." I whisper. "I honestly didn't know..."
"Who were you looking for, Adelaide!" Alto yells at me.
I turn my head, looking my eyes on him, he is standing next to Mel, holding her hand: "Lorcan Calwall." I whisper tears running down my face.
Alto's POV
"Lorcan?" Alto repeats in shock. Vick's face turns white looking from Lorcan to Alto.
"WHAT DID SHE TELL HIM!" Vick yells grasping Alto's shirt at the neck. "WHAT THE F** DID SHE TELL THAT PIECE OF SHIT!" Vick shakes Alto violently. A wave of anger hits me, and without thinking I draw all energy out of the room - the light flicker, Lorcan grabs his chest and falls to the floor - as I rush forward.
"VICK! Look out!" Sky yells as I run into Vick full speed throwing him of Alto and onto the floor. The lights stop flickering and Lorcan gasps for air. I look down at my hands. I could actually feel Vick when i used him. I felt him! I'd touched a human.. I was able to do something. I was somehow kolonger useless. The hope speed a warm and nice feeling in my body...
Realizing what I'd done, the warm feeling left my body, cold and with a twisted stomach.
Vick is sitting on the floor in front of me and everyone around us are starring at him and Alto in surprise. Except for Sky. She is starring at me.
"Oh my God..." Crystal whispers realizing my secret. Begging a higher authority she won't tell the others I step back, standing next to Alto.
"Did she just..." Will says in surprise. "She.. has she done anything like this before?" he asks Alto.
"No." He stops. "Yes. She held a book once."
"She used Lorcans gift..." Mel whispers. "She tried to hurt Vick,"
"Stop. She didn't." Crystal says. "Vick is fine. Also he was totally asking for it, being suck a dick." Sky nods.
"Yeah. I just told you she had a golden aura." Everyone seems to be confused by the sudden change in the girls.
"She is obversely is a guardian angel..." Phoenix smiles, reading Sky's mind.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Alto asks turning to me.
"I've been shielding you from the others looking for you.. mr. Noel wants us to find you Alto."
"You following me means they can't?"
"Kinda... I have enough energy to shield then off anyways."
"Too you've been protecting me? But why?" Alto asks amazed.
"I... I uhm.. you were the only one able to see me." I whisper. It was partly true..
