It's been 3 weeks since Cal told me what Davidson told him. That he never talked to me that night. We've looked in to it and he was right. Security footage, and even Julian confirming they were together proves I wasn't him.
It's been 3 weeks since we decided not to try to come forward to the fake Davidson regarding the two day time limit I had. Nothing has happened that I'm aware of. Including the return of Tramy. I hope he's okay.
I've made friends with some of the new bloods that came in from the country. Especially with Baylor. We have a lot in common. He comes from a big family, was in the shadow of a sibling. And he isn't afraid of standing up for him self.
Cal doesn't say anything but you can tell he doesn't like me hanging around with Bay. But I like it. We train and talk. And it's like a gasp of air. No history. Just a clean slate. Which I don't find that I have much of anymore. With everyone around me, we have some sort of problematic past. Even my family.
Farley has yet to see a new blood with a power able to do what Cal described. But each day we can check a name off of the list saying it's not them.
"Mare did you hear me?" Ella asks. She brings me back the the training field. I shake my head. She sighs. "I said that I want to use lighting today." I knot my eyebrows in confusion. She nods.
"Okay." I say.
"Okay." She reply's. She signals for the people around us to back up. With them is Kilorn. "Ready?" She asks. I nod.
She Flings a blue rod in my direction, which I block with my own purple one. I Throw my lightning into her side. She winces. But it takes a lot to get that from one of us. Because we all produce it, it's hard to hurt each other with it.
After a long fight, we have both had enough. So I head back to the house with Kilorn. "You did good," He says.
"Yeah, it was nice to get some energy out." He nods.
We are half way back when we see Cal approaching us. "Hey," I say stoping.
"Can I talk to you?" He says, glancing at Kilorn "Alone."
"Yeah, I had something to do anyway." Kilorn says backing away. He gives a little wave and runs off. I turn back to Cal.
"What is it?" He hands me a piece of paper. I look at it closer. It's a list of names. "What's this?" I ask.
"The last new bloods that it could be." He says. "Farley gave me the last ten names she hasn't found out the abilities of yet." I scan the list.

"This must be wrong." I say handing back the list. Cal shakes his head.
"It's not,Mare"
"No it is." I say. "Bay is not the person we are looking for. I know him. He's my friend. It's not him." I finish. Cal rolls his eyes.
"Mare how do you know that? Maybe he is playing you." He pauses. " like Maven." That hits me right in the gut. I feel sparks in between my fingers. I try to calm my self.
"Bay is not like Maven! He is kind and thoughtful and is the opposite of that Him." Cal looks down.
"Isn't that what you thought about Maven?" He has me there. But I shake my head still.
"No. No it's not him. Take him off the list." Cal eyes me but complies. He takes a pen out of his pocket and crosses through Bay's name.
"There." He says.
"Okay" I reply.
We make our way home. Once we reach my room I open the window and take off my boots. Looking out the window I see Farley playing with Clara in the grass, with them is Gisa. Gisa wasn't ment for this life. She was supposed to grow up and be a successful red. Which are rare. Then she would get married and have children of her own. She would be a great mother.
Cal slides his hands around my waist. He sets his chin on my shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing" I say turning around in his arms. I press my lips against his and move my arms around his neck. He returns my kiss.
It grows more and more. Before we know it we are locking the door and moving towards my bed.
