Supernatural in Training
Simon's POV (flashback in italics)
"You guys really don't know how to use your powers? Not even a little bit?" I asked glancing at them curiously. I've never met super naturals that haven't been able to harness their power before. But then again there's a first for everything.
"Well I sort of can since it just happens, but that's about it. My other wolf instincts suck. Why can I shift but do nothing else? It is really sad." Dani said sadly. Alex hugged her, trying to comfort her.
"Hey that's alright. We'll help you all." Tori said confidently. "Like when we get home we'll just work in groups. Kendall you're going to be with Derek and Brynn too because your power is close to theirs."
They all nodded their head in agreement. I had to admit, this sounded really fun. I get to train people like a boss! It was great that Kendall, Dani, Alex, and Damien are going to live in the cottage next to ours.
Yeah did I forget to mention that? It turned out they were looking for me and my family, so they get to stay a while. We get to train them and help them figure out how to use their powers. Right now we were packing because we were leaving in an hour. They were going to live with us. Looks like Panther Valley was going to get a whole lot more interesting.
"Simon get your butt over here and help me!" Chloe yelled from across the room. I rushed over to her and grabbed the purple suitcase from her hands. "Anything for you milady." When she dropped the suitcase in my hand I almost fell over.
"Geeze Chloe what the heck did you put in here? Rocks?" I teased, even though the bag was really heavy. She turned away embarrassed. I groaned. "You actually have rocks in here? Why would you have rocks?"
"Hey they're not any type of rocks! They're those special rocks with crystals inside, besides I wanted to remember our vacation." She said defensively.
"You think that bringing rocks home will help you remember?" She nodded her head fiercely and I sighed. "The things I do for love." I muttered under my breath.
Of course Chloe heard me though. She squealed. "Awe you're so sweet! Now get a move on and put that bag in the car!" She said slapping my butt as I passed by. I just shook my head chuckling.
As I left the room I saw Jake come out of his and Tori's room lugging a light pink suitcase. "Tori's?" I asked, nodding towards the suitcase. "Yeah." He grunted as he put it on his back.
We went to the elevator together and started talking. "This was a really good vacation." I admitted. Jake nodded. "Really good, the girls chose a really good place."
I agreed and we stood in comfortable silence till the elevator door opened. Alex and Dani were in the lobby bickering. I raised my eyebrows at Jake who just started laughing.
"They remind me of you and Chloe, you know." He said. "If they start fighting over doughnuts they would be dead on." I just rolled my eyes, but it was true.
Dani and Alex were in the I hate you, I love you stage of a relationship. They both didn't realize it yet, but they were crazy for each other and meant to be. I bet in a month that they will be dating.
When Dani spotted me and Jake she immediately ran over to us. "Hey guys!" She said cheerfully hugging me. I was surprised for a second, but hugged her back and ruffled her hair. She was like the little sister I've always wanted.
When she pulled away she was still grinning from ear to ear. "Why so excited Danibear?" Jake teased as her and Alex followed us to the car. "Nothing just excited!"
Alex snorted from behind us. "I would say that is a bit of an understatement. She has been bouncing off the walls since we woke up. We're all just really excited to live next to you guys. Won't feel as alone anymore you know?" He said, shoving his hands in his pockets nervously.
I patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, the feeling is mutual. I could barely get Chloe to go to sleep last night, she was so excited. I think this will be what everyone needed." I said grinning.
Dani agreed. "It's like our little families just keep getting bigger and better!" I couldn't agree more.
Chloe's POV
As soon as Jake unlocked the cottage I ran inside, plopping on mine and Tori's bed. "I missed you!" I yelled to the cottage.
"I missed you too!" Simon yelled back, trying and failing at trying to mimic a ghost voice. There was a thump and then a groan. "Ow Tori why did you punch me?" Simon said from the hallway.
I heard her laughing. "Muscle spasm!" She yelled before coming into the room with me and slamming the door shut. She sighed and plopped on the bed.
"It smells so good!" She said inhaling the pillow next to her. I started laughing, for some reason all the pillows in our room smelled like cinnamon. "When is everyone else going to be here?" I asked curiously looking at the clock. It was 6 p.m.
"Hmm, well they should be here any minute now." She said. She was referring to Derek, Brynn, Kendall, Alex, Damien, and Dani. They all were riding in the same car and they were coming over here for training.
That's right you heard it correctly! Me Chloe Saunders is going to be a leader. I actually get to teach someone how to be a necromancer. It gave me excited butterflies every time I thought of it.
"We should dress in all black! Because that would make us look legit and professional." I said excitedly. "Good idea!" Tori said as we walked into the closet.
Ten minutes later we emerged from the closet in black hoodies, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. All in all we looked pretty tough. Right then the bell rang and me and Tori ran to go get it.
We opened the door to reveal a beaming Brynn. "Hey guys!" She said being weirdly chipper. "Well hello Brynn." I replied back raising my eyebrows.
"She's just happy because she got to ride in the car next to Damien." Dani stage whispered coming up from behind her.
Tori rushed to go hug her while Brynn blushed a bright red. "Not true." She muttered. "I'm just excited to train these puppies into shape!" She yelled.
I high fived her. "True that!" "You know a little help would be nice!" Kendall yelled coming up to us holding her suitcase. I laughed. "SIMON! JAKE! WE NEED YOUR HELP OUT HERE!"
They both ran out and looked around. I pointed to Kendall. "Go get the bags." I said simply. They both rolled their eyes at me, but obliged.
Soon Damien and Alex came into view both looking very disgruntled. "What's up with you guys?" I asked curiously.
"They're just mad that girls are going to show them up in training." Brynn whispered. I started laughing. "Is that so?"
"Come on Alex!" I yelled, tugging him by the hand into the forest. We had broken off into groups and me, being the only necromancer took Alex to the woods. We were going to learn Chloe style.
"Okay, so out of all the awesome powers necromancers have, what can you do?" I asked curiously.
"Uh lets' see. I can see the dead, but only when I want to. If that makes sense? And uhh what else am I supposed to be able to do?" He asked. I clapped my hands together excitedly.
"You got one of the hardest parts down! I wasn't able to get that down until a couple of years ago. I used to summon zombies in my sleep and talk to them even though no one else could see them. Talk about awkward. It was horrible. But since then I have gotten really good! So let's see, I'll teach you how to bring things back to life. Even though you shouldn't want to do that, because if it was dead for a while the soul will just be bitter and not be the same as it once been." I said.
"But what if someone dies and you want to bring them back to life." Alex asked curiously. I shrugged. "You have to bring them back right when they die. Like in the first ten minutes, other than that their gone. If you bring them back after that, they won't be the person you remembered. They'll be a slave bowing to your every will and that wouldn't be good." I shook my head, realizing I've been talking a whole lot.
"Its okay you know, this is really helping." He said as if reading my mind. "Talk as much as you want Chloe." I smiled at him, I like this kid.
"Alrighty then, you ready to learn how to bring back the dead." He nodded. "Wait! Actually after I do this." He said as he took out his Ipod out of his pocket and started playing "Awake and Alive" by Skillet. "Now I'm ready."
I rolled my eyes at him, even though the music gave us the most killer mood. This is what I'm talking about. "Okay let's start with…" I closed my eyes and felt around. "Let's start with that dead bunny over there." I said pointing to a tree a couple feet away from us.
Alex had a look of awe in his eyes. "You know where that was? How?" I winked at him. "In time little Alex, in time."
When we reached the poor little dead bunny I got on my knees. After a couple seconds, Alex did too. "Okay here's what we do." I said breathing calmly and telling Alex to close his eyes.
"What do you feel?" I asked. "And try little hard, don't go with the easy stuff, dig really deep." I heard him breathing really slowly. "I-I-I I think I actually feel something. It's faint, but I think I can feel it's spirit. Am I imagining things?"
"No you're not, this is great." I said trying to keep the excitement out of my voice so he wouldn't be nervous. "What do I do now?" he asked.
"Just try to pull on it. Really lightly, like your unraveling headphones, you don't want to break it, so you just do it lightly." I said laughing silently at my analogy. Really headphones?
I opened my eyes a little and peeked at Alex. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration and his hands were hovering over the bunny without him even knowing it. He was learning quickly.
"I feel it!" He yelled happily, opening his eyes. We both looked down at the bunny whose tiny chest was now rising up and down. "Okay today was a good lesson!" I said triumphantly. I don't mean to brag but I think I am a pretty good teacher.
"I'm going to put it back down, kay Alex? I'll teach you that tomorrow. After this we can go watch the others." I said winking at Alex because I know he wanted to see Dani.
"Oh shut up and banish the thing." He said playfully. Sighing I closed my eyes and searched for the bunnies soul. When I found it, I snapped it like I had scissors and felt the bunny go back to the dead.
"Off to stalk Dani we go!" I said as I brushed off the dirt on my jeans. Alex punched me in the arm lightly and then started running to the house. "Race yah!" He yelled as I ran after him. Chloe Saunders does not lose.
Damien's POV
I was sitting in the living room with Simon, Jake, and Tori when Alex came crashing through the sliding door. "Woo! I won!" he panted before Chloe came in colliding with him.
They both fell on to the ground breathing hard. "You idiot! You're not supposed to stop in front of the door!" Chloe yelled. Alex shrugged. "Totally worth getting knocked down. I'm a winner."
"Okayyyy then." Simon said, turning back to me. "Enough of that weirdness lets teach you how to use your powers." I nodded my head eagerly. I was going to be beast at this.
Simon looked at Jake then flicked his fingers and Jake went flying, landing on the other couch. "Hey! That's my boyfriend." Tori yelled and Simon yelped.
"Did you just burn me?" Simon yelled lifting his shirt to reveal a red welt. "That I did." Tori said laughing. He just rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, that's basically what you do. You think of a spell you want to do. Like the throw back one I did on Jake and then try to push it out. Concentrate and try to push it out."
"It sounds like he's telling people how to poop." Chloe whispered into Alex's ear as they started laughing. I ignored them. "Alright! I got this!" I said cracking my knuckles.
"Who can I try it on?" I asked. "Over here hun!" Tori said waving at me. I looked over skeptically at Simon and Jake who just shrugged.
"She has the best reflexes." Chloe explained. Her and Alex were still sitting on the ground watching me. Sighing I turned to Tori and put my hands up, closing my eyes.
I want to knock her back, just a little though. Please. I kept thinking to myself. I concentrated harder and harder then I felt something. Like something shoot out of my hands.
I open my eyes to see Tori slide across the floor before rolling so she can get on her feet. She really does have the best reflexes. She needs to teach me how to do that sometime. "I did it!" I yelled triumphantly, while everyone crowded around me to pat me on the back.
I smiled triumphantly before I fell to the floor. "It's okay sweetheart! Practice makes perfect." Alex taunted in a girl's voice. I snorted. "That was harder than it looks!" I said pointing at him; well I thought I was pointing at him.
"Over here." He said. I was pointing at the wall. I started laughing. "Haha my bad. This stuff is hard." Then I fell into a flashback. Oh wonderful.
I kissed Brynn, I don't know what I was thinking but I did it. I couldn't take it any longer, she just drives me crazy. I was about to pull back and apologize, when she kissed me back.
I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer and her hands wrapped around my neck. A thousand questions were roaming around in my head, but they could wait.
When we broke apart, out of breath, I looked into her eyes. "That was amazing." I said and she blushed and turned around. I cupped her cheek gently, making her look at me.
"Where does this leave us now?" I asked. She looked back at me; here shiny brown eyes had their wall up again.
I wanted so desperately to take that wall down, to see what was underneath. It was something I think only I noticed, that she still struggled with something. There was something in her past that still bothered her.
I wanted to be the one she poured her heart out too, the one that could comfort her and make her feel better. I just wanted to get inside of that head. She looked back at me and we just stood there for an agonizing minute before she spoke again.
"It's up to you." She said before kissing me one more time on the lips before running back to the hotel. I smiled happily; finally something could go my way.
Dani's POV
I was in the middle of sparring with Kendall when I saw the rest of the gang, minus Damien coming. Kendall, taking use of my distraction pinned me.
"Woo! Finally, like really it was getting embarrassing how many times you tackled me Dani. What was it? 7 times against my 1? That is very sad." Kendall rambled.
I just started laughing. It was true, me and Kendall have been sparring for about 20 minutes and Kendall hasn't managed to get a hit on me. But Kendall was doing great too; she was faster at running and could scale a tree, well like a cougar.
"What are you guys doing here? And where's Damien?" Brynn asked, blushing a little on Damien's name. Interesting. "Oh." Simon said waving it off. "He just passed out during practice, he's fine though."
"Passed out! How is that okay?" Kendall asked laughing. "Well he was doing good, got the knock back spell on the first try. It wasn't that powerful but it was something." Simon said.
"Yeah before he fell to the ground and fainted." Alex said cutting in. We all started laughing; thinking about Damien sprawled out on the floor.
"Fine, fine. As long as he's okay." Brynn said eyeing the newcomers. They all nodded their heads and she relaxed. "Okay then." She said turning to me and Kendall. "I think you guys are done with sparring, doing great though."
"I agree, especially you Kendall." Derek added sarcastically much to Kendall's dismay. She scowled at him and kicked the dirt.
He went over to her and patted her shoulder encouragingly. She beamed at him. Awe, how cute! "Anyways, I think since all of you guys are here we should do a relay race." Derek said.
All the guys whooped while me and the girls, minus Brynn groaned. "You actually want to do a relay race?" I asked Brynn. She nodded her head excitedly. "Absolutely, someone needs to put these guys in their place."
"Traitor!" We all yelled at Brynn teasingly. She just shrugged. "Okay okay, I got a proposition for yah." Jake said cutting off our protests.
"So at the amusement park me and Tori made a bet and she lost, I know what I want to do, but if I add you guys." He said motioning to me and the girls. "It will be even better."
Tori raised her eyebrows at him. "What the heck do you have in mind?" She yelled. He just chuckled. "That's for me to know and you to find out." She rolled her eyes at him. "Very mature."
"I'm intrigued!" Chloe yelled, making me jump. I forgot she was behind me. Jake was whispering with the guys before he turned back to us. They all had evil grins on their faces. I really wonder what they have in mind for us.
"So you guys agree to that? If we win you'll guys have to do the thing I planned for Tori too?" Jake asked. We all nodded our heads in agreement; we were so going to win if we had Brynn and Tori on our side. "Good, but you guys have a problem." He said.
"And what is that Mr. Bossy butt?" Chloe asked. He shook his head. "Ignoring that… anyways I was going to tell you that you have one extra person and we wouldn't want this to be unfair right?"
I snorted. Since when do the guys care about technicalities? "Oh! I'll sit out!" Chloe said beating me and Kendall to it. We shot her death glares and she just smiled innocently.
"Actualllyyy…." Alex said slowly, the grin on his face widening. "We get to pick, and we pick Brynn to sit out." All of our jaws dropped. "No fair! You guys are cheating!"
Derek put his hands up in surrender. "Just trying to be fair." Brynn sighed. "Its okay guys! You can do it without me!" She said perkily. She gave us way too much credit, but we had to do it. None of us backed out of a challenge before, and well I wanted to beat the guys and make them be our servants or something.
"Fine, we'll beat you without Brynn." I said. Let's do this.
"Run Kendall run!" Brynn yelled from the clearing. I panted holding my knees to chest. I just slapped Kendall for the relay, to get her to run and we actually had a lead. But boy was I out of shape.
Simon was trailing her, a very determined look on his face. "Oh my gosh this is so hard! I'm coming Chloe!" Kendall screamed running as fast as her feet could take her.
She slapped Chloe's hand and off she went. My eyes almost bugged out of my head. Who know that Chloe could actually run? She was booking it to Tori, who happened to be our anchor. I think we're going to win.
"Woo! Take that Derek!" Brynn yelled earning a glare from Derek, who just happened to be their anchor. "Shut up Brynnie! I can crush you."
She saluted him. "Whatever you say boss." Simon slapped Jake's hand and off he went. Catching up to Chloe in mere seconds. Well then.
They both reached their anchors at the same time and they went flying. Tori and Derek were neck and neck. They had to reach the house and touch the screen door. Tori started pulling ahead of Derek and I heard him grunt frustrated.
They were coming past the last tree, when Derek over came here, passing her at full speed. "Run Tors! We need you." Chloe yelled. Tori pumped her arms and went faster, but the damage was already done. Derek won.
"WOO!" all the guys yelled as Derek touched the screen door. More like slammed into it. He jumped back from the impact and stumbled into the pool. Maybe losing was worth it. Kendall was on the ground laughing. Yep, definitely worth it.
All the boys turned to us with toothy grins. "You lost the bet that means you have to do the bet." They said, putting emphasis on the bet. I rolled my eyes, whatever it was, sincerely sucked.
Just then Damien came out of the house; his hair sticking up at all ends. "What I miss?" he asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Sometimes that boy was so clueless.
Yay! Sorry if it seemed sort of fillerish, they just needed to perfect their powers and guess what's going to happen tomorrow? Yeah that's right; they get to go to school! Dun dun dun. They all get to meet the lovely Kiley. How wonderful. Anyways, hope you like this chapter. So anyone watch the Olympics? It was amazing. Go team USA! Okay gotta go. I'm going to watch a Walk to Remember by my lonely self! Oh and to listen to One Direction. Can we say obsessive? Haha. Oh! I remembered keep voting for the poll purttyy please? So far it's a tie so I don't know if Kendall should be with Damien or Derek or if Brynn should be with Derek or Damien! Help me! Love squares ain't good. Goodness I am so turning into Nudge.
-xx
p.s. The bet will be in one of the next chapters, after the school one. I didn't forget!
