Outraged she stormed of the balcony and lost herself amongst the dancers it was not long before someone approached her and asked her to dance. Crystal gladly agreed and walked towards the center of the dance floor. As she passed Storm she noticed negative vibes coming from his direction. Humm what's got him in a twist Crystal thought as she began to dance with the guy next to her in a matter of minutes she lost herself in the music when the music stopped it felt as if centuries had passed. On her right she saw Storm and for some reason it put a smile on her face.
As she looked closer she noticed a girl dancing pretty close to him. She remembered her from earlier she was the pretty Chinese girl with the startling red crop. She had been with a guy in a leather jacket then. She wondered where he had disappeared to looking at her dancing so close to him made an unusual feeling bubble up inside her which she didn't recognize. It was a clash between admiration and hatred towards her. Turning she left the room. As she stood outside energy thrummed around her and she sent a blast of lightning towards the unknown girl without looking back she new that the girl would be unconscious. For some reason imagining Storms reaction almost made her turn back but her self respect made her leave. As she arrived home she rang Sanama and was answered by one of his men. "Give the phone to Sanama right now if he asks who it is tell him to drop dead" she hissed. A second later she heard Sanama's fluid voice on the line "Asha, why do you want her dead?" Crystal asked.
"I should have known it was you" he answered casually. "Give me a straight answer jerk I'm in no mood for games" Crystal snapped. "Well she has dark powers a danger to us all she has a murderous mind it would put my mind at peace knowing there was at least one less dangerous person out there" he answered calmly. "Sanama you've always been looking out for me and I've always trusted you but why am I getting the impression your lying" Crystal asked. "Ask no questions and you'll be told no lies" he answered vaguely. Angry at his response Crystal slammed the phone down and was satisfied to hear it break into little pieces. Walking towards her gym she felt white hot anger which made her kick her punch bag with such ferocity that it was still swinging back and fro even though she had left the room five minutes earlier.
Heading to school the next day she was annoyed to see Storm. Seeing her he began to walk towards her a grim look on his face when he was walking parallel to her he only asked one word "why?"
"What do you mean?"
Crystal asked innocently knowing full well what he meant.
"I could sense your anger as Ching fell to the floor and I could pinpoint exactly where you were so don't lie to me why did you hurt her anyway" he hissed. "Whose Ching?" questioned Crystal.
"That gorgeous Chinese girl I happened to be dancing with yesterday" he answered. Angry now Crystal let blow.
What's it to you what I do stay out of my business understand she screamed. Storm looked at her with no expression on his face "So how did you learn to fight care to share your secrets with me" he asked coldly. Crystal stared at him aghast "Storm get out of my sight calling on her powers she materialized outside Mr. Walters's room. Now he can have a glimpse of my powers she thought with satisfaction.
Turning away from the door she headed towards the main office. As she reached there she asked to see Asha's birth certificate and school folder. "Sorry chic all information's confidential here you should no better now run along" one of the secretaries answered. Crystal was tempted to hypnotize her but thought better of it she needed to chill out she was going shopping.
Smiling she walked out of the school premises happy to be away from her ever so complicated life. Reaching city center she went to a large store seeing row after row clothes her mood brightened. Humm what should she buy? After hours of strolling around she had finally decided on a long white fur coat and two tops one baby blue and the other black. £3499 she calculated is that all the three items had cost she wondered.
Crystal had inherited a large amount of money from he parents but never new what to spend it on. Since she was a kid Sanama had looked out for her even though he barely new her and had given her plenty of missions to keep her occupied. Not only were the missions fun but she also received a large sum of money each time. Sighing she headed towards college thinking of missions had reminded her that she should be going through Asha's folder right this minute.
Arriving at the College she was surprised to see it deserted. Looking at her watch she realized it was 6:00.
Moving silently she opened the main combination lock with her mental power and cautiously entered the building. Looking around she noticed there were still a few teachers around so moving fast she reached the main reception. Once there she crept in and using her power made a barrage so that nobody would be able to enter the room.
Moving quickly she searched for Asha's and Storm's files once she had them she relaxed into the secretary's chair. Looking through Asha's folder and Storms she discovered that they both had different surnames and also were born in different Countries. Puzzled she opened her notes according to them they were definitely siblings furthermore Storm had arrived at Witham College a year earlier which was weird as they were both the same age, twins probably. Puzzled but determined Crystal photocopied both of their folders and decided to go through them once she reached home.
As she got up a wave of wooziness hit her power was being blasted at her Crystal immediately closed her mind to the presence and the dizziness passed. Had that been Storm? she wondered as she left the building. Walking through the deserted streets Crystal got the impression she was being followed. Slowing down she crossed the road and turned back towards the college. No one there, weird Crystal thought examining her nails. Looking up she noticed blast after blast of power coming towards her. Working fast she summoned a sheet of protection which cloaked her from any evil magic.
Shocked but in control Crystal sent out her powers searching for the evil presence. However before she could move she was surrounded by three figures concealed in black. As they began to charge at her she new just what to do. They were pretty skilled she had to admit they moved cat like as they surrounded her moving closer each time. Opening her mind she imagined them dead and with the thought sent enough energy to kill all three sure enough looking up they all lay sprawled around her. Breathing hard she walked towards her car who wanted to kill her and what should she do she wondered.
The next morning as she was trying hard not to fall asleep in her chair she yawned loudly then smiled sheepishly around at her class mates. Sure enough there was Asha looking at her with a glint in her eyes. Crystal had had enough sitting quietly was not what she should be doing she had questions that needed to be answered now. Swinging up from her chair she left the classroom a deadly light in her pale face. As she reached Storms classroom she walked in without a second thought. "Storm me and you have some things to discuss" she scowled. Not aware of the steely gaze of his teacher until she snapped "excuse me young lady what ever you have to say can wait".
"Now" screamed Crystal. Walking calmly Storm went and stood by her side. "Yes Crystal what did you want to say" he murmured. Turning she walked out of the room knowing he would follow her. "So why were you trying to kill me" Crystal asked angrily. "Darling I would never touch a hair on your head I'm sure you know that" he grinned.
"I know it was you" she hissed.
"Crystal why would I want to kill you" he asked solemnly.
"Look someone tried to kill me last night" Crystal cried her voice rising. What was the point she wasn't going to get any answers out of him so why was she even bothering?
Angrily Crystal turned and began to walk away only to feel Storms hand on her shoulder. "I'd never hurt you, you do no that don't you" he whispered. Staring into his mysteriously black eyes flecked with green she would have believed anything. "Yes" she murmured. Still looking into his eyes she moved into the circle of his arms, her head on his shoulder. As she lifted her arms around his neck she felt his hands on her waist. Humm things were definitely getting interesting smiling to herself she lay still. Not moving liking the feel of his arm around her. Above her head she didn't notice Storms face an evil grin on his handsome features. Abruptly Storm moved away from her what is the matter with the guy why is he blowing hot and cold? Can't he make up his mind? She watched as Storm walked back into his class without a backwards glance.
Later that evening her maid approached her, the telephone line clutched in her right hand. "Madam there a phone call for you" she whispered demurely. "Speak up has the cat got your tongue?" Crystal asked snidely grabbing the phone from her shaking hand she brought it to her ear. "Crystal I need you to come over right away its urgent" Sanama said in a rush.
