Chapter 7: The Meeting

Marie was walking out of the school. She had a downcast stare as she walked.

"Hey look there's the freak!" Emily yelled and pointed at Marie. Her stupid friends laughed at the remark as Marie past on by.

Marie pulled her bag tighter over her shoulder and ran. Todd had just come out of the building and was looking for her. He just did catch a glimpse of her running away. He sighed he didn't know what to do. Today in class she did tell him she was fine and that she just need to be alone for a while. He didn't understand why but he would respect her wishes and let her be. The last thing he needed was for her to be mad at him.

"Hi Todd." Emily's annoying voice sounded in his ear. She took him by the arm and led him to the table where she and her friends were sitting. Todd knew he was in for a long maddening session with this bunch but he didn't have anything else he could do.

Marie had run a good distance she found herself at the entrance to the park. She slowed and walked in. Her face and eyes wet from crying. She walked down the sidewalk thinking about everything. "It's not fair what have I done to deserve this?" She sighed. "I just wanna be normal." She walked further into the park. Marie had been in the park for about an hour now. She felt like she didn't have much reason to be here what could she do? She was a freak all she had ever done was scare people. Marie's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sounds of yelling. She looked to her left and in a fare way of grass she saw something rather strange. There was a male panther fighting against a bunch of what looked to be some sort of ninja. The whole gag of them were dressed in blue from head to toe there faces hid behind blue face masks. Marie ran toward him he needed help and she was the only one around. One of the ninja had grabbed the panther from behind and strapped one arm around his neck. Another had pulled out a dagger and was about to kill him.

Just then as the panther was about to meet his end the ninja with the dagger was kicked to the ground. "Hey back off!" Marie yelled.

The panther did a kick so high it came slightly over his own shoulder knocking out the ninja that was restraining him. He and Marie were back to back they were totally surrounded. Marie thought for sure they were dead until it hit her. She leaned her neck back against his and turned her head slightly so she was whispering to him. "Take my hand."

"What? We just met." He looked at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Just do it." Marie felt his hand gently clasp hers. Then she closed her eyes. She did what she had been fibrin to do she began to imagine. Then she and the panther began to glow with a bright light. Marie didn't know why but felt as thought she should say two words. Two words that her father had taught her a while back. "Chaos control" The two disappeared leaving the ninja empty handed.

The two reappeared on a rooftop in the city. Marie felt so light headed she put a hand to her brow. She began to fall backwards. "Wo wo wo." The panther turned around just in time to catch her. "That was amazing. You're amazing." He smiled as he helped Marie steady herself. "What's your name?"

She turned so she facing him his arms still around her. She felt a light blush across her cheeks as she stared at him. He was rather attractive he had black fur that was soft but ruff around the edges deep green eyes and he wore a pair of faded demons with the knees tore out. Marie's eyes were wide for a moment as she looked him over once more and noticed her hands were resting on his arms. It looked as if they were a couple. "My name is Marie."

"A beautiful name for a beautiful woman" he still had yet to release her. "You have such an amazing power too."

"Oh please please don't tell anyone about my powers!" Her hands were gripping his arms now her eyes fearful.

"Calm down I won't tell anyone why would I? People would treat you different if they knew you had powers."

"How do you know that?" Marie was quiet once again.

"Because I have powers too." His eyes closed slightly as if he were concentrating. Marie suddenly found herself floating she was at least five foot off the ground. He lowered her down gently but as he did he went into more detail. "I can perform telepathy."

Marie's feet were once again on the ground. "That's amazing are you a mind reader too?"

"I have telekinetic powers but not the ability to read minds." He smiled still. He seemed very sure of himself. A quality Marie thought she could never posses.

"It was nice to have met you ahhh…" She had forgotten to ask his name that made her feel a bit dense.

"Name's Chase" he took her hand in his. "I would like it very much if you would allow me to teleport with you to your home. It's not often I get to meet someone else with powers."

Marie was almost overwhelmed he was moving so fast. "I…I can't." "I'm not suppose to…to use my powers." Well technically she wasn't to use her powers unless it was an emergence. Her parents worried and they wanted to make sure she had full control over her powers before using them so simultaneously.

"What, but being told not to use your powers is like being told not to be yourself."

Marie's eyes widened as she jerked around to face him. Those words were so true in her mind. Maybe that was why she always felt so terrible that was why she felt so empty all the time. It was because she was being kept from being who she was. "Chase I have to go."

"I want to see you again." He took her hands in his. "Please." Marie smiled and blushed. "Meet me at the North entrance to the park same time okay." His body began to lift into the air and then it was lowering over the edge of the building. She ran to the side of the rooftop and looked down she just did catch a small glimpse of him running down the next street corner but that was it.

Marie was now facing the setting sun. She closed her eyes and began to focus. Her body slowly started to vanish and as it did she whispered to herself "chaos control."

Marie reappeared on her front lawn. She looked around luckily no one was around to see her. She fell backwards onto the grass. She thought she was all alone but she wasn't someone was watching her.

"Got cha!" Marie almost screamed when someone suddenly had her pined to the ground by her wrists. Todd smiled down at her. "It was a little to easy this time Marie."

"Todd…" Marie smiled and rolled her eyes. "Okay what do I have to do?"

"In return for your release you have to tell me where you've been all day."

"I was out just walking and thinking about things that's all." She didn't want to tell anyone about Chase not yet but it did hurt. It hurt really bad to lie to Todd.

"Hey what's wrong?" He release one of her wrists but only so he could push a stray hair out of her face. "Come on Marie you're losing your womanly glow that attracts me so." "Let me see you smile."

"What?" Marie's voice was almost gone her face was a bit sad from the sting of lying.

"Your smile it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen." "It makes me happy to see you smile."

Marie didn't know why but she suddenly sat up with him and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you Todd." She wasn't sure what had come over here all she knew was that he had awaken a flame in her and there was no dousing it now.

So who do you think Marie likes better Todd or Chase? Well we'll see soon. They both seem to have the hots for her don't they.
