Psychic Academy: On the Other Side

Based on the popular manga series by Katsu Aki

By Darkensea

Chapter 2:

The train rolled along the tracks in its steady tones. It traveled out of the city and across a wide flowery country side. Mylki sat in a corner compartment of the train next to the window, watching the scenery fly by. He had changed in to his new school uniform and threw a light jacket over his shoulder.

Physically he was on his way to the Psychic Academy but his mind was traveling back through his memories of the past. He was five again and was on a school beach trip. He sat with Melana on the sand packing sand and water together trying to build a sand castle and how the waves kept coming and washing a way what they had built because they were to close to the ocean. This was the first time he had met Tami. They were more carefree back then and Tami had sat out some rock not far away from him and Melana, watching the ocean come in and out. The wind was playing with her long hair. He remembered her doing that often, pulling out the band that held her hair up and letting the wind take control. She had always loved nature in that way; tending to plants and letting the wind flow around her. It was those things that made her special.

A gentle taps on the shoulder harshly broke his train of thought and returned him to reality. He looked up to see a girl slightly older than he was, standing over him. She had flaming red hair and deep jade green eyes.

"Excuse me," She said. Even though she was older than him, her voice still carried the high pitch of childhood, making her sound like she was ten years old. "Is this seat taken?" She motioned to the seat next to him.

"No." Mylki replied shifting his belongings around so she could sit, then returning his attention to back out the window, to a river the train was passing over, trying to remember where his thoughts were at before his interruption. His train of thought however was lost. He continued staring at the scenery. Then he caught a reflection in the window. The girl was staring at him.

"May I help you?" He asked her without turning around to face her. This seem to startle her, He smirked at this.

"Do you go to the Psychic Academy?" She asked. Her question caught him off guard. He recovered quickly hoping she didn't notice. She continued on without waiting for a response. "The uniform is the give way. Just as a warning, many people in the town around the school don't like students of the academy. So it wouldn't be wise to wear your uniform outside of the school gates."

"People don't like the students of the academy?"

"Mostly it is a combination of fear and envy. Some people are envious of students and wish they had aura powers. Others are afraid of students, and believe the school is a conspiracy to take over the world." She paused for a moment then quickly added. "I'm really not bothered by it. In fact I think it is kind of cool."

"You seem to know a lot about the Academy." Mylki stated.

The girl recoiled, and then said, "Um... I have a few friends that go to the Academy." She paused while Mylki gave her a questioning look. She looked off into the distance as her voice began to trail off. "Actually, my friends are the group that causes fear in the town. Not really something to brag about.".

Mylki turned back to the window. New place, new rules, he thought. These would have to be things he would get used to only by living with them for a while. He pressed his head against the cold window pane. Watching as his breath fog up the glass. His sadness over the lost of Tami and Melana returned. He closed his eyes and let his mind slip away again.

The train continued along the tracks covered by the darkness of night. The lights in the compartments had been turned off to allow riders who wanted to sleep to opportunity to do so. Mylki slept peacefully on the girl's shoulder. She didn't seem to mind though. She was to busy with what she was doing. She held a glow orange ball of energy over Mylki's lap. Half trying to keep it there, half trying to probe deeper. She was muttering under her breath. "This doesn't make sense. His aura is so dim, it's as though he doesn't have powers at all, why is he going to the academy?" The ball faded away as she lost concentration and swooned from the headache, over using her aura left her with. She rested her head on Mylki's shoulder and soon fell asleep. The glowing residual aura left around her hands faded away dropping the compartment in to total darkness.
