~Alice's POV~

I looked up at him as I just put a bite of food in my mouth while he looked at me his eyes filled with curiosity. I chew my food putting my fork down. I knew this topic would come up eventually and I have to tell him. In this situation we shouldn't keep things from each other, right? I swallow the bite of food and sigh before speaking up "well I control darkness and shadows". The curiosity in his eyes switched to interest and a little confusion. I grab my fork and pick up my fork scooping up another bite but before I brought it to my mouth he asked what that meant. I put my fork back down looking up at him. "welllll like I can make any room pitch black. I can sink into the shadows and hide or travel between them, form shadow creators, once... I even made someone temporally blind."

I got back to eating still feeling his eyes glued to me. After a little while he picked up his fork and resumed his eating as well. I swallowed my last bite and grabbed my glass of water taking a sip before returning my gaze towards him. "so... what's yours? What's your power?" he got up a he also finished his food and grabbed his plate while responding. "I control weather. Like wind, rain and my favorite" he lifted his hand electric sparks flickering in-between them "lightning" I heard him chuckle and realized my mouth was open as i stared at his hand. I shook my head and watched him take my plate to and take it to the kitchen sink.

I had never really told anyone about my powers. I never wanted them to begin with. Why me? Why did I of all the people in the word have to end up like this? I stared down to my hands. Those stupid powers never brought me any good! Only misery and pain. And then I haven't even started about the pain it has caused others. I never wanted to hurt them... but I just lost control. It was all my fault... If I had not lost it that day I wouldn't have hurt them, and those people wouldn't have found me! It was all my fault...

~Shun's POV~

I dumped the dishes into the sink. I'll do them tomorrow. My mind wasn't really able to focus on scrubbing plates. Instead it wandered to Alice and her powers. Mainly how they would come in handy in our escape. They would be a valuable asset in the plan. If I had one that is I had a lot to figure out still. One thing bugged me though. When she told me about what her powers were she seemed so sad and angry not really like the sweet shy girl that lived here for a couple of weeks. As I walked back into the dinning room I noticed Alice was staring down at her hands and that she was crying.

I walked over to her and softly laid a hand on her shoulder. She flinched in surprise as she had probably not seen me approach her. She quickly wiped her cheeks and turned to me "y-yes?" I kneeled next to her seeing her eyes were still red and puffy from crying. "you don't have to hide that from me. What's wrong? Why are you crying" she turned her face away from mine whispering "nothing" with a soft crack in her voice. I softly grabbed her chin and made her look at me "what's wrong?" her eyes filled up with tears again suddenly she wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my chest. I was a bit surprised but as I heard her soft sobs I wrapped my arms around her softly rubbing her back and resting my head on hers not asking any questions just comforting her. I didn't expect her to break down like that. Had it something to do with her powers? Is this because I asked about them? I hope I didn't upset her...
