Hey guys! It's musisbeast again! (No DUH! Who else would it be!) I've been working on this chapter with chapter 1 so I hope you like it!
DICLAIMER:
Musicbeast does not own Alice Academy, but she does own the characters Angelika, Jade, Claire, etc…
Any resemblance to the names, events or powers is purely coincidence.
Chapter 2
When I entered the office, I noticed a woman sitting in a single chair. Behind her were two men wearing black suits, a tie, glasses and an earpiece. The room was dimly lit, but the sunlight showed just enough that you could see her face and the two men. The women wore a black suit that fit her nicely which also matched the necklace and jewellery that she wore. She had wrinkles in her mouth so I could tell she smiled a lot.
Her eyes gleamed with pride and kindness as she looked at Jade and I. "Please, have a seat" She said with a strong but frail voice.
Jade look at me with caution, then back at the lady, examining her as if they were about to go into battle. But the way she stared at us made me feel intimidated, yet at the same time I eflt safe.
There was a long silence and finally she spoke after making a minuscule cough. "I am Madame Elise de Renaldo, but you may call me Madame Elise. I am one of the teachers and scouts for Alice Academy."
As she spoke, I noticed that she had wrinkles around her mouth that could be the cause of her smiling or frowning alot.
At that moment, my throat went dry and I started to stare at Madame Elise with confusion and fright. She looked at me examining my movements and emotions as if she was reading my mind.
Does she know what I can do? Is this a scam? A dozen of thoughts rang in my head when she finally spoke, freeing me from every word that went into my mind.
"Yes, I can read your thoughts, yes I know what you are capable of, and no this is not some sort of... what you call, a scam."
She paused briefly looking at me and Jade with empathy as if she had been through the experience before. "I, like you and your friend have been blest with incredible powers." She took her hand out in the air and placed it upward as if waiting for something to drop on it. Suddenly, one of the men behind her took two folders that I just noticed and stacked them on her hand.
"Enjeru Sakura Hyuuga, Age 16, Born June 7. Has an affinity for the elements and has various weapon and Martial Arts skills." I gawked at her wondering where she knew all of that information. I quickly snaped out of it and noticed that she used my real name.
"Actually, can you call me Angelika or Angel? It's just that I'm used to that name now that it seems weird for me to hear my actually name out loud."
"Well, as you wish. I feel though that Enjeru suits you well."
She didn't say anything after that. I didn't say anything either so I left it at that. I was way to intimidated to say anything more.
Next she closed my folder and then opened up, what I presumed, was Jade's. I was wondering what could be in that folder because Jade never told me anything about her having any power before.
Jade had always been really smart and creative when it came to technology. She had brown hair, brown eyes and was a bit taller than me. To a lot of guys thought she was cute, but she never even bothered to notice them. She was my best friend since I was born. My parents and her parents went to the same school when they were younger. But it seem that they were really close friends that they decidded to move to America together.
Jade's name was actually Jeido in Japanese. Again, her parents thought that it was easier for American's so say her name as Jade so she could avoid the embarassment all together.
Madame Elise opened up her folder while Jade looked lost and confused, wondering what her Alice might have been. "Jeido Imai Nogi, Age 16, Born February 16. She has a very strong invention Alice." She ended as she stared at Jade, waiting for a reaction to come.
"Excuse me," she finally said, "could you please call me Jade instead? Just like Angelika, I'm not really used to it."
By the time she finished those words, my head was in a complete spin and I had so many different questions to ask. Before I could take another breath, she continued on with another conversation.
"We have already talked to your parents about this matter. Your father Angelika refused to let you go, but after some convincing, they said it would be okay if you went to Alice Academy as long as we had your consent first."
"Wait, you talked to our parents about this!" Jade said bit more vicious than she should have.
"If you would please calm down Miss. Nogi, I assure you, nothing happened while we were there. We just went to your dwellings to ask you parents' permission."
I was too stunned to say anything. There were so many things that I wanted to say but nothing came out. Finally, I calmed down just enough to ask my question.
"I know my parents went to Alice Academy when they were younger and I was just wondering what we'll be doing there since my dad never really talked about it..." I looked down suddenly interested in my clothing. I always do that when I get nervous about something.
"Well, you Angelika will be going to the Dangerous abilities class like you father. You will be learning how to control your powers, how to use it so you won't faint as much... and if necessary, use it in combat when others need you the most."
I was a bit stunned to hear that I was useful for something. My parents always told me to never use my powers, because we never knew if something would go wrong, and my mother would not be there to help me. Madame Elise continued anyway, stopping any flash backs that could have probably entered my thoughts.
She looked at Jade. "You Miss. Nogi will be going to the Technical Abilities Class, where you will be creating different inventions for yourself. You also have the other option of showing it off to other buissnessmen where they will buy it off from with a large amount of money."
Jade looked excited and full of energy while she was eager to say something until she was interrupted by one of the men behind Mme. Elise. He started whispering in her ear as she nodding approvingly.
"Since your parents have graduated from Alice Academy, you will be known as legacies in the campus and will be reassured a spot as 2 star students. You will be upgrated or demoted to another star ranking based on your performance at school, your attitude, and how you use your powers. Now there is only one question left for you... will you accept our offer?"
We looked at each other briefly, knowing what we wanted. "Yes, we accept the offer."
