Chapter 9

Within the last two weeks my life consisted of college, work and training. Every day I got home and collapsed on my bed. I knew that my family were slightly worried that I was pushing myself too hard, but I had to keep myself busy. It was what kept me going at the end and beginning of each day.

One morning I was woken up by Isaac singing beautiful stranger. He had the song on replay every single day and it was beginning to get on my nerves. Actually it got on my nerves the first time he played it, but when it was played non-stop I was having to convince myself to not to use my gift on him. I waited until he left for work before going into his room and stealing the CD. I ran down the stairs and into the back garden. I didn't want to break it because that left too much evidence. No I just wanted the CD to 'disappear'. I stood in the garden and threw it like it was a Frisbee. Surprisingly the CD went much further than I was expecting it to, but that was actually a good thing. The further the thing went, the better. You know when you play a song you like so much that it starts to irritate you? Now imagine a song that you hate being played constantly to the point that it was stuck in your head. The worst thing was that Isaac couldn't even sing, if he could I may have dealt with it a bit longer.

I dusted my hands off and walked into the kitchen to make myself a bowl of Cheerios and cup of coffee with a whole load of sugar in both of them.

I ate my breakfast alone. Everyone else were getting dressed. I did things in an opposite order to my family. While everyone in my family got dressed then had breakfast, I had breakfast the moment i woke up and then got dressed. As I was going up the stairs to get ready, Kael and Hayden were coming down to have their breakfast.

"Morning boys" I said with a sweet smile

"What have you done?" Kael asked

"What ever do you mean?" I said in a posh voice

"It means your overly sweet smile is oddly suspicious" Hayden chimed in "You haven't been in a good mood since Isaac got a hold of that Beautiful stranger CD"

"None of us have" Kael rolled his eyes

"I may or may not have made that issue disappear" A devious smile spread across my face

"Details?" Hayden asked.

I tapped my nose "The less you know the better"

And with that I ran up the stairs. Like hell was I divulging the full details of what I did. I was nowhere near that stupid.

I pulled on my usual outfit. A knitted jumper, jeggings and combat boots. My wardrobe was what most people would call simple. But i didn't care, it was comfortable, and that was all that mattered to me.

Once I was ready I leaned up against the hallway wall. Theo was taken to school by either my mum, dad or Blake. Whilst me and the twins went in the car that they shared, we had always gone to school together. Since we were close in age it always made things simpler for the whole family.

"Ready?" Hayden said, whilst twirling the car keys on his finger. Kael followed closely behind him

"Yup" I swung open the door and walked over to the car. If it was any other time of the day, I would have skipped. But it was the morning, and I did not have that much energy in the morning, even after a cup of coffee filled with sugar.

I pulled myself into the back seat the moment Hayden unlocked the door. Once both the twins were in the car we zoomed off to college.

College passed quickly. I spent lunch with Liana and Jael, which made me feel like the biggest third wheel with them being Soulfinder's and all. It was irritating listening to them flirt and having to stop myself from gagging when ever they made out.

By the end of the day I just wanted to get to work, weird I know but I enjoyed it there. The library was always quiet and provided me with much wanted comfort.

I walked out of college and into the parking lot and waited by brothers car. Across from me was Raphael and a bunch of his friends. I had been right about him being a jerk. The moment it came to college he acted like a jackass, and I wanted nothing more than to send him to hospital. But him being my best friends Soulfinder's brother, stopped me from doing so. The fact that I liked his mum and dad also stopped me from doing anything. How two amazing people like Naheul and Kareena created a douchebag like Raphael was something that science couldn't even explain.

It took me a while to realise I was staring, and he was staring back at me with a smug look on his face.

"Hey Samara, take a picture it will last longer!" He shouted from across the car park. He knew I hated being spotlighted and he did it just to spite me. It seemed like he wanted me to hate him. I shot him a poisonous look, but it had no effect whatsoever.

I rolled my eyes and focused my gaze behind him. Raphael being the conceited jerk that he was, still thought that I was staring at him and shouted "Hey I know I'm good looking but can you stop staring? it is creeping me out" all of his friends laughed. Some of the girls that he was with shot me a look that said 'he's mine'.

But I no longer cared about Raphael's jerky ways or the bunch of people that were laughing at me, I was well past caring the moment I saw 'him'. But he wasn't alone. He had someone who was slightly taller than him with black hair, blue eyes and a muscular build. Nathaniel was now staring back at me with a smirk on his face, like he was glad to be noticed. They both stood at the edge of the woods just staring, like I was their favourite show. You probably are. I thought to myself, this just made me start to panic slightly more. They started to talk to each other, what were they talking about? I closed my eyes and focused on what they were saying.

"Your right, i can sense that she has great potential" The voice was one that I had not recognised before, it must have been the black haired one

"I know, I have been watching her for some time, and she is a complete beauty behind the jumper and hair bun." Nathaniel replied. I could hear the ice in his voice "When are we going to take her?" The question sent a shiver through me. Take me?

"Soon" The other one replied "I think I want to get to know her when we take her" I could hear a smile spread across his face.

My eyes shot open. I started to look around full of panic, I needed my brothers. The moment Hayden saw my face he ran over to me and gripped my shoulders. "Samara! What is the matter?"

I looked back over to where they were standing. They hadn't moved, like they knew that they would never get caught. Hayden followed my gaze and the moment he saw them his grip tightened.

"That's him!?" his voice was barely a whisper. I wasn't sure whether it was a question or statement. He knew what Nathaniel looked like, but I know that he didn't want it to be true.

It seemed like Raphael had grasped what was going on, because he walked straight over to us "What's going on?"

Hayden looked back over to the two men but I just stared at my hands. I couldn't forget what they had said. Raphael followed his gaze then stared back at us "We need to get you home!"

That's when I realised, they wanted that. They were going to follow us. "No!" I almost shouted

"Are you crazy?" Raphael asked me. Why was he suddenly so caring when just a minute ago he was insulting me across the car park?

"No they want me to go home" I said shaking my head, I wanted to cry but I remained calm "They are waiting for the chance"

"What do you mean?" Hayden asked, he was kneeling in front of me so he had to look up to meet my gaze.

"The chance to take me" I replied, they both stood in silence

"Are you sure?" Hayden was terrified

I nodded, I wasn't going to tell them what else they said. That would make them worry more. Like hell was I going to let them ruin my life. I closed my eyes and focused my gift, sending low frequency sound waves right at them. I had learnt that low frequencies were dangerous for humans, so I wanted to see how they dealt with them. I looked up to see both of their noses bleeding, but they were both smirking. That seriously pissed me off. I amplified my powers and sent some sonic sound waves towards them that seriously knocked them off their feet.

"Samara stop!" Hayden said in a harsh whisper "You are seriously going to give yourself some health problems"

"What was she doing?" Raphael asked, he didn't know the extent of my gift so had no idea what I was doing

"She is using her gift. She's been training and studying in order to control her gift more" Hayden said calmly, I could hear the tiniest bit of pride in his voice but it was mainly irritation "Stay with her Raphael I need to get Kael" Hayden ran back into the college in search of Kael.

I looked up to see that the two guys had disappeared, seems like that they stopped taking me as a joke. As I calmed myself down Raphael just stood their staring at me "What?" I said, irritated

"Nothing" But he continued to stare at me

"Hey I know I'm good looking but can you not stare? Its kind of creeping me out" I copied what he had said to me, I didn't imitate his voice though.

"Woah rude much?" that made me snap

"So you can act like a complete jerk and the moment I say something that you said to me I'm the rude one?" He really liked to make me angry and with him my temper was shorter than it was with anybody else "You are so lucky we are in a public parking lot" I mutter more to myself than to him

"Wait did I say that?"

I gave him a 'duh' look and then looked at the entrance to see Hayden rushing out with Kael on his heels. I held up my hand as a signal for whoever had the keys to throw it to me. Kael understood it with ease and chucked the car keys at me. I caught it as if it was a simple task. I unlocked the car and began to slide into the passenger seat but Raphael grabbed my arm "Look I'm sorry"

"I hate it when people say sorry and never actually mean it! What's the point if you are just going to go back and do the exact same thing?" I was tired of him and his empty apologies "Sorry seems like something that you just say for the sake of it. How about you try meaning it for once?" At that I pulled my arm at out his grasp and slammed the door.

"Double check that they are gone Samara" Hayden said as I handed him the keys

I closed my eyes and used Echolocation, I only got the people on the campus. But in order to be sure I focused my hearing to see if I could hear anything out of the ordinary. "I cant hear anything" I replied

Hayden rolled down the window to speak to Raphael "We are going straight home and so should you, just to be safe" Raphael nodded in response

"Crap!" I shouted and shuffled through my bag for my phone

"What?" Kael inquired

"I needa call my boss, yeah she's nice but when she acts cold its kind of scary"

"Wait your scared of an old lady?" Kael said almost choking on laughter

"Like you aren't" I said with a raise of my eyebrow "I can talk to her while we drive" I looked at Hayden "can you make the car invisible just to be safe"

"Its like you read my mind" his lip tugged to one side "I'm going to have to bring the car round the back so no one sees"

I nodded . As he started the engine I pulled out my phone to call my boss.

"Hi miss Briggs" my voice was dripping with sweetness

"What do you want Samara?" I barely knew the woman and she already knew my tendencies

"I kinda cant come into work today"

"How did I know that's what you were going to say" she sighed "okay, you can make it up to me by helping me set up the exhibition tomorrow"

"Ughh okay" I moaned "what time?"

"It starts at 6 so you need to be there at four. You can bring the clothes that you will wear with you"

I was kind of happy about how things turned out, it meant that my mum could not force me to wear makeup

"Okay see you tomorrow at four then boss" I said with a grin on my face

"Bye Samara" I could tell that she was smiling as well

I hanged up and put my phone back in my bag

"So your off the hook?" Kael asked

I let out a breath "yeah but I gotta set up the exhibition tomorrow "

They both started laughing at the extra work load I had to do the next day

We pulled up to the drive way and Hayden let go of the invisibility on the car. We all rushed into the house and Kael called for our mum and dad.

I flopped onto the couch and started rubbing my temples.

"What happened?" My mum said strolling into the living room

"Nathaniel and some other guy showed up" Hayden said arms crossed

"He wasn't alone?" The question wasn't directed to just one person, it was for whoever would answer her, which wasn't going to be me

"No" Hayden stopped, questioning whether he should tell our parents the rest. I looked at him and nodded before going back to rubbing my temples "They are planning to kidnap Samara"

Their eyes bulged in shock and fear.

"We made sure they were gone and we turned the car invisible just to be safe" Hayden added

"Are you okay?" my dad his voice was shaky, probably because I was rubbing my temples

"Just got a headache" I replied

Both of my parents seemed confused by response

"She used her gift" Hayden smirked "She literally knocked them off their feet"

"I need some more training though. I can't be getting a headache as soon as I use my gift" I was disappointed that such little caused me so much pain.

"You did well" Kael interrupted "You've progressed so much in such a short time"

I sighed, leaning up against the couch and closing my eyes. I was so exhausted and I didn't even know it.

The last words I heard were my mum whispering "We should let her sleep". After that I slipped into dreamland.
