Half-Blood Academy of Super Powers
Chapter Three
Nico couldn't sleep. He constantly thought of things that bothered, and disturbed him. Nico would dream of his past memories of Bianca, or how life would be like with her. Either way, it hurt him badly.
Emery wasn't sure how she felt about Nico. When she first saw the dark circles under his eyes, and his shaggy messy hair, she couldn't help but search his head. Every time she tapped into people's memories, people's life, they also see it too. It was hard to separate her own feelings from others, because when she scanned their minds, it became a part of hers too. Another downside was that she also could feel the sadness and the pain. Trackers don't last very long for that specific reason.
Emery jumped at the sudden knock at her door. She turned to Nico to see if he woke up, but he was unfazed. When she opened the door, something struck her hard. It was a memory, her own. Trackers' memories are hidden and piled under their pupils. Certain times, they happen suddenly, like flashbacks. (I used this to explain Hazel's flashbacks)
She quickly recovered, and opened the door. Emery expected it to be Cassie, one of her closest friends, but it was Max, her boyfriend. There were fresh tears rolling down his face. She was tempted to look into his mind, to find the answer quickly, but she was also afraid of what she would find.
"Something happened to her, am I right?" Emery said flatly, trying to hide the stubborn tears.
"Don," Max paused, swallowing his tears. "He-"
"That sick bastard!" She yelled, throwing my hands up in the air. When her anger subsided, she heard the shuffles that belonged to Nico. They took the conversation outside, and she shut the door closed.
"What did he do?!" Emery yelled pushing Max to the wall. "Please, just tell me!" She was desperate for the answer, and was also trying hard to not mind read.
"Look into my mind," Max gave a small smile. "You'll find out."
"Max, it'll replay in your head." Emery said cautiously.
"I don't give a fuck." He said sternly. She let go of him and sighed. Emery searched his files of memories, and found the one that struck him the most. The sight of Don almost made her gag, and she looked at it, surprised. Don gotten stronger, and his training showed. There Cassie was, dissolving right in front of them. When the memory became too overwhelming, Emery shut it off.
"Guys, whats going on?" Nico said, rubbing his eyes. His eyes looked back and forth between Emery and Max. "Did you guys have a fight or something? If you guys need advice, just to let you know in advance, I'm-"
"No," Emery said firmly. "His girlfriend was... She died." Nico froze at the thought.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't-"
"Of course you didn't know." Emery paused. "You should go back to bed, lots will be discussed tomorrow morning. We'll also start your training."
"What about you? You should get some sleep as well," Nico said, a bit worried. Emery was surprised by his concern for her.
"There are some matters I need to attend to." Emery said, as she quickly turned on her heels. Max trailed behind her.
