The Suspicion- Part 2

Derek's P.O.V.

I was walking over to Simons locker, and hoped that he had found it. After all, we just moved here a week ago, and just started in school today, so it takes some time to get used to the new environment. For me, at least. I was still paranoid about these new pepole.

Could that girl with blond hair be dangerous? How about that guy in the orange hoodie? Could he be a problem and making trouble for Simon or Tori? I know it sound paranoid, but that's how you become, when you live in fear of being reveald by the normal peopole. And put in a mental hospital. Or killed. Well, maybe not, but you have to be careful. And I, as a warewolf, was super-careful and, maybe, a little paranoid sometimes.

But, luckly, I had an other power too. I could read pepoles aura, or what ever you call it. I'ts not the same as read pepoles mind, no, couse that will be too easy, it's more like reading their feelings. I could see when they were lying, then their aura becomes grey.

When they are sad, blue. Happy, yellow. Disgust, green. Fear, purple. Angry, red. Guilt, dark blue. Suspicion, orange. White, natural. You get the idea. And also, supernaturals had like this extra ring around their aura. Wizards and witches, like Simon and Tori were shiny blue and violet. Warewolfs, like me, was silver. Ironic, is'nt it. Becouse in the myths, warewolfs can be killed by silverbullets.

Half-deamons were often orange or red, depending on what kind of half-deamon it was. Shamans were dark green. And necromancers...well, i have only met one, Margaret, one of my dad's co-workers. Her's was gold, and she told me, that i actually saw her 'glow', the one only the ghosts see, so they can find necromacers. Simon thought that was pretty cool. Me? Sure it was interresting, but it didn't bothered me, so I did'nt care.

I was in the hall, where Simon had his locker, when I smelled someone. Someone new. I came closer and saw it was a girl. Not that tall, actually. Around 5"3. She had strawberry-blond hair and her scent reminded me of vanilla. Her aura was white, natural. But either way, she was a stranger. And you have to be careful around strangers.

I maded it rigth behind her, when Simon saw me. "Oh, hey bro," he said. The girl turned around and looked at me. Her aura went purple. Oh, come on, im not that scary. Sure, I was huge and had some acne-scars, but I tried to hide it as good as I could. Then she said really loud: "You!" I shot her a glare. What the heck? What about me? Maybe she was a little behind or something, or just straight forward crazy.

Simon looked funny at us. You two know eatch other?" She turned to him and shook her head. What a stupid question, Si. Of course we don't! I wanted to yell. How in the world is that even possible? We just moved here, and it's not like I always want to hang out with others than you and Tori, well not that mutch Tori. I was'nt that popular. Actually not at all. I didn't like starngers. Did'nt trust them.

I was so in to my thoughts, that I did'nt quite catch, what the girl had said to me. So to not look stupid I just said: "Locker," She was actually standing in front of my locker. "Exuse me, what?" she said and looked cofuced. I grunted. Maybe she was a little behind.

"Behind you," I said. She began to blush, which I found kinda cute, actually. I quickly pushed that thought away. She moved and I opened my locker and started to put my stuff in it. "I think i better go off to class then," the girl behind me said. "Okay, but promise we'll meet at lunch?" Simon said. "Sure, no problem. Bye!"

The girl ran off, and just then I realised, that her aura had an extra ring. And it was very bright gold. "Oh my god," I said quitly. "Whats wrong?" Simon asked me. "She's a necromancer," I said. Simon looked chocked at me. "What? Are you sure?" I nodded slowly. "I did'nt notice it at first, but then it hit me, that she had an extra ring. And it was gold. Gold is neckomancers color."

Simon shaked his head. "Wow, an other supernatural at this school? Do you think ther's more?" I shot him a glare. "How could I know? I can't just be stareing at every person i pass and look for an extra ring in their aura. What will it look like? 'Oh, hi. Could you just stand still for a second, so I can have a look at your aura, and see if it has an extra supernatural-ring?' Yeah that would work out just great."

Simon smiled at my sarcastic comment, but his dark-purple aura told me he was worried. "You think she knows?" I shrugged. "Maybe we should tell her," he said and looked at me for a nod of approval. "No, not just like that. If she doesnt know, it migth only make it worse. I'll try to bring out the topic, if I get the chance, but I dont think she would open up to me that easy. When she saw me, she got really scared, so maybe she's afraid of me..."

Simon interrupted me. "Bro, you came out of nowhere, of course she got scared. But, if you cant reatch her, I will try. If you get the chance, go for it. If not, I will take care of it at lunch, ok?" I nodded. We walked to our classes.

"Hey, dont you find it weird, that there just wonder a necro around in our school?" I said and he shrugged. "Maybe its just a coincidence?" Now it was my turn to shrug.

"Technically there is tree times more chance to meet an albino, then a necromancer. There is only like a couple houndred of them in the states only. But maybe you're right," I pushed the thought away for later, and said bye to Simon, as we seperated our ways, he had Biology now, I had English.

"Class, this is our new student, D...David?" The teacher looked at me, and I mumbled "Derek," "Sorry, Derek Sauza. Well, mr. Sauza, you can take the seat next to ms. Saunders," she said and pointed at the seat next to... you guest it- The necromacer girl from before. Oh, god, what do I do now?

I walked over to my seat and sat down. I put my stuff out, and the teacher told us about an assignment, a novel of at least 6000 worst on the theme 'beyond human'. How original- but actually really inconvenient. And when she said that our partners were the person next to us, I could have jumped on the table, and start dancing, but that would be silly.

I tried to control my emotions, when a really, really loud snap sounded in my left ear. Man, that hurt. I was sure you could see the pain in my face.

As a warewolf I had super-hearing, so a snap right next to my ear is just like a blow-horn next to a normal ear. I turned my head to the necro-girl, that had harmed me. "What?" I said quitly, but I actually wanted to yell at her. Really mutch. "Are we gonna work on the assignment or what?"

I rolled my eyes. I bet she wants even litening. She was all blured out after the teacher started to talk. "Did you even hear what the assignment was?" I asked her. "Of course I did. It was...ehhhmm..." She smiled guilty at me. A small smirk appered on my face, but I hid it the same second. "We have to write a novel, at least 6000 words, the theme is 'beynd human'." She sighed.

"And what in the world does 'beyond human' mean" I shrugged. "I guess that is for us to find out," I said. "So, what does beyond human mean?" She said out loud, while she typed it in a document on her laptop. She looked like she was thinking. "God, maybe?" She looked questionally at me. "Sure," I said. We are getting close. She typed it down. "What more?" I saw my chance and took it.

"How about supernaturals?" I asked and watched her reaction. "Exuse me, what?" She looked surprised at me. Her aura changed to a purple-orange color. Scared and suspicios, intrresting "You know, wizards, witches, necromancers, half-deamons, shamans...warewolfs, stuff like that," I said and looked at her reaction to that.

She did'nt say anything, but her aura kept changing. Dark-purple, orange, then purple, then it stopped at orange. Weird. I put a hand on her arm. "Eh, are you okay?" She blinked and looked at me. "What? Oh, sorry, I just zoomed out for a second. Supernaturals you say? Sounds interesting. But, one question: Where do you have it from?"

I looked away and scratched the back of my neck. She was suspicios, but i wasnt sure, if it was suspicion for how mutch I knew, or if I was crazy, so I lied. "I...I like to read a lot, thats all," I said. She looked at me, and her aura became even more orange. "Really? Me too! But I'm actually more of a writer. I want to be director and script-writer when i grow up," She said and blinked innocent.

I shot her a glare. Was she playing me, or something? "That sounds interesting," I said. "So, supernaturals it is?" I asked her. "Sure, it sounds like fun," she said an other innocent smile. I shot her an other glare. What was she hidding? Suddenly the bell rang, and our teacher announced that we had lunch now. I was quick to grab my stuff and litterly run out of the class. I had to tell Simon about this.

I found him in the cafeteria, where he already sat at a table with Tori. She was doing something at her phone, but looked up when I sat down across from Simon. "Simon told me, that you've met a necro-girl," she said. I nodded. "I had English with her, and we became partners at this assingment. I mentioned the topic 'supernatural', and, well...she kinda turned orange."

Tori looked up from her phone and gave me a smirk. "What, like a carrot?" I rolled my eyes at her, but couldnt hold back a little smirk. "No, her aura turned orange. That means she got suspicios. Really suspicios. I think of it in two ways: Either she thinks I know something about her or she thinks im crazy."

Simon couldnt hold back a little laugh. "There she is," he said and waved like crazy. After a minute and a half, she came to out table. "Hi Chloe!" Oh, so that what her name was. "Go on, sit where ever you want," Simon said with a smirk. "Is this seat taken?" She asked me and pointed at the seat next to me. "No," I said. She sat next to to and took out her lunch. Pizza. She just took a bite when Simon said:

"So, I heard you and Derek are partners in English," She nodded. "Yah, e eith afout surfenutuhals."

Simon giggled. "What?" She swallowed and smiled embaressed. I couldnt hold back a smirk. "I said, that we are writing about supernaturals," she said. Simon made big eyes and looked at me. "Really?" he asked, looking at me. Okay, so I didnt bring it up as he thougth I would, and now we kind of have to talk about it a lot, but he said so himself. If saw a chance I should go for it.

Chloe looked at us, and tried to hide a smile behind her pizza-slice.

Tori looked up from her phone, that she was playing on under the whole conversation and shot her a glare. "Whats so funny?" she asked cold. "N-n-nothing. I-I just thought of-f s-s-something," she said. Luckly for me, Simon turned towards them. "Oh, where are my manners," he said.

"Chloe this is my sister, Tori. Tori, this is Chloe." He looked at Tori with the same glare he just have given me. Only it did'nt work at her. "Anyways," Simon said and looked at Chloe. "Since you are partners and have an assignment to do, maybe you would like to come over at our house after school? You know, so you and Derek can work on the assignment," he said with an innocent smile.

Okay, so that's how you want to do it? Just show her our powers, and see how she reacts? Good plan Si, really good. Maybe she wouldnt run away just like that, maybe she even wanted to see your fog. I rolled my eyes. She responded him with just as inoocent smile: "Sure, that would be lovely." Yep this is gonna be sooo fun. Oh, sorry, lovely.
