" Is it necessary for you to leave? We have already arranged for a representative for the exchange program. You don't need to waste your senior years for something like this? You can go on a vacation if you need a break. Why are you insisting on going for the Exchange Student Program? "Braze's mother had no knowledge that he was applied to be on that list, even though she was the principal. It was primarily because it was a trivial matter and things like these were handled by her subordinates. It was when her son was about to leave, that she knew about the matter and she definitely didn't look pleased. " I just want to go for the ESP, Mama. What's the big deal about it? "It wasn't like he and his mother were particularly affectionate. Besides, he too needed his time away from Mira. He knew he was running from his reality. Those dreams that were haunting him lately, those urges that were telling him that he didn't belong where he was, those voices that were whispering in his cons
Mia's POV" So you study here. Were you on holiday when... when we first met? I mean when you saved me? "It was a little awkward when we saw each other again at the canteen. There was no running away this time. He came right up to me with his hand full of food and drinks, while, I only had a sandwich. Well that was all I could afford with my food pass because there were too many options to get spoiled from. Too many exquisite dishes spread all across the gigantic hall. He smiled instead of answering. " Come, let's take that table and eat. I am starving. "He grabbed me by my wrist and pulled to the corner most empty seat. " Here, eat... " He thrust the big packet of nachos right in my face. " Oh, thank you so much... you didn't tell me you had such a generous boyfr... I mean friend Mia. "It was Stella, my new found , self proclaimed best friend. I have no idea where she appeared from. She pouced right at the packet from over my head, dropping crumbs all over my dress as she gobb
Braze's POV" Stop. Please stop. Please don't shout,I am not here to hurt you. I need help. "I was trying to tell her through my gruff voice but my words drowned when I accidentally pressed the hot water button in the shower. It didn't feel much when it fell on my back but the moment it touched her fair, naked skin, I could see scalding , instantly. Nobody could blame her when she went out yelling again, and screaming as I fought hard to stop the water that had caused all the mayhem. Within the next few seconds the guards were at the door, ringing her bell. She grabbed her bathrobe and ran towards the door knob. I don't know if it was the urgency of the situation or my new found abnormality, but I literally flew past her and held the doorknob before she could unlock the latch. " I am not here to hurt you. "This time I articulated perfectly. I fell on her feet but she jumped back, possibly thinking I was a perverted being. I should have been faster than my body and told her mor
***At Chemora-Present Day***" You say you could detect some of them? Is that correct? "Kilian asked , his purple eyes sparking with excitement. He was floating in a pitch black, backdrop but there was a cable tied firmly at his waist. Apparently, it was there to hold him back. It was there so he would not float away. He was talking with a voice. The voice came to him very feeble and he could not see the face of the speaker. " Not some, only one. I could detect some energy blasts. Very soft and momentary. I think his powers are just awakening. It's at the earliest stage. The energy blasts are involuntary and the frequency is also unpredictable. We haven't been able to locate him yet but we are all working at that. I am hoping , we will be able to send you a positive report soon. "The voice concluded. " You say it's a he, not a she. Are you certain? "Kilian's voice sounded a little disappointed. " Very certain Lord Kilian. I would not report a mistake. "Kilian nodded. " You ca
Mira's POV" What's with these hot boys Mira. I thought you were like me. But you seem to be like so 'happening'. "Stella's nose zoomed in, in front of my eyes. I was lying on the grass, at the campus. The lawn was at the back, so I was just trying to get some fresh air, privately. The day was lost, trying to explain the incident at the police station. Our principal, Braze's mom, got involved and things took a little time to settle down. I, got dragged in the spotlight, along with him, for no reason.I was trying to peacefully watch the white butterfly hover all around me. These things never seemed odd, like the thunder whenever I was sad or the butterfly, whenever I was anxious. It was what I was used to, ever since I was a baby. What I wasn't used to, was Stella. She shoved me so hard that my poor butterfly flew away. " Come on. Tell me Mira. What's your secret. "" Leave that girl alone."I pulled my head up to look at who was speaking. It was my roommate. She was towering ov
Mira's POVDid I still have feelings for Braze? Hell no! Not after what he did to me. I was not that pitiful. Why then, was my heart beating abnormally? Every time I closed my eyes , I could see Betty, on Braze's lap. I was definitely going crazy. " Shit! It's thundering again. I hate thunder! "Razzak was busy closing all the windows, one by one. She then came inside my blanket and cuddled up. " I am sorry. Please bear with me. Ouch! "She yelled as another round of thunder claps rumbled. "Doesn't it bother you? "She looked more distressed at my nonchalance. " Have you ever been in love? "I don't know why I asked her that. "Me? No! Never! Why? Did anyone break your heart? You look broken. Was it one of those boys? "She suddenly sat up, forgetting her fear. "Are they still after you? Bothering you? Tell me girl. "Her shadow elongated in the background as she stood up with the blanket still over her shoulder. Ping! Ping! Just then my notification tone went off. I turned
Mira's POVI had no idea at this point if I was sleep walking or awake? I knew I was outside the gates of the students' residence, but I had no idea where I was headed. My eyes were glued on that fluttering light, my guardian my little butterfly. My legs kept crossing one milestone after another. I had no idea about my speed or direction. It was like I was in a hypnotic trance. I had no idea, I was standing on top of a hillock, overlooking the entire town. It was at this moment that my senses came around. Panic flooded in like ants around a honey drop. It was overflowing and getting out of hand. " Wh... Where am I? Why am I here? "I began questioning the chilli air. I pulled my phone out to dial Razzak's number but my phone was switched off. As soon as I pressed that button to switch it on, the wind snatched the phone out of my hand. Or was it the shadow? Was it even possible. It was at the edge of the hillock and I jumped to catch it, but fell. I caught hold of the phone but ha
Braze's POVWhat I thought would be the answer to all my problems, was just another piece of that big puzzle that I was still trying to figure out in my head. The session or discussion, whatever I had at the vet's office was no help. " I believe you are a student.Come here and help me with this," Priscilla, the vet, called me with her hand as she attentively poured over the microscope, monitoring the behavior of my blood cells. . We spent the entire night talking. I tried to convey my issues as realistically as I could. "Umm,Braze,let me be honest with you,I have no idea what's happening to you." Her answer was to the point and honest. My mind was a mess. A hot mess. Every night my body would start releasing enormous heat and the amount was increasing everyday. From the blood samples that the vet collected, nothing could be confirmed , not even my quadrouped movements. The only thing the vet could confirm was that there was molecular morphing at microscopic level whenever the b
