After reluctantly getting off the tree, Andreas insisted on going over to hers, instead of his. While they walked, Eleanor asked,
"Why didn't my powers recognise yours when others did?"He looked down at her, "When?""When Alexandra was bleeding and the guys were looking uncomfortable. Their powers were recognizing yours, right?"He chuckled, "You can say that.""So?""Hm?""Why didn't mine recognize yours then too?""Because your powers weren't supposed to recognize mine then."Her face scrunched up in confusion, "Why not?""I didn't want it to."His hand casually slipped into hers."You wanted it later?"He exhaled, "Bella, i was punishing Alexandra."Her eyes zoomed around in thought, "The aura thing Anthony spoke about?"He nodded."Why? What did she do?"He looked down at her. The curiosity etched onto her face made a gentle smile bloom on his,"She was being rude to you. I meant it when iRelated chapters

After giving her nod of approval, training began."How do you feel when you use your powers?"Eleanor shrugged."How did you feel when you zapped Alexandra?""Uh.... Vengeful."Leo snickered, "I know, but did it feel hard?""To zap her? Nope. It felt good."Alexandra sneered and Eleanor winked at her. Andreas barely managed to hold a smile back."Did you feel like you had to try, somehow, to draw out electricity? Or, it felt normal?""At that point.... I wasn't thinking. I guess it felt normal... I don't know."Leo nodded, "For you to use it without thinking, and be able to direct it however you wish, it shows that you have some form of control. Now, that control, I have over the energy I get from the earth. The earth is a life source and the energy it produces, is more diverse than shampoo products. I don't just get what I want, I have to filter through, gather, then use. In my filtering, I get to understand her messages. You don't

It was 6:36pm. Evening had fallen. They were all in Andreas' living room, when the stone appeared out of nowhere. She was kind of, sort of used to it...... okay, maybe she wasn't used to it, but she was more unused to it's glow. Why was it glowing. She looked up at Anna in question."There's a message, child."Eleanor looked back at the stone, "From the stone?"Anna shrugged, "Why don't you find out. Ask it."Everyone was looking at her. How does she ask it again?"Uh.... Hello?"The glowing continued."Klitanis?"'Hello, Eleanor. Lovely to speak with you again.'Deciding to try out the head/mind speaking thing, she took a deep breath and tried sending her thoughts.'Can you hear me?'Andreas and Leo looked at each other before looking back at her and nodding.'My my. You have learnt how to mind connect. Well-done, Eleanor!' She heard Klitanis' voice. She smiled,'Thank you. How are you in there?''It's actu

Eleanor took in a deep breath... Then let it out and allowed her eyelids lift. Her eyes slowly took in the sunbathed room and a small smile formed. How lovely. Everything seemed so peaceful. Like a hammock set up on beach, with the soft breeze kissing your skin, while the seagulls called. It just felt so... So nice, y'know? The prefect combination of hot and cold. Her pillow seemed to agree as it went uuup and dooown and uuup and doown. She softly giggled. The giggling continued, till her mind went all 'Hey sun bather, pillows don't move, do they?' ugh! Way to spoil the fun. She blinked and noticed the neat dullness of the room. With a slight brow raise, she slowly looked up and met a calm, childlike expression, painted onto Andreas' face as he slept. She couldn't stop herself from staring. The man was a body of contrasts. His face was the epitome of calm and peace, but his body exclaimed dangerous strength and brutality. And his body heat? That washed off him in waves. He was very

Eleanor bounced out a while later, still wearing Andreas' shirt, but with her trousers underneath. She went to stand in the middle of the small group of boys and girl and smiled. Alexandra rose a brow at her and a grimace took a seat on her face. She scoffed, then suddenly froze and shot cautious eyes in Andreas' direction, before quickly looking away. Eleanor didn't react. She had no reactions to give. She smoothed her palms over her hair."You ready for today?" Anthony asked.She nodded enthusiastically, "Yup!" Then she shot Leo a look that had him backing up."Don't even think about it, I'm not training you today."She planted her idle hands on her waist and asked,"So, who's my teacher today?"Nick stepped forward, "Tis I, Lord Nick, defender of the weak, devourer of the-""Ugh, save your drama for the theatre, Juliet." Leo rolled out.Nick turned and shot him a hard look. He was about to respond when Anthony said,"If the King comes

Eleanor allowed her eyes drift open. Looking around, she saw that she was laying in a bed as usual, but, instead of sunlight, the soft moonlight shone through the window, casting an ethereal glow unto the room."You're awake."She turned her head to the side and saw a figure sitting on a chair by the window. She blinked and squinted but could only make out a silhouette. The figure rose and began to walk towards her. Big and muscled, yet, she just knew it wasn't Andreas. It wasn't till he sat down on the bed beside her that she saw that it was Anthony. She gave him a tired smile,"Hi." And tried to sit up. He helped her sit with her back against the headboard before settling down again. She wrapped her tired arms around her raised knees and sighed."How long have I been out?""Three days.""So today's Saturday?"Anthony nodded, "Approximately-" he paused to pull out his phone "-8:52pm. How do you feel?""Beat." Eleanor chuckled dryly.Anth

After everyone had settled down to either watching TV in the kitchen or playing games in the living room, and the day had dwindled on into the afternoon with the 2:00pm sun shining forth, Eleanor alerted Anna that she was going home to change, got Anthony and left. Anthony walked her to her house, then went to his hotel.As soon as Eleanor stepped a foot inside the house, her phone rang. Mystery man."Hello?""Where are you?""At home.""Why didn't you tell me?""You were playing games.""Anna tells me you're going out.""Mm-hmm.""To where?""Ask Anna.""She's not telling me.""Oh.... I see." She strolled into her room."Where are you going?""To take a shower. It's funny how hot it is outside. The breeze-""Bella."She rolled her eyes. "Look, Anthony and I are coming back there to meet with Anna before we leave. I'll tell you then."She could feel him frown."Stop frowning.""I'm not fro

Andreas opened the door and walked out. Where was Eleanor? He'd woken up on the chair and she wasn't on the bed. She wasn't in the house, in fact. He let the early morning sun wash over his face, as he rose his head and took a big whiff. He followed her scent to a tree and stood there. She came to a tree? He heard shuffling coming from up top and exhaled.Of course.He proceeded to lie on the ground. He got comfortable and focused his eyes on the tree."What're you doing up there this time?" He called out."What're you doing down there?""Waiting for you to fall."Her eye roll was inevitable. He hastily caught sight of her legs before they disappeared. He remained there for a few more minutes, watching like an eagle for any sign of distress, before she came down. He sat up. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, her face and neck was wet with sweat, her chest was clad in a dark blue sports bra with a small cross bag trailing across and ending at her hip,

He was speechless. Try as he could, he couldn't formulate words.His eyes were stuck on the drawing on the notepad."You... You did this with thirty minutes?"She nodded."How...." He trailed off.She shrugged.When he said nothing more, and just stared at the page, she asked,"Do you like it?"Like it? It was, by far, the most outrageous thing he'd ever seen. It was horrible. His head was a circle on a stick with bubbles for eyes and talons for eye brows. His arms were sticks with little stones as fingers, his body was a crooked line with a series of bunched up circles as muscles, then his legs were overly shaded lines, making it look like he had cysts for knees, all rounded up with.... Were those pancakes? He squinted and looked closer. Oh... No. Those were his feet. To put it lightly... It was an eye sore."I definitely feel something for it." He said and looked at her with astonished eyes. One look at her face told him she was fightin
