Chapter Twelve #2
“Now I want you all to get into groups of three since the seating is set up like that anyway and practice pulling your individual gifts out. In this lesson all I’m expecting you to be able to do is to feel where your demon magic resides.
If you can bring a small amount forward then I will be impressed.
Eventually you will be learning how to use your gifts to fight and help detain various supernaturals who have broken our laws.
You will also learn how to bring your various demon attributes to the forefront and keep them there for a short amount of time.
Handy in a fight. Now get to it, I will be coming around to assist.” He finishes as the room starts to chatter.
Everyone’s wondering what the hell we should be doing since he actually gave us no instruction what so ever just, find your magic.
Cheers dude, real helpful.
“Remember what Nicole said don’t show your true strength.” Levi reminds us and I grin.
I desperately want to play with my fire and now that I’m thinking about it I realise that I don’t need to try to find my demon magic it’s always there and a part of me.
I subtly glance around and noticing that the instructor who didn’t even bother to give us his name is on the other side of the room.
I click my fingers and flames burst to life on the tips just like I envisioned.
The flame seems to have a mind of its own though and as I move fingers weaves in and out of them like it’s playing.
Damon nudges my ribs.
“That’s so cool dude but not exactly subtle.” He chuckles.
“We can play later in the practice room.” Levi adds watching as I snuff the flames out.
“I don’t even know what gifts I have so I’m definitely up for that.” Damon chuckles.
“What the fuck did you just say to me!” Someone yells from across the room and we all turn to watch as two guys rise to their feet.
“I said some pussy whipped dickhead like you has no hope of actually finding their gifts.” The dark haired idiot gloats and I roll my eyes.
The instructor just leans back on his desk and smirks. That seems like the appropriate thing to do in this scenario, not.
Dickhead.
With seemingly no warning or anything even remotely similar, the other guy suddenly pounces on the dick that insulted him.
The guy screams in pain as the guy with blonde hair plunges short but obviously sharp claws into him.
The rest of the class surrounds them but stands out of range as they start going at it.
Breaking desks and drawing blood. Still the instructor sits there and takes it in. Watching the students reaction to it.
“What the fuck is he playing at?” I growl and start to stand up the guys following my lead.
“We can’t just leave them like this they’re already pretty bloody and beat and no one is doing a damn thing!” Damon growls as we push through the ring of idiots to the front.
“I think I can stop them.” Levi mutters and I open my mouth to warn him, “Without letting go of my human glamour.” He adds quietly and we both nod.
“Ok, we’ve got your back.” Damon says and I nod.
“Here goes.” He says.
He takes a deep breath, I watch as his eyes flash red and when he speaks it’s the lower tone of his demon.
“That’s enough!” He says, not raising his voice but firm.
Surprisingly not only do they stop immediately but they drop to their knees their heads dropped too. Everyone starts to follow suit and I nudge Levi.
“Dude might be a good idea to let whatever it is that you’re doing go, before everyone drops and the dick instructor realises things we don’t want him to.” I say urgently.
“What happened? Who the fuck did that?” The instructor bellows and a quick glance through the rapidly dropping to their knees students shows that he’s trying to struggle to his feet. Levi’s command having worked on him.
I glance at Damon grateful that we both seem to be unaffected by the command. Levi pulls back, his eyes returning to normal and everyone stands up looking around to see who gave the command. We’re obviously on the same wave length as we each start doing the same.
The instructor pushes through the crowd, completely ignoring the guys on the floor who are still struggling to stand but because of their injuries not because if Levi’s command.
“Who stopped that fight and issued the command?” He demands red faced and obviously pissed off.
No one steps forward and thankfully no one seems to know.
It seems that what Levi just did is definitely not normal.
The instructor grows increasingly angry his horns and baby fangs make an appearance and the whole class look at each other warily as he gets angrier.
How the hell is this guy qualified to be a damn teacher?
He apparently has no self-control.
Before he can get even one more demand out the bell rings to signal the start of lunch and everyone immediately grabs their stuff and makes a run for it.
This class is going to be a fucking ball. I groan internally but follow the rest of the students out just as quickly. I can’t wait to see Beautiful, damn butterflies make themselves known and I can’t help but roll my eyes at myself.
“Let’s get to lunch, we need to tell everyone about this new development and I don’t know about you but I miss my woman!” Damon says and me and Levi nod whole heartedly agreeing.
Sage
“Do you think they’ll ever get fed up of staring?” Erin asks me.
“Probably not, I’m not even sure what they’re so fascinated with.” I say as we grab a tray of food and glance around the hall trying to find a place to sit.
“It’s because you’re both Centres,” Cole says from behind us a small amount of anxiety in his eyes.
I smile.
“Hey Cole, want to sit with us?” I ask and he smiles gratefully, “Wait how do they know that?”
“Well you were in the Centre class this morning.” He says as we sit down.
“What the hell was the Director going on about not showing favouritism and keeping us incognito if she knew that we’d be put in a class that clearly says we are Centres?” Erin asks.
“She said that?” Cole frowns and we both nod. “I honestly have no Idea but then again she’s always struck me as not quite right.” His eyes widen as he realises what he’s said.
“Couldn’t agree more!” I mutter and he exhales harshly.
There’s definitely more to him than there first appears.
“It could also be because we haven’t had any new Centres before.” He says shovelling food in his face.
“What do you mean?” I ask grinning as I see my guys enter the dining hall, the others following quickly behind and making a beeline for the food.
“We all grew up together and mixed in the same circles. Since we’re the last of the Centres and if you’re lucky the Bonded, everyone in the supernatural world knows who we are.” He explains.
It sort of makes sense I guess, it also explains why everyone is having the reaction they are to us but it does not explain why the Director tried to make out that her behaviour when we first arrived was for our benefit. That I just don’t understand at all.
“Hey Beautiful, I missed you!” Kai greets me as he and Jax lean down on either side of me and kiss my cheek.
I wish I could kiss them properly but until we know from Nicole what exactly is going on we don’t want to attract more attention to ourselves. Not that, that seems possible right now with everyone subtly paying attention to us since with all of us here now we make quite an imposing group.
“I missed you guys too!” I say.
“Something happened in demon one-oh-one but maybe now is not the best time to tell you since,” Kai pauses and then continues raising his voice, “SOME FUCKERS ARE BEING DAMN NOSEY!”
I chuckle as suddenly conversation increases around us again as people go back to their own lunches. After the their laughter has died down, the guys all introduces themselves to Cole who shoots me a raised eyebrow look and I know he’s going to have questions. I grin and shrug.
“I have a feeling about him.” I say through the bond to my guys, wishing I could link the others in briefly.
All conversation stops as Erin looks at me with wide eyes, my fork pauses halfway to my mouth.
“What?” I ask slightly worried.
“We all just heard you.” Dash says as Cole’s gaze ping pongs around the group.
“All of you?” I say shocked, and they all nod.
“Well fuck!” I say.
“What’s going on?” Cole asks, quietly.
“We’ll explain later I have a feeling you need to know.” I say following my gut feeling.
“Ok.” He shrugs letting it go although curiosity blazes in his eyes, “Come on, combats next and I can guarantee you fuckers aren’t ready for it.” Cole chuckles and we join in, standing up and following him out to the quad.
