Tradgedy Breaks Us All

Hospital bed, again. This happens too often. How many times have I woke up in this bed since I've been here? I get knocked out a lot I guess. I better get back to my room and congratulate Damon on getting into the class. After signing out with the nurse, I leave for my room. From down the hall,!I notice my door is wide open. I run in and see all my friends crowding around Damon.

"Hey guys. Uh, what's going on?" I ask.

Kaitlyn turns around and shouts.

"Damon has a new power! This is great! He must have got it from your fight. When someone with powers goes through something intense, they can get new powers" Kaitlyn tells me.

"So that must be what happened for me?" I ask.

"Oh yeah. I didn't even think about that. You got a new power too! Awesome! Maybe we can duel again sometime so I can test out that new power of yours" Kaitlyn suggests.

"Is there anywhere, anything, or anyone that I need now that I have a new power?" I ask.

"Yeah. Mr. Hall, so he can register it and make all the staff members aware of it" Kaitlyn tells me.

"Oh. Well ok. Hey Damon, wanna go with me to Mr. Halls office and get our new powers registered? Actually before you answer that, what is your new power?" I ask.

Damon stands up and walks towards me. He holds his hand out and I realize that there is electric shocks all over his hand.

"I have been able to manipulate fire, water, air, and earth for a long time, so when I accidentally pulled the electricity from our lamp, it came as quite a shock. Pun intended" he says.

"Cool, and yeah, you're funny" I say sarcastically, laughing a little under my breath.

"Joel, what about your new power?" Clara asks.

"What about it?" I ask.

"Well, what is it?" Clara asks again.

"I'm not really sure. I guess I can control this shadow like force energy thingy, and I can make it do things. I'm not really sure honestly. Isn't there someone in this school who could explain it better?" I ask.

"Yeah. Mr Hall can. I'm sure most of the staff could, but he's a bit of a professional, so we should ask him when we get our powers registered. Wanna go now?" Damon asks.

"Yeah let's go" I say.

We say a quick goodbye to everyone in the room before rushing out. When we go into the office, Mr. Hall is sitting at his desk, rifling through papers.

"Hi headmaster" Damon says.

"Hello boys. Is there anything I can help you with?" Mr. Hall asks.

"Uhm yes. Joel and I have both acquired new powers and we came here so you could register them. That is what you're supposed to do right? I wasn't really sure" Damon says.

"Yes, of course. I'll just need you boys to sign these papers that state you will not lie about these new powers to anyone" The headmaster says, putting a paper in front of Damon and I.

Damon and I both sign the paper after reading the fine print. It states exactly what he said it did. You should always read the fine print, well, that's what my dad said.
