It takes me a long time to realise that all three of us are screaming. Me, because i'm exerting such a force on them that I almost collapse with the effort. Jude and Judy because they are five feet of the ground, shaking violently and they have red blotches all over their skin. Their blood is mine to command, so I tug harder with my divine.

"Please" Jude lets out a strangled sort of yelp, his eyes roll into his head. "Please I beg of you, let us go, we'll do anything"

I grin, wickedly. "I will, on two conditions. One you never bully or harm anyone in this school again. And two you keep what happened here a secret, or I swear to the gods that I will end the both of you in the worst way possible, and i will know if you snitch." Of course I didn't know if they would snitch but they didn't know that.

"OK now let us go" I let go of my divine and they drop to the floor, coughing and wheezing. When they look up, their eyes are red and wild and they silently leave the room. 

I collapse onto the small table for, I don't know how long. Soon I realise that I had lessons to get to.

At the break and lunch, they both give me weird looks and sit apart from everyone else; I sit by myself and eat the lukewarm Deylican (meat pie) slowly. Odette hurries over to me at the end of the day.

"OMG are you ok"

I grin, "I gave them a taste of their own medicine"

She gasps, "they won't snitch will they, which divine did you use?"

"No they won't snitch, I spared them as long as they didn't bully or hurt anyone in school ever again and also to keep what happened in that room in that room, I used only my blood divine"

She sighs and let's out an anxious laugh, her glossy black hair is beggining to become undone and she takes the bun out and twists a lock of her hair. It curls perfectly around her fingers like a vine, a sure sign that she's worried.

"Let's go"

On the way back to the orphanage we see a Zero being whipped out on the street. It's sends a clear sign, if zeros don't obey the numbers above them then this is what happens. I grimace and look away, forcing Talia into a canter.

"I want to tell you something when we get home Ode."

She nods and soon enough we're hooking Talia back up into her stable. 

"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?"

I take a deep breath in and out, then I speak, "When the event takes place for Prince Axel to get a wife, I want to... introduce myself and show everyone what I can do- there may be some fighting involved so I will have to practice. Maybe it'll ignite the sparks for a revolution, where all numbers are thought of as equal."

"I want to change this cruel, selfish world and change it for the better."
