[Raine]

"So you two will be sharing a room, for the fact that it won't be safe for either of you in separate rooms!" Nyx says excitedly as she leads us to a room with separate beds.

I looked at Wyatt with a raised brow, sighing with defeat.

I would rather be in the same room as Tamsin, I enjoy her company more.

"I would quieten your thoughts, you don't know who's listening," Nyx says out loud, her gaze directly on me.

Her eyes are not smiling, though her lips were curved in a tight smile.

"Stop reading them then" I replied sarcastically, I have just about had it with this woman.

"Can't help it when they are shouting at me" She replies politely, which seemed to tear at my nerves.

I felt my eyes had just about rolled into the back of my head, once she left I turned around to Wyatt with a soft sigh.

"No offense, but I prefer Tamsin" I mutter, rubbing my eyes tiredly with a yawn.

"Respectfully I would rather be with someone else too" Wyatt shot back from his bed, his voice muffled by the pillow he stuffed his face into.

I don't know why I felt so offended by what he said, but it's true.

We both would rather be with someone else, let's hope we are not stuck together for too long.

We both drifted off into a restless slumber.

-I was wandering through the empty land of grass and plain fields.

The monsters were just over the horizon, slowly gaining with each time my eyes closed.

My heart raced as a layer of darkness covered the field, and the monsters grew closer and faster. 

My pulse was pacing like it had its nerves. The big tall monsters growing taller the closer they got, claws elongating and reaching out for my face-

I woke with a start and landed with a thump on the floor, just to realize I had not been under the blankets but floating In the air.

I rub my head, looking down to notice that my hands were still shaky from the nightmare that I just had.

Yawning, I noticed that Wyatt was too floating in his sleep.

It made sense for that to happen to him, but that sort of thing never happened to me.

I threw the book at him, watching him jump with a start and land on the floor also.

"Wyatt, why were we floating in our sleep," I ask him, I felt too shaken up to fully process what had just happened.

"You have no idea?" Wyatt asks me with a soft groan, he was rubbing his forehead where the book had been thrown at him.

"No dummy, that's why I'm asking you!" I snap at him, rubbing my forehead in exasperation.

"Obviously if you're floating, then one of your parents is like mine" Wyatt mutters tiredly, rubbing at his eyes.

I frowned, deciding to go for a walk to brush off the chills.

"What are you doing up," Nyx asks from behind, it gave me such a massive fright that I yelled out in surprise.

"I had a nightmare, it unnerved me, to top it off, I had fallen from the air instead of my bed" I sighed, trying hard to shake it off.

"What happened in your nightmare?" Nyx questioned softly, she walked beside me, it appeared that she had been asking with genuine concern.

"There were those monsters that were chasing us, they had their claws coming towards my face" I shivered at the thought of it, and Nyx had frozen.

"You are lucky you woke when you did," Nyx said in a quiet tone of voice.

"What do you mean by that" I focused my gaze on her, and saw her go rigid.

"Those monsters were trying to use you as a portal to get inside," Nyx said softly, the worry eminent in her voice.

I felt a chill down my spine and was thankful I had woken up when I did.

"How on Quartic could that have ever happened!" I whisper yell, trying to be considerate of the other students trying to sleep.

"Considering you are sort of what Wyatt is, but pretty much one of the weaker ones out of the whole group, it does make sense" Nyx tried to say politely, but it still stung that I was one of the weaker ones out of the group.

"Oh, that's why... how do I get stronger then?" I ask her, she appeared to be quite hesitant with her answer.

"Through practice, an improvement of your physical and spiritual body," She said, using hand gestures to make it seem impressive.

"That sounds.....Boring" I mutter, rubbing my forehead, sighing as I sit down in the corridor with my back against the wall.

I put my head between my knees, taking a few breathers.

If that is the only way to get stronger then I will have to find somewhere to train, to grow stronger I have to work for it.

Not everyone is so lucky to be born one of the strongest, to practice spirituality, maybe that means I have to go into that room where the others are training.

Now that is an idea, but I'm sure they are probably all there anyway, they probably won't mind if I come there to train.

"Is it alright if I go into that purple room to train?" I ask Nyx, looking up at her.

She put her hand on her chin, thinking about it.

"Of course Child, I did make that room for all of you," She said with a gentle smile, she placed a hand on my back.

She was guiding me to the training room for people with powers like us, once we were outside the purple shielded room.

I jumped right in without a second thought like the first time, because if you think too hard on it.

It'll deter you from going inside, Nyx messes with dark magic since she co-relates with the night and the moon.

Her powers would be considered one of the strongest, considering that she is also a primordial goddess.

One of the original heavenly children, I stood before quite a few other people who happened to be giving me all sorts of vibes.

Some of them were unsure of me, the others were disgusted or annoyed.

"Don't mind them too much, you are only here to train after all" Nyx tried to say kindly.

Nether-less the rest still stared and watched our every move, I could feel my power dull in this purple-like room.

Underneath the hue that brightly shone over all of our faces, illuminating the power veins through our bodies.

Although it felt as if I were being drained, I was still able to practice my powers, which I did a little too well onto one of the students who were judging me quite harshly.

"Can you believe she let the monsters use her as a portal!?" One of them said incredulously, the other person nodding in agreement.

They were acting as if they'd never made a mistake in their entire life.

"You're acting like you're all Miss perfect over there, I bet you had trouble mastering your powers when you first started as well!" I snapped back at them, I imagined the person across from them slapping her across the face.

Lo and behold it seemed to happen as I thought of it, I then remembered back to the teacher incident with their coffee, how the teacher had just tipped the coffee onto themselves as I had thought about it.

"I made the teacher do that! I could not believe it!" I was ecstatic to hear that it was indeed my powers that could make people bend to my will.

"That's not fair Nyx! She has action control abilities! We can't fight against that!" They had a look of disbelief on their face, shooting me nasty glares.

In the next moment, my wings burst from my back and caught me by surprise, I found myself up in the air, flying out of control.

It felt like they needed to stretch like I should have been stretching them everyday kind of feeling.

I missed my art book, the painting, and drawings, it felt like I never had any time to do my passions anymore.

It was rather sad to think about.
