Aida

What an impossible person is Eduard? First, he tried to kill me with his power, then tried to forcefully kiss me to know how William would react and he would force me in a duel with William. I don't know if he is an enemy or a terrible wingman.

As I was running without looking carefully where I was going, while I bumped with someone.

"I am sorry, but I have to attend my next class," I said and hurried up my steps.

"Hey Karina, wasn't that the new girl?"

"Yes, she is."

"Austin said he wanted to invite her to our Group."

"It was time for another member, right Alda?"

At the last moment, I arrived at the art class. It was beyond my imagination. All the students were throwing balloons, filled with paint, everywhere across the room. That was an unknown art form for me, but it looked like fun.

~ SPALT ~

A pink balloon struck my shoulder. The paint spread. I saw a smiling girl with pink-dyed hair and dressed as a doll, floating in the air. She was the one who threw the balloon. After laughing, she said: "What a shot! You know, I am not going to apologize, because it is a lot of fun."

"I did not think the pink was still in this season, or maybe it did not apply to the kids' section."

Her anger could not be invisible. She tried to hit me with another balloon, which I dodged.

"If you want to play with art, I will fulfill that for you," I sad.

"What?" she was surprised when I took a box of balloons filled with paint.

"Game Over, Baby" I declared. The room was filled with paint, but the painting I create was pleasing. It was covered in paint except for that girl's body's shape. Would that be good enough for a full mark? I may have created a massive-paint-nuclear-bomb, but it was worth it.

"And this is what happens when you fight with art."

The school bell rang musically when I suddenly feel tired I ran to the infirmary to find Eduard. No luck! I felt more tired and felled on the ground. A remarkable creature that looked like an animal; a raccoon dog (fox species) with a hat, which had a red cross on it, appeared in front of me.

When I woke up, I found myself laying in a nursery bed. I turned my head and saw in my left the raccoon dog and Eduard. They were looking at something on the computer.

"Affirmative, she has many marks on her back, like a hundred."

"Look Kaliks! From their positions, I can tell those aren't intentional."

"An abusive background," Kaliks concluded.

"Maybe," Eduard added.

"It is impossible to imagine she could endure this pain," the raccoon dog said.

"Don't worry small raccoon of mine, I going to fix her," Eduard stroked his head.

"Alright, you can take care of... I TOLD YOU, MY NAME IS KALIKS," the raccoon dog, I mean Kaliks told to Eduard. He was ignoring him, so Kaliks left. The quietness fell upon us and the only noise I heard was the vibrations of a fly flying 4 meters away.

"I know you 're awake," Eduard said. I refused to respond to him. It was better not to talk to someone, whose glance gives you "I'm going to kill you if you disobey" vibe. I ignored him. I sincerely want to stay in this academy. Back then, I only had my foster parents John and Jenny Smith. They always made me think they choose me because I was the least worse from the rest of the other kids. I feel better without them, but at this place, I had all the freedom I need.

"Aida?" he said. I didn't answer. I heard he stood up from the chair and the open door; my signal to get off the bed. Then, that sly fox cuffed my hands with a pair of cuffs. I couldn't transform into the air.

"It took me a lot of time to convince the principal to give me those shackles made of Kaisek," he said. "Now, tell me! Why were you pretending you were sleeping?

"..." He would get only silence from me.

"You were awoken, and pretend as you were sleeping ... or were distracted by your thoughts, which of these is? Tell me..." he was sitting on the bed next to me.

"Get off," I ordered him you, but you felt a lot weaker with the cuffs made of Kaisek.

"This is your second chance to tell me what you're hiding," he told me. "I know that you've seen somewhere before."

< What does he know about me? I do not remember anything.>

I refused to talk about a thing. He turned his face to me.

"The last chance - will you respond if I use my powers or will we make this easy for both of us?"

His eyes pierced mine as pointy spines. For the first time my heart stopped at the sight of a boy. Threw me off a cliff! Most people wouldn't select the first option, but nor the idea that he will use his powers charmed me.

"Well, apparently I can't make you talk in this way," he sounded disappointed and continue. "When you want to heal someone you need to be prepared. What I was trying to do was to force it out of you. I guess I need to be patient.

"Nothing is wrong with me," I raised my voice, so he could understand.

"That's not for you to define. Leave it to the doctor."

"You can't," I told him.

"What?"

"Plenty of doctors couldn't find anything, but to ease my symptoms. None could fix this. Whatever it is.

"You're overlooking something."

"You're overlooking something."

"What?"

"I am not like the other doctor."

"I don't trust you," I blurted.

"Do you realize you don't have any other beneficial option?" he mocked my gestures.
