Annalise walked slowly toward Jenson. The ground beneath her feet vibrated with each step she took. When she stepped as close as she could to him, she stood looking down on him. Jenson was still in to much pain to speak or move it was as if all his joint and throat were on fire. Annalise put her hand out to the side. Her hair flew up in a whirl and the crackling sound got louder. In her up turned hand a ball of what looked to be white electricity began growing. “Why? Why did you hurt her? Why does everyone hurt innocent people? Why do people like you breathe?” Annalise asked loudly. Kanami looked at Annalise she looked so gentle and calm this morning but this, this person in front of her was not the same. Kanami noticed Annalise’s face was twist in pain and the look in her eye was hate filled. Kanami could no longer watch she didn’t know what was going to happen to Jenson. The ball grew to the size of a softball in Annalise’s hand as she waited for the immobile boy to answer. Jenson let a small tear fall from his right eye. “Is this how I die?” He asked his self for the malice intent in her eyes scared him. “Wait! I’m fine. Look see?” Kanami said as she approached Annalise. Annalise turned slight to looked at Kanami who was not standing next to her. Annalise didn’t say anything for a moment until she saw Kanami’s neck, there on either side of it was a bruise forming. “Your neck. Your not fine.” Annalise answered in a hushed tone. The ball in her hand shot up to the size of a grapefruit. At this moment Professor Hannaway has come to see why no one was in his class. He was making his way through the crowd when Kanami spotted him. Kanami gently and carefully reached out and put her hand on Annalise’s forearm and spoke. “Please the teacher is coming you have to stop. He has learned his lesson. Come on.” With that Kanami tugged on Annalise’s arm. When she did a spark ran through both girls and there eyes lit up white for a split second. Annalise seemed to snap out for her anger filled trance. The ball quickly disappeared from her hand as she looked around and saw the frightened faces of the students that gathered in the hallway. She looked at Kanami as tears filled her eyes and asked “What did I do?” Jenson who was now able to stand because all the pain had vanished when the ball did, stood up and pointed his finger at Annalise. “She’s just like her father! She tried to kill me!” He shouted. Kanami quickly turned to him and said in an angry voice “ don’t you dare think about turning her in or I will report you and only one of us has marks on their skin.” Jenson looked at her neck and noticed what he did, he hadn’t meant to do that. He fell silent for a moment then said “Well it’s not like I was really scared anyways just forget it.” He turned to walk away. Kanami turned back to Annalise who at this point had her hands covering her face to hide her tears. Kanami put her arm around Annalise’s shoulder. “Come one we have to go.” She said leading Annalise the opposite direction of Professor Hannaway who had just waddled his way through the crowd to the center and was waving his hands around trying to ask question but was much to out of breath.
