5 Chapter two: First Encounter

The boy standing alone in an empty room causes him to let out a sigh. "Great. Convinces me to leave her alone for a while and she's kinapped the first night," he mutters to himself. The ginger squeezing through the opening out her window.

Dark storm clouds prove it's soon to be rain, as light post shine brightly given the time. A security guard patrolling around the school spots Sonny sprinting across the yard with his flashlight. "Hey you! It's way past curfew!"

He only glances back for a second before running even faster. "Where is she? I'm going to get in so much trouble because of her."

(Brooklynn POV)

The burnette eyes snap open to find herself being carried by someone. The dorm house gets further away as they start to take her past the school's front gate. Without even attempting to look at their face she starts squirming, trying her best to get loose. She manages to fall to the ground on her back, just now realizing a glowing orange rope is restraining her movement. In front of her stands a strange looking man wearing all black clothes and a jesters hat. He has short brown hair with his small red eyes glaring down at her. "You're not what I was expecting at all for the next Felixa. You're quite the fighter, girl."

"W-Who are you?"

"My name is Gores and I refuse to let you destroy Erebus chest. Now behave yourself or I may have to get a little ruff with you." His large hand reaching out towards her. Brooklynn knows she should be trying to scream and call for help about now. However petrified by fright her voice won't allow her to only sitting in horror. Just before he gets a chance to touch her, Sonny jumps in the way standing between them.

"I can't let you do that."

"Sonny!"

"It's been long, Sonny. I was simply taking her on a little trip," Gores greets with a twisted smile. Sonny kneels next to her burning the rope around her away to ashes.

"Brooke, get back!" he instructs, and his voice gets the girl on her feet. Quickly creating distance as the two stand off facing one another.

Gores goes to attack first but misses as he jumps in the air, flipping back and landing on his feet. The velocity of the jump isn't what any normal human could reach. Though it shouldn't be too shocking the boy that is suppose to guard her has powers himself. A big ball of fire comes Gores's way and sends him flying backwards. The older man quickly recovers trying to use his magic, but Sonny disappears behind him and attacks again. This time knocking him flat to the ground.

"It's over, you lose. No matter how many times you come it's going to play the same way."

"...I see she doesn't know how to use her powers yet, so we still have time. No need to rush things, after all she will be the final obstacle." He vanishes into thin air and Sonny quickly turns his attention towards her.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah. Who was he?"

"He is a Fel, a person who got affected by the dark magic from being nearby when it was released. They're all apart of an organization called the FDO, who means to capture and kill the Felixa at all cost. They still need your light powers in order to reach that chest. Since you haven't awaken yet Gores probably didn't see the point in a hassle tonight."

"You have powers too..."

Sonny's face looks conflicted for a moment at the mention, but slowly nods. "Yes, but I'm what you call a rare case who also received my powers from Aine. I don't posses the power of light like you do though. That's the only thing that can purify Erebus chest to end all of this. If that dark magic does get into their leader's hands he'll be unstoppable. Having the potential to summon enough monsters to roam the earth, and a pitch darkness that will block the sun forever."

Just the thought of it sends a chill down her spine. The fate of basically the world is all on her shoulders. "That will actually happen if I don't destroy it...B-But I don't even know what my full powers are, or how to use them."

"We'll be starting practice when they come tomorrow. I this is a lot to take in but more will be explained only after you mastered your abilities. Now let's head back to the dorm. It's already way past curfew time." Sonny escorts her back them climbing through her window. Though Brooklynn insist the boy can sleep on her floor, he assures no one will come back tonight before going to his own room.

(Sonny POV)

The next morning the kids go to the first period they orginally missed. It's not long in the class before he gets called down to the office. As he expected considering a security guard did bust him last night. The burnette raises an eyebrow as he storms out of the room to go meet with the principal.

Inside the man gestures him to take a seat in front of his desk. "You were out after curfew last night correct? That kind of behavior is unacceptable here. I know this is your first time however I must give you the same treatment as everyone else."

"But I-"

"No buts Glover the punishment for such an act is detention after school," he states firmly. Leaving no more room for arguments.

"...I understand and I'm sorry, Mr. Huxley. I know this won't change my own punishment but Hira was out after hours also. I told her what time to be in by, so it isn't like she didn't know. It's only fair that she gets detention too."

(Brooklynn POV)

After school both of them sit with a few other students in an mostly empty classroom. The teacher in charge flipping through a magazine as time ticks down ever so slowly. Brooklynn continues to glare at the ginger haired boy next to her, as he ignores this doing his homework. "I can't believe you ratted me out! Now I have detention thanks to you!" She whisper hisses to him.

With that remark Sonny finally puts his pencil down. "It's all your fault."

"What?"

"I wouldn't even be here if I didn't have to go and rescue you last night. Besides you proved I can't leave you alone anymore, so if I have to go to detention you do too."

"Argh! I swear you piss me-"

"If you two don't stop talking I will add thirty more minutes to your detention," The woman threatens. That being enough to get them both to shut up and get back to work.

When detention does finally come to an end they leave the school together. Brooklynn stretching as she gladly welcomes the afternoon sun. "Ah! It felt like that detention lasted forever."

"Come on, Ron and Jerry are going to be coming to pick us up soon. We need to hurry and get ready."

When the detectives arrive later in the evening they pick them up in the same fancy limo as before. Brooklynn asks where they're going and Ron explains it's to a special government office building. There she'll be able to practice her powers in peace. After a bit of a drive the car pulls to a stop in front of a large black building.

"Here we are. You're going to be coming here quite a while for the time being," Jerry says, parking the vehicle in the parking lot.

Brooklynn stares in awe as she follows them inside. As for her partner who doesn't seem taken aback in the least. Her figuring he must have been here before. Perhaps when the previous Felixa practiced their powers, since she has no idea how long he's been a guardian.

"This is another reason we chose Langfield for your place of education. There isn't a school so close to agency as that one. Though the government did have to pay quite the fee for you to attend there. Let's head to the training room and try not to get lost now," Ron says, taking lead as the group follows him into an elevator.

They go to the fourth floor and pass several people all wearing the same formal attire. Maybe it's a requirement for all SP agents. They make a right down the hall eventually stopping in front of a large door. Walking inside the training area is a huge opened space with different exercise equipment along the walls of the room.

"Woah, it looks just like off an action flick in here!" Brooklynn exclaims, Jerry chucking at her reaction.

"Bet this is more surprising than the limo. We can't have you two searching for the Erebus chest until you learn how to protect yourself. Therefore we need to find out what special power you have."

"The skill you saw me use last night is called beyond gravity. Each of us have a special ability that only applies to ourselves. Before learning any other magic it's best to start with that first."

"Couldn't explained it better myself, Sonny," Jerry agrees.

"Alright, but how do I do that?"

Ron gives Sonny a knowing look and he nods as the men take a step back. "First step with using your power is believing that you have one. Let's start with a simple one every Fel and Felixa have alike. I will strike at you and when I do just put out your hand. You'll see what happens."

"What, but-?"

"Just do it. Trust me," he insists with a smile.

She is a little nervous about getting hurt, but he did save her yesterday. Ron and Jerry seem to believe he knows what he's doing, so what reason does she have to doubt? Taking a breath she nods in approval and gets in a defensive stance. When he strikes his leg Brooklynn sticks her arm out as told. An invisible shield blocking his kick from landing on her.

"Whoa!"

"That's one of the many powers you have."

"But this never happened before..."

"It's because before you weren't aware you could do that. You didn't know you could. Now for this exercise close your eyes and concentrate. We need to discover your particular power."

She obeys but what is she suppose to thinking on excatly? "What am I focusing on? I don't even know what my power is."

"Just clear mind and try your best to call your power forth."

"Okay..."

Hidden power please whatever you are make yourself known!

For a minute there is still no change whatsoever. Brooklynn tries harder repeating the phrase in her head over and over again. Suddenly an axe off the weapon rack in the corner slowly starts to float towards them. The guys can't help but stare in amazement.

"Holy smokes that's one heck of a power!"

At Jerry's remark she opens her eyes and the weapon falls to the floor. "Huh? Did I do something?"

"Y-Yes concentrate once more! This time with your eyes open. Try to lift this weapon up in the air." Ron setting it on the floor in front of her.

"Lift it up with my mind? Seriously?"

"We just saw you do it. I know you can do it again," Sonny says, and her eyes go to the weapon lying still. Brooklynn concetrates as hard as she can doing the same technique only aloud this time.

"Lift, lift, lift." Sure enough the weapon gradually begins to rise. Startled by herself focus breaks dropping it down again. "I can't believe I actually did that!"

"See? Pretty cool isn't it?" The red head giving her a small pat on the back.

"The power of telekinesis, eh. Very impressive," Ron mumbles, pushing up his frames.

"That was totally awesome! I wonder what else I can do!" The history lessons only teach so much with the abilities of a Felixa being more left a mystery.

"Maybe you should try practing with this a little more first." Listening to Jerry's suggestion she practices it again for some time. Doing different exercises of lifting, dropping, and even moving the axe. She's so into her new power she doesn't realize how late it's getting.

"What should I attempt next? Maybe one of the other spells now!"

"Actually we should be getting you kids back to the dorms for today," Ron declares, having her face fall a tad.

"Already? Can't we practice a little longer?"

"Not unless you want detention again. We'll be coming back tomorrow."

"Oh, right." With that they head back towards the school. Gazing out the window she can't stop thinking about everything that's happen in just these past two days. Though after what happened with Gores plus how important he made clear this mission will be still.

Prehaps this year won't be quite as boring as I thought.
