16 Who to trust?

Here I'am at the court. I can't stop myself from looking at everyone. I keep on learning them even though I know it is hard. 

Am I worrying too much? That Mera may just make me think stuff about others? Trust? Don't trust? Careful who I trust? Is there an enemy already here? I can't even sense them, everyone here is not bad. 

Shol is speaking to everyone up stage with Aunt Aost and Mera. Mera somehow looks normal right now like she did not even say something to me earlier.

Am in a situation that everything just won't… Just won't get into pieces. Everytime I get a break a new problem keeps on popping… I haven't even really got over Mom and Dad's death…

I did not notice that I was already crying when Alio wiped my tears and Shol called my name.

"Eine are you okay?" Shol asked and I couldn't respond at that moment so he asked Alio to bring me to the Health Center. 

I wasn't really feeling ill physically and mentally… But emotionally yes… 

Someone checked me out and just told me to rest. They prepared a bed at the center for me to stay a while. Alio was there at first but then he had to leave. Someone called him and so he just said that he will come back later. Before he left he gave me a kiss on my forehead. I asked him why he did that but he just smiled and went out.

So here I am lying down for a moment trying to think too much. Well because of what Alio did I think I'm kinda blushing. DAMN why did he do that for?!?!? It was a very very shocking thing to do like. Hello? Am I someone special to him?

As I said the word special it made myself pause. I felt my body suddenly burn. I'm on fire. Does he love me?

"AHHH!" I shouted at the room.

I thought I was the only one there but then someone spoke. I was shocked as I did not know I was roomed with someone. I looked at the curtains beside me and on the right it was Ria. 

OH NO. DID SHE HEARD OUR CONVERSATION?

"Ria" I said then I remembered she was unconscious earlier.

"Are you okay now?" I asked. She looked at me and I saw fear, guilt, and sadness in her eyes.

She suddenly started sobbing. 

"The big guy named Risth… He let me read his thoughts…" She replied. It made me curious hearing this.

"What did you find out?" I asked.

"He is making an army. He has a spy… I don't know who this spy is but all I know is that Risth wants your power. Risth wants you to team up with him. He has eyes on us… We must be careful… We must not trust anyone…" Ria said and her voice was trembling. 

"Why does Risth want me?" I said out of curiosity. It's just what does want more from me? What can he get? He already killed my mother Aist and my father Effin. He is already making his plans. I'm just doing this to have revenge for my parents… 

After saying those words in my thoughts I just noticed that I am being selfish on this missin and that I do not care for others… Am I now that kind of bad person? Just because I am full of hatred.

"Your power has something more to it. You just haven't unlocked it yet. Everyone's power has something more but unlike you. You are already powerful and making Risth's plans come will be easier with you" Replied by Ria. 

I was paralyzed once more. I wanted to ask more. I wanted to ask Ria if she has already read the others with us… But someone came to check on us and Ria had to go. 

I decided to go back to the hall. 

As I got there. Every gifted one is being divided into teams.

"Ahhh. Eine sweetheart are you feeling okay now?" Aunt Aost asked and holded my forehead. I nodded as an answer and she explained what was happening.

They are dividing everyone into 3 people per group and will have training tomorrow before going into another mission. They will teach us how to use weapons and some will also train with their pets.

I was teamed up with El and Ryn from our new recruits. 

Here are the other teams:

Sevan, Rolli, and Laun

Dane, Alio, and Ivy

Ryna and Ria are not going to have training as they are still needing some rest.

Ria's words earlier somehow may be connected to Mera and that she may be telling the truth.

Everyone now is preparing for the training tomorrow. It will be like a team versus team kind of training. 

I am sitting in a chair on a corner. I am looking at everyone I see right now. From the people that are preparing the room; Shol, Aunt Aost, and Mera telling the others what to do; The other gifted warming up and doing some plans for tomorrow. 

But one thing went on my mind… 

Where is Alio? 

I was about to look for him when he suddenly showed up all of a sudden. 

"Going somewhere?" He asked.

"I was about to look for you. Where did you go?" I asked out of curiosity and somehow Mera and Ria's words popped in my mind.

"I did something important but don't worry I already finished it. Wanna go somewhere?" He said to somehow maybe change the topic? I don't know… Now I feel a pain… Someone who I may think I have some feelings now… Is someone that I am judging just because of Ria and Mera… 

Did Mera manipulate Ria too? And am I already being manipulated?

Alio was getting worried but I just said that I am fine. I said goodbye and that I needed some more rest as I may be still not okay. 

He escorted me home and Sevan saw that. 

Alio did not go inside as he said that he will prepare for the training tomorrow and so he went back to the training field.

"I saw that" Sevan was smirking at me as I got in the house. Pft typical brother doesn't know that I know that he eats lunch with Ivy hahaha.

"Just shut up. Don't speak like you're not having lunch with Ivy" I teased him back. 

Well what can I say. We are siblings. 

I went to the bed room and thought of every word from Mera and Ria… Maybe they have a point… I don't know… AHHHH stop thinking Eine!

With all this thinking I decided to go to sleep early.
