3 Chapter 3

Clara was shown to her bedroom. It could have fit her whole house twice with the amount of space. There was a study to the side full of books, a massive walk in closet and a big bathroom. She didn't know if she'd ever get used to it. Her bed was the biggest bed she had ever seen and while she was laying on it, she felt as though she were on a cloud.

Philip came in after giving Clara sometime to settle into her room. He had found her asleep and she looked so small on her bed. He decided to wait a little longer before triggering her other abilities and went to talk to Maddox. "Hey dad, what are we going to do about the bullies in Clara's school? She has dealt with it enough."

"Well no one can seriously hurt her or else their mind will slowly shatter. We can just watch out and try to help her through it. She can handle it, even if it will be a little hard. We do need to explain the story we created behind her disappearance," Maddox was serious as always. He never took emotion with anything expect what he could control. Philip, of course, was used to this but he wondered if Clara could too.

"Alright.I'm letting her sleep before I trigger the abilities. The meeting with the council is tomorrow morning and then the announcement of Clara's return that night right?" Philip wanted to double check. He couldn't leave triggering her abilities off much longer if it was tomorrow. She had to be a little in control of them.

"Yes that's right so don't wait too much longer to trigger them and explain everything to Clara. Make sure she knows it was for her safety," Maddox was a little sad. Once Clara knew the truth she might be very mad or upset with them. "I know you wanted to let her sleep but it's time she truly started her new life. Go wake her up and trigger her abilities. Katryn is going to go take her to get clothes that she likes and you'll show her the academy."

"Okay dad," Philip went straight to Clara's room and found her awake. She was startled and must have forgotten where she was. Oh he missed those types of sleep. Maybe with Clara back he'd get it again. "So it's time to trigger your abilities but I'm going to explain to you something first. Only the council know you were sent to live with humans. Everyone else thinks you were kidnapped and taken away. You are know as the lost girl and I have just found you after years of searching. You can't tell anyone the truth because it will make questions start to come up and it will turn into a big mess. You understand?"

"Yes I understand. So what will happen when you trigger my abilities?" Clara didn't know how dangerous some abilities could be and she had one of the most dangerous to be triggered.

"I will go into your mind using my telepathy. Once I find where your abilities are at I will send a wave of energy to trigger them. One ability is inflicting, which will hopefully trigger second because it is very dangerous. The other one is healing. You can heal wounds but nothing life threatening unless it can be done slowly. You will get all the rules when you go to school in three days. I'm going to trigger them now, " Philip touched her forehead and began to search her brain to where the telepathic energy is. That's where her other abilities are but when he gets there he notices another ability but doesn't know what it is. She had an unknown ability but he trigger anyways. That was a mistake when it happened though.

Philip passed out as soon as the abilities were trigger. She had inflicted and inflicting being an extremely rare ability it isn't very well known. There is only one other inflictor and he was a councilmen. Clara was freaking out because she didn't know what was going on and then a sword appeared. It was transparent but she remembered Philip saying she had three abilities, not four. She ran to her parents but could only find a gnome. "Hey! I need your help. Do you know where Maddox or Katryn are? Something happened when Philip triggered my abilities, " she was panting out of breath.

"Yes I will run and get them. You go back to Philip and look after him. I will get them there as fast as I can, " the gnome took off after Maddox, he was in his study. "Maddox, Clara said something happened when Philip trigger her abilities. I am assuming she inflicted on him and he is unconscious. She was too panicky to say though. They are in her room, " the gnome said quickly and calmly.

"Oh that's not good. Call councilman Brento and telepathic mentor Largfell. They might be able to help," Maddox thinks for a second and looks at the gnome, "Tell Brento for just him to come and no one else. Thank you, " He runs off to Clara's room and sees her trying to pick up Philip. "Clara lay him on the floor I can uses telekinesis which you will learn eventually."

"Okay," Clara set him flat on the floor and Maddox floated him onto the bed. Then he noticed the transparent weapon. Clara saw the look and quickly added "uh I think that's from me. No I don't know how to get rid of it nor do I know what caused it. Philip only mentioned the three abilities."

"That is not good either. Councilman Brento is coming over and so is the guy who will be your telepathic mentor, Professor Largfell. Brento is the one with inflicting also so he will be your mentor but you still call him Councilman Brento as you are a child and have no job title like me, " Maddox quickly explained and looked at the sword weapon again. It was a sword and he knew that she was gonna be questioned like crazy. Oh they were in for a long couple hours.

"I understand. I will be respectful, " was all Clara could get out. She was so worried about what she had done to Philip. He must be mad at her for hurting him. She was even crying a little.

A couple minutes later the gnome and the two men come running in. "What happened Maddox?" Brento asked looking from Philip to Clara. "Did he trigger her abilities?"

"Yes he did and I guess her inflicting triggered and went right for an overdose on sadness. Can you wake him up?" Maddox was standing by the door. He wasn't upset with Clara but with himself. He should have had them here and had Largfell do the triggering but Philip insisted it was to be him.

"Yes but we need a healer too and they are all out on missions. He might have to wait a few days until one returns, " Largfell said quietly. He has been Philip's mentor for years and it hurt him to have to wait to help Philip.

"Uh Philip said I was a healer, " Clara spoke very quiet but saw all of their faces look right at her with shock. "He didn't tell you guys my abilities?"

"No he must have went close when he wasn't supposed to and checked. He probably accidentally trigger your telepathy when he did it. That's why you got it so young. Most go through a series of tests to trigger their abilities normally but yours have to be trigger by someone. He's so lucky he didn't trigger all of your abilities. Untrained Inflictors are some of the most dangerous, " Maddox said quickly and looked at Brento and Largfell. "She'll have to figure out how to do it."

"Well it'll work, " Largfell looks at Clara, "I need you to heal him in a certain way. Use positive emotions and I'll guide them through his thoughts. It's the only way to do it since you can't control inflicting and we don't know what you can do."

"Okay, I can try, " Clara walked over and grabbed Philip's hand. Largfell rested a few fingers on his forehead and so it began. Clara thought of all the fun she had before she had to skip so many grades. She used to do swimming and thought to those times. It seemed to not be working because Largfell took his hand off.

"It's working but it'll take sometime. From what I could tell it was very strong and his mind needs some rest, " Largfell looked relieved and then noticed the transparent sword. So did Brento.

"Mind telling me what that's all about Maddox? " Brento asked very seriously. Weapons weren't typical for any of the humans to have. If they needed protecting they were to have goblins do it.

"I couldn't tell you much about it Councilman Brento. I don't even know about any other abilities except for telepathy. I can't make it go away right now, " Clara said very timidly. She had answered for Maddox since it was from her. She didn't like this not knowing stuff. She misses being the know it all right now.

"Do you know how you summoned or I guess created it? It's so transparent, " Brento walked over to the sword and picked it up. "Oh I can touch it. I was expecting my hand to go through it. It's weighs hardly anything. "

"None of us have touched it so we didn't know, " Maddox looked at the sword too. It seemed sharp. "I don't understand how you create it though. Maybe it conjuring? That would make sense."

"I would think that too but she wouldn't have anything in the void where conjurers send things, " Largfell was also standing and looking at the sword. The 3 made a small circle to examine the sword. Then it suddenly disappeared and everyone looked at Clara. "How?" All three said it one after another and then kept looking at her for an explanation to what no one knew.

"I don't know. I'm not scared anymore and I'm happy I could help heal Philip. Maybe I created from fear?" She was panicking again already. these three were intimidating to her. Clara wasn't hoping another sword would appear because she couldn't control where it would appear.

"It's okay Clara. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go get you something to eat. Today has been a very long and hard day for you, " Maddox looks from Largfell to Brento. "You guys can go. Brento I'm guessing you are gonna talk to the council about this?"

"Yes I will be but I will let them know not to frighten her," Brento smiles at Clara. "Try to relax, you have no reason to be scared."

"Okay.Thank you for helping Philip, " Clara managed a small smile as Maddox led her out of the room and to the kitchen. Brento and Largfell left and the rest of her first night in her new world was peaceful.
