She
glanced down at it, disgust etched all over her face. Fox nudged her, “Go ahead you can’t dislike a
person you haven’t even tried to get to know Belle”.
Belle
grudgingly decided to take his hand, still looking as if she loathed him.
“I’m
Belle”
When they
touched their eyes glazed over and their faces were blank. Both of them froze like statues. Flashes of
images reeled through Kai's head, too fast for him to comprehend or understand
what had happened.
“Kai? Hello?” Demitri shook Kai frantically trying
to get him to respond.
People
began screaming as a massive wind forced open the entrance doors. Kai and Belle were dead on their feet, hands
still clutched. Demitri gripped Kai’s
hand. “Let go of her damn it. Kai snap out of it,” The wind was blowing
stronger and the sky was turning dark as the clouds glided fast over the
building. Devon clutched Belle’s Hand
pulling her as Demitri pulled Kai. “Fox
help me,” Devon yelled. Fox held onto
Devon’s arm pulling as strong as she could.
Kiyren grabbed Demitri’s arm pulling as hell.
People
we’re running all over the place trying to find a safe place to hind. “Everyone stay calm, Stay Calm. Go into the
café. Hurry” Solara said as she ran into Conlin Hall; ushering students to the
other side of the room. Solara spotted
Kai and Belle and gasped.
“What’s
wrong with them?” she yelled as she ran over to them. “We don’t know they won’t talk. Look at their eyes. We can’t get them to let go of each other”
Kiyren cried.
There was
chaos in the room. Books were falling off the wall and people were still
running and screaming, all but one Hispanic boy that was sitting a t table
watching the abnormal event as if it was a normal sight.
“Step
back, you need to get into the café, I’ll stay here with them you kids need to
get to safety the chandelier might not hold for much longer.” Solara Yelled at
them. They all looked at each other and
back to Solara. “We’re not going
anywhere”, Demitri said. “I’m not
leaving my sister,” Devon responded. Solara grunted but gave into their words. I can’t blame them I wouldn’t leave if it were
me either. But if this is what I think
it is, the trouble is just beginning”
Solara
grabbed Kai and Belle’s hands. The ground began to shake violently. “Oh my God”, Fox yelled ass pieces of the
chandelier started to hit the ground.
The lights in the room began to flicker and shut off. “Demitri and Kiyren pull Kai we need to get
these two…” Solara’s words were cut off as she was thrown to the ground. One of the tables slid into her knocking her
out. There was a flash in the room.
Lighting hit the building. The charge
was streaming through the walls.
“KAI!”
Demitri yelled.
Kai gasped
releasing Belle as his eyes went back to normal. The abruptly release caused them all to fall
to the ground. Kai was staring at
Belle. She was staring at him also. “Kai are you ok?” Demitri yelled over the
wind and crashing sounds of books and furniture. Kai looked up.
“Move!” he
yelled. The chandelier was falling. Everyone scurried toward the other side of
the room, Demitri was pulling Solara with him.
The wind started to die down.
Within five minutes the ground stopped shaking and the sun was blazing
bright outside.
People
were exiting the Café looking a the destruction the freak storm had
caused. Belle was still staring at
Kai. Kai looked down at Solara, raising
her head. “Solara? Solara are you ok?” he asked. She stirred, moaning as her eye opened. Solara sat up. It took her a minute before she started
talking. “Are you kids ok?” “Yes” they
responded. “Good, ok I have to Go to
the A.T. and call for emergency services, I will check on you all later
on. Go up to your rooms.” Solara got up and ran out of the front doors
of Conlin Hall glancing at the Hispanic boy that was still sitting at one of
the tables.
The stood
up, visibly stirred by what happened.
Kai and Belle slightly staggered as if they were going to pass out. Kiyren caught Kai “Are you ok? Can you
walk?” “Yes I’m fine” he said.
Kai's eyes flashed toward Belle then her
ring. He thought, did it flash.
It can't have. They staggered
again. Demitri caught Kai the same time
Devon caught Belle.
“Are you
guys sure you’re ok?” Kiyren asked looking between the both of them.
Kai
glanced at Belle expecting to see the fear and confusion that was surely on his
face, but he didn't see him self in her face.
Belle looked even surlier than before.
“Get off of me Devon” Belle yelled pushing Devon to
the ground. She swayed slightly before storming
off through the door at the end of the hall. “I'll talk to you later Kiyren”
Fox said before she ran after Belle. “Bye!”
Kai helped
Devon off of the floor. “Are you okay?”
Kai asked. “What's with your damn sister?” Demitri asked as Kai let go of
Devon. “I'm sorry about that I'll see you later Kai” Devon said kissing Kai's
cheek then running after Fox.
Kai
staggered swaying with a goofy look on his face. “Kai are you ok?” Demitri asked concerned. He
heard Kiyren laughing hysterically.
Kiyren
looked amused. “What's so funny?” Demitri
asked her. “He's got wood lol, day one and he already has a crush just like me.”
Kiyren responded. Kai fixed himself as
he started to blush. “
Kai looked
at them then steadied himself.
“I'm fine
let's just go unpack.”
They got their bags out of the
debris and headed to the elevators. It
only took a second for the elevator doors to open. They all got on and pressed the numbers of
their prospective floors, 4 and 5. Kai
locked eyes with the guy that was sitting at the table as the elevator doors
closed.
Kiyren was
talking openly about how cute Fox was and how much she didn't like Belle
already. “And did you see that ring she
was wearing; she has to have money because that damn sure wasn't a fake stone.”
She said whilst Demitri was talking bout how big a bitch Belle was. “If I were a girl I would have kicked her
ass, for real.” He said boldly with Kiyren's approval of the statement. Absentmindedly Kai said in a dead tone, “It
was intriguing though, almost magical.”
Kai wasn't
paying them much attention; he was too engulfed in his thoughts of what
happened.
What were those images that I saw? What exactly happened to me? Did Belle see anything?
Kai was so
wrapped up in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed that Kiyren had got off on
her floor and that he and Demitri were standing outside the door of their
apartment.
“Kai”
Demitri said snapping his fingers in his face “Snap out of it. What's wrong with you?” Kai shook his head, trying to act
normal.
“I'm ok D
just open the door please, I think I should lie down.
