17Thanks for reviewing. If you read my profile you will realise this is my main story now since it has 9 reviews to 6 and 4. Here is the next chapter thank you for being so patient. I'll try to make the grammar better. So sorry for the long wait. There is some mild language in this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Virals.
When I wake up, I am in the Nurses office. I sit up wondering, what am I doing here? When the pounding I my head become apparent, I realise what has happened.
I slam my head back on the pillow humiliated. "Wow what a great way to make a first impression Nicole" I mummer to my self
Fear suddenly washes away the humiliation. What if anyone saw? The nurse, Shelton, the school?
I kept my head down low and it has left me. I think these thoughts quickly in my head and come to the conclusion that I have just made a fool of myself.
As soon as I get out of bed vertigo consumes me, forcing me to sit. I look at my crumpled uniform and slide my bracelets in the right place.
I take the paracetamol l by my bedside and find my timetable. Clipped to my bag is a note.
Nicole
Hope you get better soon
and wake up with a pounding headache,
Tori, Shelton, Ben and Hi
P.S you have physics next.
I get up and walk out of the door. As I am making my escape, the Nurse comes in.
"No, No, NO" She cries "Get back in bed"
"Please I'm fine" I plead, I don't want to look as much of an idiot as I already am,
I give her my best puppy dog eyes. She considers it.
"Fine, but let me check you first"
I happily agree since it will get me out of the office quickly.
Ten minutes later I leave the office, "Stupid waste of time," I think to myself.
After 5 minutes of wondering around, I find the physics lab and silently slip in getting a few stares. I look around for a space and see one next to Shelton.
"I hope you wake up with a pounding headache" I say with a questioning tone
"Hi's idea"
"Of course who else would it be "I sigh?
I lean back against my chair and daydream since it is the last week I hope we will do nothing since before all we did was run around with balloons "testing" static electricity but I'm soon proved wrong.
"Ahh, Nicole nice to see you join us now since you were paying close attention you could inform the class in what are we doing for the last week" the teacher says giving me such a sweet smile.
"Static electricity" I take a wild guess
"No but it has a small part to do with electricity so maybe some small part of your brain was listening" Some of the class sniggers, "In pairs you will have to build a model water tower over one meter tall with working electronics' to haul up a miniature bucket , the tower made out of paper, you will have up to next Wednesday to finish and do a presentation, now get planning"
I look at the clock and calculating the time difference before I left we agreed to Skype each other at one o'clock in England so six here.
"Shit" I silently curse; I will have to tell them about snapping in public, they will flip. I mean I couldn't tell them but they would guess I am lying.
"Nicole? Nicole?" Shelton's voice brings me out of my daydream
"Yes?"
"I thought it would make more sense if I pair up with you since we would be less of a hassle" he asks sheepishly.
"Yeah I guess that's fine" I reply slightly confused
"Okay, oh and this is Helena" Shelton introduces me to the girl sitting next to him.
"Nice to meet you" She says politely
I give a polite nod back.
By the end of the lesson we agreed that we would start tomorrow and work on it every night.
"Now it's time to face the Calvary" I think to my self
When I open up Skype there already online within minute I see three familiar faces on the screen.
"Nicole" they exclaim
"Hey there" I reply thinking about how weird it sounds hearing their voices not right next to me.
"You have a new hat" I comment
"Yeah I do "Luke reply's, "I couldn't be hatless". There was an awkward silence how can it be so awkward when we went through so much together? I think to myself.
"Everything is fine back there, we have a new scientist bores us to death" Zanna didn't need to clarify what there is, it's the research facility where there parents work "What took you so long?"
"Rubbish internet" I reply quickly, their looks tell me that they know I'm not telling everything but before then can ask , I cut in" What about Promenthon ?" I ask nervously.
"Vanished left without a trace "There was no smile on Rebecca's face when she said that.
"Where did they go ask "immediately worrying about Tigger, "Don't worry Nicole" Luke's soothing voice calms me a bit," Even if they set foot in Canada we will tell you"
"What about you guys are you sure you're safe" worry is obvious in my voice
"He won't dare set foot here again and if he does" There was obvious threat in his voice, "We'll make sure he doesn't again" Luke said with a growl.
The way Luke said that was a painful reminder of how dangerous we are and if we lose control well it's not pretty.
"How's Bob" I ask desperate to distract myself from the dark thoughts.
"Good they have a new litter" Rebecca reply's confused about my change in subject.
"Have you named them?"
"No, we thought you would want to contribute?"
"I'll think of some and tell you next time"
"What do you want to tell us" Zanna's voice was as hard as steel, How did she figure that out?
"You're an open book, Nicole. The random change of subjects you were distracting us and the obvious look of guilt on your face" Rebecca explains.
"I snapped in public "I say bracing myself for the replies.
"What- ,"You could have en-""I can't believe you were so reckless"
"I'm sorry, I was eating then it came, I tried to get out and-"
"What happened Nicole and don't lie" Zanna's voice hurt
"The fire alarm went off and I fainted and the whole school saw" I reply trying to and swear as many questions as possible.
"Nicky what excuses did you come up with" the steel is now replaced with worry.
"I said I had a migraine and had to go to go ", "I then got up and as I was about to go out the fire alarm went off"
When I look up they have flared, three same coloured eyes staring at me.
SNAP
Even though we were far away I could feel them faintly, I didn't push.
"Nico-"Rebecca was cut off because I griped my head and started rocking back on forth.
"NICOLE" Luke shouted, this made the speakers screech making my ears hurt.
"I just felt another presence" I say "Did you feel it" I demanded
"Yes, I thought it was Tigger though"
"No, Tigger feels different this felt primal, raw "I shudder, "Could Promenthon hav- ?"
"No we are the only ones ,no more" Luke's harsh voice cut me off
"It was probably my headache "I say
They don't believe me "Nicole" Luke is tempted to say something else but Rebecca cuts in" Just be careful"
And with that the screen is black.
Tory's POV
I jog lightly to the bunker with Coop just in front of me. When I get there a discussion is already in full bloom.
"What happens if she tells on us?" Ben argues to Shelton.
"She won't, and even IF she does no one will believe her" Shelton counters back
"What are they talking about" I mummer to Hi.
"If we should tell Nicole about the pack"
I weigh up the options in my head. If we told her it would make our lives much easier but if she told we will be the study of scientist and Coop… I dare not think about it. My eyes gaze of too Ben admiring his eyes.
"Tory to earth, Tory to earth" Hi's voice brings me back to reality.
"What do you think Tory, it's on you now to decide" Ben's voice brings me into this argument.
"If we tell her and she tells on us no one will believe her so it won't hurt either way" I conclude, a bit surprised that I have a big say in this.
"Hey did you guys notice that Nicole was acting weird at lunch" I ask
"Um, which part when she fainted?" Hi says rolling his eyes.
"No before that part, she kept her head down low , left quickly and then fainted and it looked like she wanted to cover her ears does that sound familiar to anyone"
"Do you mean..?" Ben's question is left in the air.
"It can't be, we would have known about it somehow" Hi immediately replies but there is doubt in his voice.
I change the subject quickly "how's people on flaring?"
"Okay we haven't flared in public uncontrollably so I take that as a positive factor" Hi says
"Shall we try then?" I question.
"Uh, maybe not, maybe tomorrow" Ben's voice full of reluctance
"I can't do tomorrow" Shelton says raising questioning looks.
"Why what's happening tomorrow Shelton" Hi sayings with a cunning tone
"I have a project with Nicole for physics" Shelton mumbles and blushing.
"That will be a perfect way of finding out what she is or she will tell us" Ben says in a logical tone.
"You mean spying, that will not get us anywhere" the tone in my voice tells them it's final, "Shall we flare then"
In less than a minute two amber eyes stare at me, I think of how annoying Whitney is and
SNAP
My eyes make the dim light seem like midday. Ben is straining trying to flare.
"Who shall do me or you" Hi asks me
"I'll do it he hates you as much as it is" sighing walk over to ben and slap him hard and jump back quickly.
"We really need to find another way" Hi comments.
"No shit, Sherlock" Ben says.
I feel them and Coop, I know I can push but I won't as we a close by. Shall we tr-
I suddenly grip my head and rock back and forth , I feel a presence a pushing against me and it's not us , I know the others as well feel it. Then it's gone.
"What the fuck was that" Ben exclaims
"I don't know, I don't know" I say while rubbing my temples.
