    The NightDust guy lashed out again and I skipped back even more, he growled like an animal and pushed at me with his telekinesis. I stumbled back with stunned movements; I hadn’t put up my shield thinking that I didn’t need to. Obliviously I was wrong.
    “a*****e,” I muttered half to myself, my eyes turning back to blue as I calmed down.
    “Don’t call me an a*****e,” he growled at me, lashing forward with a dagger yet once again.
    I dodged sidewards to avoid from being hit in any major arteries but I knew I’d be hit anyway because I wouldn’t be fast enough. His dagger struck my right arm and I cried out in pain, dropping my dagger to clutch at it. I dropped on my haunches and glared at the guy.
    He smirked. “Not so tough are we?”
    I glared harder. “I'm sure I’m tougher than you.”
    I swung my hand out at him, my shield hitting him square in the face and he staggered backwards. He stumbled more from the shock, dropping his weapon and before he could regain his balance, I plucked my dagger off the ground and embedded it in his chest with a throw. He screamed in agony and clawed at the dagger, trying to pull it out.
    “That won’t work, that dagger is engraved with a special curse which means no one can touch it but me,” I said, stalking him like a wolf as he kept staggering backwards.
    He made a chocking sound as blood ran down his chin from his mouth; he tripped over his feet and fell onto the ground with a heavy thud. I stood over his gasping and panting form with an evil smile. I could feel the fire rise in my eyes again, they flashed red and the wolf appeared next to me.
    His eyes went wide as my eyes reddened then they went to the wolf at my side and back to me.
    “What…what are you?” he asked shakily.
    I smiled an unpleasant smile. “Your death.”
    The wolf lunged at his throat, the sound of crunching bone and tearing flesh could be heard coming from it. Growls of the wolf overcome the screaming of the man as I bent to grab my dagger from his chest. I cover the scene with smoke but not before I saw blood run down from his throat, soaking his t-shirt and began to make a puddle around him. I wiped the blood from the dagger on my black jeans, looking away from him.
    “Tory!” Seth called from a group of men and women at my back.
    I looked, forgetting what I looked like; red eyes that were changing back , dagger in hand and bloody clothes. He stopped before he actually got to me, staring at me like I was a stranger. I knew what he was seeing, my red eyes like NightDust and blood, lots of blood from one man. I turned away, ashamed; I didn’t want him to see me like this.

    Horror, absolute horror filled me. I didn’t mean for it to show on my face but it was just such a surprise that it happened automatically. Tory had red eyes, red eyes like NightDust.
    No! I was screaming over and over in my head, it couldn’t be like that, there had to be another explanation for it. She couldn’t be with NightDust, their eye colour didn’t change, they had red tinges to it or they were fully red. She just couldn’t be.
    “Tory…no…” I mumbled, extremely dazed.
    She half turned towards me, her eyes nearly back to the pale blue that they were. Something was off about this; they just don’t turn from blue to red then back again. I couldn’t understand what was happening and I doubted she would want to tell me the full truth.
    Tory gasped then yelled, “Seth!”
    I looked up; a ball of sparking electricity was hurtling towards me at a highly fast speed. What the hell was that? Where did that come from and how was it made? I thought as I held up my arms to shield myself thinking it was an illusion.
    “Seth, No!” Tory screamed.
    She threw herself in front of me, from what I could see between my fingers, with her shield up, it was so powerful that you could see it glitter and shine in random places with the naked eye.
    The electric ball hit the shield, making a sizzling and static sound at the impacted. Tory grunted from the strength and speed of the ball hitting her shield, I had always thought she would one day be powerful but not this powerful.
    She turned her head to look at me and caught my amazed stare. “Seth! Don’t just stand there, God damn run!”
    I snapped out of my daze and nodded. “Right.”
    I hated to leave her, even if she could look after herself. I looked at her one last time as she dropped her shield and ran in the direction the ball had come from. I knew that she didn’t need any help just as yet, helping someone else right now would be best.
    I turned away from my baby girl, not that she was really my baby anymore. A beautiful grown woman she had become. I ran off into the other direction, knowing that she would be alright.

    I huffed air in and out of my system, panting helped with the pain because I concentrated on the more. The electricity user stood a few feet in front of me, panting at the same time. Burns occupied the skin of his arms, burns from my fire and his electricity bouncing off my shield.
    “What are you?!” he growled, sounding like a NightDust person even though he clearly wasn’t.
    “I am what you are,” I said back stone-faced.
    I had this plan ever since I had read that book and it told me why there were all those dangerous powers out there, including mine. My plan was to find and convince the people that had those six abilities; water, electricity, air, earth and ice, to join my side. To get them to read the book and see what we were born for, the reason we were put on this Earth.
    “You are not, you are something different from me,” he half denied.
    “I am, you are an electricity user and I am a fire user. We are the same,” I said coldly, which wasn’t a good idea.
    “Why do you have two powers? This is un-heard of,” he asked with a shake of his head.
    “Listen to me, heed my words carefully. NightDust are not what you think, they want nothing more than to use you. I have read a book with a prophecy in it, you need to see it as-,” he cut me short.
    “I know if this prophecy, I have heard it before,” he said with a blank face.
    What? He had read it before? Where and how? The book was in the Drake building library…I mean there was just no way that was possible, unless there was a second book and NightDust had it.
    “Then you must know why we have to join forces, we must stick to the-,” I was cut off again but not by him.
    “Join the Drake agency? You must be daft woman,” a NightDust lady said, appearing next to him.
