Pinto couldn't be he is a teacher. We would know if he is."Ronny said.

"How would we know if he is covered from top to bottom?" I said.

He nodded.

"Pinto's from lady cactus?" I remembered one of the names from the list.

"You are wise."Jesse said.

"Mr. Pinto is an invader that's why he is covered from top to bottom." he added.

"He wouldn't want his students to be thoroughly repulsed by seeing him." one of the friends of Jesse said. (The dark one)

"Why would we be?" I asked.

"Because pinto their body is covered with pricking pins like cactus."Kenny said.

Jesse nodded.

They left the conversation drop for a while because they are not ready for anymore shocks right now. One thing is the leads are practically talking to them and eating with them and for another there are invaders in this academy.

"Do you get bad dreams all the time?" Jesse whispered.

"What?" I asked.

"I saw you screaming in the morning because of a bad dream you are pretty tensed." he said.

"How did you do that? Were you in my room?" I asked.

"Of course not, you know that none can enter into others room unless they are invited." he said.

"Is that so?" I said.

"Don't you know that is a rule Mr. Dom has laid and follows strictly." he said.

"Who is Mr. Dom?" I asked.

He chuckled and looked at the dome.

"Oh!"

"Is he an alien too?" I asked.

"Nope, he lives in the tower in the Westside; none has ever tried to go there. Mr. Harry says that he is a touch me not." he said.

While I'm heading to my room Jesse caught me near the corridor.

"Don't you want to know how I saw you in the morning." he said.

"I'm sorry there's a lot in my mind." I said.

He gestured me to look at his palms. Then there is a picture of Helen and Andy. Andy snogging Helen. I covered his hand with mine.

"You shouldn't do that." I said.

"Were you not interested to know what they are doing? A little while ago." he said.

"I keep forgetting that you are a mind reader." I said.

"My friends want to be introduced to you. Will you see them?" he said.

"It's my pleasure." I said.

We walked to the same tree where we sat yesterday.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"Here," he gestured me to look at his hands.

The dark one appeared and is waving at me. I moved in close to have a good view of them. Jesse really smelled good. His scent was of lemon and soap.

"Wave to him" he said.

"Hey," I waved at him.

"I'm Henry," he said.

The image shifted and replaced the fair one. I waved at him. He said his name was Sam. Jesse clapped his hands and then there is nothing in there again.

"He is about to say something." I said.

"I don't want someone to get in between. After all you spend only a few minutes with me." he said.

What does he mean? Is he flirting? Remember rose he is a mind reader.

"Hey, how did you do that?" he asked.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"You shut me off your mind." he complained.

"Me?" I asked.

"Yes you were thinking about me and everything goes blank. You did the same thing last time too but I thought it's just my imagination but I know now better."

"I don't know what you are saying."

"What's your power?"

"To move things, without touching." I said.

"How do you do that? I mean move the things."

"I just imagine them."

"What were you thinking before you blocked me?" he asked.

"I just remembered that you are a mind reader and so I said to myself that I shouldn't allow you to hear my thoughts."

"Now I'll tell you something to do. Will you do it for me?" he asked after a few minutes of thought

"Anything for you." I said.

He clapped his hands and then again an image appeared where Sam and Henry are playing chess in their room.

"Now imagine that Henry is giving Sam a nice and tight slap." he whispered to me.

I did as he said and to my surprise Henry who is immersed in the game got up suddenly and walked to Sam and slapped. Jesse burst into laughter at once. Sam looked at us.

"What was that about?" he said angry.

"Our rose is a mind controller." Jesse said excited.

"Mind controller?" they both shrieked at once.

He clapped his hands again and turned towards me.

"Is that bad?" I asked.

"Bad?" he exclaimed.

"It's a rare talent to control minds. In all these years there is only another person who can control minds. She is Elisa's mother."

"Don't you alter thoughts of people? So you must be mind controller too."

"It's different rose, I can't make someone do my bidding besides when I alter thoughts they only last for a few seconds not more than that."

"You can make people fight against evil and let them die fighting your battle. Though I doubt you would be able to do that." he said.

"Will you promise me something?" he asked.

"Anything" I said.

"You shouldn't make me love you. I don't like a goose head as my girlfriend." he said laughing.

I chased him through the garden and corridors unto the corridor of our rooms threatening to slap him. He stopped at our corridor panting.

"You can't make me do the same thing twice." he said and kissed me on the forehead and left humming.

Andy cleared his throat.

"Hi," I said and was stepping away from him.

"Rose," he called after me.

"I know what you wanted to say but he is just a friend." I said.

He was about to say something when I got irritated and I shouted it's just a perk. It's not like you are snogging my friend.

He was staring at me when I went into my room. I felt sorry for shouting at him. He's just concerned about me.

Simple combats, Ronny was still easy to disarm. Mr. Philip thought us how to parry a blow and launch the same against our opponent.

"I just wanted to make you happy by losing."Ronny boasted.

"Oh! Really?" I said and launched a heavy blow in his stomach.
He squealed and fell down to the floor. Mr. Philip ran to the aid of him one of the stronger boys heaved him up and took him into the hospital wing and Mr. Philip followed them dispersing the class. I ran away into the garden thinking what I did to that poor guy.

I sat down under the tree crying for what I have done. I'll never be able to forgive myself I thought.

"Rose."Jesse sat beside me squeezing my hands gently. I cried on his shoulders.

"I'm bad." I moaned.

"No, you are not." he said.

"You would say that, if you knew what I did."I said.

"I imagined me launching a blow to Ronny and he writhing in pain on the ground. I didn't want that to happen. It's just a silly thought because I was so frustrated about Andy's comments but..." I stammered.

"Do you know that Rosalie (Elisa's mother) once accidentally imagined killing a person with her bare hands." he said.

"Did he die?" I asked.

"It's not that worse right? You can help him if you want to." he said.

"How do I do that?" I asked.

"Imagine him being healed, healthy and happy." he said.

I nodded and closed my eyes and prayed to god for his well and imagined. When I opened my eyes Ronny was sleeping in the bed smiling and eased from the pain.

"Thanks," I said to Jesse for showing him.

"Come with me," Jesse said.

We went to Harry's room.

"Ah! I have been expecting you." harry said.

"Do you know about her power a very useful but quite dangerous." he said smiling.

"How do I stop myself imagining such things?" I asked.

"You simply have to order your mind not to do everything you imagine." he said.

"But wouldn't that shut her powers off and not be useful at the right time?" Jesse asked.

"She can order her mind to give her powers back again." he said.

"To switch between your powers you need a lot of practice." harry said.

"Until then you watch over her and warn her when she is about to do something drastic." harry added.

"May be I should go and check on Ronny." I said.

"Let's go." he said.

"Don't you have a class now?" I asked.

"Professor Quirell wouldn't mind.” he said.

"His name sounds different is he an alien too?" I asked.

"Nope, that isn't his name. His name is Dan." he said.

I frowned then he explained how his face resembles a squirrel.

Ronny smiled on seeing me.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to punch you that hard."

"Oh! I shouldn't have provoked you. It's my entire fault."

"I'm really sorry."

"If you are going to say sorry again I’m going to throw myself out of this window “he said smiling.

I smiled.

"Can we go to the class now?" Ronny asked the nurse.

"What's the hurry? Stay here take some rest." I said.

"Oh! No," he added, "I’m going to miss life skills."

"The class work is suspended." Jesse said.

"Why?"

"I think there is someone here to visit us." he said.

"How did you know that? Did they announce or what?"

"No, I read headmaster's thoughts."

4.ELisa

It's huge room but it seems like it wasn't dusted for years. The house is eerie. I was going through the rooms to call someone for help when I heard someone shouting. I walked in the direction of the voice. The voice is loud and clear now. I am trembling may be I sensed danger but I urged it to move forward in vain. I knew the voice I thought. I took a step forward reached for the door. I opened it a little when i saw someone in black cloak .He is as tall as giraffe and the other man turned stared at the door and then he looked at the dark figure. It's kind of funny to look at them.

"I want that girl. I don't want to take chances." the dark figure said, "bring me the girl, Cyrus."

"Can't we wait until the girl finds her soul-mate?" Cyrus asked.

"After all she may turn into one of us. Imagine the power we have if she turns out to be a nightling." Cyrus added.

"What if she turns to be a protector of earthlings? We can't afford that." the dark cloak man said.

"I don't think that rose girl has so much power. I have seen her she is just a mere healer." Cyrus said.

(He said that last words I mean the healer part with a sneer.)My heart pounded
