Unwanted Elements - Chapter 14

An irritating sound woke me up and I groaned loudly. I could feel my watch vibrating softly on my arm with every siren-like sound it made. Without opening my eyes, I felt around and pressed every button on the stupid watch that I could feel. It wouldn’t shut off. I opened my eyes and again searched for the snooze or off button. It wouldn’t shut up! I felt my blood boiling and started ripping at the watch with frustration. It wouldn’t come off either! "UGH! Shut the hell up!" I yelled at the stupid thing. "Azorah! Calm down!" I looked up and saw Amelia in front of me. "Go outside and it’ll go off," she said.

I groaned frustrated and stomped out of my room so hard my feet ached. As soon as I stepped outside the damn thing stopped. I looked around at the school or whatever! My eyes burned with hatred. "Enough!" "Azorah?" I spun around and looked at Amelia. She had a concerned look in her eyes. And something else. Fear. She was scared. "Ame-." "Azorah." I looked right and saw Miss Roch walking towards me. "What?" I asked. I was so pissed right now. My blood literally felt like it was boiling as it pounded through my veins. Miss Roch gave me a look of pure hatred but I wasn’t backing down and shot her my own. We had a silent stare off for a while when she spoke. "Mister Emalicus wants to see you now," she said firmly. "Well, that’s just too bad because I’m not going anywhere near that guy," I said. More hatred. I held her gaze. "Well, aren't we cocky this morning. You should know by now that whatever you do will be held against you or should I say your parents." "My parents are dead, Miss Roch. I know what you did to them," I said and I could feel tears coming on but I refused to look away.

Miss Roch took a small step back. One so small that she hoped I wouldn’t notice. "What makes you say that?" She asked. I scoffed. "When last have you allowed me to see them?" I asked back. She looked at me seriously again. "You know you’re not allowed to see them anymore. We’ve decided to keep you away from them since you’re so... special," she said. "Look, I know you think I’m stupid, you think I’m naïve, you probably think I’m the biggest joke on this damn planet! But I know what’s going on. You killed my mom out of jealousy and soon after my dad starved himself," I said. Miss Roch’s eyes grew wide. "How did you-." "That’s something you don’t need to know," I said and looked over at Amelia standing inside my room. Far enough so that Miss Roch couldn’t see her. She couldn’t keep anything from me.

I knew she went to visit my parents every single chance she got. I couldn’t imagine what it must’ve been like for her to see Miss Roch kill my mom and not being able to do anything about it. My dad was smart. I half hated him for doing it but I knew it was for the best. My parents were up in heaven right now and I will see them again. I’ve got the freedom to fight now. It’s only my life at risk now. They’re safe and if I should die fighting these people. Well that’s just fine. I’ll be back with my parents, Amelia can pass over knowing that I’m safe and Emalicus loses his little protégé.

I glared at Miss Roch. "You loved my dad. I remember. He told me once about you. Crazy little, Jane. He used to date you out of pity because you were so obsessed with him and he wasn’t seeing anyone at the time. He met my mom. Fell in love with her and dumped you. You couldn’t take it. Went to a mental hospital and that’s probably where Emalicus found you. You were the smartest girl at the university and he probably believed you would be perfect. You’d follow him because you had nothing more to live for and having these powers gave you a new sense of importance. Well that was until you saw my dad again. All the same feelings came back and you hated my mom for taking him away from you and driving you into a mental hospital."

At this point Miss Roch was red with anger and her lip was shivering. Good, I wanted her to get angry. She need to get mad at me right now. "You killed my mom." Tears ran down my face but they were hot and angry. My heart ached as I thought of my parents but I remained focused. This had to end now. "But guess what, my dad still didn’t want you! He couldn’t live without my mom and I’m proud of him," I said. "Well you little bitch," Miss Roch said. I smiled through my tears. "Yeah, that’s another thing about me." I thrust my palm forward and Miss Roch hit the floor frozen in ice. I didn’t know if she was dead or not but she wasn’t moving.
