66-They Fight Over Me
âEnya!â
âEnya! Are you okay?â a fainted voice shook me awake. I opened my eyes with difficulty and found my
body in my bed.
âWhat happened?â Lazloâs voice was a hint that I wasnât alone. They were all gathered around me and
staring at me.
I then realized what had probably happened. I passed out once I used too much of my powers. I shook
my head and tried waking up entirely to hear what the others were saying to Thiago.
âIt is always you who gets her in trouble,â Maynard grunted, standing with his bed and accusing Thiago.
âI know right! It is like whenever he gets closer to her, she gets in trouble,â Lazlo said, joining Maynard.
By this time, already knew Lazlo and Maynard were one team. They didnât like Thiago or probably
didnât get along with him. It was Thiagoâs choice as well because he refused to hang out with them.
I have seen him sit alone and do massive research and spend time on his computer or phone, God
knows doing what, then to spend time with them.
âEnough!â | groaned, sitting up in the bed. They watched my face and then shared a glance, probably
because they knew I was going to take Thiagoâs side.
âHe didnât do anything and please can you two remind me when was the last time he got me in
trouble?â | stared at them, reminding them with my eyes what they did was still fresh in my memory.
âAnd before you two argue, next time when you lie about me, make sure you donât act all saint
afterward,â I finished talking but they knew I was not listening to them anymore.
âWe didnât lie because of a malicious intent,â Maynard stepped ahead to argue more.
âCan we let her rest?â Thiago finally spoke up after he had enough of our arguments.
âMalicious or not, you fooled me,â I wasnât quitting either. I got off the bed to stand face to face with
Maynard, who was not backing down either.
âAnd that was fair of you when you decided to pick him and reject the two of us?â as Maynard recalled
the conversation he had heard back when Thiago and I were in the woods, Lazlo heaved a gasp from
his gaping mouth.
âShe was going to reject us?â Lazlo pushed Maynard back so that he can be the one I face now. His
eyes were glaring into mine angrily as if I have received them.
âAnd he asked her to do it,â to add fuel to the fire, Maynard pointed at Thiago.
âThat will be enough,â Thiago came forward to grab my hand and pull me back from the two. Now it
was them staring into each otherâs eyes.
I was tired of this back and forth, they need to get one thing clear. I was not a reward and neither a
competition
âYou two have been trying your best to cause a rift between us. It is not like you two didnât try for her to
pick you, so donât point at me.â Thiago was talking to them but they were only scoffing at his every
word.
âAt least we didnât ask her to reject anyone,â with that one phrase, Maynard collected his jacket and
sprinted out of the room.
Lazlo passed me one last glance after he glared at Thiago and followed Maynard to the outside I had
no clue how to deal with this mess when I was already under so much stress
I flopped down in the bed and sighed. Thiago turned over to me and sat down with me. I know we had
a lot to talk about including the way I clicked those locks open and then passed out.
âWhat you did on the rooftop was spectacular,â he held my hands tightly, but once again. I felt nothing. I
was slightly on the edge thinking maybe I lost that power?
I didnât know how it works but it was indeed weird.
66-They Fight Over Me
âYeah! But I passed out,â I responded weakly. Was I really that special? It was like somebody telling me
my previous years were a joke. I have lived hearing I am a weak omega and I will be nothing if I didnât
get accepted by a strong and powerful mate. Which was why I stuck around with Corbin for so long. I
was now realizing he used to be abusive from the start. I just choose to ignore it because he wasnât
abusing me.
âThat happens with power. You just need to make sure you keep practicing until you stop passing out.â
He was very supportive of my powers, something that Maynard and Lazlo lacked.
They wanted me to be with them when they needed me, but where were they when I wanted help with
my powers?
Oh yeah! They were right here making fun of me.
âI am not ready yet?â I asked and he shook his head.
âWe wouldnât want you to pass out right when you unlock the lockers, do we?â he cupped my face but
then pulled away when his phone rang in his pocket.
âI will attend this call and be right back with you, okay?â he got up from my side and left the room to
speak to whoever was calling him
Now that I was alone with Nia, I wanted to hear from her.
âAre you there?â I asked because previously she was gone for a day or so.
lam,â she replied, âI got sort of wasted when I used most of my energy to save us the other day,â she
replied happily.
I know she was surprised too now that she knew she wasnât weak at all.
âAbout that. Thiago is really helping us out, isnât he?â I mentioned him because just when I thought he
was over me; he came back for me.
âYeah!â she didnât say much and her silence kind of got me curious.
âWhat is it?â I asked and when she didnât respond, I decided to ask her again, âI have noticed one of our
powers is gone. Every time I touch his hands, I feel nothing.â I stated just to hear what she has to say
about it?
That is concerning me as well. Are we supposed to lose powers like this?â she asked and it worried me
too because what if I lose my power night when I am in the building and ready to unlock the vault?
