My original plan had been to find the six victims. However it had been several days and we had found no traces of them. It seems like I can turn my attention back to the class. In class I painfully activated my ability and found the ringleader.

{I make my classmates bully people}

Not surprising the one who put the rabbit in my desk was not him. As I investigated there were only six other people under him. Each having committed a number of evils. I could investigate them deeper but I felt that would be a disgrace. Why would you try to get to know the people soon to be underfoot?

I quickly schemed how I should get revenge. Then when I saw one of the crimes the ringleader had committed I knew why people would say ‘an eye for an eye’. Even more so it would help me regain the position I was in before.

In our school when you go to P.E you leave your bag in the classroom. It must be a coincidence but I don't participate in P.E class, I thought to myself. I suddenly had a beautiful thought that would combine several different circumstances to elevate my plan to the next level. In fact next week our school had an event, an event that would bring many people to our school.

I let out an evil giggle that made several people near me twitch. Suddenly Kaede walked up to my desk.

“Did you find anything?” I asked carefully.

“No, but may I ask something of you?” She said quite shy.

“Sure.” I answered.

“Can we go out to look for those people this weekend?” Her question surprised me. Looking for people especially given the circumstances won’t be achieved by just looking out and about. But perhaps Kaede knew something.

“Sure.” I answered.

“Do you want to meet up Saturday morning?” Kaede made schedules ahead of time.

“Sure.” I answered.

“At the coffee shop.”

“Sure.” I answered.

“Is all you say sure?” Kaede asked, upset.

“Sure.” I answered yet again.

Kaede stomped away upset. I didn't even have time to care about her. I have too many things to focus on.

I gathered all the materials I needed for revenge now I just had to wait for the opportune moment.

The weekend came and on Saturday morning I went to the coffee shop. The only people inside the shop were the old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Drake, they were sitting at the counter chatting away happily. When I walked in Mr. Drake’s head turned and a smile infected his face.

“How are you doing, Azure?” He asked happily. When I got closer they both got a sight of me. I was dressed in casual clothes though still with the thick jacket.

“What happened to you?” The old pair asked in unison. After I explained what happened they sat with a calm expression, clearly thinking. I cared what they thought of me, though it wouldn’t change anything.

Suddenly Mr. Drake outbreaks, “That's so sad,” and he started to cry. Mrs. Drake just sat with a calm face, but her eyes were filled with emotion. I saw pity mixed with worry and slight anger.

“What are you going to do about it?” The old lady asked, completely serious. I hesitated which I usually don’t, you must act immediately or else it will be bad is usually a creed I stick to.

“I will serve justice.” I finally answered.

“That justice is not yours to serve.” She commented immediately.

“I am not going to do it alone.” I said.

“It is still not your burden to bear.” She once again answered immediately. All the while Mr. Drake was just sitting silently knowing and slowly his eyes turned to those of a puppy dog.

“I want to do this.” I said feeling insecure.

“It won’t make you feel better. This is not the answer.” Mrs. Drake started to pressure me with her words. Though by some this might be the time to start the fight of words. For me it was not, lies and deception do not matter in front of the truth. At least, in times like this.

“Then you know the answer?” I asked desperately. Suddenly that dark feeling came over me again. The waves pitch black like the abyss. It overcomes my heart, slowly but surely.

“I can not give you the answer.” Mrs. Drake said. Useless, it's all useless, nobody can help. The abyssal wave’s calmness started to turn into pain like the deep ocean.

“Then how do you know this is not the answer?” I asked, trying to force my opinion.

“Even if I explain it to you, you wouldn’t understand.” She said still like a boulder.

“Why wouldn’t I understand, have I not gone through enough? Am I stupid? Am I missing something?” I berated almost yelling. My emotions were starting to overcome me, the doubt and pain I had kept in my heart were eating away at my mind. Suddenly a bell sounded throughout the shop and in came a girl, Abby. She looked at me and my disheveled appearance and looked confused. I immediately composed myself, hoping for this not to cause any complications. Silence filled the room and I was starting to get bothered by it.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Azure, I can not tell you how to live, I can only teach you to understand it.” Mrs. Drake said calmly, distracting me from many problems.

“Okay.” I said, trying to end the conversation. I took a deep breath and turned around, standing still like a moose in the headlights was Abby.

“What are you doing here?” I asked meanly.

“Kaede invited me, um- did I interrupt something?” She responded quite shyly.

“You know her?” Mr. Drake finally got a speaking line.

“Yes, she is in my class.” I answered dully. I could sense danger coming.

“OMG, Azure, you know two whole girls. This has never happened before. I never knew you would awaken to become a true casanova.” Mr. Drake teased annoyingly. His words frustrated even me, once again I doubted his character. I decided to check again with my ability.

Nothing. My ability got nothing on them as usual. Neither on Mr. or Mrs. Drake. I have checked them with my ability often since I have met them. To have no sins, is a crazy thing. I wonder if they are just special, but no possible variable came to mind that hasn’t been disproven already.

Hearing my silence Mr. Drake decided to continue, “Azure, are you keeping any other ladies from us? You are my good boy, bring home a bundle of daughter-in-laws and build yourself a harem.” His words turned more disgusting the more he spoke.

“Shut up.” I said annoyed. Meanwhile Abby was standing still probably thinking her way through our words and suddenly blushed.

“Hello, nice to meet you. I am Abby Hathy. You must be Azure's parents? Grandparents?” Abby introduced herself.

“Why do both of you make the same damn mistake? I have no blood relation with these people.” I started to rant.

“Oh- no relation, my mistake.” Abby said embarrassed. The bell signifying the door rang again, this time it was Kaede. I realized quickly and took Abby’s hand and started to exit.

“Have fun on your date.” Mr. Drake said obviously not allowing no such statement to be said. When I got to the door I let go of Abby and opened the door. Luckily both Abby and Kaede followed me out. Unfortunately the door did not close soon enough and I heard the words from Mrs. Drake.

“Wear protection.”

Frustration once again built itself inside me. I felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of children. After both Kaede and Abby stopped laughing we decided to walk around the area.

“So how were you going to look for them?” I asked Abby as we entered a fast food shop.

“How? Weren't we just going to go around and look for them.” Kaede said simply. My jaw dropped, was she really this stupid? Looking for a person only knowing their names was near impossible without some kind of support. Like looking for a needle in a cornfield. Literally like trying to find Waldo but at least you know what Waldo looks like.

“You're incredibly stupid.” I stated.

“How am I stupid. We don’t know anything about them. How are we supposed to find them?” Kaede said, pouting. We were approaching the front of the line and other people were starting to stare.

“Did you think we were just going to run-.” I started. The cashier was wearing a name tag entitled Haven Jolly. I fell silent.

“What?” Abby asked.

“Hurry up, other people are waiting .” Kaede added. God really likes people like Kaede, and he must really hate people like me.

“Hello my name is Azure Barrett, could I possibly have your phone number?” I introduced myself to the young lady in front of me. Obviously shocked, she started to stammer.

“Why are you trying to pick up girls Azure?” Abby said.

“Men.” Kaede added exasperated.

“Um, I am working right now. I cannot comply with such requests.” Haven said embarrassed.

“Stop flirting, I need to eat my chicken.” A fat lady in the group behind us almost yelled like a demon.

“I am not trying to flirt,” I started staring right at the black hair green eyed girl in front of me, “This is about Kurt.” The instant she heard the name she froze. Her eyes went wide and her breathing sped up.

“Kurt, do you mean she is?” Abby asked.

“I swear do either of you even remember the names I told you?” I was insulted.

“How do you know about ‘him’?” Haven asked.

“I know what he has done, I want justice.” I spoke. She paused a while to think. While she was thinking, the fat lady behind us started to breathe down our necks.

“Here.” She spoke, giving me a piece of paper.

“Thank you, it can’t have been easy. We will talk later.” I stated. She nodded.

We ordered quite embarrassingly. After we walked away from the counter a loud cheer came from a group of guys. Getting a girls number might be an achievement that they thought was worth cheering for, and honestly being supported by someone else felt quite good. However there are more important things right now.

“Now that I think about it I don’t have your number yet.” Kaede said.

“Neither do I.” Abby Added.

“Give.” Both of them said in unison. The same group of guys that were cheering are now staring daggers. I ignored them and decided to share my number with the two of them. Communication would be more convenient this way, though with a couple of costs.

“We found one.” Abby said.

“You said you wanted justice for all of them. Are you really going to gather them all?” Abby added.

“Yes.” I answered quickly.

“That's going to be hard, near impossible.” Abby said.

“So?” I said quite depressed.

“So? We were lucky this time. How are we possibly going to find the others?” Abby asked, emotions rising.

“Do you want me to give up?” I asked, Abby froze, I was staring at her with cold eyes.

“Do you think they don’t deserve justice?” I added, gaining momentum.

“But-” Abby started but I interrupted.

“But? You didn’t go through what they did. Stop sitting on your high horse. Enough people have abandoned and given up on them. My will is still strong, how could I give up simply because of some difficulty?” I ranted, my face turning more and more fierce. Both of them sat still and some of the other people in the shop fell quiet. I quelled my own anger and went back to my food.

“Why are you like this?” Kaede asked.

“This?” I asked, feeling quite insulted.

“You are cruel to your classmates, cold to anybody trying to come close to you. You ignore everybody and everything. You are stubborn against people to the point of yelling.” Kaede said.

“Everybody has a reason for who they are. What happened to you?” Kaede said.

“No they don’t, some people naturally become who they are through their experience or their own self.” I argued.

“But you aren’t one of those people.” Kaede said.

“Do you really want to know?” I asked.

“Yes, I want to know who you are.” Kaede said, determined. The people around us were waiting with bated breath. This was obviously a form of entertainment for them. The group of guys who cheered when I got the number even pulled out a watermelon. Many eyes were on me, but I had nothing to be ashamed about.
