Crissy pov

Waking up to a banging headache, I raised my hand to my head to discover that I have a huge lump on the size of my head. Then images of my best friend...* well Chris the closest I have ever being to having a friend so I think she can be called a best friend* punching me came back to me. I sat up quickly only to hear the nurse gasp. Yep, my so called best friend sent me to the school nurse, oh she is in so much trouble when I see her. I know she is crazy but she has to explain this one.

" stay still, I will get the principal the nurse said with her voice quivering then left as quickly as she could. I shrugged my shoulders wondering what is wrong with her.

" you are awake. That's good. " a male voice boomed and I raised my head to see that a man as entered the room with a few of my teachers and my Aunty. She looked distressed, I wonder what has happened now.

Being the respectful girl I am* emphasis on respectful *, the first word that came into my mouth, bypassing my brain was. " who are you and what have you done to my aunt. " then I just have to continue to prove that I don't think before talking and that I also don't have a filter. " I swear, if you hurt my aunt I will make your life unbearable, I don't know how I will do it but trust me when I say that I will. " okay, that was weird I know for a fact that I have two filters, and I never say my real feelings based on the fact that I was trained that way. Oh well, I mentally shrugged, seems like Chris has been influencing me more than I knew.

" Crissy. " aunt Hanna gasps.

" what. " I asked as she stared at me with worry. " what's wrong "

After receiving a nod from the man leading the group she proceeded to sit besides me " do you know why you are here. "

" because a girl I took as my best friend decked me. I guess this is why you don't have a best friend after knowing someone for only two weeks. " my best attempt at sacrasm didn't work because none of them cracked a smile even aunt Hanna who is pretty much always carefree.

" do you know why she hit you. " the man asked.

" no. " I mumbled. It is starting to sink in that I might be in trouble. My situation is looking somber, apparently I did something bad.

" you were torturing Joshua. Level A kind of t*****e. The kind a high school girl who grew up here is not suppose to know not to mention the one that didn't grow up here. " the man said and it sink in. Some how, what I am in trouble for is doing a spell wrong even when I am not aware.

Looking to my aunt and seeing the worry in her eyes, I asked in a tiny voice. " am I in trouble? " even thought it is obvious, I needed to confirm and start denying.

"Of course not. " my aunt denied. " but tell me did you look into my books. "

" no. I can barely understand my school work, how can i understand yours. " I asked with my forehead wrinkled at the idea of looking at her book. Please I am not a geek by any chance and if I were I would look at my school book and maybe I would know how to fly a broomstick by now.

" oh okay, the principal is going to give you some tests and when you are through with them we will tell you what happened okay. " aunt Hanna said softly and like a little child listening to her mother's instructions, I nodded. It looks like I can still escape and I don't want to enter trouble. Aunt Hanna is all I have left. I don't want to be separated from her. Sappy, clingy, call it whatever you like, it doesn't change the fact that she is my only family alive.

" can you heal the lump on your head with an out loud spell. "

" I haven't learned that spell yet. " I muttered but he still heard me. Well he can't blame me for my thoughts, I never knew that I would be taking a test.

" try. " he said and I nodded then searched my brain for a spell, maybe o came across one while reading or rather flipping my spell textbook. Then all of a sudden, I got the words and with my eyes closed I recited them and when I started feeling a tingling on my face, exactly where the wound was I opened my eyes.

" you did it. " aunt Hanna said.

" I did what. " I asked feeling completely out of the loop. What is happening. Did they quiz every body like this or is it just me?

" healed your self. Good job. " aunt Hanna looked to the principal who has his brows furrowed as if he was trying to make out a missing connection, like something was just within the reach of his brain and he is trying to grab it. I know the feeling, I see it in my face when I look at the mirror.

" can you create the elements we have out of thin air. " he asks and when the rest gasps I knew it was a big deal so I shrugged and tried after all if I could heal myself without knowing the spell this might be a piece of cake for me too.

With my eyes closed I imagined that everywhere was breezy and when that happened I proceed with fashioning water, earth and fire with their gasps were like nofications informing me that I have done it. After fire I had a tingling in my neck and the feeling that I was missing one more element so with my still closed eyes. I tried to imagined the element without knowing it, when they gasps and muttering arose I opened my eyes to see an electric blue transparent light in waves before me. A gasp tore from my lips and shattered my concernation and the blue wavy whatever disappeared at one.

" what was that. " I asked scared.

" that was all you. " the principal said proudly " only few students can master the lowest level in the act of spirit and end up in coma for some hours . That was the medium level and you don't even feel faint. "

" so in simpler terms what do you mean. " I asked still feeling out-of my depths. Not understanding what he was trying to imply.

" in simpler terms it means that you are powerful and what held your powers at bay was the block your parents put on you and now the block is gone and all you powers and learning will soon start to show" the principal said.

" what. " I asked with a still dumb expression on my face. And a blank mind.

" your parents gave you training then locked it up in one part of your brain so you can't access it until you are matured enough or something emotionally traumatic enough can make you snap and you can regain all they taught you. This could mean that the realms secrets, national secrets and the works of your parents could be hidden in your brain. Miss Crissy Romero. You just became the most important teenager alive... " the principal said then added in an afterthought "Apart from the heir apparent, that is. "
