Blackport PD: Paranormal Detectives

Chapter 62

Carina’s POV

It’s been months past the first day of school and here we are, drenching in sweat and crying in blood due to the trainings we have with him.

Well, of course not for me though. I don’t cry blood... I make them –

“Bloody! Another bull’s eye for Carina De Capria!” The crowd cheered as I hit the monster in front of me directly in the middle of its eye. It winced and pain and continuously cried in blood while murmuring inaudible words before he was turned to ashes and goes out with the wind.

“Nice one, baby.” Gene winked at me. I just rolled my eyes at him because he is always saying that not just to me but also to our other squad members. I just shook my head in annoyance and aimed my arrow at him. He stopped midway and raised his hand up in the air as if surrendering.

“Come on, Car. Haven’t you played Call of Duty or Mobile Legends before?” He sighed and turned his back on me when Sir Linux called out his name.

“Gene Feeble, you’re next!”

I slowly walk toward my seat on the bleachers next to the squad and there I saw Mica and Remus waving at me. Nathan just nodded and I nod back until I reached their spot. I shifted my glance at Maria and sighed when I saw that she is just staring blankly and didn’t even bulge when I sat next to her.

“Maria I—“

“Hush!” She hissed that made me move back. Students look at our direction, even Gene who is shaking his head in disbelief because he missed a shot after being distracted.

“What the hell is wrong with you?!” I shouted in irritation and pulled her closer to me. Her eyes are back to being void as she gritted her teeth while intently staring at me. I could see the anger and burning desire to hit me that made me more furious than ever.

“You are not like that! It’s been almost a year that you’re like that even to me! What the hell is wrong with you!” I snapped and pushed her away from me.  I inhaled deeply to calm myself and stare back at her who is clenching her fist while murmuring inaudible words directly toward me.

“Hey you two, I’ve missed both shots and now I ranked the lowest t—“

“Shut up!” We both shouted in unison that made Gene stopped. I saw how his brows furrowed and shifted his attention at Nathan who is now in a staring competition with Maria. Mica tries hiding her face using her palms as all of the attention went to us while Remus went to my back and gently dragged us off the field.

Before leaving the premises, I saw Nathan talking to Sir Linux. He just nods at everything he says and tilted his head to meet my eyes. He gently shook his head and shifted back to Sir Linux before we totally got out.

“What the hell are your problem, De Caprios? You’re twins, you weren’t supposed to be fighting that way!” Gene blurted out. He crossed his arms in annoyance and murmured under his breath while continuously rolling his eyes.

“That’s not a nice assumption, Gene. Twins could actually fight like the usual people though,” Mica refuted and went to my back.

“Better fix the ties... We’re a team here and you fighting every time you got a chance doesn’t help at all,” she whispered near my ear while gently rubbing and massaging my back.

I looked down, avoiding their gaze because I know they were right...

I shifted my gaze to Maria who is now on the corner of the room and her back facing us. I took a deep breath while remembering all the times that she slowly changed her attitude over time. There are times we clicked while most of the times, she is angry not just to me but to everyone else.

I tried understanding and being next to her every time she is alone but she just walks away and all the habits I didn’t know she has. Besides... We’ve been separated all our life and both lived traumatic lives but... hers are worse than mine. But sometimes...

I just saw her in my dreams... Pleading me to save her as she gets too damn bloody while I was holding a knife on my hands.

I took a deep breath and nods at Mica before standing up and slowly walked to her direction. I was about to touch her when the door opened and shows Nathan who is behind the door, looking so serious and all while holding a poster on his hands.

He checked everyone in the room until our eyes met and simply shook his head when he saw what I was gonna do. I took a step back and went back to my spot next to Mica as he went to the table in the front and showed us the poster.

“In for an adventure? List your squad name and be able to solve real-life cases outside Caelum!”

“What does that mean?” Remus asked and grabbed the poster from his hands. He read it multiple times until his eyes widen in shock and looks at Nathan who nods his head.

“We’re getting missions?!” Mica blurted out in joy and hugged me from the back. I saw Maria peeking at our direction but immediately avoided my gaze and turned it back to Nathan who was discussing things up the front.

“Remember Sir Ichigo? Our adviser and trainer for last year?” We all nodded in unison and gasp when he pointed at something on the poster. The black background a while ago changed and turned to a photo wherein the members of something I don’t know but involves Sir Ichigo on the side.

I squinted my eyes to see the name and my brows furrowed while reading it.

“Blackport PD?” My brows furrowed in confusion but Mica suddenly hugged me tighter and said joyous words as if hyperventilating on something.

“Oh gosh, that’s Blackport PD! S-Sir Ichigo is now part of them?” Nathan nodded as an answer that made her scream once more.

“What’s with that Blackport PD?” I asked. They looked at me in disbelief and Mica removed her grip from me.

“Come on, we tackled that discussion last year hays. By the way, Blackport PD is a police department for psychic and magical beings like us. Blackport PD is mainly composed of paranormal detectives and helps in solving crimes that normal human beings can’t.”

I nodded as the idea comes flashing to my mind but I just didn’t pay that much interest before. But looking at their excited faces, I’m sure this will be a big catch.

“So, are we going to join or not?” Nathan asked but the look on his face already knows our answer. He looked at all of us before saying the confirmation that made the poster burned to ashes as a sign of our approval.

“We are going to join Blackport PD and will be one of the best training squad ever!”
