“Good evening, students. This is Alpha Jonathan. I know you’re not used to hearing me on the intercom, but Headmaster Prescott is a little busy right now. Unfortunately, with new facts and evidence we are reopening the murder cases and I’m enforcing another lockdown until further notice. But the good news you will not be missing out on any classes. I have purchased enough laptops for every student at this school and starting Wednesday you will be doing online courses until this lockdown is over. We are hoping by next week you will be back to in-person classes. Only authorized officials will be allowed to roam the campus and if any students for whatever reason need to leave their dormitories, I ask that the dorm advisors make sure that a ga mma warrior accompanies them. As we know more information, we will update you. Until then, I thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.”

As Alpha Jonathan’s voice faded away, leaving the cr ackling of the speakers, the entire campus had fallen silent. Rachel and I still stood outside staring up at the sky as if the voice came from the heavens above.

I knew this lockdown was approaching, but it didn’t make this announcement any less hard to hear.

“Get to your dorms,” I heard the gruff sounds of a ga mma warrior saying as he walked outside of the student lounge. “Nobody should be outside right now. You heard the Alpha. Let’s go.”

He motioned for us to go with him to the dorms.

I glanced at Rachel who looked pale but neither of us argued with the warrior. We went directly to the dorm and once we got into the living quarters of our section, a bunch of other girls were scrambling around in a panic.

Some were curled up on the couch and crying.

Eileen Carter was trying her best to calm everyone down, but to no prevail.

She looked stressed too.

I walked over to her, leaving Rachel’s side.

“Can I help?” I asked, peering at Miss Carter with a compassionate gaze.

She sighed and nodded.

“I just need them to relax,” she said, sounding just as exhausted as she looked.

I nodded in understanding and closed my eyes. I wasn’t used to this ability yet; I hadn’t practiced with it often. But I knew I could manipulate their minds and spread my own aura to those around me. I’ve never tried to do this at the same time though.

I imagined each student in this dormitory to calm down and relax. I imagined that they stopped crying and felt at ease. My bright aura shined even brighter and expanded from my body to touch each of them.

Without opening my eyes, I knew it was working. Their crying seemed to have lessened, and I heard some sighing in relief as their bodies relaxed.
