Snippet #949245

Aiden stared blankly at the kid before him, waiting for a reply ...

".....Well, this is my friend Blake, we've been best friends since preschool and he is helping me with some of my studies. Feel free to make yourself at home, as I'm assuming this is your assigned dorm room... if not then I would appreciate it if you would leave." Aiden explained, before brushing past the kid and making his way through the castle's many corridors again. He made his way to one corridor specifically, noticeable by the large carriage wheel chandelier; there were a couple physics classrooms in here, as he remembered it. He looked around to make sure the hallway was empty; it was. He began walking slowly down hallway, pressed up against the wall. Each painting he passed, he felt over the title plaques underneath them and knocked slightly. "Where is it? It's around here somewhere.." he muttered to himself. "Ah hah.." he had found what he was looking for, a plaque with a hollow sound when he knocked on it. He pressed hard on the plaque and it depressed into the wall, opening up a small secret passage. He made his way inside and then turned a torch on the wall inside the dark, stone hallway he was now in, causing the passage to close up.

He made his way through the claustrophobic corridor. There was faint sounds of water dripping all around. Finally, he saw a light shining in from the wall. He made his way over to the window, which was actually a one-way viewing mirror in the hospital wing. He noticed two kids laying seemingly unconscious on adjacent beds. "Wow.. people are already getting themselves into trouble? How stupid can you be?" he exclaimed to himself, before noticing Mr. Drake exiting the wing after having said a few undeterminable words to the students. Aiden swiftly made his way to the end of the passage so he could intercept him.

He jumped out of the passage's other end, which was in the corridor right in front of the hospital wing. "Good day, Mr. Drake." he exclaimed, smiling brightly.

"Good day, Aiden. It's a pleasure to see you, it's been quite a while."

"That it has .. " Aiden replied, only half listening. "Hey, those two kids in there.. what's up with them?" he asked curiously.

"Oh, that's private business, I'm afraid. None of your concern, although I know you mean no harm in asking. It's just a school rule, my apologies.." Mr. Drake replied.

Aiden looked him straight in the eyes. "Tell me their powers."

The same glazed over look consumed Mr. Drake's face. "Fay has wings. She can fly, but she is still learning. Guire can manipulate electricity. He has yet to have mastered his powers." he explained in monotone.

"Hmm.. an electrokinetic huh? That could be useful..." Aiden pondered, rubbing his chin. "Leave." he demanded, and Mr. Drake swiftly made his way down the hallway, the zombie-like expression fading from his face after he got a certain distance away.

"W-what.. what just happened?" he asked himself before shaking his head and continuing on his way.
