Chapitre 46: Reconciliation
'Why aren't they here yet?' thought Luke in annoyance.
He was currently on the rooftop waiting for Xavier and Ajax. For some unknown reason, they had summoned him here. Since he had nothing to do and had gotten into a fight with Enid he decided to come.
Luke leaned against the railing and surveyed the Nevermore landscape. It had been over seven months since he had arrived here. They had tried to murder him twice, but it was a better place than he had originally thought.
He already knew who his assassin was. Luke wanted to know beforehand how Sabrina would try to assassinate him, but he still couldn't practically read minds. So, he had to keep training on his blue aura. Also before reading Sabrina's mind he must take her somewhere alone and knock her out. Then, he will have to create new memories and erase the others. It is a very complex issue.
'I wonder what Enid is doing,' Luke thought. This feeling of homesickness didn't please him, but he couldn't control it. He never thought that someone so lonely could get to miss a person.
Just, then the door opened. Luke turned around. He thought he would meet the silhouette of his two friends, but he did not.
The person who walked in was Enid. The person he was thinking about just seconds ago.
Enid was surprised to see Luke. She quickly turned and wanted to open the door again to escape, but it had been locked.
"Open up, Yoko!" said Enid, making more force in her grip about to break the lock.
"Don't break school property or the principal will punish you," said Yoko from the other side with a mischievous smile.
Enid hearing this stopped her strength. It would be bad to break the door. She doesn't want to be punished.
"Luke, fix your problems with your girlfriend!" exclaimed Xavier from the other side of the door.
"See you, Luke! We'll play a game later," said Ajax, who was also on the other side along with Xavier, Yoko, and Divina.
'These guys...' thought Luke with a frown and approached the door. He heard the footsteps of the others leaving the place. He was trapped next to Enid. Although he could open the door with his current telekinesis, he would play dumb.
"Should I break the lock?" asked Luke, playing dumb as if he couldn't open the door without breaking the lock.
"No. It's bad to break school property," said Enid, walking away from Luke and sitting on the floor against a wall.
Luke followed her and sat at a distance neither near, nor far.
"What do you want?" asked Enid, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
"Didn't you hear them? They seem to want us to get fixed up. That way they'll open the door for us," replied Luke.
"Sooner or later, they'll open it for us," said Enid as if she didn't care.
"Do you want to stand here for hours in silence?" asked Luke with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't care," replied Enid dryly. However in reality she did want to be here for hours, since she would be with Luke, and it had been a long time (only a week) since they had been together.
"You sure are stubborn," Luke commented.
"You're more so," said Enid.
"No, you surpass me."
"I doubt it. I've never seen you accept a mistake of yours," Enid said, and Luke frowned.
It might not be that far from the truth. As for Enid's mother's case, it could be that he was a little over the top with the jokes. Especially when Enid before parent's day had told him what her mother was like.
He could have tried to be a little more respectful and kept the jokes to himself.
This he had noticed, and in a normal case he would have approached Enid apologizing, although this does not detract from the fact that it would have been a very difficult task for Luke, as his pride is too high.
He did not do it for another reason. The Spellmans. The Spellman's daughter tried to murder him at school. In the future Enid could become another target to kill as she is his girlfriend.
These days he is debating whether or not to end his relationship with Enid. That way, he would make her safe for the future. His father became his mother Sophie's boyfriend at Nevermore.
Sophie died because of the Spellmans. Not only that. The Umbrio family did not accept that Sophie was with John, as they knew of the grudge between the Poe family, and the Spellman family.
They didn't want to get involved, and even more so when their daughter was joining the losing side. He doesn't know if Enid's family will be aware of this, but as soon as they find out the same story will be repeated.
"I'm sorry," said Luke after thinking about all these things.
"What did you say?" asked Enid in surprise, looking at Luke for the first time. She had heard it clearly but wanted to hear it again.
"Don't make me repeat myself," Luke replied. It was the first time he had ever apologized honestly in his life.
"Come on, please. I didn't get to hear," insisted Enid, moving closer to Luke, who turned to look at her. After many days, he could see her face so close to him again.
"I said I'm sorry," repeated Luke, looking at Enid.
"Apology accepted," said Enid with a bright smile.
"I'm sorry too. For the last thing I said. I didn't mean what you thought," Enid added worriedly.
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry," Luke said, kissing Enid suddenly. It had been a long time since he had felt her lips.
Enid was surprised by the sudden kiss. She closed her eyes forgetting the stupid argument she had with Luke, and enjoyed the moment.
After a few seconds, Luke pulled away from Enid and opened his eyes, "Why did you stop?" asked Enid, dissatisfied. It had been a long time since she had kissed Luke.
"I have to tell you something..." said Luke.
"Oh, what is it?" asked Enid, curious.
Luke told her that he possessed a blue aura. That is to say that he had mental powers like telepathy.
To create a telepathic link with her. They would be able to communicate all the time, and if Enid needed help with anything, he would know right away, as Enid would be able to ask him for help almost instantly.
During this time that he trained his blue aura, he got his mental link to have a new function. In addition to allowing mental communication, one is aware of the existence of the other. If the connection disappears it means that the person is unconscious or dead.
In this way, he will be able to protect Enid in case something happens. He will be selfish and will not take the path of separation.
"Double aura! That's fantastic!" said Enid with great enthusiasm and a big smile.
"You're not angry?" asked Luke, as he hid it from her for many months.
"Not at all. I'm just happy you told me your secret. I'm the first, right?" said Enid, giving for the fact that she was the first person to know that Luke had two auras.
"Well..." said Luke as he told her that Veronica was the first person to find out.
He explained to her the reason for this. He needed Veronica's help as she had the books he needed to train his blue aura. Also, the Umbrio family specialized in that aura.
Enid was not angry about this. She understood Luke's point and wasn't planning to start another stupid argument.
"Create a link with me. We can talk anytime and instantly! Much faster than a cell phone and without anyone knowing. Even in class!" said Enid with great enthusiasm.
'I did the right thing, didn't I?' thought Luke, creating a telepathic link with Enid.
Minutes passed as Luke and Enid conversed telepathically. Enid talked more than usual and had a lot of things to tell Luke since they hadn't spoken in days.
However, Luke didn't mind. He listened carefully to Enid and looked at her big smile. It was a nice feeling.
...
"Damn! I forgot about those two," Yoko said as she hurried up the stairs. Behind her followed Divina, Xavier, and Ajax.
"Weirdly, the door is still in condition," commented Ajax. With Luke's telekinesis and his temper, he could have broken the door if he wanted to escape or even picked the lock without breaking it, though he didn't know if Luke could do this.
"That's a good sign," said Xavier.
They opened the door and stepped onto the balcony. On one wall sitting were Luke and Enid kissing.
"Oh... We came at a bad time," said Yoko with a slight smile, and Divina chuckled under her breath.
"Looks like our efforts did the trick," commented Xavier with a smile.
'Damn, I didn't hear the door open,' thought Luke sheepishly, looking at the three people who had just arrived. Enid also looked at them with a blush on her cheeks.
"Go on about your business. Luke, buy us something in the cafeteria tomorrow," Ajax said as they walked off the roof with the others.
