Thoughts, "Dialogue", Vvpjlz

When we first started gathering information of people of the school I thought that it would take months, but it didn't take as long as I thought it would. To begin with, we could ignore everyone with green eyes because Claire has green eyes, we also only need to focus on people with blue and red eyes. As that is the colors Claire said she saw when we asked, the fact that she didn't see it turn grey yet means we could disregard anyone with grey eyes for now. This means that roughly 25% of the people at the school are already crossed out of the list of people we need to look to keep an eye on. Most of the information we have already gathered is of pretty well-known people of the school, mostly because it is easier to find information on people who are well known compared to people who no one knows. 

"Kiriana Le, a second-year student of  D.S.O.M.T who excels in different kinds of arts. She is most known for getting second place in the national school's art showcase. She is best known for her realistic work of art which can easily be mistaken for photographs. She is average in every subject except for art and science which she struggles with. Well-liked among her peers, she has even been asked out on multiple occasions, she has denied any advancements saying that she wants to focus on school for now." I finished reading out the information I had gathered by doing some basic stretches.

"I basically have the same information you have, except for some small things. From what I can gather her dad works an office job which even thought pays very well, it results in him having to go to work early in the mourning and coming home pretty late in the evening. Also, Kiriana claims that her mother is an artist that travels a lot and that her mother is the reason why she wants to do art in the future. However, no one who knows this fact knows who her mother is or knows anything about the art her mother does. Some have theorized that her mother is dead, and Kiriana's love of art stems from the fact that her mother might have done some art for her when she was alive. And when she says she is alive she is just pretending so she doesn't have to face the fact that she won't be able to see her again. However there is very little evidence that supports this theory, and no one is bold or insensitive enough to approach her about it." Alex finished a bottle of water in 3 big gulps before continuing, "There were other things that I managed to find, however, I didn't bother writing them down or remembering them as they were just lies."

"Got it, so did you find anything that might hint that Kiriana might do any harm if she learns too much about the hidden world?"

"No, I didn't, everything I can get about her all points to her being well-liked and very nice. If anything she will do more good than harm, she definitely wouldn't her powers. However, you have to remember that power can corrupt people so we won't know how she will truly act if presented with more power until after she gains it. The same goes for Claire, and the other of Iris's chosen."

"Yea I got it, you already told me this before we left for the mission."

"Yes I know but I'm just reminding yo-."

I cut him off before he can finish his sentence, "and let me remind you that it is not only our job to find and recruit the chosens but to also guide them so that they won't abuse the powers they will gain."

-Sigh- "Yea, yea I know."

"Good, well what we need to do now is figure out who blue might be."

"Kiriana definitely knows who it is, so let's look at the people who she hangs out with who have blue eyes and might want to stay hidden if they know about us." We spent the next hour looking through the info we gathered looking for anyone who has blue eyes and who has been hanging with Kiriana recently. However, when we took a closer look at the suspects. We found that most of them are not very likely to be blue as lots of them are part of a sports team. After talking with Claire we found out that blue was at D.S.O.M.T when the games should have been taking place at other schools. So, in the end, we only managed to cross most of Kiriana's friends from our list of suspects. 

-Yawn- "Let's end it for today, we still have plenty of time to find blue, also grey still hasn't been chosen yet. So we're not in any rush to find blue anytime soon." (Sofia)

"No, we are so close I can feel it. We are just missing one small detail and we will be able to figure out who blue might be."

"I know that your in a rush to find the rest of Iris's chosen but rushing it won't do us any good. The last thing we want is to make a mistake and scare away the other chosens. You also have to keep in mind that blue knows that we are looking for them and that they are actively trying to avoid us. So rushing headfirst into finding them might make it more difficult to recruit them in the end."

-Sigh- "Fine, let's end it for today." We both set aside the piles of notes we have and got ready for bed. When I finished I lied in bed getting comfy in the blue blankets.

"Goodnight," I whispered with a soft smile, as I closed my eyes.

"Night." Was all I heard before I fell asleep.

I was lying in bed trying to finish the chapter which I wasn't able to finish for the last couple of days. I usually don't have this much trouble when it comes to reading. Usually, books that take others a month to finish I could finish it within half the time. It isn't because I got bored with the book I'm currently reading. I have been enjoying it quite a bit and I wanted to find out what happens next this whole time. It's just that I couldn't concentrate on the story because my mind has been in other places lately.

It's hard to concentrate on my book when I had to continually worry about the two people who have been snooping around at my school lately. I had to try my hardest with trying to not stand out while trying to make my actions seem normal enough so no one would find anything weird with my behavior. This makes it hard for me to focus on my book, which means lately the only time I was able to get any decent reading done is at home. 

Even though I finished all my homework which means I can focus all my attention on the book in front of me. I just couldn't stop thinking about what Kiriana had told me moments ago. She said that she already made contact with the "cloaked" figures and talked things out with them. She told me everything they talked about and that she kept the fact that I one of " Iris's chosen" a secret. Even though I couldn't understand most of the things she told me I managed to get the basic gist of what they talked about. 

Even after she said that everything will be fine, I just couldn't help but feel like something isn't quite right. To begin with, the fact that she said that only the women talked the whole time seems quite weird to me. "They said that they are here to recruit us, but why would they need two people to do that if only one would do all the talking?  Is the man a guard who protects the women if they come across any danger? No that can't be it, he doesn't strong enough to be a guard or anything like that. Well, looks can be deceiving, and with everything going on I bet there are plenty of ways to fight with these weird abilities people seem to have." I shook my head trying to stop myself from going too far from the main point I need to focus on.

"I think that it's safe to assume that they also have powers too. So if they are here to recruit us that means at least one of them should have an ability that helps with recruiting people. Which could either be a power that helps with convincing people or a power which helps with information gathering? The women must have power with convincing people as she did all the talking, what could it be? I can't be sure with the limited info I have. The man should have an ability for information gathering,  I doubt its anything too strong like mind reading because if it was they would have found us along time ago. 

-Yawn- I glance at the alarm clock next to my bed, seeing that it's already it past 3 o'clock, I couldn't help but sigh."I guess it's getting pretty late even for me. I still have to wake up at 6, well I guess I should get to bed, I can figure out what I should do tomorrow mourning." I muttered to myself as I place the book I tired too read down next to my alarm clock, I then covered myself with my black blanket. I took one last look at the eye outside my window. The last thing I saw before I was dragged into the world of dreams was an eye with red iris looking around, I couldn't help but sigh at the sight as I closed my eyes.

I Hope people have been enjoying the story so far. I have plenty of ideas on how I want to continue this story, but I don't know if people have been enjoying the story so far. So I would really appreciate it if people tell me in the comments about how you feel about the story so far. Any feedback is welcomed so feel free to tell me how you feel.

 

Not part of the test. Should I rewrite the first couple of chapters?
