Trouble with a capital T

"Hey, you two, didn't I tell you not to cause any trouble," Sabro said as he came up behind Alina and Brenda, who argued with a new guy that began coming three weeks ago. Sabro had looked into him when he started to show up at the races that he organized. His name was Mino Wilhelm.

Mino is the half-brother of one of the most well-known supporters of Voca. As far as anybody knew, Mino's brother Sebastian is loyal to Voca's. His family fights against him to have peace. Mino is a handsome guy with short dark hair that hugs his skull, light chocolate skin, and piercing green eyes that would captivate any woman's heart.

"You know we never go looking for it," Brenda said, turning around to look at Sabro.

"Yeah, it always finds us," Alina said, looking up at him, acknowledging his presence but turning back to look at Mino. Brenda and Sabro have been teaching Alina how to use her powers or the basic ones. Alina had been a quick study and picked up everything with no difficulty at all. The only thing that they couldn't teach her was how to deal with her true power, which had developed in the three years that she had been sleeping but not been properly trained since they were attacked.

Over the last three years, Alina had been learning the basics of using magic as well as experimenting with her own powers. Although she didn't really know much about her power with Sabro's and Brenda's help, she has explored her new powers. The first time she had mentioned it to Brenda, she had gone and told Sabro. That night both of them had gone to her room and talked to her.

Alina had tried to figure out why Brenda had been shocked and worried when she had told her about the flow of energy that she could see. Now Alina was sitting in front of both of them, feeling anxious about what was to come.

"Brenda told about the flow of energy that you can see?" Sabro said. Alina nodded her head and waited for Sabro to continue. "Do you remember when you started to see this?"

Alina took a minute and changed her position in her chair before she answered, "Well, at first, I didn't know what I was seeing. I could just feel and see the energy, whether it was good or bad. That's how I ended up finding you guys."

Brenda and Sabro gave each other a look, "What do you mean that's how you found us?" Brenda asked as they both looked back at Alina.

"While I was walking, I didn't know where I was going, but then this stream of light appeared and started to call to me," Alina said, looking for a way to explain what she had felt. "It was urging me to follow it and warning me about the dark energy that was behind me and the dangers that were on the way to you guys."

"Do you remember any of what had happened to you before you started to fallow the light?" Sabro asked as he moved forward in his chair.

"I only remember the light and walking until I found you. Before that, everything is darkness." Alina said nervously, twisting her hands together.

Brenda notices her anxious movements and motion toward Sabro. When Sabro looked over at Alina's hands, a small ball of energy was starting to take shape. "Alina, are you feeling okay?" Sabro asked her as he and Brenda kept an eye on her hands.

"Yeah, why?" Alina asked without stopping her movements.

"It's okay if you cannot remember. You are still welcome in our home as long as you want to stay." Sabro said, moving over to pat her shoulder. Brenda that was still keeping an eye on her hands, notice that as soon as Alina started to relax, the energy ball that was accumulating on her hands started to diminish.

"Thanks, Sabro," Alina said as she rested her hands on her laps.

"We will leave now and let you sleep." Sabro said moving away from her chair and heading toward the door Brenda behind him, "See you tomorrow Ali." Brenda said giving her a smile.

When Brenda and Sabro left her room Alina got up and head to her head and passed out.

"What are we going to do?" Brenda asked as soon as they were away from Alina's room. They knew that she was half vampire but she had not shown any of their abilities.

"We just have to keep an eye on her and develop her basic skill so that she is prepared for what is going to come her way later," Sabro said. Brenda nodded in agreement and they were both off to their room to get a goodnight's sleep they were going to have to be on alert and be in their best shape to help Alina catch up and master her powers before trouble headed their way.
