Chapter Two: Mortem
Lady Rafa rushed me to Dame Leia's office. For once, her phony smile had been wiped off of her face. She was pale and quakey, beads of sweat trickling down her temple.
"What happened back there? What's going on?" I asked, terrified. Lady Rafa stopped walking.
"Miss Veena, what happened back there wasn't a coincidence. Those verminions didn't drop dead of their own accord. you killed them." her voice was shaky and cracked on every other word.
"What? How? I didn't attack them or anything!" I whispered, panicking. I was beginning to get freaked out, and the way she was so quiet wasn't helping.
"You, Dura, are what we call a... Mortier. It means if provoked, you can kill. It is an extremely rare ability, and as you can probably guess extremely dangerous. So far, we have only had one in existence besides you." She murmured it quietly, barely at all.
"who's the other one? The other Mortier?" I asked, both horrified and curious.
"They work in Mysterium. Her name is Anta Quor." She whispered. She continued to drag me down the hall, straight to Dame Leia's office.
--------------------------------------
"Are you sure she did it?" Dame Leia asked, looking thoroughly concerned at this point.
"for the umpteenth time, yes. It was the same thing I saw with Anta." Lady Rafa mutted, terrified.
"Well. It's too dangerous. Foxfire will be evacuated immediately." She said, worry tracing through her voice.
"Why? It's not like I've killed anyone." I asked, curious.
"When Mortier's manifest, they become dangerously erratic. You may harm people without knowing, and it can become extremely dangerous. You will need to distance yourself from all people for the next month." Dame Leia explained.
"How can I control it?" I ask.
"I will ask Quor to train you. You will eventually be able to control the ability and we may be able to find a way to damper the ability." Lady Rafa said.
"But until then?" I ask.
Dame Leia replied from the corner, her voice was quavery and dark.
"Until you can fully and completely control the ability, you must be quarantined from everyone. Or you may kill them all."
Hope you liked it!
