Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 69

69-The Deceitful Act*

I was now walking after Thiago, hoping I don’t get to see Mr. Tripper, who was supposed to arrive back after a few days’ break. Or should I say, after he lied to the principal about how special he was?

Thankfully, we weren’t bothered and soon we were in Thiago’s car and headed to my pack. My heart was doing all sorts of flips inside my chest. It wasn’t going to be easy for me to be in my pack and steal those files. We have decided to take pictures of the files if we have time so that nobody can suspect what files were stolen.

“I know you are nervous but don’t be. You are blessed with powers that can save you from doomsday,” he acknowledged my strength and power and it was truly the best thing ever.

I was still not used to hearing I am powerful. It felt like a dream to me. How can I be powerful out of so many people in the world?

“Okay! So you remember what we will do right?” he asked and I nodded my head, “Walk me through it again,” he said as he parked the car a little far away from the border.

This would be the sixth time that I was repeating the plan he had set out for me.

“I will distract the guards by causing damage to the tree over there and once they are out of our way, we will sneak in. I will umm— I will freeze the cameras and then burst the light out. After it all happens, we will hide behind the big table on the side outside the lockers. We will wait until my father leaves and then we will sneak in and lock ourselves inside While you take pictures of the files, I will cause a little shaky-I mean earthquake to the building. The moment you are done taking the pictures of the files, we will head out,” I finished and now it made me realize how messy the plan could be

What if we get caught?

We had too many obstacles and we were relying a lot on my powers that I didn’t even have any control of.

“Don’t worry! Everything will go fine,” he reassured me before getting out of the car. I followed after him and stared at the sky getting filled with dark red clouds. It looked velvety and scary.

Once we were hiding in the bushes, he held my hand to comfort me and prepare me for this act.

The only issue was that I still didn’t feel anything from his touch.

“Are you okay?” he asked once he noticed how silent I was. I had to shake my head and not drown in my thoughts to assure him I was fine. I was just a little concerned about my disappearing powers.

What if suddenly my powers disappear and I am stuck in that vault?

I was maybe stressing myself out too much because I haven’t done anything like that before.

“Okay! Now focus on that tree,” Thiago whispered in my ear, hunching over me from the back. I fixated my eyes on the tree and then confirmed my focus.

We can do this,’ Nia whispered too. I had my eyes only watching the tree and slowly, it felt like everything else started to disappear from the surroundings.

I was holding my breath in and channeling my anger. First, the smoke started to come out of that tree and my heart ached for the poor tree instantly.

It was an old tree hence I choose it but it still hurt me to burn it down.

Once the smoke spread around, the guards started to notice it. Very soon, the tree caught on fire. The commotion gathered the guards around the tree, giving us enough time to run past the border and make it inside the pack.
