Clan Fighters by Kaitlyn Garlets (dark academia books to read .txt) 📖

know: distant and shy and quiet. That wasn't him either, and he thought that she had changed?
Evernime put a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "Its going to be fine. William and I can teach you how to protect yourself from them."
"I don't really need to know I don't think. I have killed two Skincrawlers and an old woman," Reece said, looking at the bottles of different alcohol.
"No shit?" William asked, not believing her.
"Yeah, its true. The first one I killed I was in a hotel sleeping when I woke up to see a Skincrawler at my door and I tried to get out the window and long story short, I killed him when we reached the ground. The second one I killed was trying to get me to tell him where my really parents where. I was next to a tree, so I grabbed a large branch and I yanked it off the tree and stabbed him with it. Then the old lady was crazy because she thought she was the one from the prophecy, not me. She thought I was taking her place, but I wasn't. I accidentally killed her. She was the one who told me that I was who I am. I trusted her, and she lied to me and betrayed me. Then I met Griffen in an old shack on the outskirts of my town," Reece said.
Evernime gasped, making Reece and William look at her.
"What is it?" William asked.
"I read Reece's mind and saw everything. She isn't lying when she said that she's killed them. How is that even possible to cast wind, fire and lightening at the same time?"
"It just is. I guess I really am the girl from the prophecy. But I wish my brother wasn't dead," Reece said, hoping her would appear in front of her, but he didn't.
"Your brother is dead?" Evernime and William asked at the same time.
"Yeah," Reece said, nodding as she lowered her head, holding back another round of tears. "Skincrawlers killed him. But that's okay, because I can talk to him."
"You are a Necromancer?" Evernime asked, shocked.
"Yeah, I am. I haven't talked to any other ghosts but my brother," Reece replied.
"This is worse then I thought, but then again, it isn't. The prophecy states that there will be two leaders, a girl and a boy. They never said that they had to be related. But then again, they also said 'a brother of another'. So it might be someone else's brother that is the other half. So we just have to find him. But there is another breed of Skincrawlers called Clan Fighters because they believe that they can fight off the other clans and rule after they do. But if we find the other one to the prophecy, then we might be able to stop them," Evernime said excitedly.
"Might?" Reece asked, sighing. "I might be able to stop them? What if I don't?"
She shrugged. "Look, Reece. You have so much in you that you don't even know you have. You have powers beyond anything possible. When I walked in here, I saw you levitating that vodka. Normal people cannot do that."
"So your saying that I have telekinesis?" Reece asked.
"Yes, I think you do. You would not have been able to do that unless you did. I think it is amazing," Evernime said.
Reece smiled weakly. "Why does my powers pop out of nowhere?"
"We think its because of the energy waves in a certain area. If there is more, than your powers come faster, stronger, easier. But if there is less..."
"Then its slower and not as easy?" Reece finished her sentence.
"Yes, that is exactly it," William said.
"So, do you guys know anything about my parents?" Reece asked. "Or anything that can help me?"
"Well," Evernime said, looking at William with a concerned look on her face. "We know a lot about your real parents, but your not going to like it. Mostly everything that you think you know is wrong. For one, your brother, Brian, he did die, but he crossed over. He isn't even related to you. When you were born, you were sent to the place that you know of now and protected by your fake parents and brother."
"Then who have I been talking to? I mean, he comes to see me all the time and he told me-" Reece stopped when Evernime put her hand up.
"You were deceived, Reece. Nothing in your life is the right answer for you," Evernime said, sighing. She couldn't believe that Reece actually believed everything that she heard and told. Evernime just had to touch Reece on the hand or the shoulder, and she knew everything she needed to know to set Reece straight. And Evernime didn't think that Reece would like what she was going to tell her about her real parents. She had once met Reece's parents, but at the time, she was very young and didn't know who they were.
"What do you mean?" Reece asked, confused. "So, my brother isn't even related to me like my parents aren't? Has my whole life been a lie, then?" she scoffed as she thought about how she always thought she was her parents' daughter or her brother's sister.
"I am sorry, Reece. But I know everything about you. I know everything about everyone or anything. I can't help it, and you need to know the truth."
"We are sorry, Reece. About everything," William said, putting a hand on her shoulder for comfort.
"I know you are. Its really weird, though. I hardly know any of you guys and Griffen was right about me acting like someone from another place. I don't usually act like this. What's happening to me?" Reece asked, looking up at them.
"When you first get your powers, they start to take over and you act differently. It happened to me and it surely happened to Griffen. We've known him a long while. We are all changing in a way. But that doesn't always happen," Evernime said.
"So, my powers take over me?" Reece asked in horror.
"Yes, they are. But once you start to control them, then you'll be just fine. I think yours are starting to take you over, but I cannot be too sure. Mine started after I got my second ability."
Reece looked over at her new friends and frowned. "I want to know everything. Start with my really parents and who they are," she said, reaching in her pocket and pulled out the picture of them and handed it to Evernime. "This is a picture of my real parents."
"This is not your parents. Did you happen to find this in a window sill?" Evernime said as she felt the picture.
"Yes, how did you know?" Reece asked.
"I can feel who put it there. Your fake father put it there."
"Why would he do that if these are not my real parents?" Reece asked, really confused. None of this made any sense.
"Your fake parents and brother, they wanted you to not find your real parents. So they plotted this whole thing and now you are on a wild goose chase over nothing. Your real parents don't even want to know who you are."
"Why? I thought that my real parents would want to meet me," Reece asked.
"No, they don't. They are too afraid of what might happen if the prophecy was to come true," Evernime replied, sighing, wishing that Reece would understand.
"How do you know all of this? What if your wrong?" Reece asked.
"I am never wrong. I told you when we first met. I can hear people's thoughts. And if I was to touch someone, I see the truth about everything in their lives. I can see everything that they don't want me to see," Evernime said.
"She never lies, Reece. You need to believe her about everything she tells you," William said.
Reece nodded. "I do, but nothing she says makes any sense."
"If I told you from the start, would it make more sense to you?" Evernime asked, sitting down next to Reece in one of the bar stools.
Again, she nodded, looking down at her reflection on the counter top.
"Alright then. I will start from the beginning..."


Griffen didn't even know who Reece is anymore. He knew that her powers were taking over her, but he couldn't do anything about it either. He had to do something about it, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't know what her powers would do to her considering how she has so many powers and it probably wouldn't be the last one she gets.
He shouldn't have stopped in front of the door when Reece had said what she had said. He didn't know what had made her say that, but something told him that she has feelings for him but not enough. But he had stopped to listen to what she said, and he had left anyways. He should have stayed. He should have grabbed her and never let go, but he had, and he didn't want to go back now because he didn't want to look like a fool. He has known William and Evernime for a long time, and when he had said that they had changed, he meant it. He didn't even know Reece because she was acting like she always knew them, when she had just met them. She didn't know anything about them.
But then again, she might have thought that since Griffen trusted them, that she should too. Griffen knew that Reece trusted him completely. So maybe since he brought her here to Las Vegas to meet Evernime and William, then she should just trust them like he did.
That's what Griffen kept telling himself, anyways.
He really didn't know what Reece was thinking. Griffen knew that he was stupid for bringing Reece here to meet them. He knew that he might lose Reece when Evernime sent him a telepathic message to his mind, telling him that she knew he loved Reece and that if he didn't do something about it, William would take his place.
She also said that there was a chance that Griffen and Reece would end up together, but he needed to do something about it, or he would lose her to William. He couldn't stand to think about William kissing her and holding her at night, Reece mumbling his name in her sleep. He just couldn't.
When Evernime sent the telepathic message, he lost it, and left. He was stupid because now he knew he would lose Reece to William.


Monika looked at her husband. "Honey, what are you doing?"
Creon looked at his wife and smiled to her. "I am pacing, what does it look like I am doing?"
"I know what you are doing, but what I really want to know is what are you thinking about?" She asked, smiling back at him.
"I got a call from my boss. Our plan has to change. But I don't know what to do about that. You have any ideas?" Creon asked, kissing Monika on the lips.
"We really can't do anything about it with the baby coming," Monika said, setting her hand on her stomach where a little boy or girl was. "What did our boss want us to do?"
"Well, he told me that Reece and her friend Griffen were finding out things that they shouldn't be finding out. So now we have to drop our plan and totally forget it. We can just go and attack her before she fully develops. Because if she does, then we are going to die."
"I don't understand, Creon."
"What do you not understand?" Creon asked, frowning.
