Cursed Blood | Chaelisa

Chapter 46.

After all the things I had been through, I wish I could just stay in bed and sleep for a million years. But this morning, I woke to the annoying voice of Jennie calling me.

"Chaeyoung, wake up!" She yelled. I rolled myself around and rubbed my eyes sleepily. The sunlight pierced through the curtains. Then I looked around the room, but I didn't see her.

"Hey, look up!" Jennie said.

And when I did, I let out a horrifying shriek.

"Oh my gosh, Jennie!" I screamed, bolting out of my bed. "What's happened to you?"

And in case you don't know, Jennie was floating high to the ceiling like some smug mystic. She lowered herself until she was face to face with me. Her body was still anchored horizontally in the air. Then she winked.

"Surprised much?" Jennie said and then zipped across the room like a fire rocket. My hair stood up, and I got goosebumps watching her levitating like that.

"Jennie, please stop and tell me what's going on?" I said.

"I know how to levitate with control now," Jennie said in a singsong tone.

"Really?"

"I was trying to meditate to free my mind from the earthbound energy, and it worked. Isn't it cool?"

"No, Jennie, it's creepy," I said. "Please don't go levitating like a ghost around the school."

Jennie rolled her eyes and descended back to the floor again.

"You have no imagination," she said.

So that was how my day started. Then when we got to Joy and Jisoo's place, Jisoo came running towards me with an excited smile. She was still her perky self like always.

"Chaeng! Check this out!" She said, holding her hands up to my face.

"What's that, Jisoo?" I asked in a skeptical tone. Joy was sitting on the bed. For some reason, she looked as crossed as when she got an A in Turkish and not an A+.

"Don't you see that?" Jisoo said, wriggling her fingers at me again. I frowned and took a closer look, but there was nothing wrong with her hands.

"You got manicured?" I guessed.

"No! I've got electricity!" She said, "I can turn electrons in my body into electricity! This is so cool!"

I shot a scolding glare at Jennie. She was the one to blame for making Jisoo delusional like this.

"Jisoo," I turned back to her. "I don't think you should continue this kinesis..."

But then she put her hands on my arms, and I felt a jolt of shock through my body.

"Whoa!" I winced, rubbing my arms in pain. It felt as if I just got stung by an electric eel.

"You feel that?" Jisoo asked, stepping back from me again and when I really focused on Jisoo's palms, I finally saw tiny pencil lines arching in blue color around her fingers, and it got even clearer for my eyes as they kept cracking and dancing frenziedly across her hands.

"No way," I muttered in disbelief.

"Every time I think of electricity, it just sparks!" Jisoo told me and then turned to Jennie. "I did it, Jennie! Thank you!"

Then she threw herself at the girl, making Jennie stumble back a little. Could it be that the life-saving sex they had last night had triggered something? Joy and I stared at Jennie who was still holding Jisoo in her arms with a proud smile.
