Layla had grown up her whole life reading fantasy stories and comics about all sorts of things. Before the whole war started, her father used to work as a writer, so her home was filled with books and stories and her favourite ones were always about vampires.
She loved everything about them, how they had to keep their identity secret to the world, the super-strength they had, the super speed and the fact that they could live on nearly forever.
When Abilities were realised to the world, it made fantasy stories a thing of the past. Many people read stories because they were that, fantasy. It allowed them to imagine doing something that they could never do but now that humans actually had special powers, what was the point?
However, the love for Vampires never died down for Layla, it only grew. If abilities exited then that meant somewhere out their maybe vampires did too. When she saw Quinn’s actions, she had already convinced herself that he was a vampire.
Quinn was right when he thought a normal person wouldn’t have come to the same conclusion but that’s was because Layla wasn’t a normal person.
Layla then suddenly got out of her seat and started to bow down to Quinn on her knees. The students in the room although couldn’t hear their conversation, couldn’t help but look at them.
"Please, I’ll do anything for you," Layla said.
"Alright, I understand please get up," Quinn said.
The two of them sat down at their seats again, before Quinn started to speak, he let out a big sigh, thinking about how he was going to explain this to her.
"It’s not what you think," Quinn said, "I’m not a vampire, I became like this from an Ability book."
Suddenly the smile on Layal’s face disappeared.
"You know what that means right?" Quinn asked.
Layla nodded. Quinn was basically telling her it was impossible for him to give her this ability. The reason was a human body could only activate one ability. When learning an ability, it mutated the genes inside of your body but once your genes had been mutated, they could no longer change or add a second mutation.
Because Layla already had the ability of telekinesis, it meant Layla was unable to learn a second ability.
"Then why did you hide this from the academy, why did you tell them you had no ability. If you got this from an ability book you can’t be an original?"
"Have you ever heard of an ability like this?" Quinn asked.
