Today was one hell of a day... let's cut to the chase.

From all the rage of yesterday night, I was almost high on adrenaline when I saw everyone in powers class looking at me weird. The final exam began- a tournament. The rules were cruel- to win, you have to make your opponent either verbally surrender or knock him out. I know plenty of people here who are more prone to the latter. In the first round, everyone was scrambled and matched up with a random student. Wouldn't you know, I went against Maxton first.

Everyone stared in anticipation when they saw Maxton and I stare each other down. I guess everyone knew about the journal, and about how he's the one who stole it... I saw Maxton summon up a tornado of sharp bullet-shaped pebbles and bright orange sparks right as the round was about to begin. Supposedly, since we were both ranged attackers, the battle was set to start as soon as one of us makes the first move. I was scared out of my mind. "He is going to KILL ME." I thought. But then, Maxton made a huge mistake. He said something about June... I don't remember exactly, but it was terrible. I was furious. I felt my skin get white-hot, and I could have sworn my eyes changed color. I abandoned my strategy of stalling him out and ran straight at him. Maxton rained down sharp rocks and sparks, but I ignored the pain and kept running. Before he could get his bearings, I jumped right in front of him, turned my fist to laser and punched him in the gut so hard I saw blood coming out of his mouth. The blast sent him flying right into the wall. When he crashed and the dust cleared, he was unconscious and seriously hurt. But the amount of force I had put into that attack... I felt like I was a god. It was getting hard to see, my heart was beating so quickly... but it felt good...

I sat in the bleachers away from everyone else while I saw the rest of the round play out. J' Blackstone easily dispatched Ricky. Two guys with ice powers ended up fist fighting for a solid fifteen minutes before someone yelled "GET IT OVER WITH!" One of the guys stopped to yell back, but his foe knocked him out while he was distracted. Lucy beat up Ebony, and then a few more uneventful battles broke out as I started to calm down. I started to wonder how that sheer amount of anger seemed to push me over that threshold. Is that how it's going to be, from now on? I fight the hardest when I'm angry? I don't want to live that kind of life...

The last fight of the first round really got everyone's attention. Bill (One of Maxton's lackeys), after talking a bunch of smack to Delsin, was promptly forced to the ground from just one kick. Before he could get up, Delsin tacked him, strangling his neck with one hand and summoning a butcher knife with the other, threatening to decapitate him. Bill set a school record... he surrendered only twelve seconds after the fight began.

On Monday we'll progress to rounds 2 and 3, then to the final the day after.
In that moment, there was only silence.

In round two I went up against a guy named Frank. I felt a little sick while fighting him, but it was fairly easy to shrug off. He wasn't very tough, after all. Lucy, again victorious, beat the snot out of the ice guy that took a cheap shot. Now that less people are left, tomorrow should harbor the rest of the matches.

I... I had to ask the doctor what today's date was. As it turns out, I've been unconscious since Tuesday- I've only recently woken up. Oh, god, Tuesday...

The last round was J' Blackstone versus myself. I had improved as a fighter since the beginning of the year, but everyone was still surprised when I made it all the way to the finals. But... when the fight started, my vision got seriously blurry when I tried to use my powers. It was like the power rush I got when fighting Maxton, but I felt like puking. I think I coughed up some blood back there, if memory serves me well. I didn't last very long. J didn't even attack me, he was just as confused as the rest of us. When they called for a stretcher, a bunch of vectors sprawled at it, ripping it to shreds. It wans't until just now that I realize... That was my power. Soon after, I passed out. Now I'm laying in a bed. Back to the hospital life, I suppose. Just my luck. The weird thing is, though, people don't just LOSE CONTROL over their powers. Mutations haven't been a problem for at least a century. I've been healthy this whole time. What's going on?

My hand is still aching from last Friday, when I punched Maxton. I'm still at the hospital, but the doctor just told me that I'm being taken into special care to investigate the incident from Tuesday. Unfortunately, they won't let me bring my journal, so I'll get back to this if... when I get back. I have no idea how long this is gonna take. It could be hours... for all I know, it could be years. I don't think I could last more than a few weeks away from my normal life, so it hopefully won't come to that. Where do I put this journal? Everyone at school already knows about it, so it's not like they're going after it again. I'll just have Dad put it on my desk until I come back from... uh, "Therapy".

See you soon.

Between pages 46 and 47, some white sheets of paper are stapled in between. The handwriting is much different from Ark's; it's much neater, and written in blue ballpoint pen rather than pencil.

I'm not angry at him. I really don't blame him, actually. Ark's been through a lot lately... He used to be so determined on finding that "Spirit World" the book described. I still think it exists, though, even if maybe he's given up on it.

I didn't know what to do or think when Ark's journal was stolen. Pretty much everyone was talking about it, and I began to feel some shame burning inside me, thinking about how terrible he must have felt. The next time he saw Maxton Neverrith, he just let loose all of the frustration that he'd been accumulating since we tried to conduct that summoning ritual.

Today, he was carried off after passing out during his match with Jarrin Blackstone. I don't understand what happened, but apparently he lost control of his powers and got really sick. I'm so worried about him...

I don't know what I would do if my own journal were to be stolen. I guess it's getting pretty full now, so people would see a lot of my more embarrassing writing back when I was eight. I get flushed just reading it myself, but tearing it out now would feel... sort of wrong. Also, I was actively writing here back when... you know. I really wish I could forget that. More so, I wish Ebony would stop reminding me.

Lunch was really awkward today, you could imagine. I guess it was just like the beginning of the school year, where it was just me reading a book in the corner. Jarrin and Lucy tried to talk to me about Ark, but I sort of pushed them away. I know they're worried too, but they really need to learn that reading is just my way of escaping. That, and writing, but you already know that by now. I've finished Psycho... it's really sad, actually. There were some parts that I just couldn't understand, though. Oh, what I wouldn't give to talk to the author for a few minutes...

Last night and just a few minutes ago, I tried calling Mr. Watson. I didn't receive an answer either time, though, which worries me. I guess it's only natural, seeing as his son is afflicted with a completely unidentified condition. I'd be worried too- in fact, I still am.

I asked Mr. Hendrick about what's involved when someone loses control of their power. He told me that since decades ago our technology in genetic manipulation has been nearly perfected, and the phenomenon hasn't happened once since. It seems amazing how rare such a thing now is, and yet that's all the more reason I'm scared for Ark. Nothing's scarier than a major problem with no solution.

Well, it's been about a week, now. An hour before writing this, I tried calling Mr. Watson again. He picked up and told me what the doctors told him. Apparently, after scanning his entire body through and through with multiple methods, they've found that, well... Nothing's wrong. According to them, Ark's actions were completely conscious, and it seems like he did all that on purpose. I don't believe any of it. That outburst WAS commanded by his brain... But what if something else was controlling the brain itself?

...Ugh, I doubt it. That was touched on in the history books and a bit in science class, a purely theoretical power to directly seize control of another person's mind, rather than body. Before the scientist Kaito Musushimi tested the possibility of the power's existence, he dubbed it "Central Control". A few weeks later, however, he came back with negative results. Central Control simply cannot exist.

I hear Ark will be back soon. I'll give it another week.

I got news that Ark will be back at school tomorrow! He just got back and it's likely he's still adjusting. I'm a little nervous about tomorrow, but I'm excited to see him again.

Well... Here I am, back in my room. My own bed, my own desk, notebook, and here's my journal. It feels great to be holding it again. As for what they found out after nine days of therapy... Well, not much. I did a few practices and I'm back to normal, though, so I'll be going back to school tomorrow.

As if I wasn't unpopular enough... Now I've got that incident from the other Tuesday to deal with. Great.

Nobody would look at me straight in the eye today, not even my teachers. All because of that stupid accident that I still don't have an explanation for. Did those doctors seriously think that I could just jump right back into school with no problems at all? Have any of them ever BEEN to a highschool? Ugh...

...Well, I can't totally complain. There was this one person who would talk to me.

Honestly, I don't know what I did to deserve June. She's the real reason I can keep my head on straight. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, I'm crazy in love with that girl.
