stronger than him. I trained with my element more than he did.
    "Sure you were." I smirked. "Now tell me what I want to know."
    "Isolate her from people for a while. Don't let her touch carriers at all." Quinn's face was deadly serious, which meant that he wasn't happy about the situation he was in.
    "For how long?" I already knew Ria shouldn't be touching me.
    "For as long as necessary. Maybe she should stay away from carriers for good."
    Fuck. No one knew anything, not even this bastard. I wished I could send him away from this world, but then everyone would be after me.
    "Is Carmen here?" Alan asked.
    "She got transferred to another lab a couple of months ago," Quinn said. I had no idea who Carmen was, which was surprising, but not everyone had visited me daily when I was a resident here. Before I decided to take out my frustrations on Quinn, I walked out of the office. My eyes fell on the door which led to the toilets.

    I stared at my reflection in the mirror, supporting myself on the sink. There were dark circles around my eyes and my hair was mussed up. I looked way too pale and tired, but that wasn't a surprise. I couldn't remember the last time they gave me something decent to eat. The longer I looked, the stronger I felt all the elements in the building. I'd attacked one of the scientists who tried to keep me down because I was so thirsty for her element that I couldn't think about anything except of getting in the possession of her element. I wasn't sure for how long I could stand their tests. There were way too many elements around me and I couldn't block them out of my mind. Unfortunately, Alan was bringing me here every fucking day.
    A sudden wave of cold air brought me back to reality, and I looked around to find its source. Was I going crazy? It wouldn't surprise me if I started seeing and feeling things that weren't there. Just as I decided to ignore the coldness and goose bumps rising on my arms, a thin layer of ice started spreading all over the mirror. I jumped back, observing the ice. How the fuck did that happen? A moment later, it began to melt, and drops of water glided down the shiny surface. Was this one of the tests? I didn't see the point of it except to drive me insane, but they hardly needed ice on a mirror to achieve that.
    The strangest thing of all was that I didn't feel elements as intensely as before. Tentatively I grazed the surface of the mirror with my fingertips. It felt cold, but I couldn't find the device that could have created the ice. Someone banged on the door, startling me.
    "Five minutes!" I yelled, annoyed that they didn't even want to give me a proper break. The moronic guard outside tried the door handle, and I wished the handle would freeze so he wouldn't be able to rattle it. The air suddenly became so cold that I shivered. What the fuck? Rubbing my arms, I checked for any ventilation system that could be letting out the chilly air. Nothing. Huh.
    I went into one of the stalls and wished for the air to become cold. A very light tingling sensation filled me from the inside, and elements blurred out of existence for a moment. Cold air burst out of me and completely enveloped me. I almost laughed out loud, but I didn't want to alert the guards outside. No one had heard me laugh or saw me smile for weeks, so they'd only torture me until I confessed what had made me happy. It was their mission to keep me miserable all the time.
    Backing out of the stall, I tried to freeze something, but my element wasn't listening to me. Wait, did I really have an element? It acted like an element, but it wasn't like any of the four main elements. I knew people with fire element could warm up the air, but I didn't know about any element that could make the air colder. Maybe I had some combination of air and water, but no one had heard about that either. I wasn't even sure if such a thing was possible. I still had the disease, which didn't make any sense. Magic disease
