As the debris from the two mysterious figures began to dissipate, I recognized the two men emerging from under the dust. One was a bald black fellow and the other was muscular, possibly Native American.
“You can get inside, the show’s over,” the bald one said with a British accent.
One walked around Natalie while the other one knelt to check her pulse. The bald fellow started talking to me.
Then I recalled these two people were the ones I saw in my vision. The bald one sliced the robots in half with his bare hands. The other man lifted an armored tank by himself.
“You blokes know how to make an entrance, Ms. North.
“Who are you?” I asked. “How do you know my name?”
“My name’s Daryl Wailer and Mr. Muscles there is Richard Ardmore. We’re enforcers for the academy.”
“What does that have to do with me and my friends?&rdq
To say that my encounter with Emola was overwhelming would be a huge understatement.“Right this way,” the drone said. It pointed me to the changing room.When I walked into a changing room, I noticed a blond Caucasian girl pulling up her socks.The girl pulled out cigarettes, snapped her fingers and out came this small pink flame from her fingers. My eyes lit up at the sight of it. No pun intended. I could not believe all these teens possessed such a variety of powers.“I know you’re there, newbie,” the girl said. “It’s rude to stare, you know.”“Sorry,” I said.” I did not mean to stare. My name is…”“Maddie North,” she said with a smirk. “Everyone who saw you and your friends knows your name.”She stood up and burned her cigarette to ashes.“Congratulations, you’re
What choice did we have? Who could we trust to help?“What the hell!” Adrian said. “How are we going to survive? We barely understand how our powers work.”“Even if we could leave, we’d have nowhere to go,” Eric stated.“The rest of the world won’t understand what we are. Most likely, they’ll try to kill us. 
After everything I went through, I can’t believe I’m going out like this.I closed my eyes, feeling a warm sensation in my chest. Was that something coming out of my chest? When I opened my eyes, I saw pink, glowing butterfly wings exiting my chest. Suddenly, I floated within the pit. “What the...”“Hello, Ms. North.” A hologram of Chancellor Thorne appeared floating in front of me. “I have sensed you’ve acquired a new ability. Beta kinesis is a rare skill to possess.”“Emola? What’s beta kinesis?”“The ability to generate and manipulate artificial life energy.“Look, this is great, but why can’t I use my telepath skills here?”“I am blocking your telepathy from the other students and enforcers. I’d like to see how well you adapt to this challenge. You have a unique connection and purpose to ou
“ You can’t use your mind powers this time,” Natalie said.“No chance, boy scout,” Daryl said. “In order to move past, one of you blokes have to fight one of us.”“I’m afraid that Mr. Ardmore is correct,” Chancellor Thorne’s hologram declared. In fact, I nominate Miss North to face one of the enforcers.”“That would be me.” Natalie grinned devilishly.The chancellor said, “Let the final battle begin.”The force field enclosed Natalie and me, separating us from everyone else.Natalie called, “It’s just you and me.” She tossed one of her swords to me. “Before I kick your ass, I’ll give you a fighting chance.”Why would she give me one of her swords? Maybe she’s not as despicable as I thought.“Let’s do this,” she said
As I woke up, I opened my eyes while Adrian and Eric tried to revive me. Sweat dripped down my face. I couldn’t help but feel these visions had more connections to the academy. How could we plan a successful escape?“Thank goodness you’re awake, chica,” Adrian said.She gave me a tight hug. For a second I started to think of Marcy. Even though it wasn’t that long ago, it felt like forever since I had an actual real friend worry about me.“What happened? Where’s Natalie? How long have I been out?” I asked.“You’ve been out for 50 years, chica. We are the grandkids of your friends! And the world is now ruled by giant, talking lobsters.”“What?”“Just kidding, lighten up.”Now was not a good time to joke around.Eric elbowed her in the arm. “Not funny,” he said.“You guy
To describe what the laboratory actually looked like, it resembled kind what you’d see in a sci-fi movie. The strange purple and silver monitors and giant test tubes were things that must’ve been created by hybrids.At first, Natalie was quiet.“Natalie, are you okay?” I asked, reaching out to touch her hand.“This place shouldn’t exist!” she said as she continued to stare at the laboratory, ignoring my hand.It strange for the three of us to see Natalie like this. Ever since we arrived, we’ve never seen her vulnerable.We all circled around her, concerned and baffled by the site of her curling up on the laboratory floor.“It’s a living nightmare,” Natalie said. “It can’t be a myth if they’re standing in it.”“Natalie? What do you mean?” I said as I kneeled down to her. I soon found myself holding h
The students were all in a crazy trance that I couldn’t reverse. “Great,” I said. “I can’t shut down any of their minds.”“Of course you can’t, my dear.” Thorne laughed haughtily. ”I have shielded their minds from you. Let’s see how you fare against your peers. Students, please apprehend these ominous rebels.”The students charged toward us, ready to tear us apart.Adrian said, “I don’t think we can face them all.”“We can’t. Run!” Eric commanded.We all ran as fast as we could to escape chancellor Thorne and her traumatized hybrid soldiers. But before we could, I stopped to carry Natalie.“Are you crazy?” Adrian said incredulously. “Why would you bring her along? She’s pretty much like them.”“No, she’s not. She wouldn’t have cried that much if
To say that getting better at reading people’s minds was both exhilarating and distracting would be an understatement. Since I had already probed Natalie’s mind, I chose to look into Rick’s head next.I gradually penetrated his thoughts to see if I could reach his subconscious. I opened my eyes, envisioning his memories rushing through his mind like a California highway during rush hour.It turns out Rick was born on a Native American reservation in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He never knew either of his birth parents, human or alien. He was adopted by an Irish couple who were business partners with Rick’s birth mother.His mom owned a local casino. Rick’s grandfather was an Indian chief who’d owned the casino before his mother did. He and Rick’s mom had a falling out before Rick was born. He disapproved on people outside of his tribe owning property on his land. He deeply resented his mom owning a casin
Sam arrived in a large presinct filled with strange creature all roaming around in uniforms, each wearing an " L " shaped badge. " Home sweet home." A red haird girl in a white jacket bumped into Sam, causing her to drop her bowl filled with blueberries. " My bad , Dude. " She said. " Look like you made a mess. " " I got it. " the girl told him. " Descensus horum fructuum converterent. " She chanted. The bowl levitated into her hands and the blueberries soon followed. " There. Good as new . " " Hey , Liv. " An asain teenager appeared out of nowhere. " You coming or not ? Scott's already trying to freeload off Maxine. Again . " " Relax, Jill. I was just on my way to the Broth. Let's go. " The two girls left as Sam was taking in the diversity of so many folklore. " Mr. Ethol ?" A second voice called out to him. He turned around to find a green skinned girl with a third eye on her forehead. " Um ... yes. " That's eye ... I mean me. " Sam stumbled. " Don;t worry. I get that

"When I... beat him, I got his artifact; Vendetta which helped me control some of the victims affected by Echidna" "You believe combining your abilities with Storm shell may help us restore the victims here?," Henry asked."Yeah.

Olivia, Sam and Scott left Captain Moss’ office.“As if the damage already done by The Blessing was not enough,” Sam murmured.“The briefing is scheduled to take place during the second half of the day. I would like to get a bite before that,” Scot said, ignoring Sam’s whining.Olivia broke off from the group.“Aren’t you joining us?” Scott asked.“I’m good. I’m not eternally hungry like you,” she replied, taking a turn towards left.She headed to an iron bench in the garden. She would rather spend the afternoon alone than hanging out with her colleagues. Her mind could use a little peace. The last few weeks had provided her with life changing experiences. She had been disowned by her family, yet again. And to make the matters worse she had lost faith in friendship after what Jill, who was actually Tabitha, had done to her.She closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the bench. She wanted to resurrect Jill and give her another chance at life. Moss had disapproved of that, knowi
As soon as Hansel left, Captain Moss flipped open one of the files on his desk. He began looking at the two recent cases of abduction. He carefully read each and every detail about the history of the forelocks that had been abducted.The motive was unclear but he suspected that the abduction might have to do something with Harold Hurst – The Warlock Alpha. He made a mental note to talk to Maxine about this. Perhaps she would be able to give some insight into this. He marvelled if the hooded figure was Harold Hurst himself. Although his mind dismissed the idea the very next second, thinking that this might be a possibility, he decided to work on the abductions first.The news of the third abduction came in when he was busy reading the files. Meredith walked into her office with the message.“Paulo, the Music Demon has been abducted from the arena,” she told him. “The staff in the arena got in touch a minute ago.”“Do we have the full details,” he asked.“As much as I could gather. An a
He had no answer. Her memory had been erased. She had no recollection of her previous life. Although this made the life of those dealing with her at the Agency easier, it raised red flags. There was someone out there who knew about her powers.The fact that the girl thought of the runes as her toys was overwhelming. They couldn’t take them away from her by force, not at least until an ongoing investigation about her bloodline was concluded. Perhaps the child’s soul was bound to the runes. They had to make sure the girl won’t be harmed if she gave the runes away. For now, it was enough to warn her but the problem was she had to be calmed down. Her anger provoked her powers and that could be lethal since the girl hardly understood anything at this age.The witch doctor decided to put her under a spell. It was a hard decision to make but the child had a tendency to summon fires and floods as soon as she was offended.Today, when Samantha was brought into Dr Aegle’s office, she had asked
An hour later, Olivia walked into Moss’ office. She could see that the atmosphere was really tense. Apart from Hansel there were three other agents in presence. Olivia immediately recognized the two agents sitting opposite to Moss. One of them was agent Kai sparrow, a 16-year-old Native American warlock. He was a tall guy with dark hair and piercing hazel eyes. Although he was notorious for his arrogance, Olivia felt that he was very capable. The other one was Skin Walker. He was a shapeshifter and Olivia didn’t know much about him. He was around 17. He had the appearance of a typical rebel at high school. She didn’t however recognize the women sitting on the right. She was petite and had long hair braided into what look like a long tail thinning gradually towards the end. The braid was set onto one of her shoulders. She sat straight. Olivia noticed that she was looking at her with what she would call “a mixed expression”. She couldn’t help but wondered if the woman recognized her.It
The team decided on their course of action. Hansel would stay in the parabola and collaborate with Maxine and try to stop more abductions. Olivia was assigned to lead the team that would go to Chicago Illinois. Skin, Kai and Roxi were to accompany her. Olivia and Hansel decided that they would stay in touch constantly with each other and with Meredith.The next day Olivia, Skin, Kai and Roxy teleported themselves to Chicago Illinois. They landed close to location of the church and began waiting for their aid.“The Agency has a lot of sources in the human world. They understand our mission and approve of our ethics that’s why they provide us support, whenever needed,” she explained to Roxi.“I think our guy is here,” Skin said, pointing towards a middle aged man who looked like a stereotype of a banker.“I’m sorry, have you been waiting long?” he asked cheerfully.He introduced himself as Kevin Miller. He was a banker and lived in a beautiful villa on the outskirts of the city.“So you
After lunch break, Olivia hurried towards the main office. Too little time and she had too much to do. William and Alan along with another one of their colleagues had left on a mission, assigning most of the tasks to Olivia and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a newbie who knew far lesser than Olivia. This meant that Olivia had to take care of a lot more stuff than she could handle and she was overwhelmed.“Olivia!” Elizabeth called out from across the hall.“Yes?” Olivia sighed.“Detective Morris is waiting for you in his office,” Elizabeth informed.“Who?... William?” Olivia asked with surprise.“Yes, he’s here to see you,” Elizabeth confirmed.Olivia looked at the open door on her left and walked in.“William? What are you doing here,” Olivia said entering his office. “I thought, you were…”“Alan and June are taking care of that stuff. Anyways, we have a pressing issue to attend to which is why I am here” William replied.“We?” Olivia asked.“That’s right, you too!” he said pointing to a
