The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't The change
Did you ever feel different? Did you feel hated or rejected by the rest of the world because of it? Say it had nothing to do with the kind of person you have become. What if it was because of something about you? Something that you did not choose to be. What if you do not want to change your unique abilities, even though they may help you stop an evil alien force from destroying humanity? Oops, sorry if I scared you. I tend to space out and introduce suspense too soon. I forgot to introduce myself… My name is Madelyn North, but everyone I know calls me Maddie. I was born in Seattle, Washington, the worst place for a teenage girl to fit in when she is different from everyone else. Everyone in my old school believed in stereotypes
The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't The Departure
I did not know what to think about this strange invitation with no return address on it. Or why my mother and my best friends treated me like a monster. Or even why were there no doctors or nurses in this supposed hospital. All I knew was I could not stay in this horrible hospital. I went back to my room and looked for spare clothes, but I could not find any.“Crap. How can I get out of here with no clothes and no money?” I said to myself.But then I thought, Wait. Mom always brings an extra nurse outfit in her bag. Under the circumstances, could not say I felt guilty about stealing her clothes.I opened the gym bag my mom left in the room and found extra green scrubs.Luckily, Mom and I wear almost the same size.
The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't The Vision
They say when you die, you see your whole life pass by before your eyes, but that did not happen. While I was recovering from the blackout, I had strange visions about me and five other teenagers I have never met. Each of us had peculiar powers. One dude in sunglasses was blasting three robots that looked like they came out of a sci-fi movie with two dark laser beams from his hands. Another bald man sliced five other robots in half using only his arms. But both arms glowed purple. The visions got more puzzling. I envisioned a young Hispanic girl with gorgeous black hair, wearing a red jacket. She created a force field resembling ruby quartz. The force field protected a small group of people from a massive cloud of debris caused by the acti

I ’m not sure why I remembered the image of the star now, but the pin the man wore looked almost identical to the one I saw when I probed one of the guard’s minds. After I had finished my flashback, I pulled out my mom’s letter and the envelope from Zen Academy. On the back, I saw a thin button. I pressed it and a blue virtual map appeared before me. “Whoa,” I whispered. My jaw stayed open for about twenty seconds. Would I finally get some answers? I found Mom’s car and drove toward the railroad. The virtual envelope showed me the way. I figured it might be the only place I would be safe from this Vanity crap. Forty-five minutes later, I arrived at my destination, an old, a

Itook a break from probing Eric’s mind and tried my luck on the girl with the ruby-coated hand.Her name turned out to be Adrian Rodriguez from El Paso, Texas. She lived with her mom, a factory worker. Adrian’s Mom was demanding so Adrian kept busy trying to earn her mom’s approval.She thought earning a spot on her school’s varsity basketball team as a sophomore would be a good start. Even though she was still a sophomore, she qualified for the varsity team and was close to playing state.But the night her team was going to play for the regional championship, she experienced “the change” and transformed into a hybrid. It lasted two hours. Naturally, the doctors were puzzled.The school officials thought Adrian was on drugs prior to the game due to her sudden coma, so they kicked her off the team and suspended her for a week. The following week, she found out her team lost 35 to 18 because
The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't The Orientation
The entire crowd of students gasped at the sight of the gigantic hologram towering above us. The mere virtual presence of this unusual woman kept us in suspense. “I am Chancellor Emola Thorne,” the hologram said. “Here at Zen Academy, my faculty and I have made it our objective to seek out each of you based on your exceptional abilities. We know many of you come from households and cities that do not understand your capabilities, or the reason you have frightening gifts. Some of you may have been exploited or hunted by those closest to you because of this. But rest assured, you are safe in this environment. You’ll learn to use these abilities for the betterment of yourselves and all mankind.” I didn’t know why, but I felt safe listening to her talk. I felt enchanted by her words, but reluctant to trust her. I looked at the other students gazing at her as if she was their savior. “My security drones shall escort you to your dorms,” the chancellor s

The crowd around us made a wide circle because they expected a huge fight. This girl was the roaring lioness while we were the gladiators fighting for our lives.“Kids, this might be a bad time to tell you this but I don’t know how to fight.”“Seriously?” Adrian asked “Mind blast her. Knock this ninja chick out.”“I’m trying!”“I won’t let you creeps mess with my head,” Natalie shrieked. “Die!”Natalie transformed her mallet into a defensive shield. She aggressively charged at us with her shield in front of her and her sword cutting the air behind her. Eric got in front of me and Adrian prepared to blast his dark matter beam from his hand.The dark energy plasma surged towards Natalie but her shield blocked it.Instantly, the beam split into five different branches and wreaked havoc on the campus, sending
The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't The Enforcers
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

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.

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
