2021-05-25 21:12:23After 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

Did you ever defy your parents’ advice and try something dangerous after they told you not to do it? Did you try exploring a mysterious estate that even the police won’t enter?We were about to do just that.We followed the directions on Natalie’s device, arriving at the property without incident. Some of the people in the group of pedestrians that passed us had puzzled expressions.We still wore our training uniforms.“I hate people staring” Adrian said.“Weren’t you a basketball player? Eric asked.“Yeah, but people recognized my jersey.”“Quit complaining, princess,” Daryl said. “Aside from the clothes, we blend in.”“Maddie, are you okay?” Eric asked.I nodded toward several security men guarding the property.“Great, now we have to deal with the bloody authorities,&rd

We knew our parts to play in stopping Lisa from burning Seattle and began implementing our plan. Natalie ran underneath Lisa and summoned a machine gun to fire multiple rounds at her. Although the bullets exploded when they hit her, Lisa’s flames offered protection from any impact they would have caused. But they distracted her from attacking Adrian. Lisa directed her attention to Natalie instead.After Lisa changed targets, Eric used his telekinesis to block off every window in the house, cutting off ventilation. While Eric worked on his project, Daryl swung his arms toward Lisa, sending shock waves of purplish energy around his arms. When Lisa avoided the waves of energy, Daryl lunged at her.Breaking her focus from Natalie, Lisa summoned a substantial pink flame and projected it towards Daryl.Daryl jumped out of her range of fire and dodged Lisa’s attack.Next, I joined in the action and flew in to distr

Still trapped in the chair, I couldn’t stop staring at the blue ball Mom left behind.What was that thing? I noticed the symbol on it. It’s the same one embedded on the device Zirocco brought.Two new guards came in, and these two were all too familiar.“Marcy, Chad, what are you doing here?” I asked, shocked.“Hello, Maddie,” Chad said. “We’ve been looking for you.”“We’re responsible for taking you into our dissection chambers,” Marcy said, showing no emotion.“Dissection?” I said freaking out. I tried to break out of that chair but my abilities failed. It looked like I was about to meet my end.“It’s nothing against you, Maddie, it’s about our survival,” Marcy said. “We can’t take any chances with hybrids running around so we make sure we understand their powers and defend ourselves a

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
