8 Seven (1/2)
”Thank you very much! I'll be sure to tell her,” I heard Dillon say to one of the girls who stood in front of him with a huge smile on her face. She was happy to have met him — her favorite out of the Heroic Eight. Everyone was actually a favorite except for me. It has been a week since we stepped out and we're officially announced as a team. There had been so many meetings held regarding us in Zims and New York was going crazy with the news about us as well. Seven out of the Heroic Eight had a small group of fans while one didn't get any attention.
Apparently, I was the weird one. I did stand out a bit. My body was going through changes since the last time. Everyday we would spend our time practicing and learning then we would step outside and have to deal with the constant smiles and waves. I did it for a few days but after a while I stopped and just carried on.
”We're screwed!” Mikey exclaimed as he slammed himself in his desk. We were separated from everyone else at the Academy. We were in a warehouse deep in the woods with high maintenance security so we could learn without being distracted.
”Am I fat in the future?” Liam asked as he opened a bag of chips.
I rolled my eyes, ”How do you not remember me? Me being here should've refreshed your memories yet Sarah is the only one who remembers me!”
”We all look the exact same!” Sarah screamed.
”Enough!” Bob yelled as he walked into the room. He placed a bunch of papers on our desks before marching over to the front of the cla.s.sroom. I looked down at the paper on my desk and read it out loud.
”Experiment One,” I whispered, ”What is that?”
”It is you,”
”Why are we referred to as experiments?” Melanie asked. I looked down at her papers and saw Experiment Four going across the top.
”Experiment?” Bob asked while walking forward and reading our papers, ”It is supposed to say experience! I apologize,”
”I was about to say,” I heard Sarah mumble. Bob smiled softly before clapping his hands together.
”Enough of the chatting! It's time for you each to split up and go to your activities! You aren't here to lounge around!” He exclaimed. Slowly, we all stood up and began making our way out of the cla.s.sroom and into the different rooms around the huge warehouse where we could practice using our powers. I waved goodbye as everyone entered their a.s.signed rooms.
The room that I was a.s.signed to was on the other side of the warehouse. I sighed heavily as I made my way down the empty hallway and towards my room. Suddenly, I felt that I was being watched. I stopped walking and turned around only to see nothing. Confused and curious, I turned back around and started to walk towards my destination. As soon as I was about to place my hand on the k.n.o.b, someone grabbed me from behind. I gasped before grabbing the stranger by the arm and flipping them over. He stood up quickly and began charging towards me. I swung and but he quickly grabbed my arm before throwing his fist towards me. I lifted my leg up and kicked him sending him flying to the opposite side of the wall. Before I could do anything else, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I fell to my knees slowly before looking up. Standing over me was another man in a black mask with a needle in his hand. My vision began to blur and the last thing I could remember was him smirking at me before everything went black.
I jumped up quickly only for someone to place their hands on my shoulder. Turning around, I grabbed the person by their neck and slammed the against the wall.
”It's me!” Mikey screamed.
”Relax Carter!” Liam exclaimed while placing his hand on my shoulder. Slowly, I loosened my grip and removed my hand from around Mikey's neck. He sighed in relief while everyone else stared at me with wide eyes.
”What the h.e.l.l happened?” Melanie asked while reaching to touch my hair. I slapped her hand away from me leaving her shocked.
”Don't touch my hair,” I growled.
”Carter, what is wrong with you? What the h.e.l.l happened to you?” Sarah asked.
”I was attacked,” I answered, ”I do not know who it was since their faces were covered but they injected me with something and that's the last thing I remember!”
”We found you lying on the floor!” Dillion explained, ”You weren't even breathing! You were just lying there and your hair was red!”
”What?” I asked. I made my way towards the mirror and stared at my reflection. My hair was no longer brown but instead it was red. It was the same shade of red that I had in the future.
”How long have I been out?” I asked.
”Two weeks,”
”Do you feel different?” Mikey asked.
”I feel angry!” I yelled. Melanie flinched. There wasn't another word exchanged between any of us. Everyone just stared at me as I stared at the white wall. I felt angry. I wanted to hurt someone and I didn't like having that feeling.
”Someone's coming,” I mumbled.
Before anyone could say or do anything else, a knock was heard at the door. Turning around, I held my hand up and the door opened. Melanie gasped as she witnessed me showcase my telekinetic powers.
”I came to see if everything was alright,” John greeted, ”I'm glad to see that you're awake, Carter!”
”John,” I warned. He held his hands up in defense and nodded his head.
”I will get to the bottom of it!” He said before backing out and closing the door behind him.
”This had to be done by someone who worked inside of the warehouse!” Kasey started, ”I didn't feel any danger!”
”It's the same thing that is happening in the future!” I began, ”In the future, something or someone is coming and it is coming for me! I was known as The Chosen One!”
”That's it!” Dillion exclaimed, ”All of us was in the warehouse yet you were attacked! Whoever it was who attacked or organized this attack on you actually chose you! You are still the chosen one!”
”She was also known as the forbidden child yet we know nothing about her Mother!” Sarah stated.
”While some things are a bit confusing, I still do know my Mother!”
”It's her Father that we don't know!” Mikey whispered. I turned my attention to him as he stared at the white wall. He looked at me and nodded his head, ”I remember now,”
”He has gotten his memories! He knows who she is!” Sarah explained to everyone else who stood in the room confused. Mikey sat on the bed and cleared his throat.
”I remember when we met Zion! He said that you were the daughter of Ladus who was the King of a planet known as Idilia! We know nothing about her Father because he was one of the Elders but the ring was pa.s.sed down to Carter making her become one of the Elders,” He explained.
”No one knew him because he never came to Earth,” Sarah said.
”Exactly!”
”Which means that she's half human and half alien,” Liam explained.
”But aliens weren't supposed to be on Earth! They were to protect s.p.a.ce!” Melanie stated.
”Exactly!” Mikey yelled, ”King Ladus slept with Marie also known as Mysteria and created
Carter! Obviously, her mom didn't travel to Idilia since she's human and he was not supposed to be on Earth!”
