Hidden: Gears

Chapter 1:

I was cold, hungry, and I was thinking again, so much had changed over the past week, I held the pendant closer to my chest. Our hideout was attacked, we had to flee, or else we could have lost whatever little we have. I found out I can use powers; the first manifested power was lightning. I truly don’t get how many people can fit in this area I mean its roughly the size of a small farm only a couple of buildings here and there, and yet there were more and more coming in, we barely have enough food for all of us. I snapped out of my thoughts abruptly when another group came back from gathering food, and immediately there was a mess, as always.

I stood up and decided to walk to my room, of course I shared it with other people but I don’t mind, I’ve lived like that my whole life, as I got to my door, I started thinking again, I laid down on my bed , I brushed my long brown hair out of my eyes and I closed them. I miss them, my family, I haven’t seen them since I was eight, it’s been almost ten years now, I only have two things from them an old family picture and my pendant, my strange and pretty pendant. I held it up and look at the almost rainbow colors shine, purple, orange, blue, and the colors mixed up, it must be nice to have someone close as family, this life was cold, lonely, and boring, after a while of thinking about this I decided to fall asleep.

 A sharp knock woke me up, I stirred and groaned, oh man, not her again, anyone but her, “Wake up, you good for nothing slob!” yelled a high pitched female voice. Great, it was her again. I decided to stand up before she knocked my door down, “Well, Hello there Cynthia… What do you want?” I asked with little to no feeling in my voice, Cynthia scoffed and said “Nothing with you, looser. I was simply order to wake you; I have no need to mingle with someone as pathetic as you.” She said as I brushed past her, and walked to the hall way and made my final stop at the cafeteria, I took the plate as they served the mix of food they decided to call meal, I was brown in color I’m not sure if it’s supposed to look like this, oh well, I was not about to miss my food because of its appearance.

The rest of my day was uneventful as usual in this place. We never did anything exiting, only a few things, such as scouting, guarding and looking for people and other minor jobs, I went into my room I shared it with a couple of kids and another teenager, a girl her name was Faw she was pretty new to here, still getting adapted, she had short red color hair that fell into curls a lean body but that must be because she was so malnourished, over the past months she has become my friend, the only friend I’ve had since I came into this place, so far she was the only nice one, it was nice to see a change, with a quick good night I laid on the bottom bed and fell asleep  .

The morning next I woke up startled, the kids decided it was fun to jump and run about everywhere, I lazily looked up and saw the care takers of the group trying to calm down the kids, It was too early for all this shenanigans, oh well I was up, I waited till the kids

were taken care of and then left my room to the cafeteria, as I ate I remembered today is combat training.  As I finished eating they gave out the names of the people we were going to spar today, as they called out the names I automatically started rating them, not important, not important, Oh, Cynthia is in the list, this shall be interesting, I thought as a sly grin formed in my face, this shall be fun. I went to the designed arena, and looked for the armor, we might not have a fancy place but we do have technological engineers and they are always making armors, weapons, and so on, they were great, I zipped on my armor and went to the arena, I stepped on the line, I heard a beeping noise and my first opponent came out, he is a newbie, so cocky and just starting out, ugh, I hate that, well his lost anyways, and I charged into battle.  I ran to the front of the kid, you should have seen the look on his face he was more than a little shocked. Lovely a coward, I rolled my eyes and I charged my fist with lightning and felt a small shiver run on my back, I ignored it, and I hit him square on the jaw sending him to the ground, I poked him with my foot to see if he was conscious, but he was out cold, the next fights went pretty much the same, then it came finally ill kick the spoiled princesses butt, I’ll enjoy it. I adjusted my leather gloves and let the electricity die down, I felt jitters over my body.
