The unexpected hero

Chapter 1:

The first thing that pops into a person's head when they hear the word 'Hero' is a man that saves a women or in other words a 'damsel in distress'.

This story dates back to the old times, were if you were unique you had to be killed. My parents didn't want to let me get killed so they hid me from the world. Until one day they heard of an old women who could help me (become 'normal').

They sent me off with the old lady and as we were on our way to her house she said, "You remind me a lot about myself when I was you're age." she then reached with her hand into the side pocket of her dress and pulled out a big golden key, "How are you going to help me?"

We stopped at a big tree and then a lock appeared, she places the key into the lock, the door opens and she then reaches her old, frail hand out to me,
"Do you want to come in, and find out?"

The next moment I was standing in a colorful world were the trees sang the most beautiful songs, I have dreamt about this land many times.
"I know my dear child."

"How did..."

"You will find all the answers to your questions in good time."

She showed me around the house and when she stopped at a door she said, "You should get a good night's rest little one, oh and before I forget, training starts before sunrise, and don't be late."

she then turns around and replied with a smile, "Don't forget your book, good night little one." I turn around and a book lay on my bed. Well that was not strange at all.

The next morning a wake up with an alarming noise, hop out of bed and quickly get dressed in the uniform that hang against my closet. Just before I go out the door I turn around and grab the book, as I walk down the hallway toward the dining room, I open the book and start reading.

When I enter the dining room I see other students sitting around the dining table. I started searching for my name.

When I found my name I sat down and continued reading the book. "Hi, my name is Storm...Jack Storm, what is yours? Excuse me."

As I looked up from the book my eyes locked with the most beautiful hazel-green eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry but when I read something, I tend to lose track of time and forget there is people around me."
I say with half a smile.
"Don't worry it also happens to me, so what's your name?" he said with a dimpled smile and I reply,
"My name is..."

"Good morning young students, and welcome to your first day of training, please eat up and I'll meet you in the training room in 15 minutes and don't forget your training books."

Training books?
"So you were saying?"
"Oh, my name is Lenora."
"Lenora?"
"Peterson."
"What is this place?"

"Well this is a place where people like us come to, to hide from the world."

"So what's your power?" Jack asked with curiosity in his eyes.

I quickly took a huge bite of my breakfast, but regretted taking such a huge bite.

"Please." he said with a smile on his face.

"Well it isn't really that interesting, but I'm sure yours is?"

"Oh come on." He said with pleading eyes his eyes are so beautiful, no stop it!

"Well we have to go or well be late and Madam doesn't like tardiness."

"Come on." he held his hand out to me

"Um, I think I can get there on my own."

"Do you want to be late or not?" I hesitated but took his hand, "I would hold on if I was you." he said and took his arms around my waist.

"We only just met." I pulled his arms away from my waist.

"Sute yourself." He said with a grin.

The next moment I stood in the training area. I quickly let go of his hand and saw the arena quickly fill with student bodies.

"She is so hard-headed, I like that." I couldn't help but laugh.

"What is so funny?"

"Oh, nothing." Then I started laughing even harder.

"What? Is it something I said?" "Shh...Madam is here."

"Settle down." every student quickly went silent and she continued, "This year you will all go through different courses to improve your combat abilities and your control over your power and for some their powers.

Now I would like it if you all could split up in 2 groups, those with only one power should follow Mrs. Willow and those with more than one should stay here with me, you ma divide into your groups."

Most of the student left and there only remained 5, including me and Jack.

"I didn't know you have more than one power, I guess there is more than meets the eye with you."

"Well I am hard-headed." I said and winked at him.

He stood staring at me speechless. "Is she a mind reader?"
"Maybe." I said and looked at him waiting to see wat he does next.
"Welcome students, now you all have more than 1 power and usually only children that are born into royalty get that gift and I hope you all take it to heart and that you use those abilities to help make the world a better place."

Madam looked at every one of us and continued, "Now let's start your training."

"Each one of you have a unique ability and when you find your source you should harness it and use it to your advantage. Each one of you will come up here tell us your name and present your powers, the reason for this is so that I can know what I am working with also to see how much work your powers need to reach its full potential. Who is first?"

A hand went up and madam nodded to the boy, he had a very muscular body, his skin was very light, with icy blue eyes and short blond hair that almost looked white, "My name is Ryan Willock."

"Well Ryan you may proceed." He nodded to madam and started, his powers are ice, flight, can control the wind and strength the last ability was not very shocking for someone with his body.

"My name is Atlanta Ray." Madam nodded for her to proceed, she was very small in build and in length, with very short brown hair and brown eyes, her powers are stretch, very strong breath, can control the weather and control the ground (an earth bender).

"My name is William Kingsburth." Madam nodded for him to proceed, he has short black hair with a red streak, he was very tall, his eyes were brown and I could tell that he hid a lot of secrets behind those eyes, his powers are fire, speed, flight and invisibility.

"My name is Jack Storm." He has black hair, is just as tall as William and has hazel-green eyes, his powers are teleportation, can make plants grow, speed, can hear very far and can blend into the background.

"You're up." He said to me with a wink.
I hate crowds, here goes nothing.
"My name is Lenora Peterson." Madam nodded to me to proceed.
You can do this. "Can I use someone as an example to give an example of some of my abilities?"
Jack rose his hand.
"Think of something." he nodded

"You are thinking about a waterfall."

He nodded. I took my hands and slowly lifted Jack with his chair in the air and placed him back down.

I then shapeshifted into a bird.

"Jack can you through something at me?" he nodded and I turned my back toward him "You may through."
I let the object fly threw me. Madam nodded and I went back to my chair.
"Wow, nice abilities." Jack said when I sat down.

Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think.
Chapter 2 is coming soon.
