EXTRAORDINARY: The Guardians

Chapter 1: THE SHOW

AMBER AND CHLEO WERE GETTING READY FOR THE SHOW. AMBER IS A NINETEEN-YEAR-old brunette. Her mother got her name from the color of her eyes. She has a long black soft curly hair and rosy cheeks. Her complexion is fair and she has a slender body. Chleo is a 5’10” tall nineteen-year-old boy, on the other hand. He has a dazzling aquamarine eyes and his hair is blond. He has a well taken care body that he maintains primarily for his career.

    The air of tension has filled the dressing rooms, but not for the two. They’ve been into several fashion shows since they were fifteen. While Amber is more of a ramp model, Chleo does photo shoots too and is frequently being featured in different magazines.

    “Break a leg everyone!” Amber shouted in an ecstatic voice.

    “Everybody, gather around as we witness the House of Jason spring collection,” the host announced.

    *Crowd applauded*

    The fashion show has officially started. Models entered the room, coming from different directions, flaunting their way into the crowd. Male and female models took turns after turns.

    The show showcased the upcoming fashion trends. Although they weren’t that new; they were reinterpretations, rather than creations. From dresses with lace to crochet and macramé; from tail hems to jumpsuits and playsuits—the ‘70s glamour is sure back from the dead. Capri pants and stripes were presented too. And as for the accessories and footwear, cat eye sunglasses, belt purses, clogs and kitten heels starred the night.

    Suits and motorcycle fashion ruled the men. From single breasted suits to double breasted ones and sportcoats to three-piece suits; with these, nothing can go wrong. Then there comes the motorcycle jackets and flared jeans—goodbye military looks and skinny jeans.

    Amber came out from the left side of the room. She walked fiercefully wearing a short sleeveless metallic brown jumpsuit that is matched with a red belt purse and black ankle cuff clogs. Chleo followed her, coming from the other side. He wears a gray three-button crew neck shirt, topped with an unzipped black Brando jacket, black trousers and black gladiator sandals.

    Then the last models came out and they all walked to the stage.

    Jason was about to be called when suddenly the lights went off. The crowd was silent for a second until a loud burst came off the backstage and everyone was alarmed. Panic filled the room but mixed fear and excitement for Amber and Chleo. Fear for their talents getting exposed, their abilities. Fear of getting caught by the those aliens or some sort of beasts that have been tracking them since the past two years. But excitement was there, too. They get to exercise their talents.

    Both of them knew what that was. It meant danger for everyone in the building, including them.

    So they made sure everyone was out of the building before they do something.

    “Ready Amby?” Chleo asked, agitated.

    “Hell yeah,” Amber answered in a low, enthusiastic voice as she disappeared.

    Chleo moved swiftly, shocking the first alien to appear. It flew to the wall, leaving a big crack.

    Whoa! Chleo thought to himself, surprised by how his ability seemed to have grown stronger.

    Astonished as he was, he didn’t see the other alien as it was about to shoot him. Luckily, Amber is good with knives and daggers. She threw a dagger right to the alien’s left knee and it shot the ceiling instead.
