The Awoken Trials.

~Chapter 4~ Reveal

The darkness of unconsciousness was soothing in a way. It made me feel safe from harm. I could've smiled if I wanted to. But I had to wake up eventually. I opened my eyes, and noticed my vision was still blurry. Probably from the hit to the back of my head. I tried to move my hand to rub my head, when I realized they were bound to a chair. Then, I heard slow clapping. Kind of like the iconic petty clap you hear in movies. Yeah you know, that one. Anyways, I waited for my eyes to adjust, when I saw something shine out of the corner of my eye, something silver...I didn't want to think about what it was...but it's the thought you put into something that makes it count...My vision finally adjusted, and I noticed I was back in that annoying, cramped cave, and saw all of my weapons pushed up against the far side of the wall. No escape. Then as I looked back at the source of the slow clapping, I felt the edge of a knife on my neck. My heart almost beat to a stop when I felt the cool, sharp metal against my skin, and felt my head get pulled towards the person.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"N-No...why do I care?"I spat back as their stern face turned into a more welcoming look, as they pulled a chair up and sat across from me.
"You're here, because the T.D.F.G. Hates people like us. People with natural abilities. And they figured that if they can't kill them, then why now let us kill each other."
"Woah..."
"Yeah 'woah' is right. Now me and my crew, we've been here almost seven years. seven. And we know the way 'round this place. Seen every sort of natural ability your little heart can think of, but you...you're different..." He said with a tone of calmness, probably trying to make sure I didn't get second thoughts about running. He slowly stood up, and cut the ropes on my arms, allowing me to stand up.
"So...what I'm the only one with a force shield?"
"No...but you don't realize that you actually have multiple abilities. It's like the T.D.F.G. Just made you to hunt us down. Made you a perfect self defense mechanism."
"Wait, wait, wait, multiple abilities?"
"Yeah, that smoke wall that popped up when you were escaping from those guys, you did that. I could tell because it protected you." He answered as I sat in silence, letting it all sink in. He stabbed the knife into the back of the chair, and rolled a sleeve up to show a tattoo.
"You see this fire tattoo?"
"Yeah."
"Shows that I have the natural ability to control and create fire." He said as I looked at a small tattoo of a burning flame.
"Now lift up your sleeve." He told me, as I looked at my right arm, and slowly started rolling the sleeve up. At first I could see the tattoo for 'Force Shield' then the Smoke Wall. But as I pulled the sleeve up to my elbow, I saw six other tattoos and a message scrawled out across my arm under neath the tattoo's.
