Find Your Anchor - Part 1

21. The Supernatural Species : Wizards

It was all black.

As Thomas glided downwards, he could only see the color black. Whooshing sounds covered his ears. He closed his eyes, feeling a little bit dizzy. The hole was twisted and turned, so it was natural to feel like that.

After some agonying seconds, he could see some light beneath him. Thomas, who guessed that there was a trap right there, delayed himself with his power. He floated slowly, and eventually landed without stepping into the trap. He shuddered, thinking about Kira who must have been totally scared. Poor Kira.

Thomas  looked around the damp, murky hallway. There was several doors, but no soldiers. But there was a crossroad at the end of this hallway.

He cautiously stepped forward, one step at a time. Weird. There was no security. That's when some loud beeping sound blared. Red lights rapidly flashed, hurting his eyes badly. 

And one more thing.

Several footsteps hurrying  through the corridor.

Thomas was flabergasted for a second, but quickly hid inside one of the doors. It was the only option for him. He crashed-opened the closest door, shut it soundlessly because they might hear it, and went inside. Thomas locked it. Surprisingly, it could be locked. 

The brown haired boy looked around the room after he adjusted his eyes in the dark. He could hear the sounds of soldiers bursting through a door far away, and searching everything. There was no time. He should hurry, and find some place to hide.

He touched the walls, the floor, and some wooden furnitures. No secret room or passages. Shuck it.

But he found a bundle of papers, on top of a mahogani desk. He hold it infront of his face, and squinted to read it.

The title was this: Which surprised Thomas very much and forgot all about hiding.

THE SUPERNATURAL SPECIES : WIZARDS.

Wizards. As far as he was concerned, he too, was a wizard. Maybe he should take it. But he wanted to read it now.

He turned to the page 1.

THE SPECIES OF WIZARDS are very rare. Supernatural itself are rare around the world. But The species of wizards are fairly the most valuable. In fact, one people suspect that they are extinct, and others think there are few ones left. Scientists~...

Before he could continue to read, banging sounds were heard, and it was very close. Thomas remembered his mission, and quickly hid underneath the desk. Luckily for him, a wooden plank shielded him from the door. If the soldiers didn't come inside and searched everywhere, he wouldn't be discovered. At least not easily. 

He turned to the table of contents. He slid his fingers through the texts, and found two interesting keywords.

'The Definition of a Wizard' and 'The Powers of a Wizard'. Page 15 and 23.

First, he turned to page 15 for the definition of a wizard.

A man or a woman who is believed to have unatural magical powers. They could control different kinds of elements. They also have an Alpha and a Beta. The Alpha is the one who could control the universe, and the Beta is the one who controls death, and water. The Alpha is the strongest, and could control all of the elements. Other things are undiscovered or unkown.

Ohh, then Lucas and Koran was a beta. Then what am I? An Omega?

He turned to page 23. The banging sound were so close.

The powers of a wizard is very infinite. It is limitless, and no one knows what could control them. But some remains of a book written long times ago, in Greece, were found in 1980. 

The wizards can control elements, Universe, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Death and Life. 

Firstly, the universe, can control every single one of the elements. That's why it's the strongest, an Alpha. As far as we are concerned, it could possess powers called 'Epor' and shape it in any ways. It depends on the wizard's strength. And, it could make oneself transparent if it's capable of it. It could make a ball of Epor, called 'Drain', and shoot it like a bomb. The wizard who created the Drain is the only one who could touch it. Other ordinary people or other species of Supernatural can't touch it. Except for other wizards, who could touch it, but it should bear a serious pain. And now, the death...

BANG.

The soldiers found out that the door was locked. Holy shit, why had Thomas locked it? It would cause suspcions to the soldiers. Now he was doomed. He slid the bundle of papers inside his pocket, and went to the door. He would try to block the soldiers. If he could.

BANG.

Thomas generated the green aura, called Epor, and shaped it like a giant net, covering the whole door. 

BANG.

The door opened, and the soldiers came crashing in. Only to be electrified by the Epor and fall to the floor, dead. The others who were following the ones who was at the lead, stopped in their mid track. 

Thomas smiled to himself. It worked.

"It didn't work." 

A voice said behind him.

Thomas spun around, and was met by a gun pointed at his forehead. A man of mid thirty, who he haven't met before, was holding it.

"Well, well, Subject A2. Followed your friends straight here, hmm? I'll lead you straight to where they are kept. No worries. Now, quietly undo those magic, before I shoot you with my gun." He practically hissed the last sentence.

Thomas didn't hesitated one bit. This man came out of no where, so he suspected that there was a hidden corridor in the ceiling. It was the only place where Thomas didn't touched or searched. Judging from his tone, he really could shred him to pieces if he liked. He undid the magic. Soldiers, pating angrily, grabbed Thomas and began to haul him roughly through the murky corridor. Toward the crossroads. 

Thomas was angry, devastated, and miserable. Now he was captured too. It was all Asher's fault. No, there were his faults, too. It was fifty fifty. But Asher had suggested it in the first place!

While he was busy grumbling about Asher, the soldiers were already pushing him forward to get through a door. He glared at them, but they pushed the door open. 

His friends, including Kira were there. Newt, Minho, Brenda... all of them, except for Frypan, were all there. And unfortunately, Scott's pack were there too. Every single one of the teens were there. They looked at him in despair, something like, 'Not you too!'

They were all tied up in a chair, and there was one chair left, so Thomas guessed that that chair was meant for him. 

Like he had expected, the soldiers lead him to the empty one. When he sat, they tied him up. 

Thomas observed that it was combined with electric lines.

Everyone was just staring at him, and it started to make him uncomfortable. Finally, he asked, "What?"

Nobody answered. Newt shrugged. Minho winked. (idk why I wrote that. I just wanted to write it... Minho winked. Yes. It is the dream of every writers - A/N) Thomas knitted his eyebrows. Did Minho just winked? I didn't misread that?

Just then, before anyone could say more word, two people came in.
