"Have a pleasant flight" said the attendant at the counter. I read my ticket it said I would be seated in a window seat. Awesome! I went back to were my mom was seated, she looked sad, but wasn't she the one who convinced me to come?
"Mom are you alright?" I asked her as I sat by her side.
"Yes I'm fine" she said in between sniffles
"I just... I'll miss you Aiden" I wrapped my arms around her
" I'll miss you too mom, but I'll be back, I promise." with that said a smile returned to her face even though it was small.
When I was finally entering my gate my mom winked at me and mouthed the words " I love you"***
On the plane I was seated next to a boy with his mother, it reminded me a lot about me and my mom I smiled to myself knowing that I would see my mom again.
A little after I fell asleep, I woke up lying on the floor ,I was dreaming, I always knew, I have had multiple dreams just like this, I was in a white shirt and jeans, like in all my other dreams I could see but it was always blurry, of what I could make out I was in a small room it was circular and it had marble floors then as I stood up I made out a figure, it was sitting on a chair, or should I say she, she was wearing a white shirt and jeans, like me, her eyes were swollen and her arms were covered in scars and bruises. Then two men entered the room both wearing suits and gloves their faces were covered in white fabric, one was larger than the other, the larger one was holding a suitcase he laid it out on a table, it looked like one you might find at a hospital or dentist, he opened it and inside was a little bottle with a white liquid the smaller man pulled out an injection and filled it up with the white liquid while the larger man held the girl and kept her from moving he injected her with it.
At first nothing happened but then the girls started getting a seizure, her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears, I tried to help her but I couldn't do anything I couldn't even touch her, I was getting frustrated and scared at the same time, if she died it would be my fault for having not saved her.
My powers triggered and I woke up.
At first I was scared had I triggered my powers in reality, but luckily nothing had happened, the boy that was beside me asked why I was sweating so much, I told him it was just a bad dream.***
When I got out of the plane the first thing I did was to get my luggage after that I went to the shuttles to get a ride to the school, the lady at the desk was very, very old, her skin was so wrinkled it looked like she was dressed up as a raisin, her hair looked like yarn.But even though the lady might have been old she looked like she was fit, maybe she did yoga, I thought.
"Can I help you?" She asked her voice was raspy like nails on a blackboard.
"yes , what shuttle takes you to the boarding school?" I asked, I hoped she didn't ask me for the official name of the school because I didn't know it.
"That's lovely, umm... Do you know the name of the school?" She asked, my cheeks began to get red.
"No actually, I don't" the lady's face turned into a bundle of smirks, her wrinkles around her mouth widened, of course she was making fun of me. She left her counter and went entered into a little office that was behind a curtain that I hadn't even noticed.
When she came back she was holding a candle , it looked old the candle's wax was running down the sides.
As she brought it closer the fire started to lean in my direction, the lady nodded and put he candle down.
"I know exactly what school you're talking about" she said with that same smirk, I was really getting creeped out
"Great!... Which one?!?" I said to the odd lady
"Oh honey this school doesn't have a name!" I was getting very suspicious "it doesn't even exist!" She said with a wink.
"What do you mean it doesn't exist?"
The lady pointed toward the curtain behind her
"Follow me" at this point I was to confused to argue about anything , so I followed her into the room .
When I entered the room I was surprised to see that the room was bigger than I anticipated, it was rectangular and it had it its own kitchen inside, there was also a sofa and a table, it smelled like vanilla.
The lady got her phone from the table and dialed a number she started talking in a hushed tone and looking over at me.
This was so strange what was going on
-"Don't worry Aiden everything will be fine" she said her a voice suddenly calming and soothing
-"How do you know my name?" I asked my hairs on end waiting for answer.
-"it will all be clear soon I promise"she said trying to calm me down.
