The Gifted Ten

KYRENE

            I was standing in my office . I held  a big blue folder  which had all my hard work . Inside the file, there were ten categories , each one entirely different from the others . " David,  Treasa, Clive , Jorge , Chloe, Albert , Jim , Zack , Vanessa and Evelyn " , I read out each name as all the ten teens walked in . Each of them had a distinct quality which I wanted to possess . From afar, they would probably remind you of a bunch of juvenile delinquents , except one or two. Evelyn and Clive were the only two who were unaware of their powers . All the others knew they were here for a reason, but then it's always the late bloomers who are the most talented . Their personalities varied drastically .

       Jim and Vanessa were the most arrogant . They never cared about what others thought. They were rebels , not soldiers. Treasa, Jorge  and Albert were the smart ones . They were researchers , not in any way useful in battle . Chloe had stealth . Zack was quiet and reserved . He was the one I was uncertain about but I knew for sure that he was powerful . And then came Evelyn and Clive. They both had powers that could surpass the others . If only they could control it......

 They had formed a semicircle in the centre of the room . " How are you all feeling today ? " 

A few of them shuffled their feet and looked at each other . Evelyn stared right back at me . That girl was determined . I knew she had that . Jim answered , " Are we going to start or not ? " I walked toward him, until I stood a mere five inches away . " Jim , do you mind showing us what you're capable of or are you afraid ? " He raised an eyebrow, and without another glance he moved to the centre of the room. Closing his eyes, he disappeared from the spot . There was a collective gasp. Treasa screamed loud , " I just felt someone hold me . " Clive turned back , " I swear I felt someone hit my head . " 

       All of a sudden , there was a strong gust of wind . It was like a mini tornado . " You can stop Jim . "  Jim reappeared , smirking . He went back and stood in his place , his hands tucked in his pockets. " As you can see, Jim has both invisibility and speed . Similarly , all of you have something special . We're going to test you all to see how physically and mentally strong you are . Let us begin . "
