The Hived

Chapter 1: Wasp

There he went, the last time he would ever stay in his village, the gravely sand beneath his feet as he passed the small wooden houses, he always like the thatch roofs and the fields that he passed on his way to the academy every morning. He looked up a the pale yellow sky and thought Well this is it, so many old memories, friends family, and my entire childhood. He walked out of the gate and continued.

"JACOB" Someone yelled. Jacob heard footsteps coming up behind him. He turned a second to late.
"OW! THAT FREAKING HURT USE THAT BRAIN OF YOURS WOULD YA!" Jacob yelled at his advisor Katrina.
"Sorry, just was excited! We finally meet in person!" She said to him grinning. Her baby blue eyes complemented by her dark blue shirt. Her hair fell down to her elbows and was a thick dark brown. She was short roughly 5'2 and decent sized, not too skinny not to fat, she had a warm welcoming face and a beautiful smile, she looked only a few minutes younger than Jacob.
"Yah it's nice to see you too. But you should watch who your jumping on!" He said. She was his advisor, paired at incubation and genetically advanced in mental capacity designed to be smart at the cost of height and strength. She was his guidance and best friend through his childhood and the only thing he would ever remember of it.
"So we should get going, if we leave now we could make it there in record time." She said.
"Yah I think I see a building over that way." Jacob replied
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get a move on.

Within about 2 hours of walking we had made it to the building in the distance.
"That *pant* took *pant* way to long!" Said Katrina
"What are talking about? That was nothing." Jacob said grinning.
"You little flipping dung ball!" She teased him.
"Yah what ever, let's just head inside." He said as they walked through the Green Carbon gates. The facility was huge, they walked into a large open room with a few catwalks toward the ceiling, it looked sort of like a gym and a wear house had a child that was on steroids. The roof was a light gray with a few sun roofs and the floor was littered with Dumbbells and workout machines. At the end of the room was a hallway that they headed down. As the past they saw a few doors like Suit room, Cafeteria, Bunks, and more. They stopped when they saw a man in a yellow and black graphene armor suit.
"It's a lot to take in isn't it." Said the man. He was an old veteran with a deep cut over his left eye and a couple of deep indents in his face. He spook with a grovel but sounded happy, almost proud.
"Yah it sure is, and just a question who are you?" Jacob said bluntly
"Jacob!" Katrina said through gritted teeth.
"Ah yes, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is General Galimus, but you can call me Gally." Gally said.
"So where is everyone else, are they here yet?" Katrina asked curiously.
"They're on their way. It's only a matter of time before-" he was cut off
"JACOB HEY BRO!" Yelled Jose as he ran toward him. He was a tall kid, strong to. His skin was golden and always tan. He looked as though he could punch through a wall judging by the mass of his arm. He wore
"Jose good to see you how you been!" Jacob replied
"Good, good." Just then a girl about the same height as lily walked up to Jacob. "And who are you sweetheart." And as he said that a round house kick came at his face from no where. The next second Jacobs head was beating and he was more pissed off then ever.
"I'm 14 to have you know ya little shit." She said to him. Jacob began to run at the girl but Jose held him back.
"Dude that's my advisor, Miranda." Said Jose, the girl was about 4'10 and looked like a bomb about to blow. She had dark thick hair, and dark skin. They way she talked she made it sound like she was important. She had on a thin black jacket and jeans, but she was small but she could pack a punch.
"Just get that tiny devil away from men!" Jacob sneered. She glared back. There was a bit of tension spreading around the facility. The door opened and more people filed in some were recognized and some were new but everyone that was there belonged to the Oder of The Wasp;an organization dedicated to the eradication of the zephyrs, a bug like race seemingly based on destroying human life.
     "Well then now that everyone is here I'd like to welcome you all the The NEST facility: The Nocturnal Enrichment and Strength Testing facility." Galley said "Here is were you will sleep, eat, and train every day until you turn 17 then your time will come to become wasps yourselves." He grinned "If you survive testing of course." He walked away as chatter spread like wildfire through the recruits and advisors.
     "What happens if we don't get through it?"
     "What if my partner dies?"
     "I've done too much for this!" After some talking everyone went off to there bunks each pair slept in the same barracks for training per poses up until they turn 16 when they are move to separate rooms next to each other.
     "So..." Jacob says as he finishes unpacking.
     "Long day, very long day. I am pooped!" Katrina says as she flops onto her bed.
     "I wonder what's coming tomorrow?" Jacob asks as he gets ready for sleep.
     "I don't know." She pauses. "But I bet it will be AWESOME!" She says as the lights go out. They got a very full day tomorrow.
