Operation: Survive This War

Chapter 1| What Now?

AMBER'S P.O.V
Screams were heard throughout the compound we were being held in. I ran out of my room they gave me and down the hall and into Lizzie's room. Lizzie was a blonde hair and pink eyed girl. She was one of the 'specials' like I was and with three other boys. "Lizzie, wake up." I said as I tried shaking the girl awake. Slowly the cries died down a little and the girl slowly opened her eyes that were stained with tears. "It's okay, Lizzie." I said as I wrapped my arms around her. Lizzie was special, she had the ability to see into the future through dreams and she could also move things with her mind. She was only 10 when they brought her in and now she's 14. Lizzie is a shy and quiet girl but she has her reasons just like many of us. As for me, I was only 13 when they brought me in. I was the feisty one of the group and the one who always got into trouble. My powers consisted of controlling fire and ice and for my appearance, well, I had pitch black hair and fiery red eyes. "It was horrible, Amber." She cried out. "I know Lizzie, but things won't always turn out like it seems." I said as I gently played with her hair while she cried into my shoulder. There was a knock on the door and a quiet voice came with it. "Can I come in?" He asked. "Of course." I replied while he opened the door. "Is Lizzie okay?" He asked. "It happened again, Alex. They're getting worse each night." I said. "What do we do then?" He asked. Alex was the carefree one of the group. I learned quickly that Alex got high off of life and just plain living. Alex had the power of flight and teleportation and for his appearance, he had pitch black hair and bright golden eyes. "Is everyone okay in here?" Asked Max while walking in. "Lizzie had another vision and it got worse than before." I said as I looked down at Lizzie sleeping in my arms. Max was the goody two shoes of the group. He never liked getting into trouble so I had to teach him how to live a little and to not be afraid of everything. Max had blonde hair and bright orange eyes and his power was super strength and speed. "What's going on?" Yawned Josh, the oldest in the group. Lizzie was the youngest at 14, then came Max at 15, Alex and I were both 17, and Josh was 19. "It was Lizzie." Said Max and with that small bit of information Josh knew what he meant. Josh had dark brown hair and yellow eyes and he was the father of the group. Josh could create force fields and turn invisible when he wanted to.

We all had different types of lives but 4 years ago we were brought together and everything changed for the worse. The government found out about 5 kids with extraordinary powers that were wreaking havoc but truth was, we didn't know we were special, we didn't know how to control our powers. We were scared and we would think that there wouldn't be anyone with powers but we were wrong. Once the government found us, they killed our families fearing that they were like us. Lizzie had it worse; her parents died right in front of her eyes, which caused her to go mute but she slowly began talking once she realized we cared about her. We were left all alone with nothing. They took everything we cared about and they threw us into a compound with security everywhere, at least they let us go visit each other in our rooms. We slowly began to form a bond and soon, we became a family. Each day would be the same damn thing over and over again. We had no freedom left. We all reacted differently when we found out we would be staying here for the rest of our lives since we didn't belong with society. I built up anger, Alex tried to be as happy as he could, Josh and Max didn't really know how to react, and Lizzie just broke down crying. I hated the government so much but I hated someone so much more. Her name was Lydia Green, the head of the government making her the Monarch of our society. She brought our society to chaos and destroyed anyone who would get in her way, and that included us. She turned our society into 4 groups. Everyone fit in to each group except for the specials. A long time ago there were specials but Lydia was confused and she wanted everything to be perfect so she destroyed and killed anyone who got in her way. Years later we were the new group of specials. Lydia made sure we wouldn't try to stop her and get rid of her for turning everything into chaos so she locked us away.
