In Your Mind

Chapter 5

Hi guys it's me! I'm so sorry that this chapter is posted so late but I have been so busy these last few week with school and everything. Please let me know what you think and don't be afraid to give your honest opinions (without being rude please). Share this story, vote and comment. If you have any tips on how I can get publicity or my writing please let me know:) I love you all! xxx 

I gape at him and just freeze like the many times I have done recently.

"So how do you know which school this person goes to if you don't even know who he is?" I ask curiously.

"The last person set on this mission was someone from XM and unfortunately he died because someone found out about what we are trying to do, so they terminated him. He was going through records and video tapes to find any disruptions that could lead us somewhere, however all he found out was that there were links all towards WaterStone Highschool. This may sound very scary and confusing to you Elora, but right now we really need you to focus and try and get this done. We need all eight of you together as soon as possible." he ends with a hopeful look in his eyes.

I think about everything he's telling me and begin to wonder if I even have to go through any of this. "What happens if I don't want to do anything? And if I just want to go back to my life how it was?"

"Elora, this isn't a prison so you can do whatever you want, however, think about this. XM is the only place that can help you control your powers and I don't think you will ever have you normal life if you don't know how to master your skill. Elora you have been given a gift, and I know there is so much more to explain, but without you, things could become disastrous."

Honestly I really don't know what made me agree to this crazy mission but something in my gut told me I had to. There are so many things I don't know and my life has suddenly drastically changed within the past few days and I have no idea where it's taking me. After agreeing with Max and him thanking me, I decided to walk around.

There were loads of men and woman in business suits professionally walking around with determined looks upon their faces. This organisation whatever it was, was pretty big. There were possibly 5 spacious floors with different sections and rooms scattered around the place. I push open a door and see a science room with people in white lab coats concentrating on their investigations. I wonder what this place even does.

I venture through other parts and come across loads of different rooms with another bunch or professional looking people concentrating on whatever they were doing. I soon come across a massive gym-like room with a load of all the expensive workout machines on one side of the room and a big matted space on the other. I walk wound and then notice another big room with lasers pointing at Taylor. Every time a laser beam points in her direction she turns invisible until it is off her. I'm guessing this is another training room, and she's probably trying to improve her transition speed. As I watch her fierce eyes never losing concentration, my train of thought starts to wonder. If my power is really mind reading then it's really important that I control it, because if I start hearing millions of voices in my head randomly, things will get bad and people will think I'm crazy.

I then start thinking about my old life again and still can't believe what's happening. I'm literally so confused as to what is going on that I decide to take one step at easing my brain. I need to speak with my parents.

I go to the main entrance and ask for directions to Max's office, and a sharp looking lady kindly points me towards it.

I knock on the door before stepping in.

"Elora? Is everything ok?" Max asks, while looking up from some files.

"I need to speak with my parents." I say firmly, because he needs to know that I ain't doing shit for him if he isn't going to follow up simple requests.
