I get a gut feeling this is not going to be good news.

Xavier's POV

The wall parts to reveal what looks like an elevator. It is similar to the size of the elevators at the airports. However, it is nothing like I have seen before. It is absolutely breath taking. The floor is covered in a plush carpet which looks so soft I want to take off my shoes and walk on it. The carpet is white but it looks like the richest white I have ever laid my eyes on. The walls are made of gold. REAL gold.

The creepy lady steps in. I cautiously follow her inside. The others follow my lead. They all look just as confused and worried as I am. Everyone except Andria. She looks like she is concentrating very hard on something. I can already tell that she has probably thought up about a 100 possibilities of what is about to happen and countered them already in her mind. Nerd.

I look at the elevator numbers which appear to made out diamonds. And they are in a language I don't understand-it looks like Roman though. The numbers suddenly start changing and turn into English ones. That probably means that the last person to be on this was Roman. This place never seizes to surprise me.

The lady doesn't press a number. Instead she pulls out a golden card and swipes it beside the numbers. Suddenly the numbers start changing and start looking like symbols. More buttons start appearing. A WHOLE lot of buttons. After the whole wall is covered with buttons, she goes and presses about 20 of them. What the hell is WRONG with this lady? Does she plan of keeping up in this thing forever?

The door slide close and we feel a tug. It feels like when I went to the CN Tower and took the elevator up the 150 stories--- except at the speed of light. We are going so fast I can't even move a finger nail. I feel my lunch coming up. We some to a sudden stop that makes us all jump a foot in the air.

Note to self: Next time take the stairs.

The lady looks completely well as she walks out of the elevator as soon as we come to stop. She doesn't have a hair out of place. Weird.

I follow her out after I feel my lunch going back down. The others follow me. I take a look around. We are walking on the same carpet that was found in the elevator. Speaking of which--- I hear the elevator close behind me. I turn around to find a golden wall replace where the elevator doors should have been. The wall has a symbol on it. A symbol I recognize as the symbol of ZION. The Sun. I have heard that this symbol is etched on every teacher's and every permanent member of the Institute's body as a reminder of their loyalty.

I turn around to take a look at this place once again. We are at the beginning of a hallway. The lady is quiet ahead of us. The hallway has windows on both sides all the way along. It shows clouds and a little of the ocean underneath it. The whole hallway looks breathtaking. I follow the lady. She stops after a while in front of one of the windows. "Right this way." She says, pointing to the window. When I make no move to knock myself onto the window, she steps towards it herself. She puts on foot--- wait---did it just go THROUGH the window? She slowly puts her whole body through the window and disappears. I hear Nick stifle a gasp beside me. I feel just as flabbergasted. Andria pushes past me giving me an annoyed glace and goes through. Well, it is not so easy to walk through a window which shows CLOUDS on the other side. But if a SHE can do it, why can't I?
