The Forbidden Room

Sydney

I opened my eyes and bright light blind me. I squinted until my eyes adjusted to the light.
I was in a group hospital room so there was several beds lined up in rows. I was right next to a open window and there was a slight breeze making me a tiny bit chilly in my short sleeves.
I was the only one in the room besides an other girl. We exchanged glances.
"I'm Sydney" I say
"Courtney"
"So how'd you end up in here?"
"I got shot by a taser and it messed up something. I'm not exactly sure the doctors are still checking it out."
She smiled back at me. "How about you? How'd you get in here?"
"I broke my ankle and lost consciousness because I used a power I wasn't ready for and so it knocked me out."
"What gift do you have?"
"Actually it's not gift, it's gifts, I have more then one. I have agility, super smarts, and wishes"
"Oh cool I've heard of that wishes gift but I didn't know anyone had it. I actually unlocked a second gift this year"
"What gifts do you have now?"
"I can turn invisible and I can sense danger."
"Cool"
"I'm moving into a new cabin since I have a new power so I need higher level classes."
"Do you know what cabin?"
"Mr. Timothy told me Yeti Cave."
"No way, that's my cabin! And I just want to add that they have the strangest cabin names here. I think I saw one that said Tigers are Ants."
"Ya I-" she stopped as a nurse walked in.
"I'm so glad your up. Ryan's been up for awhile now and we have already given him the okay to go. Well need to give you an X-Ray." She said putting a thin cloth on my leg and hovering a machine over the top. "Done"
"How'd you get the X-Ray done so soon?"
"I'm a nurse not an engineer." She said grabbing a lap top. "Yes your ankle is broken. No worries just eat the fruit and your ankle will be healed by the end of the day. You'll need a brace so that you can walk though, so I will be right back will those and for the moment you can just rest." She said leaving the room.
"The technology here is fascinating." I muttered to myself
"What?" Courtney asked
"Oh, nothing."
The nurse can back with a small bag and a brace. "Here eat one of these every hour." She said giving me the bag "And I'll put the brace on you once we give you this shot for the swelling we shouldn't have any more problems" She held up a very long needle. She poked it wright into my ankle and the swelling just disappeared. It was fascinating, kind of gross but fascinating.
The nurse put the brace on me and said "All right that's all you need. Just bring back the brace at the end of the day." She said with a smile and left the room.
"What do I do now?"
"Go."
"But my ankle I won't be able to walk."
"That's what the brace is for. When you ware it you can't even tell that you hurt something. It's super cool."
I got up and walked around the room a bit and just like she said I felt no pain.
"I'd better go but I'll see you later" I said walking out the room. I walked outside. It was a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining and there was a slight breeze making it the perfect temperature. I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe enjoying the beautiful day. I heard the bell for breakfast and I jumped a little. A girl walking past me giggled at me.
I blushed a little but I walked back to my cabin. As I opened the door Aubrey was just coming out.
"Oh hey. There you are I was wondering if you would be joining me."
"Yah, I just have to change my clothes quick."
I walked inside the cabin and pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a pink under armor sweatshirt I had wished for. Then I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and hurried out the door.

********************************
We met Isaac and Jacob at breakfast.
"Where's Ryan?" I ask
Isaac looked straight at me as he talked "Don't know. He never came back after we brought him to the nurses."
"That's weird the nurse told me that he left even before I was up."
We were all silent for a moment.
"Hey did you guys here about what happened last night?" Jacob asked us.
"No." I say
"Me neither" Aubrey said
"Well" began Jacob "Last night it was reported that seven kids lost their powers last night."
"How?"
"We don't know. The kids that lost them don't remember what happened."

********************************
After Breakfast we went straight to the History building.
"I thought Mr. Timothy said it wasn't going to be like school, history sounds a lot like it."
"History's great. You'll love it. It's different then regular history in school." She said giving me a sweet smile.
As we walked in I saw Courtney sitting in one of the desks.
"Hey" I said as I walked up to her at sat in the seat next to hers. Aubrey took the one next to me.
"Who are you?" Aubrey asked
"Courtney."
"Aubrey"
I told Aubrey about how we met in the hospital room.
As class started I noticed Isaac take a seat right behind me.
"I am Mr. Sanders" Mr. Sanders looked about middle aged. His hair graying. His face was clean-shaven. He was tall, thin, and wore a red polo shirt with dark jeans. "Today we are learning about the Jonathan brothers. In case you are new this year all you need to do is where these" he held up what looked like a pair of 3-D glasses that you get from a movie theater. He started passing them out as he continued. "These allow you to experience history but only as an observer. If there aren't any questions I'll begin." When no one raised a hand he walked into a smaller room. "Please put on your glasses at this time." I heard him say through an intercom.
I picked up the glasses and placed them on my face. Immediately the scenery changed. I was inside a castle of some sort in the throne room. I looked around for Aubrey or Courtney but there were gone. I tensed at first but then relaxed myself and watched what was going on.
A man walked up to a person sitting on the throne obviously the king "Sir what are we to do about the Adeds.
Everything froze and a electronic women's voice said "Adeds the neighboring kingdom and the enemy."
Everything continued.
He put his hand to his head and sighed. He was silent for a moment then "bring in the Jonathan brothers."
A moment later two men came back. They were obviously twins. They had long dark hair. With bright blue eyes. They both wore silver armor. The one on the right had a blue cape and the one on the left had a red cape. They held their helmets at their sides.
"Your highness" they said in unison as they bowed before him.
"Stand" said the king. "I have kept this matter a secret for the time being so I do not scare the townsfolk. But the situation is getting quite serious so I must tell you and ask for your help"
"What is the problem" one of the men say
"For some time we have been enemy's to the Adeds, but now they are getting power hungry and want my kingdom. Now they are preparing for war. Their army is much stronger then ours, and if they attack we are sure to be crushed." For a while the king said nothing then. "I have been looking for several options but came up with only one. We must find the lost sword."
Everything froze again and the lady voice came on saying "There was a legend saying that the sword would lead any army to victory and defeat any enemy. It could also be used to restore anything. In their case a wounded solider or destroyed land. It was used once and it worked the men were led to victory but after it was used the sword disappeared and hadn't been found since."
Everything went back to normal and the kind continued. "I want you to go and find the sword. The journey will be very difficult and the dangers great. I would never make you do this by force, so I must ask. Will you search for the lost sword?" The King was practically on his knees.
"I cannot speak for my brother but I would be honored to go on this quest for you." Said the man in the blue cape.
The man in the red said "As would I"
He smiled bright. He got up from his throne, put an arm around both the men and led them out of the room saying "We must get you weapons and supplies-"
I couldn't understand the rest because the scene started to blur and suddenly I was back in the class room. I took the glasses of my face as Mr. Sanders began to talk.
"I'm very sorry class but there seems to have been a glitch in the system. We won't be able to finish our showing."
A chorus of groans went around the room
"But that doesn't mean we won't finish our lesson. The Jonathan brothers gathered their supplies and we're off that very day. The king was right about the journey it is recorded as one of the most difficult trips. The brothers finally found the sword and returned to the king just in time. The king himself led them off to battle and destroyed the Adeds. After the victory the sword disappeared yet again, now it sits somewhere just waiting for someone to find it again. It is thought to be in the same spot as where the brothers found it. Many people have wanted to use the map the that brothers made to find it, but the map is lost, not like the sword is lost, it's just lost."
The bell rang and everyone got up piling out the door.
