The Forgotten

chapter 11 puzzle pieces

As they all gathered into the walk way of the home Alice was waiting for an answer. "Hello boys do you guys think someone saw me climb through the window of the cabin, can someone have seen the three of us inside the cabin?" Alice says

Johnathan eager to answer shouted out "no of course not everyone in the school doesn't wake up until 6 in the morning, you climbed in the window at four o'clock, it's not possible for someone to have seen you, everyone was fast asleep. You climbed through the window two hours prior.

"Well, I hope you're right about that because I have other things to be worrying about. For instance I should be focused on making a plan to prove to the memwards I am not a rebel, but instead I'm here inside of this weird home. Aye, Chris I still want my answers so since we are going to be here for a while get answering them, please." Alice says

Johnathan is listening very closely now, as Chris opens his mouth to speak.

" you guys might want to have a seat while I'll explain." Chris says

They all walked into the living room, and had a seat on the couch. "This is how it all started" Chris began

"I remember this as if it was just the other day, I had just turned 11 years old, do you guys remember what I got for my birthday? I got a new backpack remember, well long story short I put all my school books in it, and took it with me to the town square to show if off... but I ended up leaving the backpack there when I left and had to go to school the next day book less and upset about the lost of my new backpack. I was punsished." Chris continues.

"Who punished you and what happened?" Alice says

"I was punished by one of the Elders his name is Henry Gilson. He had beaten me so bad that he broke one of my legs." Chris says

"Did that happen when your mom said you had a serious case of the flu and you didn't come back to school till a month later?" Johnathan said

"Well yes, he didn't just stop there he kept going on and on. This went on until... until he found out about all of us he wanted something... Something we could give to him I guess.

"What do you mean he found out about the three of us" Alice said

Mr. Gilson became aware of their unque gifts, one day when he walked up to Chris to mess with him... It was before school started, Chris was in the school parking lot.

As Mr. Gilson walked toward Chris he saw him move a girl around a puddle on the ground. He moved her around it because it was a down power line from the storm that took place the night before. Mr. Gilson wondered how he knew that the girl would walk through the puddle. Curious he watched Chris very closely that day.

He noticed more and more that Chris reacted automatically on a timer, he sees him all day long constantly watching his watch and preventing possible students deaths and injuries. The next day its the same and the next,and so on.

But in the midst of watching Chris he also was watching Johnathan and Alice he noticed how they too was unique. Alice had a notepad she would draw in and every thing she drew eventually came true in the same week.

Once she drew the principle drowning at the town's only hotel. She drew every detail about how the entire incident took place, from the beginning to the end.

Mr. Gilson also watched Johnathan as well he watched him being unaware of his full emotions towards Alice he was always drawn to Alice when she felt sad, or needed anything, he would run to her rescue. He did anything for her his connection to her appeared stronger than love, to Mr. Gilson, because it was.

Alice wasn't innocent herself she can draw and see her visions way before it takes place, but without Johnathan by her side she couldn't have, something about Johnathan made her gift work, being around him made her powerful.
