Gifted

Chapter 24

Clara's POV

"Mind control?" I whisper. Mark noddsand signals for me to follow him. We crawl underneath the bleachers until we come closer to the group of mind-controlled Gifteds.

"Miss. R figured G.G would pull something like this," Mark whispers.

"Miss. R predicted this?" I whisper back.

"I guess I should explain," Mark says. His stroy went something like this.

It all started a while ago before Miss. R was a teacher. She used to work for the Governor Glory, predicting the future. It was a fine job until about 2 years ago when she started having terrible visions. Evil, twisted ones; where the Governor Glory used the Gifted children as his personal weapons. Miss. R decided to move here in order to protect us and herself from the Governor Glory. That's when she met Mark when she met him for the first time she had a vision. A vision of where 8 children rose up against the Governor Glory and defeated him. She had the exact same vision when she met Jin, Jose, and Mason.

Jin has a psycic Gift therefore he spent a lot of time with Miss. R, working to master his abilities. In his spare time he intrepted some of Miss. R's visions. He figured that they must have had something to do with the prophecy. So, they began to meet secretly as they were the only ones who knew about the visions Miss. R had.

Then Newton, the spy, discovered a file in Governor Glory's data base. Even though it was blurry, we could almlst make out what it said. It was almost the same one as Miss. R had predicted. We weren't the only ones who knew. That's when Bret and I came in. Miss. R had the same vision with me and Bret had Newton killed.

"What about the mind control?" I ask.

"I guess Miss. R couldn't predict that," Mark whispers. I search the crowd of mind controlled Gifteds. My eyes instantly fly to Mason who sits perfectly straight, still dressed in all black. She's sits in the back corner of the square they sit in.

"We need to save them," I say. Mark looks at me as if I was crazy.

"At least half of those Gifteds are mind controlled. They all listen to the Governor Glory, how do we stand a chance?" he complained.

"You could burst in there with your fire powers and I could shout a battle cry in 14 different languages," I shrug.

"Nice try but I would end up hurting some of the others, even if they are attacking me," he says.

"We could rescue some of them catch them alone and take off whatever's behind their ear, we could get Mason first since she's the most noticable," I suggest pointing towards wear she sits.

"Go ahead I wouldn't mess with her, even if she hasn't mind controlled."

"Fine then I will."

"Do you realize what her Gift is?"

"What is it?"

"Her actual Gift is her idotic memory. Then because she can memorize so much stuff, she became a black belt in 4 different martial arts and knows how to box," Mark explained.

"We can get her together," I declare. Reluctantly Mark agrees and we sneak over towards her place.

"One, two, three," when I hit three I lunge for Mason's mouth. I clasp a hand on top of it while Mark drags her under the bleachers. Mark holds her down as she thrashes trying to cry for help. I struggle to keep my hand firm on her mouth as Mark plucks something from behind her ear. Mark victoriously, holds up a chip he grabbed from behind ear and Mason quits struggling.
