Tick.....tick......tick. The time is running out. Second by second. Minute by minute. Until my hour is almost up. I'm Teryn Macoy. I'm enrolled at the academy for gifted girls. We are pretty much the most deadly people you will ever meet. I'm 17 years old and have been here since I was 9 years old. I'm at my final examination. The hardest one. The first was colour, to change the colour of anything you touch. The second is shape, the ability to change the form of an object. From then on it is mastering our own powers, weapons and life skills like killing and ways to escape. This last test is the hardest one to pass. It involves using all the knowledge we have received. I have only minutes left to accomplish it. And there done. I finished the final test.
"Congratulations Ms. Macoy. You have successfully completed your final examination. Please go into the waiting room to receive your results. It may take a few minutes for your results to arrive."
I bow to my evaluators and leave the testing room. I follow their instructions and go into a unoccupied waiting room. It took over an hour before I received my results. Way longer than it had taken for the other results from previous tests.
"Ms Teryn Macoy, you have received 100% on your final examination. Please remain in the waiting room for an official to give you further instructions."
I sit back down on the couch as instructed. Before I know it an official is here. I stand up ready to leave but instead feel a sharp pinch at the back of my neck. Then the world is spinning. So fast that I can't control it. And it all goes black.
