Haven

Chapter 2: Elizabeth P.O.V

She ran out of the hallway and when she came back she was holding a book that looked ancient.

"This has the history of all the Protectors; our ancestors."

"The who nows?" I asked

"The Protectors are a small group of people that exist in secret. They protect the world from supernatural occurrences and make sure their kept a secret. When you come of age, 16, you are supposed to be sent to Haven, if you aren't already there, to receive and learn how to use your powers. Since you came of age two years ago I've been trying to protect you from them and keep them away from you. They didn't like you disobeying the rules so they came here for you as a warning. The serum they use is called gemstiten and it can be used in a liquid, solid or vapor form, the most common and easiest way is the liquid."

"What's this Haven place?" Everything my mum was saying sounded like gibberish.

"It's a safe place where the Protectors stay, some go to just learn how to control their powers but most stay and live with the others. It's located on the west coast of America in Santa Cruz, their front is a store on the beach but when other Protectors visit they drop the password in a conversation and are taken to a concealed entrance to Haven"

This was all so much for me to process, leaving home? Going to America?

"You have to go right away," she said interrupting my thoughts,"Ethan has to learn how to control his powers and you have to go with him. Now that they know you know about their existence you have to go wether or not you like it, I can't protect you from them anymore. You have to start packing right away, I'll call them to arrange safe travel for you."

"How can I do anything if I can't control this?" Ethan asked terrified of hurting anyone.

"Oh yes let me get it," our mum said walking into the kitchen and coming back with a cup of tea, "this is a special tea that will temporarily turn off your powers long enough to get to Haven. Now go upstairs and pack your things, I'll call their leader and arrange airplane tickets for today" and with that she started dialing a number on her phone as I started up the stairs.

I turned around and Ethan was still standing in the hallway looking scared out of his skin, staring down into the cup of tea.

"Ethan what's wrong?" I had never in my life seen my brother this scared.

"What if I can never control this? I know I was hurting you when you were helping me. I just wish I knew how to stop it"

"Drink the tea then you should be ok for a little while. When your ready come upstairs, I'll be packing"

With that I went to my room and broke out my suitcases. I opened my closet and grabbed most of my shirts, some pants and some shorts, a couple of dresses, a couple of bathing suits, my sneakers and combat boots, and some other necessities. I started folding my clothes and putting them in my suitcase when I heard a knock at my door.

"Ethan is doing a lot better, he had the tea and is packing. I arranged travel with the leader and you guys need to be ready in 20 minutes, it was tough to fit you in for today but I was able to get you a 6:00 P.M. flight to San Francisco International. I argued with them to get you the best seats and service because you are traveling alone and they sprang it on us without my consent. They will pick you up and take you to Haven but it's going to be a long flight and about an hour drive so you will be tired and jet lagged. You also might want to change into something a little more comfortable than your uniform"

"Thanks mum" I said and she left to go get other things ready.

This was going to be a long trip.
