Reanimated: The Round Table Chronicles 1

Testing Day

“Come here” said Miracle as Marshall buried his face in her shoulder and started crying

“Thank you Marshall” said Macrame

“Hang on, first things first I'm fixing his face” said Stacey

Stacey past his hand over Marshall's face and the blood magically receded back into the cuts, then the cuts closed.

Sawyer, Radieze, Asher and Roger entered the shop.

“You alright bro?” asked Sawyer

Marshall nodded as he wiped tears from his eyes.

“Come on you can stay here tonight and tomorrow we'll go to VU together and that's final!” said Macrame

“Oh and one more thing my names not Macrame anymore” said Penelope

Marshall looked up.

“It's”

“PENELOPE” they said together

The Next Day

When Marshall awoke the next day everyone was ready.

“Coffee or Tea?” asked Carmel

“TEA WITH LEMON TWO SUGARS!” said Marshall and Penelope together

“God, married much” said Stacey

Penelope and Marshall giggled. After a cup of tea and a bow of cereal later. Marshall and the crew walked towards the teeming VU campus.

Inside the teachers were assembling for the testing.

“Dominic their ready” said an aide

*

“Welcome students, new and old. For some you are leaders, for others you are followers” Dominic said “Newbies please come forward”

Marshall along with a hundred other students gathered at the front of the Long Hall.

The Long Hall is Gothic with vaulted ceilings glass tables with oak chairs and five places spaced in the room. Students A – R ran smooth then it was-

“Marshall Lorenzo Scarborough or Scott” said Dominic

“Scarborough” said Marshall stepping forward

“Teachers when your ready” said Dominic

The five professors placed one of each of the spacial on a pedestal.

Marshall moved the water over to the fire as a telekinetic shock tried to break into his mind, he forced it out.

“Come on” said Marshall

Boom! The pedestals exploded

“Excellent!” said Dominic

“Come fourth Marshall” said Dominic

Marshall nervously stepped up to the table and watched as the remaining Newbies tested their power.

“Use your mind” said a voice “Can you adapt?”

“I don't know” said Marshall in his mind

The final student was dubbed a fire vamp and joined the fire class.

“Bring fourth the crossbow!” thundered Dominic

Suddenly Darrin stood and Dominic forced him down. A crossbow appeared, a voice rang in Marshall's head

“Adapt your powers to destroy the crossbow”

Marshall built up the power in his two hand as the crossbow drew back.

Twang went the bow. As it rocketed past the tables

“Equilibrium!” thought Marshall as he released the power feeling as they equaled each other

Then tired and weak he collapsed.

His conscience mind still alive heard everything.

“Dean Master Dominic he's not a vampire!” said Darrin

“What do you mean?” said Dominic

“Vamps don't bleed” said Darrin

Suddenly Marshall felt powerful like a full quiver of arrows had been stuffed in his arms.

“I'll prove it!” said Darrin

Suddenly Marshall's eyes flew open and he threw Darrin against the wall, then he balled his hands and an arrow flew out of his wrists and stopped just inches from piercing Darrin's skin.

“Stop Marshall” said Penelope

The arrow vanished as Darrin fell along with a very unconscious Marshall.

“It's time” thought Dominic
