Chapter 13 - The Discovery

Pov. Kendra

"... and this is Jaydan, our tech-guy. I think you won't remember all the names, but with the time you'll know everyone."

I look at her in disbelief. She just said 20 names, and not particularly easy ones. I sighed. Yay, welcome to my life, learning names out of my head AND remembering the person whom the name is. I'm not good in remembering names you know? Or remembering what I did last week. That's a real disaster for me. You could ask me what I ate last night and I'd have to think about 5 minutes before I can remember it. When I was little I didn't have that, but since everything got stressy it started. Not cool. Well, for other people it's maybe really funny to see, because my face can get real weird when I have to think back. And after that I always want to eat. Shit. I want to eat right now. Why did I have to think about food?

I suddenly see a hand in front of my face and jump back, which causes me to crash against Lucas and well, you can guess it, ofcourse we fall on the ground. Let's go and hug the cold, hard ground! The best thing I've ever done in my entire life.😬

I get up and look around me, trying to find out who's hand I saw. Right in front of me a boy stands with a sheepish laugh on his face.
I raise one eyebrow and look at him, like I'm supersmart. Nah, I think I look intimidating, because with every second that passes he looks more and more insecure.

"Are you the person that scared me, which caused me to jump back and hug the floor? Because I didn't like it! Even though this isn't the first time I hug the floor."
I hear people laugh softly.
The boy, I seriously don't remember his name, looks at me.

"Yeah, sorry for that, but you looked like you were far gone."

I look at him, smiling.

"Okay. However, what was your name again?" I ask the curly brown haired boy that's standing in front of me.

"The name's Max." He smiles a bit while answering.

"Good to know Max. If I forget your name it'll be Curly though." The crowd standing behind him laughs and I turn around, ready to explore this building.

"She is planning on payback, better watch your back. She is master of payback, you're in serious trouble now." I hear Lucas say behind me.
Payback? Me? Nah... ofcourse not.😈
Maybe I'm going to scare the hell out of him in the middle of night, but nothing more. Or I'll throw water at him while he is sleeping. There are so many things I can do! I'm already having fun about it.

I walk away, lost in my thoughts. Everything is so weird. I am a Protector, but right now I'm still a Wanderer, because I didn't find the other Protectors? How many Protectors exist? Are they here or all over the world? I don't know. I don't know anything. And why was Lucas hanging on the wall when I got in that room? Where am I? I guess I'll find out someday, but right now my whole life is a question.

When I look around I notice that I am lost in this immense building. Great. Well, I guess that looking around can't hurt.

I walk through a big, but really big, hall. It's not the same wall that I saw earlier.
This wall is all black with intense blue stripes through it, like the stripes are vains. I follow one of the vains with my finger and it feels like it is curved in the wall. Almost like it could be a pattern, but that's probably just my imagination.

I continue walking, looking at how the colors of the different walls are completely in another way made. Why would anyone do something like this? Did he, or maybe she, have to much time or what. It's really impressive to see though, walls with all kind of colors and patterns. Just like the building isn't a building, but a puzzle that needs to be fixed. An immense puzzle though.
