The Gifted

Chapter 3- Maze of Halls

Ther rest of the plane ride was (thankfully) uneventful. We arrived at about 14:30.

When we were told the plane had landed, I was the first one off, clinging to the far wall. I then waited for my friends and parents, who came off a minute later. We then proceeded to go to the car rental place to rent a Sonata that looked the same as the one my mom had previously owned. We soon arrived at our 'house'.

However, this was a house on a whole other scale.

When we walked in, I couldn't believe my eyes. There were so many rooms you could get lost, and each one was so big you could have a pet elephant and still have plenty of room for yourself. There was a small screened in pool that was accessible from a door in the living room. The living room had a couch, a flat screen tv, and a glass coffee table. But none of that compared to my favorite room.

They had told me to take a survey to customize the house, but I had not expected this.

I opened the door to the game room and almost passed out. There were all the modern games and consoles like the HTC Vive X and the game Warlords V (a game about World War IV), some of the old ones (from my parents childhood) like Xbox Z1, and then some super old ones like the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and Mortal Kombat X. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw the next things. They were so rare and expensive that they were almost impossible to get. But there they were.

They were practically prehistoric.

There was an NES, a gameboy, and three different kinds of DS's, and to top it all off...

Every. Pokemon. Game. EVER.

I also took time to appreciate the Wii, Wii U, and old computer games that appeared to be popular in the 2000s.

But there was still one thing left to discover. A computer that contained the name and history of every youtuber. I began to look up names that sounded a little familiar, then I started just scrolling through the computer.

It was 6:00 when I finally went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning at 11:30, my thoughts were fuzzy. I walked out into the hall and tried to remember my way. Right, left, left again, right... or was it right right left right? Great. Wonderful. Just fantastic.

"Mom? Mackenzie? Harper?... Guys? I got lost," I called to no one in particular. Soon I found Harper in a room in some random hallway that I had wandered into.

"Oh thank god I found you, Sylver! I was just looking fir Mackenzie and I got lost!" Harper said. I sighed.

"Great. We're both-" I looked past her at a somewhat familiar doorway. "There!" I shouted. "I can smell the bacon!" I dashed through the house and into the dining room. Yes! I heard footsteps follow me.

"Oooh, bacon!" Harper said.

After we had all finished breakfast, we watched some tv in the living room.

"Oh, by the way," my mom began, "The three boys that rode on the plane with you set up to have the other Gifted members meet them at a place in town for pizza."

I hesitated. "And?"

"I told them you would go."

I choked on my water. "What?!"

"Well, I figured you should get to know everyone!"

I sunk in my chair. "They're from Rosewood, Mom. I'm pretty sure even the water is better there."

"Don't look so upset! Tyler and Tiffy said they might go to!"

I perked up a little. "Well at least there's that."

"Chelsea and Jordan are gonna be there too, though."

I sank back down. "Oh god."

Hey guys! I know it's super short but trust me, the next one is a long, hilariously embarrassing trip!

Peace,

Love,

Bye!
