The G.I.F.T. academy chapter6

Hey guys!  

Sorry I didn't write this sooner I've been really busy (being lazy.) But I it's here now!  

Enjoy!  

The next time I woke up I hear flipping of papers. I turn my head to see Devin sitting beside me flipping through papers. When he notices me staring he looks up, turns his head and smiles at me. His hazel eyes beaming Saying "you're finally awake. 2 days." "You can move around now. Oh and this-"he waved his hand around the room "-will be your new room. Because, I'm positive that you're going to join us" he said.

He smiled at me. I didn't smile back. Just laid there staring at the papers in his hands. I slowly tore my gaze away from the papers and looked in his eyes. "You'll love it here." I snorted, but not because of what his eyes said (or pretended to.) I snorted at the real message that he was hiding from me, "Your parents gave these to me. They're about you."  

"Ya and I am a princess" I say and turn around, my back facing him. He sighed. "You're as stubborn as your father." He said something else like "but you are" but, I ignored it. A few minutes later, I heard his footsteps descending until I couldn't hear them anymore. After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling (making sure that he wasn't still anywhere near the room) I got out of the bed and stretched. I moved quietly across the room, making it look like I was just looking around the room. When I got to the door frame I counted to three (just to calm my nerves) then peeked out into the hallway. My heart started pounding in my ears making everything go silent except for it.  

No one was in the hall. But just because you can't see them doesn't mean that they aren't there. I took a deep breath ready to bolt out of this room and go look for Marcus when I hear it. That little cough that made my heart skip a beat. Love can make you do crazy things.

I walked completely out of the room not caring who saw me just wanting to get to Marcus as fast as I could. "He would be perfect for our experiment" said a deep voice. I stopped just in time before my head would have popped into the room and pushed myself against the wall. Straining to get closer to Marcus (and to hear what they were talking about.) "But he doesn't have a gift! What would that do to the others? We can't risk it."The voice who said this was softer yet very stern it sounded like....Devin's. I pressed my lips together and balled my hands into fist. Trying to calm myself down before I did anything I would regret.

"But what if it makes him stronger? Better? What if-""What if it becomes uncontrollable? Like I said before, we cannot risk it" Devin said cutting the other man off. I moved closer to the door frame and made sure I was still out of sight. In times like these I wish I had the gift of a chameleon (so that I could be invisible.) "Keith, we have a lot of gifts to form into one. We need to focus on them because we need to know everything we can before we do anything" said Devin moving closer to the door frame. My eyes widen but, I didn't waste any time. I moved quietly but as fast as I could back to my room.

I got to my room just before Devin saw me (or at least I hoped so.)He didn't come into my room and attacked me trying to get out what I knew about what they were saying (which I knew almost nothing.) When I knew it was ok to breathe I went to the bed. What were they talking about? They were of course talking about Marcus and how he doesn't have a gift. But what do they mean about forming a lot of gifts into one? My head was starting to hurt from all of these questions. But all I wanted to do was go and get Marcus out of there. And fast. After a few minutes of planning my escape I fell asleep. When I woke up I felt awful and drunk. I didn't fall asleep. I got drugged. My body felt numb so, I just laid there trying to get my body to start working when I blacked out.

When I woke up again dark eyes were staring down at me. She jumped when she realized that I was awake. But not before I read her eyes. "My, she's beautiful. I have to wake her up for dinner. I wonder if she's the one all of the employees are talking about." At that moment, my stomach rumbled. I haven't eaten for some time (since Devin said that I was out for 2 days.)

"Um. Dinner is ready, I'll show you where the dining room is" she said moving to the door way. I let her say this out loud because she didn't look like one of us at all. Just a regular black hair, brown skinned, black eyes cleaning lady. I got out of the bed, stretched, and then followed her into a long hallway. "I'm Hilda by the way. And you must be Cecilia Kalivana" she said when we reached a room with double doors. She opened them and my eyes widened.

When Devin said I should join them, I thought it was going to be 100 other kids too. Not this many, not around 600. (Even though it's nowhere near the number of students at the G.I.F.T. academy but it was still something.) Hilda nodded her head her head, "Hurry the fuck up! I have things to do!" said her impatient eyes. I gulped and walked in.

For a spy I wasn't a good one. My whole body was shaking even though no one even looked in my direction. That is until I made it to the middle of the room. Everything stopped. The eating, the talking, everything. I hesitated. Not sure if I should keep going (to some place where I could sit) or if I should turn around and run (but that wouldn't work because there were guards everywhere.)  

"Come and sit here with us Cecilia" said an old man with short grey hair and grey eyes. Devin was right beside him nodding his head. "Come on. We won't try to kill you" said Devin's eyes. I scanned the room letting my gaze fall on a girl with red hair and green eyes. And when it did, I instantly regretted it.

"You fuckin bitch! You haven't been here for a whole day and your already sitting with the teachers!" not only did her eyes say that but, they were furious. (I guess she wanted to sit with them for some time now.) I pressed my lips together and started walking to where the old man and Devin were sitting. Keeping my eyes on the floor the whole time.

When I reached their table, the old man smiled at me. "I finally get to meet you, Cecilia Kalivana. I've waited almost 5 years to meet you" he said with happiness in his voice. I sat across from him and nodded my head pretending to care (when really, I was trying to see where there might be a place to escape from. So far, there were none.) My eyes widened when I realized what he just said. He waited 5 years to meet me?!?! But, I don't think he saw the shock on my face because he kept on going. "All because of a misunderstanding" he said this part with a lot of sadness.

I squinted at him. Trying to read his eyes. (If they're not looking right at me it's harder for me to read. But I can still read them.) And I read him perfectly. "They thought that I was going to kill you!" I gulped. Feeling uncomfortable being near a man my parents wouldn't let me meet because they thought he was going to kill me. (And from what I heard from before, they might be killing us all.)

"But anyway, I hope you like the food" he said and smiled at me. I stared at his eyes not looking at my food at all. Was it poisoned? Should I eat it? But all I got was, "My name is Harold. I am 71 years old. I'm a loner (ok fine, he didn't say that exactly but that's what he pretty much said.) When I finally tore my gaze away from Harold, I looked down at my food. It was steak with mashed potatoes, veggies, pop, and a salad. (There were other things but I only picked the thing I liked.)

When I was finished, I went to my room. I lay down on my new bed. And the only thing I could think about was Marcus. The more I don't see his face, his smile, and his gorgeous, blue eyes the more I worry about him. But now that I was thinking about him, it got me thinking more about what I overheard Keith and Devin talking about. 'We have to form a lot of gifts into one.' What was that supposed to mean? As this some kind of experiment like in the xmen? I shook my head. Not wanting to think about it anymore. I didn't know what to do or how to act. Should I act kind and innocent so that they will let their guard down giving me a chance to get away from here? Well, one thing I knew for sure was that I couldn't let my guard down. Not even for a second.

Thanks for reading!
