The Superhumans Trilogy Book 1:The Prophecy

Chapter 3: Fire

☮ Belle ☮

I looked around at everyone as the ceiling started to cave. What was going to happen to us? Were we going to die in here? Grace didn’t wait around to find out as she jumped out of her seat and ran to the door, Luke following close behind her.

“Ugh! The door’s locked!” Grace said irritated while slamming on the door handle. I looked around and saw Savannah look at us all in horror and then jolt to the door.

“No no no! This isn’t happening!” Savannah clicked the door handle multiple times and then eventually ended up throwing herself on it.

“Savannah, calm do-” Luke started but she cut him off with the deadliest glare she could conjure up.

“We’re gonna die in here.” Savannah cried. Oh please, what a drama queen. Someone was gonna come and find us. Then we’ll be free.

Smoke started to come in the room and I couldn’t help but cough and hack. Suddenly reality hit me and I realized, no one was coming. Savannah was right, we were gonna die in here. I looked at everyone in the room again and saw Savannah still banging on the door. I looked at Luke and Grace and they seemed to be comforting eachother and Gabriel was sitting in the seat next to me, leaving a dent in the desk? Before I had time to think about what Gabriel was doing, everything went dark.

I awoke in-what appeared to be the most luxurious room, I have ever seen. I coughed again as my vision came into focus, this was strange. I stretched and felt a silk robe around me. I ran to the large mirror near the empty vanity and saw that I looked as if I had just left the spa. I shook my head, trying to remember what happened before I had fell asleep.

A fire, the fire in school and the smoke had caused me to faint. That still didn’t explain how I had gotten here. I slowly opened the door and peaked outside. Everyone was eating dinner around an oval, mahogany table and I couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong. I slowly went down the stairs, examing everything in the room.

“Hey there, Belle.” I heard Luke say from the table. I turned to face him and he was wearing the most formal clothing I have seen on someone who was eating a chicken leg. I went around the table and sat in the only seat that was available and it was across from a strange man with an eye covered in stone and next to Luke.

“Welcome to my home, Belle.” He said smiling. I narrowed my eyes as I studied his features. He had a tattoo on his arm that looked like a small paragraph. It read:

Five teens will save our world

2 boys and 3-

The man pulled down his sleeve and covered the rest up. I looked at him suspiciously.

“Who are you?” I asked him. He chuckled.

“My name is Jhin Dismer. Most just call me Stone Eye.”
