The Last Moreau

Chapter 10: A fateful evening

"It's okay, you can open your eyes now " he said. I opened my eyes to take a peek around. He had brought me to an old abandoned factory god knows where had he just kidnapped me ? Why had he brought me to a place like this? Come to think of it I had developed an attraction for a stranger a barely knew. I should know better than to trust a guy who is not normal. He might have even staged everything himself.

"Come on let's get inside" He said. "No ..." I started I'm not going in there until you tell me why you brought me here .Oh and also I need to know who and what you are. You still haven't even told me your name since day one" I said pointing my finger at him.

He stared at me as if I was stupid. "Well I can see that you are very slow in thinking. Normally when a person talks to someone new they would at least ask for a name. And you should also now by now that I'm not like everyone else and neither are you Jennifer." He finished gruffly.

"I'm sorry ... but it's not like we had met under normal circumstances for me to have been able to ask your name." "True" he agreed. "You also forgot to ask how I know your name since you never told me." He smiled mischievously I opened my mouth but no words came out.

"Come ..." he said "You can trust me ... I won't hurt you ... but there are some people I'd like you to meet" he said indicating towards the abandoned factory from nowhere.

We went inside and found it to be very dark. I held on to his shoulder afraid some soul sucking thingy might return. "We are here. I 've brought her with me.:" he shouted.

Just then fire illuminated from nowhere .I took a step back and bumped into something.

When I turned around I saw a teenage girl with brown hair and black eyes stare back at me.

In front of me were two more men: One boy in his early twenties with unkempt hair and lanky frame. He was looking at me intently but not with curiosity as if we had met before. Next to him was a bulky man with a shaved head and a noticeable dragon tattoo on his right bicep. He too showed no inclination of a person meeting someone new for the first time.

"My name is Nathaniel Walters." My knight finally introduced himself. Behind you is April Johnson. And in front of you ... the two gentlemen are Zachary Burns and Isaac Newman."

I nodded looking at them just as the teenage girl came to stand in front of me as well.

Each were dressed differently. Nathaniel was dressed as if he was a detective at a crime scene .. wearing a blue buttoned coat and cap complete with gloves and black pants.

April wore a printed blue jean and navy blue plain top. Zack wore a white t shirt with a blue blazer and jeans. Isaac wore blue sleeveless shirt and khaki pants.

I almost smirked when I said "what's this anyway ... ? Is today's theme blue?"

"No ... it is not. It is the color we identify with as Moreau's said a voice .I turned to my right and almost gasped at what I saw.

I saw a shadow become larger in the dim light and then the place became suddenly bright and I saw candles light up everywhere.Wait ... where did these candles come from ?.

She conjured them of course .. said a voice in my head. I looked around and Zach seemed to nod at me.

I saw in front of me a pale skinned woman with reddish hair and red lips.Her eyes were a dark green. She was a tall curvy woman. But that's not made me green with envy the most.When she spoke her voice pitched at a high note almost as if she was singing.

It sounded angelic and warm.

Such a dainty looking woman wearing a formal tee and a knee length skirt with glasses hiding those eyes .. I thought .. why did she dress as if she is on business.

We are on business .We have a job to do at the moment. That's why you are here said Zach reading my mind.

"Me ? what does this have to do with me ?"I asked shocked.

"The reason we made you come today is because you are one of us." said Isaac.

"You are not a normal human being .. your ancestry is not normal. You are part of a bloodline which consists of a wide range of masters of magic." He finished.

"You are a Moreau...."

"A Moreau ? what's that ? I asked getting confused.

"It is the name given to the lineage of people who are master magician's of the mind."

"Each group who are master's at each kind of magic have different name's. This is because they are named after the first magician to conjure such magic" April explained.

"I suddenly felt a knot twist in my stomach. Okay this did not sound well .. Either these people are bat shit crazy or I was dreaming.

I pinched my self hard .. Nope not dreaming .. Oh god why did this have to happen to me.

Great it's bad enough my everyday life is a mess , now there was something new to complicate it further .I'm officially a freak show too now.

"We are all freak's " Zach's voice echoed in my mind. I looked at him and he smirked.

"What you don't know is that the world is filled with 50 percent of them."

"The thing about a Moreau is that you could pass them on busy street and unless you were awakened you would never know that they are a Moreau but in turn if they were awakened they would know if you were one just by feeling your energy." "Only Moreau's can know if another person is a Moreau because only a Moreau can sense another Moreau's energy" Zach explained.

"Okay so someone else here is a Moreau ? " I asked .

Zach shook his head. "No nobody here is .. but I can read your mind which can make me guess if you are a Moreau .. I can read your past and present and know if you had shown symptoms of being a Moreau" he said almost with an air of pride. "My bloodline is of Mekkan's .They have the ability to travel through time and read minds.

"What about the rest of you guys ? " I asked now brimming with curiosity.

"I come from the lineage of Liyon's .. we have the ability to teleport and create fire" said Nathan."April comes from the lineage of Magda , she can communicate with any soul on any plane .. be it this or the astral. Isaac from Gondir's and they have the ability to be as strong as ten men and create shock waves. And Renee comes from Lixon's she has the ability to alter reality to a small extent in her favor.

There are of course other group's.The Angorans are dark and beings of pure evil. They come in may forms and are known to cause fear and destroy a soul's balance and at times even consume them. The more they take the more they change."

"Then there are the Ingurs who do not have any abilities .They are the normal people.

Lastly there are the Omiq's .These are the people who can never be classified. They can have power's not one or two abilities but many. They can have any kind of power and they always show up unexpectedly .One would consider them as harbringer of good luck.

Because in our world, during the most important events in history their intervention is what helped us to survive. There were so many prophecies that have been mentioned about them

For example Ylandir helped save the city of Azora when Xaxer tried to to conquer it and promote slavery. Ylandir had very special power's of course ,having the ability to control the weather and heal people and control people's thoughts. He manipulated Xaxer into thinking that the city was nothing more than barren wasteland with no populace.

This of course lead Xaxer to attacking Dimitri's kingdom which lead to his defeat and death.

Now if Ylandir hadn't intervened then Xaxer would not have traveled to Xondura and get killed by Dimitri. Everything that happens in our world is not a coincidence.

Each and every event is like a domino that will lead to what's destined to happen. He finished.
