The secrets of a twisted war

Deja Vu and more egos.

Dancing to the sound of silence

Once again, Amy woke up to that familiar blinding light in her eyes, however only one visitor. Sat on a small armchair next to her bed was a passed out Jack. Amy glanced around the room and noticed Mark in a bed just a few feet away. Taped to her bed was a note:

Dear Amy, we have done this for your own safety, you aren't safe in the normal world any more, so we have sent you, and your friends, to a place where you can act normal, but we warn you, this world is more ruthless than any other, and full of dictators.

Love from Mum, Dad, and Grandad Nelson

Cautiously, she ripped the tubes from her arms and limped over to Mark's bed. She sat at the foot of his bed as she watched him stir, his hair flickering from red to black and his eyes twitching every few seconds. She tried to remember what happened but her mind was blank. The last thing she remembered was confessing her feelings to Mark and black mist engulfing the room. The hospital ward contained 3 beds with an armchair beside each of them, a bedside table with a few syringes, and the walls plastered with the usual hospital posters. Mark lay passed out in the bed closest to the door, Amy's bed which was now empty was beside Mark's, and there was a third bed closest to the window. In the third bed was a young girl, her short brown hair covering her pallid tear-stained face. She stirred for a few minutes and awoke to Amy hovering her bed studying her features. "Sorry, It's just, I have never seen another girl my age on this base," Amy smiled. "Oh, um, this Isn't the military base, I'm Signe by the way, Signe Hansen," Signe replied groggily. "This looks an awful lot like the base hospital that's all, I'm Amy, Amy Nelson," Amy replied yawning mid-sentence. "I know your wondering where we are, this is S.S.F.M.U.A, a special school for misunderstood unique abilities," Amy's eyes grew wider the more Signe explained. " Why am I here?" Amy asked. "Well, this school is a school for people with rare abilities, built in the land of Tirachia, it was made in 7000 BCE, for the Keelens and the Kjellberg's, and now, its used for special misunderstood children, who have all kinds of abilities," Signe replied. Amy was still in shock, she had told Mark of her feelings which he returned, and now they were in a school for children with extraordinary abilities, she didn't really class her curse as an ability. "Why are you here then?" Amy asked Signe, a confused look on her face, Signe seemed like a normal girl. "I can read minds, currently, you are thinking about that boy over there, and why are you here," Amy blushed out of embarrassment and avoided eye contact with Signe. "Also, why are you in hospital?" Amy asked trying to change the subject. "I know you're trying to change the subject, but I don't mind, oh, I'm in here because of a stupid teacher named Miss Trelawney," Amy nodded. "Long story short, I was in a lesson of mind control, trying to learn how to stay out from peoples minds, and as she has all of the abilities on this base, she read my mind started sending disturbing thoughts into my head forcing me to pass out," Signe said her eyes starting to tear up. "If you don't mind me asking, what were these thoughts?" Amy asked patting Signe's back to comfort her. "She showed me images of war, coincidentally or not, it looked like a darker version of you fighting Mr Kjellberg's son, Felix Kjellberg, you had Mark and Jack at your sides, and they also looked darker," Signe said her tears starting to disappear. "Oh, oh no, Signe this is bad if you hadn't noticed already, my 'ability' is having alter-egos, my ancestors were the Keelens, and my family and the Kjellberg's have been arch enemies for millions of years, what exactly are Miss trelawney's abilities?" Amy rambled."Well, she has hundreds of abilities but her main ones are; thought projecting, mind reading, and she can see the future, she has hundreds of abilities except one, alter-egos," Signe muttered. "What if that thought she showed you was real?" Amy asked. "It's a pos-" Signe tried to say before being interrupted by Mark shooting up from his bed and landing on the floor. Amy ran to Mark's side and looked at his cold flailing body twitching on the tile floor. "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" Signe screamed. "Take my hand, NOW Signe, NOW!" Amy screeched. Signe latched herself onto Amy's arm before the room was filled with red smoke which left Signe coughing. After the blood-red mist faded, Signe could see Amy sat on the edge of her bed, swinging her feet, her black heels clicking off the plastic bed frame. Signe knew this wasn't Amy, but more appropriately, her crazy ego. Amy hopped from the bed and began pacing up and down the room, her black heels clopping and clicking along the tile floor. Her pink curled hair followed gracefully behind her as she twirled around, the ruffles of her pink dress expanding. Signe who was absolutely mesmerised by Amy's ego didn't notice a smiling Mark sat on the edge of his bed. He, similar to Amy, had shown his crazy ego, who was wearing a pink suit and a black tie. He stepped from his bed and walked toward Amy bowing as she curtseyed, and they began dancing to the sound of silence. If anyone would have walked in they would think they were dreaming, in the centre of the room was two crazy alter-egos slow dancing to the sound of Jack's snoring and a beeping heart monitor, a sleeping boy, and a girl just watching in awe. However, the sweet moment was cut short as Mr Kjellberg burst through the doors, making the smoke return and leaving Amy and Mark normal once more. "Children, welcome to S.S.F.M.U.A, you will be sent to your dorms in a few moments, I hope you will all be pleased to hear you will be sharing a dorm, a nurse will be here in a few minutes to explain what has happened and give you a tour of our school, you will be situated here till you are 18, and will be released once you have learned to control your 'powers'," He stated before giving a crooked smile and exiting the room. "You guys are gonna have to give me and Jack a good explanation as to why your egos were slow dancing to no music in a hospital room," Signe said looking at Jack who had just woke up as they all laughed.
