VINAL

Chapter Three

      The more the day got on, the more I realized I didn't belong here Miss Lady was being serious, I realized, when she spoke about the halfly human and all that. I still don't understand why Mirina and I were sent here, all these people are.....exceptional! I can't even keep up.
        I moved to my third class, I didn't know what to expect. My day had been full of surprises. I walked into the class and I was late. I couldn't believe it, i was very sure I came according to my time table. I didn't like being new and late, all eyes were on me. Including the teacher. I walked quickly to the only empty seat in the room trying to avoid eye contacts with others. Immediately I sat down, class went back to normal as if nothing had happened. But there was still someone in the class staring at me, I tried to ignore it, but I just couldn't shake off the feeling. So I turned to the direction and there he was peeking at me from under his hood, wearing his mittens. He quickly turned away, and I did the same.

     My nightmare, or should I say night and daymare, that has hunted me since I was nine. It came to me at any time, day or night. Even though I didn't want it, i didn't know how to get rid of it either. It had become a part of me. A part of me that hurts. I was sitting right there, in class, having another one. Another innocent person being killed, another bad guy getting away, I couldn't see the face of the murderer but I could see the of the person being murdered. The venue was stranger than the ones I had had at home and this one was nastier. It was as if the victim was being eaten by the murderer, but I couldn't tell whether it was an animal. These horrors always felt so real, that it always left me shaken. They were vision, like I was in some sort of trance. I wouldn't hear anything around me, but be as if I'm at that murder scene.
       Out of my trance, I quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed anything. If they did, there was no sign, but the class was over and everyone was leaving. I quickly picked up my bag and dashed for the door.
I was walking swiftly down the corridor when I was pulled into a dark room. I was immediately alert. "Who's there?" I said in a whisper. The light immediately turned on and in front of me was a girl. She was so gothic, black hair, black eye shadow, black lipstick, black blouse and black boots. Okay... This is so weird. "What do you want from me?" Suddenly she walked towards me slowly, I stepped back till my back hit the wall. The door was locked,there was no no sy to escape. I was trapped. When she reached me, I closed my eyes waiting for whatever it was going to be. Then I felt a sniff. I quickly opened my eye to find this strange goth girl sniffing me. "What-" I couldn't end my statement as she quickly interrupted. "I know you don't know me, but we need to talk. You need to tell me what you saw." "What are you talking about?" I asked truly ignorant. She stepped back and looked at me. "When you entered your trance, the crime you saw?" Trance? Crime? Wait, is she talking about my horrors? How did she know about that? "How did you know about that?" She sighed as if trying to be patient with me. "I'm a davender." "And what's a davender?" Now she looked at me truly surprised. "You don't know what a davender is?You are new around here aren't you?" I simply nodded. "Davenders are able to detect if someone has powers and what their powers. We can tell what their powers are. We can tell when you use it but we can not tell what you use it for." "Wow." Was all I could say. Now I truly believe I was in some sort of movie, then I realized what she just said. "You think my horrors are powers? You must have detected wrong!" She rolled her eyes. "It's ok to not know who I am, but you can't tell me you don't even know who you are!" Who I am? That's a good one. Maybe I don't know, after all I was sent here with no reason. "What are you talking about?" "So you really don't know then. You must be one of those people sent here to figure out their identity on their own since those who know did not know how to tell them." My mind was racing, I don't know if I was ready for what I was about to hear. "You are a Precrime... you see crimes before they occur in the form of trance or horror as you call it. But precrimes don't work alone. You alone can't see the whole crime. You are usually paired up by your fears... so the crimes you see, someone somewhere who has the same fears as you or maybe opposite fears get the same trance at the same time as you, and sees the part of the crime you can't see." Things were clicking into place, but more questions were coming up. It all made so much sense but how can I just believe this? "How do I know this is true?" I sounded so faint even to my self. "Seriously now? You think I would just drag you to some corner on campus and tell you stories, anyway if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you can find the library, the are many books on all of us;davenders, precrimes, shadows, geniuses, wolves, vampires, etc. Though you kind is rare." "What's your name?" I didn't know what else to say, all this was too much. My throat was so dry I couldn't even swallow. "Zeta...Zeta Muller." "Zeta, I've got to go." "Ok, i understand. But please think about it very well. This place might be a hideout for a lot of people but to some of us, it's home. And though a lot of people see it as peaceful and all, a few of us know what's really going on. It's either we try and stop it now or we pretend to be ignorant like everybody else, only for our home, which your home now to be completely destroyed." With that she walked out and left me with my thoughts. So that why I was sent here after all? I wasn't ordinary. But Mirina? What is she? Who is my precrime partner? and who exactly are the bad guys here? All these years, these innocent people I saw die, I could have done something? They were real? And my parents knew? The tears flowed freely down my cheeks, I needed to call my parents. What else don't I know?
