Our Precious Blood Rose

Sacrifices Must Be Made

An hour of waiting has already went by in a flash. Yet still nothing, was there more people? I don't think so. I look to Angelique for some advice. Wait a damn minute! What am I doing? Turning to a child for a shoulder to lean on? How awfully independent I must seem, If you can't see the sarcasm then you must be a really boring guy. Either way Angelique just gives me a reassuring smile and says, "No, it's okay. They'll be starting shortly I'm sure. I'm much stronger and smarter than I look." She can totally read my mind. So I challange her and ask, "Hey, Angel what color am I thinking of?" Blue, "Blue." She answers simply and my mouth drops open. Yeah, okay no fair. She gets telepathic powers of the sort and I get nothing..

I stand quickly, raise my hands and catch a huge ass weight bigger than my body! It knocks me back a little but I'm still standing and holding it above the damn ground. That's way too cool! I look up to see who threw it and it was that damn Derek guy! He smirks and Angel says before I can move to yell at the guy, "I told him to. With my Telepathy, of course. You have quick reflexes and one thing more, but you'll figure that one out soon, but that's you're gift. It's more valuable than you think so use it well." That's pretty cool. "Angel?" I ask as I retake my seat and she looks to me, acknowledging my question. "What is everyone else's 'powers'?" She stops and everyone starts whispering except her and me. Then they stop and she smiles at me and says "Derek has inhuman strength and speed and the twins both have individual gifts. Tristan has the gift of transformation and Drake has the gifted ability to materialize objects and people out of nothing." She smiles at me "That is so awesome!" I shout and everyone looks at me. I feel embarrassed. Angel gives a small smile and closes her eyes. So now we wait, again.

Angel is still sleeping, Derek is still working out and the twins are whispering into eachothers ears and smiling, is that suggesting things or am I just a fangirl? Just then Angel opens her eyes, "Oh hey Angel. So Glad of you to joi--" she cuts me off, "It's time." And seconds later this really loud PA system turns on and a woman's voice says, "Welcome Participants of the Black Sheep Project. We have gathered you all from your homes to fight against beings from other dimensions. More information on this topic shall be presented to you in room 3012. Good day." Angel stands and motions for me to follow her. The others immediately get up and walk to the room.

We enter the room and are immediately greeted with a giant movie theater like white room. There were only five seats in the room, they were individually labelled with our names. We took our seats and just as I was about to turn to Derek, who was sitting to the left of me and Angel on the other side of him and the twins to my right, to ask him what was next the screen turned on and we were welcomed by a lady dressed in white on that screen. "Welcome subjects 1250, 7692, 7693, 1144, and 1907." She said our numbers? "Just as you all have been informed this is what the government calls The Black Sheep Project. This name being that you all are the gifted black sheep of our Earth. You might've already gotten to know your gifts. These were a gift from us to you." The screen then showed a picture of a mother with her baby and The woman began to speak once more "Each of you have been injected with a syrum called TX-4900W0. It is a new mutation that gives the user a certain power to match with their personality or their body type. On a rare occasion it gives said user two powers." Two powers? Cool. "The second power usually will not awaken until the user has over come a struggle. Now, onto the real topic." She says with a curt smile. I can tell she hates her job. "The Black Sheep Project is a top secret government organization. We gather children from certain countries and bring them here. I can assure you that your parents have known your entire life. Over the course of 7 weeks we shall train you into strong warriors. The world needs you all to fight in this war against worlds. You will train to fight two different alien species. First are the Nazadi, they are the most vicious creatures of the entire universe. Their claws are their pride and number one weapon." She shows a picture of them. The skin is peeling yet its covered in mucus like a frog and its a sickly yellow-green. The eyes are drooping and yellow. The teeth and claws are long and sharp, polished and white. They look really tall compared to the average human male. "Lastly you have the Scheptia. They are a beautiful species. They use a sword made entirely of light, called the Cetia, as their main weapon." This species' skin was smooth looking and shiny it was a blue color with white and green tints and white tiger stripes. It had long white hair that looked like it was made of the finest silk and it was wrapped in what looked to be green ribbon. The model we were shown was a female. She was wearing a type of transparent silk dress and holding the sword of light, Cetia it was called. The screen cut back to the woman. "You may all head to the dining hall now. Have a wonderful evening." She smiled and the screen went black. We all stood up and head to the dining hall for supper. Sloppy joes, yum.
