"What?!". The amount of times I felt real danger compared to me just being nervous, Or  just feeling uncomfortable, suspiciously closely related. For example, I was running with my sister to the car and we just so happened to live in the forest back then. Something about family bonding and no internet.

   On the 3rd day there I couldn't help but feel something was off. It wasn't big red lights, but just a subtle feeling that made me feel strange. Yes strange, that's what I felt. Before we went outside I told my sis to slow down. But of course, her being older and more stubborn then me she ran right past me. When nothing happened, I shrugged my shoulders and ran after her.

   We opened the car door, our dad carrying most of the heavy groceries. It usually took us 20 mins to finish. Most of it being just us organizing where we would place everything. As we were both facing the car. I froze and felt real danger, not the usual unease. These were red flares loud screaming danger! danger!

   My sis never being polite, of course was reading my mind. She could feel the real danger I was imagining. while I was trying to figure out what this was. We could hear small growling behind us. It slowly started getting more ferocious. "Don't move". She grabbed my hand firmly our eyes never leaving the wolf.

   I wanted to say No shit really? but knowing this was not the time I choose to bravely hide behind her. "Its not hungry....If we don't move it'll leave." By this time the growling was so loud our father was alerted. Screaming and hollering he came out. Throwing his hat it pathetically drifted to the side, not even coming close.

   Seeing the wolf wasn't frightened, he picked up the old rocking chair holding it up high. All this while he was screaming incoherent words. He ran towards us trying to scare the wolf. Now the wolf seeing one to many bodies just coldly glanced at us and decided to move along.

   The following day we visited our family doctor. Doctor Zen. He came back clearly exasperated. "I uh don't t know what to say. The test results came back negative again. are you sure you feel your powers. "I swear it has to be, I can feel danger.- My sister cut me off "Maybe you just thought it? plus the time you had the feeling and when it did happen were to far apart." The doctor looked annoyed seeing two kids acting like adults while ignoring him at the same time. "cough, thanks for the check up doc. we'll get out of your hair. thank you thank you".

   Before I could continue arguing our dad rushed us out. I bugged my sister for weeks trying to get her to tell me what she felt when I had the warning. "There was nothing, nooootthhhhiiiiing. Unless you can block mind reading, then that would make more sense. long story short I never found my power. I probably Don't have one. So here I am feeling that same "intense danger" as my teacher stands across from me.

   "Wait what do you mean I have 5 months??". He sighed and turned to the open garden. "I can't keep giving you false confidence or give you this fake dream of how you can be anything you want OK. This is the real world, you don't have powers. While you waste time here another student who by the way has powers-" "But I just got here!!, how's that fair!?" wasn't it a year deadline with 2 semesters, that's 6 months each semester. you already targeted me with dropping 2 student's each month rule. why do you hate me!?"  He turned around pursing his lips disapprovingly. "Ill remind you this is a Hero course, not everyone is eligible. 5 months take it or leave it."

   I left class so angry I didn't even remember getting food. I just sat down barely remembering to grab objects, if I wasn't so angry I would find this funny. All I grabbed were spoons .....

   "what the fudge am I supposed to do in 5 months!?" A random extra sitting in front of me excitedly opened his mouth to answer. But unfortunately the chapter was over
