The New Gaurdians

Chapter 7

        Nova

I awoke to my regular white room and a change of clothes. Black boots, black pants, black long slevee shirt, and a black vest. I got up took a shower and decided to get my normally straightened hair wet. With wet hair I got dressed. I took a look at my wavy/curly hair in the mirror, gave it a quick shake, and walked out the room and into the training facility. I looked around for Zander or Chad, maybe even Syd. Of course no one was up there. I was about to open the door to the war planning room, when I heard voices behind the room. 

        "No! We can't exploit there abilities yet! Their not ready. We haven't been through the preperation process!" A lady's voice yelled. I couldn't pinpoint who it was but, it sounded familiar.

        "We have to speed things up. They are going to be coming soon." A deeper voice called.

        "I can't. You can't throw all that stuff on them and expect them to be okay." A voice replied.

        "Well if you can't do it then maybe I SHOULD!" He yelled back at her.

        I looked through the crack in the door and found our guidence person Nadia standing in a room with a man I didn't reconize. He was tall he had black hair but, that was all I could see because his back was facing me. Next thing I knew Nadia was storming out the room. Tears welling up in her eyes. My eyes widened as she came closer. I knew I had to act quickly, I got up from my croutch and tip toe ran around the corner and croutched down to avoid my shadow from being seen. 

        "Nadia, NADIA!" He yelled at her as she ran off. He wanted to go after her I could tell but, she was out of reach. He did, however, lunge for her wrist and was able to tap it. She yanked her hand back

        "Don't touch me or follow me!" She yelled at him. He gave a huge sigh and slamed the door shut.

        There is a lot more going on at this place than I thought.

        Zander

Me and Chad had hung out some more. He was a cool guy and it seemed as if I could trust him but, I can't be sure yet. I hope Nova was being as careful as possible with Syd. I didn't trust her but, was I going to say anything to her? NOPE. When I got dressed this morning I had I new change of clothes instead of a jumpsuit. Finally I had started to get tired of wearing a jumpsuit everyday. It had been almost a week since we had gotten here. I wonder how's mom doing? I turnted my head up as the sounds of quick footsteps echoed throughout the halls. I whipped my head around (I've been doing that a lot lately) to see Nadia running my direction. Unfortunately I had looked fast enough as she collied with me.

        "I'm so sorry!" I said to her.

        "No don't appolgize. I was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going." She sat up and rubbed her head.

        "I don't mean to pry but, why were you running?" 

        "Umm.. I need to go to the office immediently."

        "Why??!! Is there an emergency?"

        "No, don't worry about it. You go back to what you were doing." She said as she stood up and offered a hand down to me. I took it and stood up, thanking her on the way. She ran off and as soon as she was gone another guy came around the corner. 

        "Have you seen Nadia?" 

        "No." I replied. "Can't say I have." I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.

        "Well.. Thanks anyway." He ran away so fast.

        I have to find Nova I thought to myself.

        I ran upstairs to the training room and of course she was there. Shooting a bow and arrow. I knocked on the window. She turned around and smiled at me. She set down her bow and her arrow, unlocked the door, and came out while shutting the door behind her.

        "Hey," I said to her. "Did you see Nadia running down the hall?" 

        "Yeah," She replied. "She was in the planning room and she was having an argument with some guy. He yelled at her, something about not wanting to train us anymore and, stormed out the room and left."

        I gave a questionable look.

        "Oh yeah," She smacked herself on the forehead, "You don't know about the planning room. Well follow me and i'll show you." She waved me along and I followed her into the unknown.
