Carter Gray POV

my mind was all hazy , and i see nothing but blurry lights and shadowy figures , as i adjusted my eyes to a very bright room it seemed , i see someone clouding over me opening one of my eye with a pen light ,

"she's awake" she said .. it's a she

"i'll call Robert" a male voice replied

i blink my eyes a few times , letting a few tear drop rollover by the side of my face .  as my tired eyes really take a view of my surrounding , i was in a hospital? i think .. it resembles one i'm sure , but , i don't think I'm in a hospital , is it a lab? 

i had one of my hand in infusion , i looked to my left shoulder , and the pole stake was no longer there , and they've patched my shoulder up real good . i slowly tense , who are these people ?  what are they gonna do to me? i raised my body up to a sitting position , and the girl who checked my eye earlier came rushing towards me,

"calm down .. it's okay , you're safe here" she said in a very calming tone , it actually soothed me down.

then , an older man , probably in his mid 40's , an average size man with a dark brown hair , he was in a suit , with a pair of sunglasses that he just took off to really look at me , he just look i-don't know somehow authoritative , but .. calming and i don't know how to describe it "safe?"  he feels safe .

"good afternoon Carter , i'm Robert .. head of everything " he chuckles walking towards the bed i was laying on

"where am i?" i ask him as i furrowed my brows 

"you're in Alta , Norway .. you've been out for two days .. blood lost , now i know you have many questions , we're under the surveillance  of a secret government agency , much like CIA or the MI's , but un public , we take care of things like this .. apocalyptic events, big conspiracy that endangered large numbers of human , and human with specialty such as you , now we have to delete your identity from everyone's mind that knows you  like your previous neighbor , friends and such .. you have so much of that because of your exposure back in that uni dormitory , a lot of the crowd got you and what you're doing on tape , they can't know that .. so our team had to erase any trace of you online and had to erase their memory of you , Ara here will help you sort yourself out from our care unit , and Theo will take you to your room" he explained to me

with all of that explanation i still feel like i have a lot to ask , i was brought halfway across the world from Canada to Norway , where are my parents? Ethel????, am i part of whatever this thing is now? what's happened to me?

and the red haired girl with glasses probably around my age i think Robert called her Ara came to me 

"hi , i'm Ara , it's Arabelle , but call me Ara  ,i know you have quiet a lot in that head of yours .. all of it will be answered in time , i was just as shock as you were when it was me , i got under their tracks because i don't know if this is an important trait or not , but i remember everything .. i can recall everything , as if my eyes can take picture of what's in front of me now to see it later" she chuckles 

she brings me a glass of water for me to gulp on and i thanked her , she seems kind and easy to talk to .

"And i'm supposed to just trust whatever this agency is telling me?" I asked her raising my brows

"What about my parents? and Ethel? And that woman that attacked me on the dorm ? Who is she?" I continue asking her , because too many was rushing through my head

"Carter , i need you to calm down .. Theo and Robert will break it down to you , you need to know that you're safe here" She said to me as she handed me fresh clothes for me to get out of the hospital like gown .

"Who's Theo?" I ask her curiously
"Oh yeah right , he's outside the door , he'll be in charge of your training , he's lead of our agents in command , he used to have power too, but .. It's been taken by our agent that's gone rouge .. One of 'em that attacked you back in that dorm . she was one of them .. But , don't mention this to Theo , unless he told you" She said smiling , so wait .. power can be taken away? my brain is too buzzing to even start more question

I went to the dividing curtain on the corner of the room and she lets me change change into a grey loose T-shirt with V necklines and black jogging pants , i tucked in my T shirt inside my jogging pants to make it seem more tidy and presentable , as she kindly smiled at me at led me outside to meet Theo , 

he's this athletic built guy , tall , has that tough jaw line and brown eyed , he's probably a few years older that , probably in his early twenties, as i studied his strong features.

"Theo , this is Carter Gray ... i'm pretty sure you've learned about her ..i'll leave you two now " she said as she went back to the medical room

"Gray .." he said my last name and nodded at me and pursed his lip while looking down at me 

"hi" i said being my awkward self and not knowing what to say , everyone is new to me .. i kinda get anxiety for it .

"it's not my place to answer most of the question's in your head now .. you probably had tons on them , you're here because you have too many power , and your mother just died , so your power will just continue to grow , and there are people out there that's looking for that much of power ,that's why the past 10 years you were under the protection of our late agents Angie and Jim and we had your memory erase, but , you will soon learn about it " he said sternly to me

"Jim and Angie are my parents? right?" i said being unsure of what i said

"they were our top agent , when you were eight year old and your sister was one , your mother received some threats for you , because they know you would inherit your mother's power , and your mother was far too strong for them so they went after you , that's why your mother had your memory erased , so no one can find you and entrust Jim and Angie which was your mother's best friend to take care of you for all these years" he said while he walked me through the halls , 

as in the huge main hall , the ceiling above us just opened up to a chopper coming down on us , we watched them landed , i don't know why  Theo made stay and watch until i watched 3 people from behind us rushed and the chopper opened up to reveal 2 gurney , with two bodies on it which was already covered , i looked at Theo , and he looked down at me and nodded 

and i ran towards the gurney , as i have guessed before , the bodies revealed to be Jim and Angie , which was my dad and mom , i don't even know if i should call them that , but, they died protecting me , and i loved them as i believed they loved me too , my eyes started to water , before i realized .. wait .. my sister's not here ,

"Theo! my sister.. where's Ethel?" i asked in panic ,

"they can't find your sister , they were the only ones home when they attacked Jim and Angie , we're having a search party since the first day for your sister" he said as he held my shoulder reassuringly 

"my sister can't protect herself , she's 11 , i need to find her .. i can't stay here knowing she's out there somewhere" i said rather hastily .. my mind was clouded with finding my sister , i can't lose her too , i lost my real mother today which i don't remember at all , Jim and Ange ,... i can't lose her too , i just can't ..i have to find her .

as i was about to run to wherever the exit is and Theo grip  my forearm before i could run

"let me go" i said reaching for my power to push him off of me

Theo spin my body around to his and put both of his arms on my shoulder , i looked away not wanting him to see me cry on the first day i'm here , 'i've lost too much' i thought , i don't wanna feel like this .. i don't even know what i am .

"hey hey .. we'll find your sister .. it's gonna be okay , but , we need you to be safe here .. if you went out and got yourself killed .. you wouldn't be able to see her .. hey look at me .. we will find her , i promise you that" he said while searching for my eye contacts , as i finally looked at him and complied .. he's right
