The last others

The Orientation Part 2

"Many years ago, there were two watches, the night watch and the day watch. The night watch was a group of light others, who believed that there should be order and justice in the world."

"The day watch was a group of dark others who believed that people should live in freedom, in a world where every man is for themselves."

"The night watch kept an eye on the dark others to make sure they did not disturb what they thought should be the order of things and the day watch had become corrupted because of their leader and caused havoc during the night, trying to win their way. Unfortunately, after so many battles between each other, it caused both of the watches destruction and they are no more."

"But, the others, were still around, being light or dark others based on their beliefs but all lived their separate lives, keeping to themselves, until now, our organisation is trying to bring back light and dark others alike to be able to build a system that will supply the needs for both of the different types of others and protect them from the government who have figured out their existence."

"We need your help to live in freedom and in harmony, having order but not over the top like the night watch and not having too much freedom like the day watch and becoming corrupted."

"We need your cooperation, we will train you all to help defend yourselves against the government and live the life you've always wanted."

"Each of you has your own trainers, they are others as well, one dark and one light other, they will help you find out which type of other you are (if you don't already know) and each pair of trainers has a group of five others that they teach and that you all will get to know."

Then the video ended and the lights turned back on.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Elyse and I'll be here if you have any questions about the training program," Elyse said.

"So, now I will announce the groups you will be in and who your trainers are," Elyse said, starting to name groups of 5 people and their trainers.

I didn't pay much attention to any of the names until I heard my name being called.

"...Bella, Jake and Marinette," Elyse announced, "Your trainers will be Max and Rose."

'Dangit...' I thought, 'I missed who the other two people in my group would be.'

Giddeon looked over at me and smiled, "I'm glad we're in the same group," He said.

I looked over at him and gave a small, nervous smile, "Uh...I wasn't really paying attention till my name was called, who's the other person besides you, me Jake and Marinette?" I asked.

Giddeon laughed a little bit, it was really cute but I was also embarrassed he was laughing at me, then he said, "The other person is Jakes little sister, Poppy."

I looked at him and nodded smiling, "So we're all together then, that's good," I said.

Then before we could chat more about the groups, the two guards from earlier came by and took off their helmets.

"Hi guys!" one of the guards said, "My name's Rose, I'm a dark other and I'll be one of your trainers, as well as Max, he's a light other and will be your other trainer."

"Let's go to our private training quarters," Max said calmly, "Follow us."

We all followed, not sure what to do, I saw another girl had joined us.

'She must be Marinette,' I thought and walked towards the giant doors.

Before I left I stopped for a second, 'Didn't Elyse mention others that are neither light nor dark?' I thought, 'She said she'd explain it to us but she never did...'

"Bella," Giddeon said, "Let's get going, the group's waiting for you, we're the last people here."

I looked ahead of Giddeon and sure enough, the whole group was waiting by the doors for me and the auditorium was empty now. I blushed out of embarrassment and followed Giddeon to the group and we all left together, the doors slamming behind us.
