Chapter 11

        Zander

        

        I saw a pair of brown eyes staring up at me. I looked down my breath catching. She looked so scared and helpless. A finger went up to her lips, as she waved me to the ground. I sunk down and procceded to ask her questions.

        "What are you doing down here?!" I asked in a loud whisper.

        'Shhh!" She said loudly.

        "I'm hiding from someone and if you don't be quiet we'll both be caught!" She whispered.

        "Who are you hiding from?"

        She pointed up. "Him."

        I saw a man walking down the halls. He had black jeans, a marroon top and, black combat boots.

        "Nadia? Nadia!" He yelled.

        She started tremebelling. Her eyes widen in horror, as he walked by us and out of the arcade. I grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

        "What's going on?" I asked.

        "Come on." She said. I let go of her arm and she lead me to a room with a table and six comfy chairs.

        "Sit." She guestered towards a empty chair across from her. I looked up at her and took a seat.

        She still looked shaken up. I knew that she was scared of him after bumping into her while she was running in the hallway but, I had no idea that it was this bad.

        "Well, Zander. There is much you don't know about this world, much to be taught. Mark thinks that we should be able to teach you faster but, I told him no. No way would we cram all that information into their heads. It's too much for you guys. You wouldn't be able to handle it, I thought we had an agrement."

        "Wait, what things?"

        "Like I said there are things you don't know about. If this is too much, just tell me to stop, okay?"

        "Okay."

        "There was a war. A terrible war. Bombs were dropped and many people were killed and, along with it, many people began to develop new abilites. What they didn't know about these bombs were, they were not only deadly, some were bio-hazardous. They contatined a green looking goo and as they touched it a new gentic was found. It was said because of this that people started to develop new ablities and gifts. As people realized that people needed to be taught but, not every one used their powers for good. Some chose to go with the rebels."        

        "Rebels?"

        "Yes, the rebels are against the government that we have today. The are trying to take over the new government and rule our country."

        "Okay."

        "So, this is what this training facility is for. Protecting the government. You will be trained to combat the task force trying to take out our leaders. Some of you wil be smart enough to train the next generations and stay here with us. Only if you accept."

        "So we are being sent here against our will to become soldiers?"

        "Yes and, i'm so sorry."

        "So Nova was right."

        "What?"

        "Nova was right. She said that we were going to be soldiers. That we are going to be forced to do this."

        "Nova knows?! How many others know?"

        "Actually shes the one who told me but, don't worry she hasn't told anyone else. We kept it between us."

        "Great. Now can you do something for me?"

        "Anything."

        "Can you promise to tell Nova that you and her are requested in the gathering room on the fifth floor. That only she can know this."

        "I promise."

        "Now go, before someone gets suspicious."

        I got up and left on my way to tell Nova about my newfound discovery and that our secret was more than just a secret.
