I didn't have to wait long for what I was looking for, it only took two days.Two days sense I had decided what I wanted. Two days tall a muscular man with brown hair, odd orange eyes and several tattoos, mainly of animals such as dragons and lions, walked into the orphanage. He claimed he was looking for a young boy for his wife to have a kid. But I could tell that wasn't the truth, the man was looking for something more, I could sense then things. The man walked around like he owned the place, he was searching for something but I couldn't figure out what until he stopped in front of me. Something clicked in my mind, this man needed someone young and easy to leave an impression on, but he also needed someone who was weak and couldn't fight back. He needed me.
I gulp afraid of what that could mean for me. Why would he want me? Why is he really here? I had a thousand questions going through my mind but those two stood out the most. He was here for something important, I could tell that much, but what, I had no clue what he had in store for me.
"I would like to adopt these two" the man says pointing at me and my only friend, Zane Willinton who was standing next to me. Zane was a thin, tall boy, he was what people call lean, I couldn't really say that he is a lean, mean, fighting machine because the only true part of that is the lean part.
"Lets go" the man says leading us out. I knew that if we didn't go we probably would have been dragged out, and I really didn't want to cause a scene and be known as the crying baby that doesn't want to leave the orphanage. Zane and I follow the man out, Zane didn't seem worried about any of this, probably because unlike me, he had a power he inherited from one if his parents, I had promised him that I would keep his power secret. He didn't want to be known as a freak. Where me, I would give anything to be known as something other then weakling.
The man leads us into his car "my name is Sebastian Barren, you will fall me Mr.Barren" he says "at least until your training is over" he says. Zane and I look at each other, Zane's face reflecting my confusion and fear.
"Training?" Zane asks the question that we were both thinking".
"You didn't expect I was just going to let you weak boys on the team without training, you would be useless then" Mr.Barren says.
"Team?" I ask
"Don't worry you will find out" Mr.Barren says starting the car, the doors automatically locking and trapping us inside as I notice that there was no way to unlock our doors from back here. This situation was starting to seem more kidnapping like then adopting like. I look over at Zane, wondering what we had gotten ourselves into, Mr.Barren terrified both of us, I could tell just by looking in Zane's eyes, his hands were glowing a little but he was wearing gloves so it was difficult to see. I was glad for the slight glow that Zane's hands have off, I hadn't noticed it but the sun was starting to set and it was getting dark. I started panicking realizing that Mr.Barren might not like people with super powers, i quickly take my jacket off and cover his hands.
"Whats going on back there?" Mr.Barren says gruffly.
"Nothing" I say quickly. My quick reply making Mr.Barren stop the car and look back at us "out your jacket on, its the middle if winter" he growls when he sees my jacket in Zane's lap.
"Y-yes sir" I choke out and take my jacket back, putting it on. As soon as I move my jacket Zane hides his hands in his pockets but a glow could still be seem shining out from his gloves and pockets.
"Whats wrong with your hands kid!" Mr.Barren snaps.
"Nothing" Zane squeaks.
"Show me them then" Mr.Barren says.
Zane slowly takes his hands out of his pockets, carefully removing his gloves, a blast of lightning hitting the front passenger door, his hands glowing neon blue.
"What is this" Mr.Barren growls "hiding things so soon" he says and pulls out a gun, neither me or Zane having time to react as Mr.Barren shoots Zane in the fore head. I stare at Zane in shock as I watch his body slump back in the seat, it was like everything was moving in slow motion as I watch Zane's blood stain the gray seat and start to pool, red running down his forehead and dripping off his nose into his lap. I much as I wanted to I couldn't peel my eyes away from the horrific scene.
I didn't even notice that the door had opened until black gloved hands grab me and drag me out, snapping me out of my shock "YOU KILLED HIM, HES DEAD, MY BEST FRIEND IS DEAD!" I scream and then collapse into the unknown persons arms as I feel a prick prick of a needle in my neck and then everything turns black.
