Special Weapons

Chapter 1~ The Death

Adalia Point of View

I stormed into the president’s office, wanting to stop him from destroying the world. He was in the middle of making a call with his back against me. Perfect! He had to be stopped, or else the world would be in utter chaos.

I was about to put him under mind control until I hear Lizzie walk up behind me and desperately say, "Adalia... Don't do this, there has to be another way!"

I shake my head in sorrow and whisper "I’m sorry..." I turn back to the president to take full control of what I'm planning. I started walking up to him shapeshifting into one of his "Special Weapon" kids, just in case he turned to look at me.

I was about to touch his skull until I feel a vine come suddenly to wrap my hands together, making me unable to use my power. I glare at Lizzie who was using her powers to stop me. I couldn't let her set me back now.

I quickly use my fire powers to burn the vines off of me. Luckily, the president is too busy to hear what's going on. Before Lizzie could do anymore tricks, I took my chance to use my mind control on him. Finally, it was so peaceful for those moments of him not doing anything. I quickly made him say to whoever he was talking to, to call off the war.

The war was stupid, and it was all because of the Corona Virus. Yes, in 2081, COVID-19 still is a deadly virus. It's even deadlier than it was when it first existed, most people say, but we would never know because we never think about the past, about peace, about trust, and about allies. The government knows nothing of that now... All they try doing is take over the world, and trying to get the most resources.

The full cycle happens every 10 years, and no one thinks it'll stop. Every 10 years the Corona Virus gets worse, and it will kill more people every year...that is if you aren't immune to it.

I tried to stop time to finally take it in that it was over, at least for now. I just hope after I leave, that the government will come to peace, and go back how it was before. I take my hand off of him then go on to Lizzie. She had her mouth wide open in shock at what I did, but I didn’t care. I immediately stare her down, and demand, "Don't ever come in my way... because I will go through with this..."

Two weeks earlier

I was at a convienence store where my friends and I steal food from. Yes we steal, but the government makes kids go into war, venerable to what will happen. I think of it as an even territory, since they practically kill children.

I can kill a goverent agent, or I could steal. I chose to steal over killing because of two reasons. 1 being that it would make me be at the same level as the government, and 2 my friends and I would rather get supplies than kill other people. I'm pretty brutal to people, but that's how it is in 2081. No one likes to talk to anyone, so crimes are kind of allowed now. As long as the goverment isn't affected in any way by it.

I found some food, weapons, and medical equipment. I decided to stop my work for today, and head back to 'the spot'. The spot is where all my friends and I hang out and live. We have our own rooms, but we don't really care of what else we have. I mean we have a safety corner just in case if the government does a sweep in our area. Which is rare because we live in the forest.

The government sweeps are when the government is looking for more people to draft into the war. The age requirement is 6 to 60 to be drafted. Everyone who lives in the spot is 17, but we don't want to die yet. Therefore, we hide in places where people don't look... like the forest.
