It's been about a week since the kidnap and I can't get three things out of my head. One Harper practically ignoring me until everyone else left the room. Two Thorne's oceans of blue eyes. Three the constant buzzing of inanimate objects in every direction of me. Not necessarily in that order.

It has got easier to control buzz but it has been harder to continue the rest of my life. School has been a drag, and I haven't ran into anyone from the weird cinderblock room. I tried calling Harper since we have know each other from high school, hell we were best friends. But she hasn't picked up.
"Destiny." I know that voice it was the voice from the room.
"Who are you?"
"Destiny."
"What do you want." That's when I realized I was screaming at air and people were staring.
"Ha I'm I have an AirPod in I'm on the phone I'm not crazy." I was crazy. I ran down the hall of the dorms till I got to mine. I ran to my room ignoring my roommate Lunetta. I grad a notepad off my desk.
"Okay creepy voice, What is your name.
"The ancient one." I wrote that down.
"Did you talk to anyone else from the room."
"No" wrote that down.
"Why not"
"You are the only one who can hear." Wrote that down no matter how much sense it lacked.
"How come, why would Thorne hear you?" I asked the question remembering the talent Thorne gained from that room.
"He doesn't want to." What dose that mean.
"And I do.?"
"You are talking to me now. Aren't you?" He had me there.
"Why did you give us these ability's?"
"I will explain all meet me at these coordinates, 41.2229 N, 33.8887 W. Good bye Destiny." I wrote the coordinates down and headed to good old google. It lead me to an old abandoned house outside of the city. I grabbed my keys and drove.

When I got to the house it blended in perfectly. It was a plan. The ivory framework near perfect. With a red door and two windows on either side. Even the porch was playing with nothing on it but a welcome mat.

I walked up to the door and rang the simple back bell. A man in his late 20s possibly even his early 30s answered the door.
A small smirk spread over his face. That's when I realized I drove to a complete strangers house, who also happened to kidnap me.
"Destiny please come in. I'm so glad you came."
"Yeah uhh me too. Is anyone else here."
"Yes everyone is in the kitchen." I wonder how ever got here If I was The only person who could hear him but I didn't ask. Everyone from the weirdest day of my life sat around a little wooden table in the center of the kitchen. They all look at me like I was crazy.
I stared made me want to vomit  not only did the constant buzz make me crazy in the real world but even the people who also were affected looked at me like I didn't fit in.
"Welcome." The man who claims to be the ancient one spoke Breaking the uncomfortable stairs.
"Why the hell are we here." Georgia, the one who chose pink, spoke before anyone. I stared to notice small things like that Thorne now wore a gold ring, and Rebecca's nails are painted lilac purple. Even I'm wearing a gray army jacket from my cousin. This was slowly taking over our lives.
"To learn why you have these powers."
"Power," Thorne was harsh.
"I can barely sleep all I hear is everyone's thoughts, and you don't want to hear the thoughts of an entire college of horny teenagers." Sam snickered, probably think the Sam as me..
"And yes Sam I mean that when I say horny as all hell."
"Oh that's so gross." Sebastian spoke. Good to know we are all on the same page.
"No let me show you." The world stared to spin, the paint peeling off the walls, the water pipes exploding. The buzz of all objects telling me to put them back hoe they are supposed to be. I had enough I reach out my head as I have been in the last week in my attempts to stop the buzz reaching out to the China that was breaking, the bursting pipes, even the awful color paint and put it back where it was meant to be.
"What the..." Zoey almost fished the sentence before a violent shaking started and Harper raced around the room stopping things from falling. Then the room stopped shaking.
"This isn't showing us this squat. We figured out what the hell all of our abilities well are. I mean why are we here what do you want from us." George's voice is starting to crack, weather it be from fear or anger I couldn't tell, hell maybe it was both.
"Well I can't..."
"Show much more then why did you tell me to say that." Thorne now joined the pissed off party.
"To.."
"Show his power too" it was the first time I spoke.
"Because you just want to display what you have created. What ways you can torture us. Yes because this torture everything wants me to control it, and I want to get the hell out of you house. Someone else can fill me in on your little orientation." Then I grabbed my purse and keys like some teen chick-flick and slammed the door behind me.

My keys twisted into the ignition as the car rumble to life, the slow humm of the car mixing with quick buzz of the motor calling out.
"EHHHHHHH" my ear piercing screams could probably be heard from inside the house. Me screaming was becoming quite common after everything I'm starting to think my dorm mate thinks I'm crazy, like joker level. A comparison that we use as a joke, but now? I'm not sure who I am anymore, I've goon so off the rail I thought about dropping out of school.

I mind was racing, I barely noticed the car running the red. I pulled my emergency brake and skidded girds the side of the road. My head hit the steering wheel and then black, with one thought left in my mind.
Why me.
