THE GIFTED

chapter: 5

TIP: WHEN YOUR MOM STARTS PANICKING, YOU SHOULD BE TO.

"mom it's okay we are near a forest there are many wolves here, we should just stay out of their w-"

my mom was now shaking me. "those are not wolves, if they were one I could take them down but there are so many.........."

there are so many what? I realized I didn't say it a loud but I was just stunned my see my mom in such a panic, she was the most calm person I have ever met.

So if she is panicking, there must be something insanely wrong. Is that even a word?

Great! Now I am speaking rubbish.

"why don't we unlock the doors" I suggested trying to figure out why she is acting this way.

" why hadn't I thought of that" she turned back to the gate and knocked.

Well maybe  it was because you were too busy worrying.

My mom knocked on the gate in a hurry which sounded like she was banging it.

A slit on the gate opened, I hadn't noticed it which meant it was a very good camouflage.

Two gray color eyes appeared on the other side of the gate, it was filled with curiosity. Even though it was dark i could still make out the eyes, the eyes shifted until it rested on my mother , not seeing me.

"who are you?" a young voice, the owner of the grey eyes asked A male voice not a man but a boy, who would keep a boy in charge of a gate?

"your new?" my mom asked urgently " Is Mr. Drakon there? I need to speak to him."

"state your business. " the boy said ignoring what my mom said.

That set my mom off. "do you want to know my business boy, there are about 10 seekers out there trying to kill us, if you don't let us in-". The boys eyes darted around."Us? You know you are not supposed to bring-" he was cut short by another howl. his eyes widened, "come in quickly!"

there was a squeak and the gate opened, it was too dark to see what was inside,  but nevertheless I went in as my mother also went in. There was movement and the gate clicked shut.

" I need to speak to the council members. About a new.......ah arrival." my mom said shifting from foot to foot feeling agitated.

"I hope you know what you are doing, now who is this new a-"

"just lead us into the throne room, we will be fine from there." my mom interrupted

I still could not see any one so I guess no one could see me. At the end of the passage there was a bright light which I am guessing is the throne room. There was a shuffling of feet and my mother started moving or fast walking you could call it towards the light.
