Gifted

Chapter 11

“Well, thank you all for coming here on time. I will start off by explaining the goal of the Gifted project, due to the fact that some parents neglected to go into much detail of it.”

Rita looked around, she wondered who knew what, and then she wondered if her parents hadn’t been telling her much compared to what they could’ve; she leaned forwards and listened intently.

“The goal of this project is to enhance the next generation, you will be better in nearly every way. You are opening a whole new range of possibilities for science, you should be proud. You will all be injected with DNA that will alter you, for some you will be smarter, for others you will be faster and more agile, the rest will be stronger. Each of the three groups will affect which classes you will take, they will play to your strengths as well as lessen your weaknesses.”

Rita looked at everyone’s faces, some looked bored, as if they had heard this many times before; others looked baffled at how little they had known.

“Alpha’s are the agile and the quick, their DNA is that of animals with grace. Bravo group’s DNA is based off of animals with brute strength. Delta group is enhanced abilities, they don’t have animal DNA but they are just as strong, some mentally and others physically. You will each have fantastic abilities, you will be injected with your DNA tomorrow, until then you will take tests so we can have a before and after comparison chart.”

Agile and quick, just like a bird, but which bird am I?

“After your tests you will be injected with a serum that will put you in a coma like state for an amount of time. By the time you wake your body will have accepted the new DNA and you will have changed, then you will take another test for the ‘after’ results, then you will begin training. You will come to enjoy your new life doe to the fact that we have provided you with everything that you could ever need to be happy.”

Rita looked at Zoe’s expressionless face and then Seth’s interested one, she looked back up at the stage.

“Now for the staff, each group will have one teacher, the Alpha’s will have one teacher to train them in everything, the Bravo’s will have one teacher to train them in everything; the Delta’s will have one teacher to train them in everything. Here they are.”

The man motioned to the side of the stage that was hidden by curtains and three adults walked out, the first was a woman who was tall and slender, she wore a yellow shirt along with jeans, her pale blond hair fell down to her waist. The next to walk out was a man that reminded Rita of a body builder, he wore a red shirt that was stretched tightly across his muscular chest and a pair of running shorts, he had a buzz cut, which revealed several scars along his head and drew attention to a puffy scar cutting through his lip. The last to walk out was another man, he wore a blue shirt; he was short with thin, mousy hair that stuck up in all directions, he had a small pair of glasses clutched tightly in his hand.

“Miranda is the Alpha teacher.”

Miranda waved to the crowd of kids watching intently, she stood with confidence and moved with grace. Rita found it hard to take her eyes off of the woman’s overwhelmingly graceful movements.
