THE GIFTED

chapter 6

DON'T EVER IN YOUR LIFE PICK AN ARGUMENT WITH A GIRL, WORSE IF THAT GIRL WAS ME!

"OF COURSE I DON'T BELONG HERE". Shouting at the top of my lungs "the only reason I put up with this is because of my mother! I don't even know what's going on, who you are!" I shoved him to the nearest wall "I don't even know who I am! And quit using all these words gift ,seeker, don't you  know how to speak proper English a-"

"wait!" the boy said looking at me with confusion clear on his face "you're not lying. You really don't know anything, about us or the enemy? Didn't your parents tell you?"

"no duh, whose going to tell me, anything? my dad died when I was little, my mom- well she went for battle fighting with wolves! and I don't know if she is going to come back in one peace. She told me she will tell me everything once she comes back so I have to wait....."

"well, I could show you around and tell you all you  need to know, until your mom's back." he showed pity in his eyes.

Well I don't need no pity!

"yeah, I guess so.........." but there is a lot I need to know, so pity wins.

he walked out of the door and into the hallway.

He gave a sly smile "sorry about the door, so were shall we begin? I will start from here,"

He cleared his throat " we all live in this small city called Denver and-"

"wait, we?"

He sighed running a hand through his dark brown hair "this I going to take longer than I would have expected. We are called th-"

There was a loud  noise, which sounded like an explosive, which shook the ground. It nearly knocked me off my feet.

The boy had a worried look on his face. Just what I needed for something to go wrong, ain't this my  lucky day!

"Grace is angry, she wasn't supposed to do that. Something must be wrong" he started sprinting to the door, leaving me puzzled.

 wasn't supposed to do what?  that shake was more like an earthquake more than explosives . Maybe she threw a whole box of nuclear bombs.

I started running after the boy, I really don't want to be the confused one any more. "what do you mean by that?" I screamed after him as I caught up to him ,He got a head start but I was faster.

"Grace is very easy going............ and not very easy.......... to anger..........., so if she is angry now that means ................something went terribly ...............wrong" he said between his breaths, having trouble running and talking at the same time. Now I was neck and neck with him.

"no, I meant what wasn't she supposed to do? An- wait! something wrong, don't say that my mother is out there!"

 thinking about her gave me a boast of energy and I passed him and ran out to the ball room, from there I ran out the door my mom went out from ,my heart beating fast. She is going to be okay, she is going to come back and take me home.

I reached the big metal gates in time to see it closing. I looked around searching for any signs of my mother.

I saw a man with heavily dressed in armor, I think he is the military leader, he was shouting something I could not quite catch something like 'the treat!' , 'the treat!'.

What kind of guy shouts the treat in the middle of the?............oh.

Realization dawn to me, I quickly grabbed a nearby card board paper, rolled it in cone shape and ran to the hole in the wall small enough for me to fit in and slipped out while shouting from the cone what the decked up guy said, "RETREAT!"

My voice echoed loudly across the field,  many people stopped fighting and was searching for the voice, which was me. It took a few more shouts to get to their senses and run to the gates.

There was a lot of commotion and only then I realized who they were fighting, what we were up against...

Wolves,

but not exactly wolves it was more like half human half wolf, I started going back through the hole when I realized I was here for my mom and went back out.

By then as everyone was almost in the gates, I was still searching for my mother when someone pulled me back through the wall and into the crowd, I couldn't see who it was because of the crowd around me but that 'somebody' dragged me to the throne room, I struggled underneath his hold but it was clear that he was stronger and had a deathly hold on me, when we reached the throne room the room almost blinded me with lights, when my vision can in to focus  I found out that the ‘somebody'  is the gate boy.

"what do you think you were doing!" he shouted after realizing me.

" well you said that something was wrong so I just went to see if........." I totally forgot about my mother again , I was when I was about to push him  and run to get my mom,  when the military officer came in.

"James Edward the III, nice to meet you." he bowed down and kissed my hand. His moustache tickled my skin. "I adore the spontaneous thinking you did on the battle field out there."

"what did she do, commander? Something bad or-" I guess the gate boy could go on and on.

" no! She saved lives of many people. I wasn't able to reach all the people to tell them too retreat but this beautiful young lady here spoke though a cone thingy and people all over the battle field heard!" he turned back to me.

" If you ever want to join the army, there is always an open spot for you." and  winked I could swear that I blushed, before I could say thank you, the doors burst open with a crowd of people came in. They were the people who sat on the thrones. They did not notice us as they were surrounding a crying women they were consoling, she cried so bitterly even I wanted to go comfort her. When she looked up I recognized that she was Grace my mom's friend she would know where my mother is, but as soon as she saw me she ran towards me and hugged me "I am so sorry, I am so sorry I-I tried so hard " she kept saying she was sorry and weeping on me until someone came and slowly pulled her off.........no I was being pulled away from her by the gate boy, he led me to my room as we walked in silence.

What did she want to say to me? Why was she sorry?

When we reached the door he pulled me inside my bed room and closed the door behind him.

 "so what happen to Grace?" I asked feeling left out.

He hesitated " she lost some one she loved a lot" he said slowly as if seeing how I would react

" not lost but was carried away by a seeker, th-that person was your mom"

I felt my legs wobble like the whole world came crushing down on me.
