I opened my eyes to find my vision blurred and I blinked a few times to clear them. As my senses start to come online , the world slowly begins to materialize .I see the white ceiling above me,I feel the bed beneath me ,I taste my stale, must have been in there for days ,and I heard the whistle of wind somewhere outside this room .I pushed off the covers exposing my naked body! A little surprised I pulled the comforter back up to my waist and sat up ,I wiggled my toes to bring back some feeling into my recently dormant feet .Convinced that I was alone I swung myself onto the side of the bed then stood up letting the comforter fall to the bed.I wobbled a little on my once neglected feet but then I started to walk over to a small sink with a mirror over it ,It felt like I just learned to walk and my progress was slow but eventually I made it to the fauset and started rinsing the terrible taste from my mouth with some mouth wash,something that was too luxurious to have back home.Presently I heared the door behind me open I turned to the surprised face of a girl "oh my gosh!"she said with a smirk across her face but not caring to close her eyes "um...you're awake!,meet me outside when you're um...decent."
With that she stepped out closing the door behind her.I turned and looked at myself in the mirror ,presently I rub my finger over a half healed scar that fitted it self on to the small area on my chin and along the bottom of my jaw,trying to remember how I got it I let my thoughts flow then everything hit me ,like a dam breaking but instead of water behind it ,tons of acid flowed over me igniting my emotions burning bright with anger then dwindling in sorrow.I went over to the bed and wept, like I did in the prison every night ,until I heard the girl outside"hey can you hurry up,I'm hungry!"I got up ,dried my eyes and grabbed some clothes from a closet in the room ,a black T shirt with black jeans ,everything in the closet was either black or yellow.I pushed the door open and stepped out into a Hallway ."Finally "I heard the girl say "what were you doing in their?"
"Uhh umm...who are you?"
"Oh sorry you've been here so long I forgot you didn't know me,I'm Abigail"
"Oh "I said
" And You are ?"
"Oh ,Im ...uh...Seth.Um...where am I?"
"You're at Rebel Headquarters In some South American country, I'm not sure which one,I failed that history class.Follow me"she turned and stared walking down the hall .
I walked behind her thinking over what she said ,sorting through the many questions to figure out which to ask "what's rebel?"
"We are the mediators ,we don't support the humans or the kins ,We fight for peace that means we fight against the kins "
"Oh so why am I here?",we went up a stair case at the end of the hall ,then Into another hallway .
"Because you are a potential Rebel "
"I'll be honoured to get the chance to smash in their faces"
"Thats the spirit "she said laughing a little "what do you have against them anyway?"
My mood changed from anger to cold sadness in a matter of seconds"I don't want to talk about it."
"Ok fine,everyone comes here with a story except me I was born here"
"So you go to school ?" I asked
"Not anymore.how old are you?"
"Um...I'm ...15,yeah 15"
"Good that means you're too old for school now.I'm 15 too,um here we are"
She stopped In front of a wooden door at the end of the hall and raised her hand to knock but before she could a voice stopped her fist mid-way "come in miss Crier it's open.".
Abigail lowered her hand and pushed the door open She beckoned for me to enter so I did ,the room was quite plain except for the polished desk and the extreme veiw behind it,only then did I realize how high I was and it took me by surprise.the room looked like it was about 12 stories high, Ive never been in a building this big.
Abigail stepped in behind me "good afternoon Sir"
"Sit miss Crier"said the man behind the desk beaconing to one of the two chairs in font of the desk"and invite your friend to ,if he likes."
We both sat in the wooden chairs,The man, obviously the leader of the rebels ,though thin had a air of power and authority about him ,like he could destroy me without even thinking about it ,all the dark colours on his body seemed to be highlighted especially his hair which was a glossy black ,covered excessively in hair wax and combed back ."What's your name boy?"
" His name is ..."Abigail started but she decided to stop and I don't blame her I would have done the same if hair wax here gave me that look.
"What did you call me ?" He said turning in my direction.
"I...I didn't say anything sir ?"
"My name is Jonas not hair wax Seth"
At first I was confused ,then it dawned on me ,this guy just read my mind ,which means He's kin.Alarm bells started going off in my head,he's a kin and they hate humans and im huma-.
"Dont be stupid boy jumping to conclusions "Jonas stared at me with annoyance"Didn't Crier explain this to you" I nodded ,a stupid expression on my face.
"Now I must check to ensure that you are not a traitor of some sort"
"What do you-"
"I mean that Im going to go through your mind"I nodded a bit annoyed at his interruption just because you have telepathy doesn't mean that you can't allow someone to finish speaking.I looked across the desk and saw his mouth open as if in surprise then in a instant he regained his composure."ok it seems that you are good to go Im sorry about your loss "he said with a slight frown "Crier im assigning him to Malcolm so take him there immediately" Abigail stood "yes sir " .As I was about to follow her out the door a thought seemed to occur to Jonas "Seth" I turned to. See him holding out a pair of black gloves"Welcome to Rebel"
