Jacob Davis walked down the street casually, tired from a long day of school. Alexandra Holkers had already speed-walked to the alley where she eagerly waited for a victim to pass by. Jake crossed the street approaching an alleyway. People often told him to loom to alleys cautiously, as burglar or thieves could pop out, but he passes this alleyway everyday, and no one had ever stopped him before. He shrugged and confidently walked closer to the alley, when he saw a figure moving through the corner of his eye. His heart jumped.
VVVVVV
Mark sat in the warehouse, which was near the beach and eagerly waited for Samantha. For the past few weeks, he had been dating her and hanging out with her a lot. He had really loved her, but wasn't sure if the feeling was mutual. Samantha had asked him to meet him at the warehouse at 4 PM. He looked at his watch, which read 3:59 PM. The door of the warehouse burst open with Samantha coming in with a stern look on her face. Mark stood up and stared as Samantha closed the door and locked it.
"Hey," Mark smiled a little nervously thinking he might be the cause for her feeling. "What's up?"
"What's up?" Samantha asked. "I'll tell you what's up. You bugging me every week to go out with you is what's up. You always want to be with me wherever I go, and not for the right reasons. I don't what you're planning, but you hurting me like this, is just…"
She looked down the tears started welling up in her eyes. Mark slowly walked up to her and touched her. She flinched and backed away.
"Look, I'm really very sorry, Sam," he started. "If I hurt you in any way, please forgive me. If you want a little space, I can lay off a little."
"You would?" Samantha asked wiping her tears away, looking up at Mark.
"Of course, Sam. I love you. I'll do anything to make you happy."
"Thank you so much…" She looked up at him with innocent eyes that were still a little watery. "I love you, too, Mark."
Mark stepped forward and touched her lightly on the cheek. This time, she didn't flinch.

Jake's reflexes weren't the best. When he started forward to run, two hands grabbed his arms and with great force, threw Jake into the alleyway. Jake crashed into a bunch of empty tin trashcans, which scraped his forehead, and he hit the ground hardly skidding to a halt across the concrete pavement. After a few seconds, a searing pain hit his leg, and he realized he must have scraped it. He groaned and grabbed his leg. He sat there closing his eyes tightly, squealing in pain for a few seconds, and hoping the person wouldn't hurt him again. He opened his eyes a little and saw someone's legs about a foot away from him. He opened his eyes a little more, then widened them after he saw a little more of the person's body. The person was a girl with dark brown messy hair, a tan complexion, and was slim. She was wearing a sleeveless, strapless dark green shirt with some gray sweat pants. He almost laughed. He was getting thrashed by a girl. He recognized her though. He might have seen her on the streets or at the park, but he couldn't put his finger on who exactly she was.
He slowly got up and looked at her smiling, for some strange reason. "Who are you? What do you want from me? Money?"
"No."
"You wanna kill me?"
"No, not exactly."
"Then, what do you want?"
She didn't answer, and instead walked up closer to him. Jake stood up tall lifting his chin up, as the girl was taller than him and seemed to be towering over him. She grabbed his shirt collar and suddenly soared high up into the sky. She took him above the building and flew across town.
"What are you doing? Put me down!" Jake began to panic. Was she a superhero? Those don't exist, do they? His eyes widened as they flew higher, the cars and people looking miniscule and toy-ish.
Alexandra ignored him. She threw him up slightly, letting go of his shirt collar and grabbed his arm. She sped up, zooming towards a small warehouse and slammed on top of it. Jake slipped out of her grasp and slid down the roof, yelling. She sped to him and stepped on his shirttail. He stopped screaming as he stopped so suddenly.
"Whew, that was clo—" he couldn't finish, as Alexandra took her foot off of his shirt and kicked him off the warehouse. He landed on sand with slight force, but let out a soft scream.
Mark and Samantha slammed open the door, and saw a boy about their age with cuts and wounds lying on the sand, groaning. Alexandra jumped down, landing softly on her feet, and looked at the two new teenagers. She smiled as she felt another guy land next to her. He seemed to have been flying before, but the three teens didn't notice. The new young man was a little taller than Alex, with dark hair covering his dark blue eyes. He was wearing a black, buttoned shirt, slightly open at the top and rugged gray pants.
"Hello. My name is Danny. You all have just been accepted."
"To where?" Mark asked, stepping in front of Samantha.
Danny smiled, "To Agetho."
"What's that?" Jake said, standing up, brushing the sand off of him.
"You'll see," Alex said, bolting towards the couple, grabbing their arms, and zooming off into the air. She flew in circles for a while, and hovered a few feet over Danny. "You comin'?" He nodded, and grabbed Jake, flying off. Soon they were off to Agetho.
