Hey all. Decided to try re-uploading this. This time I'm gonna do it at a much slower pase so people can keep up. Also: The story may not be quite finished yet but do feel free to suggest which path you'd like to go down. Who knows I may even follow it. ;) I will be updating this weekly.

HIVE MIND

New York, Central Park, 8:00 PM

"That was weird..." Sarah commented to her friend Jenny as the two walked down the cobblestone path that lead through the refreshingly green central Park.

"Tell me about it," Jenny said as she thought about what had happened. That club had been weird. Their message had been fair to be sure... heck maybe she would have liked it. But the way they all wore the same uniform, marched in the same manner and seemed to share the same opinion on everything and how they were all so obsessed with that club of theirs? She didn't like it. It was too cult-like.

"You don't think they're into stuff like brainwashing do you?" Sarah asked and Jenny noticeably quivered.

"Don't give me nightmares. I'm worried enough for Katie as is." Jenny replied. Right as she finished the sound of rusting grass caught their attention.

"What was that!?" Sarah asked. The two looked around but saw hide nor hair of anyone in sight. It could have been a mugger... but that didn't make sense. Walking into central park? You'd have to be a pretty brave or stupid mugger to do something like that. Maybe it was just an animal? A humanoid form ran past Sarah and she jumped back. Jenny caught her before she was about to fall into her arms and supported her friend up.

"What is it?" Jenny asked.

"Something just walked past me," Sarah gasped. Jenny adjusted her raven colored hair and helped her friend steady.

"Don't worry Sarah. I'm sure-" stab. That's all that could be described from it. Sarah watched as a humanoid figure came up from right behind Jenny are plunged a strange syringe like device into her shoulder. She watched as the figure behind Jenny revealed her sleek and slender form, her dark eyelashes and short brown hair. Sarah's eyes widened when the face she saw was all too familiar to her.

"Sarah..." Jenny made a pitiful call as she collapsed into her arms and Sarah, with as much strength as she could muster, lowered her friend safely to the ground.

"Katie..." Sarah breathed as she looked up at the figure. She wore a tight silver outfit that fitter her figure perfectly, the only furnishing the uniform had was gold trimming at the shoulders and neck, a gold belt strapped across her waist and a bright golden badge across her chest which gave the girl an almost robotic, almost alien, appearance.

"Do not worry Sarah," Katie spoke calmly and happily. As though she was simply visiting with them as she always did. She bent over and knelled down before Sarah, drawing another one of those syringes from the shining belt she wore. Sarah looked into her eyes with confusion and fear, she saw the eyes of her friend... yet they were unnaturally calm. As though all tension and fear were removed from them. There was an almost delusional look inside them. Sarah was going to call out, to demand why she had come here, dressed like that and injecting Jenny with some weird fluid she'd never seen before. But before she could answer the syringe Katie was holding had already gone into her neck and had started injecting the solution inside.

Sarah sat there with a passive stare as Jenny began to rise. The girl stood tall and perfectly still, a complete confidence and precision was in each of her motions now. As though she had been trained to act this way her entire life. When she stood up and raised her head she did it tall and proud. When she looked to Katie, her savior and ally, she did so with a genuine smile of gratitude. How wonderful it had been for her to abandon her old way of life.

"Thank you Katie," Jenny said as she smiled to the silver clad girl.

"Think nothing of it. My friend," Katie replied as she returned the smile of gratitude. "What designation are you?" she asked.

"Drone, such as yourself," Jenny replied.

"How wonderful!" Katie shouted with ecstasy.

"Indeed," came a third voice. Both turned and smiled as Sarah rose from her kneeling position and smiled at both of them with the same cheerful and welcoming smile "It is indeed grand to be apart of something much greater," she said.

"Let us go and embrace our new lives!" Jenny said. With that, the three girls walked off. Hand in hand. To go and explore their new future together.

Sam, Clover and Alex. Three seemingly normal high school students. But behind their normal exterior was a trio of girls who had consecutively saved the world time and time again from multiple villains, evil organizations and dark forces. Yet despite their success and their dedication one must remember that their success relies on as much luck and careful planning as it does on simple fate. No one can be sure if and when they will fall to their dangerous path. But it is certain that they will eventually. How and when? That's up to god.

Sam, Clover and Alex walked down the busy concrete path toward the high school they had come to recognize as Beverly Hills High. Sam and Alex both had a look of apathy on their face, to them it was a normal school day. But to Clover it looked like a shining bright utopia. Her eyes practically beamed with positive energy as she skipped along up to class.

"What is it Clover?" Alex asked as she saw Clovers overly energetic expression.

"Isn't it obvious?" Sam asked.

"Mandy's gone!" Clover shouted.

"Who? Mandy!?" Alex shouted, apparently surprised by the news.

"Yup. Mandy is gone. Off to Japan for the whole semester! She won't be back for another seven months!" Clover stated.

Mandy had been a pain to her since they had met. The two had a startling grudge and competition, mostly Clover deciding on a goal for the week and Mandy claiming she would reach the goal before or better than she did. It was always irking to Clover to have to deal with the girl but having THIS happen? It was too good to be true! Mandy was out of her hair for months! She could actually enjoy school now.

"Come on," Sam said as she lead Clover out to the courtyard. "Let's have lunch."

As they arrived at the courtyard. The first thing they noticed was the group of people gathering around a single location. They couldn't particularly make out what the commotion was about but as they drew closer the three noticed a large poster hanging on the bulletin board in front of the students. The trio made their way past the crowd and saw a small line of students in front of a desk. The young boy at the front was handing out sheets of paper and small badges to the people who came up there.

"What's going on?" Sam asked as Clover and Alex looked up at the poster. The poster was a stylized and expanding rendition of black and yellow hexagons lined up against each other. At the top read the words "Be Apart of Something Greater" in a sleek silver colored text and below it read the huge stylized letters saying "The Hive".

"The Hive?" Alex read. It was an unusual name. If this were some kinda club then it'd make sense that the name would pertain to the club duties.

"Weird," Sam said. Clover was the firs to walk toward the desk, Alex and Sam soon following.

"Hello there ladies, can I help you?" said the boy at the desk with a cheerful grin. He was an unremarkable kid other than his well groomed hair and clean body there would have been no interest in him.

"What's this Hive people are talking about?" Clover asked.

"The hive is an organization," the boy explained "dedicated to creating peace and equality among student bodies all around the world! We have different bases in New York, Texas and even Japan. Now we're setting up a base here in Beverly Hills. And we need new members!" the boy handed Clover a piece of paper "here, take this and read up on what the hive does."

Clover looked it over with a cunning eye.

"Ohhh! Yoga classes, a spa and workout room, all FREE for members?" Clover shouted exuberantly.

"Free?" Alex said, obviously skeptical, "are you sure?"

"Yes," the boy at the desk said "once the base is completed, all activities are free to members. There is no entrance fee either," Clover seemed to be brimming with excitement now.

"Hold it," Sam said "what do members do anyway?"

"Various work," the boy said "we help school relations, charity work, help local businesses."

"Who cares?" Clover said "if I get free access to a spa anytime I want, I'd run my hand through a dumpster."

Sam looked to Clover and thought... this organization was unusual. It seemed to be too good to be true while still being vague at the same time. Yet she couldn't subjectively find anything wrong with it... after all it sounded promising. Even if it was a little weird.

If you think Clover should join go to Chapter A, Let Her Join...

If you think Sam should stop her go to Chapter B, Stop Her...

If you tihnk they should all join go to Chapter C, Suggest they all Join...
