~*~ Yes, I know the summary changed. Get used to it, I change it a lot. And
please don't flame! I know that the battle school is destroyed! I know it's
impossible for Destiny to obtain that information! I know this goes against
OSCs style! I am a beginner. Please help me to improve my stories… e-mail
me at MysticalDawn41@yahoo.com, or just talk with me about OSC! And btw,
R&R!~*~
Chapter 2~ Confusion
Destiny sat up in bed. A rush of emotions swept through her- excitement, nervousness, suspense…She was going to battle school!
***
The alarm clock rang. Destiny slammed her fist on it. I wonder how the mess hall looks like… she could almost picture it in her mind…
"Sup fart face?" said a boy, leaning on her bedroom door.
"Nothing, bugger breath."
She went into the kitchen and started on her oatmeal. Her brother Ben appeared in the door way again.
"Stop stalking me, fart rat. Have some respect for the battles school soldier."
He sniggered. "What have you been smoking?"
"You're just jealous." Don't let him get to me. I'm going away.
"Jealous of what? Your pathetic grades? Your 'style'?"
'I'm going to battle school," she ground through her teeth.
"Yeah, well good luck finding it," he said and walked away.
She panicked. She ran to the computer in her room. Quickly she scanned the hard drive. Looked through her files. Searched for her disks.
"No… no…" she whispered. She restarted the computer and searched again. It wasn't a dream; it felt so real… She found hot tears rolling down her cheeks. She as over-reacting, she knew, but it was so real she could hear the voices, she the outlines of Major Anderson and the office…
Her sorrow turned to anger. I should have known, she thought. I can't even cook let alone hack into the government's website and… and….
She threw the monitor and it crashed onto the floor. She fled trying to escape what she could not.

Bean checked his e-mail, and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Nikolai noticed he was unusually silent. "What is it Bean?"
"I'm not sure," Bean lied, "But my instincts are trying to tell me something. I'll figure it out."
Mother looked up from the kitchen sink. "Maybe a walk will help. It usually does."
Bean looked at her and felt warmth spread to all of his fingerprints. He looked around. For once he felt secure, more than ever at least; he had a family…
And it clouded his thinking. Yet something was wrong. He felt all of the sudden like he couldn't breathe…
"I need some air," he said. "I'll be back before lunch."
"Are you sure that you want to go alone, Julian?" There might be terrorists outside trying to get your autograph," his father joked. HIS father. Belonging to HIM…
"See you," he said and winked to him.
Bean walked down the road. On his e-mailed daily news report there was a brief message about accepting new applications to a new battle school. But the battle school doesn't have a reason to exist, he thought, so what kid of a scam is it and who's up to it? The government? Unlikely. Who could have the power, there, to spread this message over the world and cover it so no one can tell it's fake? Locke.
No, thought Bean, he would never ruin his chances in the government and to take over the world like that. Then who…? Bean suddenly felt a strong pain in the back of his skull. His vision got blurry and he collapsed onto the ground.

Destiny did not know where she was. Far from home, of course. But lost as she was, she refused to give in and go back. She must find the answers to her questions. And somehow, she thought, I must find myself.
~*~ Okay, I know that this is confusing, it'll clear up soon. Flame me if you want. I don't care. I'm new at this, I just got into the books like 3 weeks ago so… and OSC, if you're reading this piece of unworthy trash, please know that I love your books and you better write more in the series! ~*~
