"Kya did you sleep ok last night?" Yumi asked
Yumi, Kya, and Aelita were all walking to school when Yumi noticed Kya looked like a zombie. Kya slowly looked over at Yumi and smiled, but then stared down at the ground.
"I had a vision last night. Bright lights and a man or army were looking for me. Something is coming to find me and I don't know what it is." She replied slowly
"Did you recognize this man or army?" Aelita asked
"Sort of, they all wore the symbol of the school I escaped from. Though it doesn't make sense, what would they want with me?"
"After you escaped they probably want to take you back. Do you want to go back?" Yumi continued
"Don't make me go back there! I hated it; they treated us like animals in a zoo. Always observing our powers, performing experiments and then writing in their notebooks."
Kya hissed rising into the air
"We're sorry Kya, please control your powers." Aelita looked up at her
"I'm sorry, that wasn't called for. If you only knew what it was like in there." She replied landing back on the ground.
They arrived at Kadic and met up with Jeremy, Odd, and Ulrich. Kya ran into Odd's arm and whispered something in his ear. Suddenly they walked away from the group towards the woods.
"What's up with those two?" Ulrich asked
"Kya had a vision last night. She saw the people from the school she escaped from, searching for her. When I asked her if she wanted to go back, she freaked out and levitated into the air." Yumi replied
"What was the name of that school?" Jeremy scratched his head
"Chen's School For The Gifted." Millie appeared handing them the article from the school's paper.
"Thanks Millie." Yumi smiled
"Your welcome." She replied and walked away
"Maybe I could do a search on this school. I doubt Kya is going to tell us." Aelita suggested.
"Good idea. We'll meet at Jeremy's room after school." Ulrich nodded
They all agreed and headed off to class, Ulrich and Yumi stayed back. They walked towards the mess hall and hid behind it. She kissed his soft lips and embraced slowly, while her eyes looked to see if anyone was around. Elsewhere Kya and Odd were walking to class when Kya stopped. She began to breath heavily and collapsed to the ground.
"Kya are you ok? Do you hear me?" He asked
"Odd please… don't leave me." She whispered and passed out.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"What's going on here?" Jim asked running up to Odd
"Fainting spell, we'll have to take her to the infirmary." Odd replied
Jim picked her up and Odd followed him to the infirmary building. A few minutes later her eyes slowly opened and she saw Odd sitting beside her. She smiled and then sat up.
"What happened?" She whispered
"You fainted. Plus you broke your promise, you scared me." He replied
"I'm sorry, but I had another vision. They're here Odd and they want to take me back."
"Who are they?"
"They're from Chen's Schools For The Gifted. Special schools for people, like me, to receive help controlling our powers. Underneath we were guinea pigs in a huge experiment. Dr. Chen used my DNA to transfer to two other children he kept in isolation. Their names were Roxie and Sam. Once they awoke, they had my powers and Chen helped them to master them. He kept us together, performing other tests to see how strong our powers were. One night Roxie and Sam were taken away for hours, but returned looking so old, as if they had the life drained out of them. That's when I knew I had to get out before I turned into one of them."
"Are Roxie and Sam still alive?"
"Yes, but they're so weak. Chen is holding them somewhere and I promised I'd get them out."
"Kya, they were like family to you. Weren't they?"
"You could say that. I protected them and made sure they didn't suffer as I did."
"We'd better meet up with the others. They're all in Jeremy's room."
"Ok."
As they left the infirmary and headed to Jeremy's room. When they came in, Aelita turned to see them walk in. Everyone turned and as they gathered around Jeremy's computer. Kya soon came face to face with the place that felt like a prison.
"You're probably wondering what it was like there. What you see in front of you is a lie. All those happy faces, it was never a safe place to be in." Kya began slowly
"What was it like?" Aelita asked
"All the students were experimental guinea pigs for Chen's bidding. There were times where we'd be forced to use our powers until we became tired. When I went there, two other children were given my DNA. They turned out just like me, the same powers, everything. Their names were Roxie and Sam. I protected them, until Chen took performed one last experiment, making them weak and helpless. Though their powers became much stronger than mine." Kya continued
"Kya knows they're alive. She was hoping to get them out." Odd added
"The security looks impossible to hack into. Kya how did you get out?" Jeremy asked while he was typing.
"I used my powers to disconnect the system. Looks like they got a new one." Kya replied. "Look I'd better go, I just need to be alone right now."
She left the room, shutting the door behind her. Odd didn't move, but turned back to Jeremy.
"I have a feeling Chen is looking for Kya." Aelita began
"What make you say that?" Ulrich asked
"Last night Kya said she had a vision. An entire army was looking for her, pus she saw bright lights." Yumi interrupted
"Though why wait so long to come after her. I mean it has been so long, since Kya met us. It's something to think about." Jeremy continued
"Maybe they know more about her than we do." Aelita suggested; "Unless you all think it could be bigger than that."
"Anything is possible, but we'd better keep a close watch over her." Jeremy ordered
Outside Kadic Kya walked towards the woods and sat beneath a large tree. Everything around her seemed peaceful, until she had the strange feeling someone or something was watching her. She looked around, but saw nothing. As she closed her eyes, she leaned her head against the tree. In another part of town, a young girl accompanied by an older man walked along the busy streets. The girl appeared old, pale, and dressed in a simple blue dress. Her hair was white and tied into a braid, draping down her back.
"Where is she Roxie?" the man asked stopping in front of a small café.
"She's not far from here. I see woods all around her, plus a school not far away. Why do you want her back so badly? You have two others just like her." She replied slowly
"We made Kya a weapon of death. If attacked by outside forces she'd become strong enough to kill. That's why we have to take her back and terminate her. This experiment was a complete failure. Now let us return home, we'll be coming back for your sister soon."
"Understood." "Kya if you can hear me. Chen is looking for you, he's going to harm you in some way."
"Where are you?" Kya asked closing her eyes
"In Chen's personal limousine. Sam is getting weaker everyday, please rescue us." Roxie replied
"Just hold on a little longer. My friends and I are coming for you two."
