Eric
As we were almost to the air strip when it turned into a cave. No, really. I didn't know if was imagining things until, I heard the gasp of three kids. I couldn't see properly, even though the cave was glowing in a weird way. It took me a couple seconds to process what I'd heard, three kids? Should there be more gasps? I thought. Or can only me and three other people see the cave?
I tried to focus my eyes to suit the near dark. I looked to see all the other kids around me. But there weren't any, except for what I made out to be two girls and a guy. Even that dragon of a stewardess, had gone. The others kids looked as shocked as I felt.
I was beginning to very much regret the fact, that I was even here. I shouldn't have, I'm too stupid, was my next thought. I did think it was strange, that me, Eric the loser who was good at nothing, was chosen for an international school. But I had convinced myself, they had chosen my name at random. Right then, I wished that I was at home in England. Nice, safe and sound.
All of a sudden, I could barely see a man coming from within the cave. Ah, I said to myself, he'll explain everything. But the man just told us to get out, as the door opened and the stair appeared. By then, I just ignored anything weird.
Us kids shrugged and did as we were told. As soon as we walked off the plane, it disappeared. Now that I could not ignore. I turned toward the man, hoping for some reassurance or something, but he was no longer there. By then I was more than worried, but what happened next, I nearly wet myself at. The cave closed! No openings anywhere and now total darkness. Was this a good time to tell you, I can't stand small spaces?
You couldn't see anything, not even the smallest hint of light. As if to mock us or something, a bright light came on, a blinding one at that. Then a voice said "Come to the light." So we must be dead, I thought. At least it didn't hurt. The others must have come to the same conclusion. I could hear mutters of " I never did -", "I can't believe I'm dead." and "Is this what happens when you die?"
We walked towards the light, once passed through it, found a sort of strange laboratory. Although there were no experiments, just tables. I said lab, because that's what the room felt like, rather than a class room. If this is hell, it not that bad but if it's heaven, it sucks.
Suddenly, on the middle table appeared. After what we had been through, nothing could have surprised us. Or so I thought. He looked like most people imagine a god to look like, an old man with white hair and a long white beard.
He spoke in what seemed like music, "You are the four to defend the universe. You will be the ones to save it but only if you work together." The kids and I burst out laughing, as this some kind of elaborate joke? Whatever, it was the most ridiculous thing ever. Us? Superheroes of the universe? Yeah, right!
The old man didn't seem deterred as he spoke again, "This is a form of expression, right? Well you may think, the idea of you being the saviors of the universe is humorous. But I don't. Haven't any of you experience your powers? Anna, what about your psychic power, or Larrissa, your ability to change forms? James, your speed ability and Eric, your great strength and amour? Any of you?"
It wasn't so funny now, he knew our names. But how? He was definitely mad, even more so than me. A girl with dark brown hair, looking very nervous asked, "Um, I have, um, Mr...you. I can foretell the future sometimes. I get images in my head. But more than that. The fortune of the person is more. I feel the person's feelings, know who they are and even see their family and friends. I don't know who you are, but you know me. And I need to know why I have this power." With that she stopped and blushed. Great another psycho.
/ This is story I wrote four, almost five years ago, back when there are no chapter ability. I finally decided to put it into proper format. Excuse the poor writing :P /
