Queen Luana: I've got the feeling like I'm writing this for myself since I'm just not getting any reviews… sigh… Well, I enjoy reading my own works, so it ain't too bad. Wow, I am so full of myself.
Part VI
Anti Mutant Association
"Sometimes I could just – UGH!" Siska cried and mimiced twisting Zino's parents necks. Luana chuckled and they sat down in Biology, one of the two courses they were taking together. The other one was gym. "As you were all aware of since last weak, we are now going to watch a tape about the 5 senses of men." Their Biology teacher, Marks announced. A loud shared sigh filled the classroom when the blackboard slid upwards and the large screen pictured the shape of a male's body. "I'd rather if we talked about sixth senses," Siska whispered and Luana nodded, staring dreamingly at the ceiling. She thought about things, about how long earth would last and how much further menkind would evolve…
"Miss Potter? It seems to me like this class is below you?" Luana quickly straightened. "Sorry, sir." A hand shot into the air. "Yes, miss Laurens?" "Sir," Siska began in her polite debating voice. "I was just wondering, this tape is obviously before our time and humanity has evolved during that time. So why discuss any further about our 5 senses when there are people out there who have six?" Marks stroke his remote then nodded and turned off the screen. "The thing is, miss Laurens, that those people out there to whom we refer as mutants, have sixth sense or just special abilities. Cause, as you might've learned, senses are ways of picking up changes in your surroundings. By example if one could make things float with his mind that would not be considered a sixth sense."
Siska nodded. "I see…" Another hand was raised. "Sir, my mother told me there was some sort of gang who was against all mutants?" a red haired girl named Haley said. "Is that true?" "Yes, miss Bock, I'm afraid it is," Marks said and lowered the blackboard. "Also they are not considered to be a gang, more of a society. They are called A.M.A., Anti Mutant Association." He scribled the words on the blackboard. "They have already done many horrible things to mutants, things you couldn't even imagine." Luana peeked at Siska and she peeked back. "What kind of things sir?" Luana mumbled. Marks sighed deeply, raised the blackboard again and pressed a button on his remote.
There appeared the picture of a young boy who could not be much older than twenty, who obviously had the ability to stretch his skin. Since that skin was strained and pinned to a wall, blood oozing down the boy's body onto the street. A few gasps of horror were heard among the students and Siska averted her eyes, there to find Luana trembling again, eye lids closed, eyes rappidly moving around. She was wincing in pain and Siska could only hope no one noticed. But she was out of luck. "No…" Luana mumbled, eyes still close. "No! Jentl! LEAVE HER ALONE!" She stood up without warning and her chair clattered onto the floor, causing her to snap out of it. Everyone's eyes were focussed on her and she panted while looking around the room.
"Luana? Are you feeling alright?" She looked at Siska, and the look on her face told her she had betrayed herself. A few whispers were heard as Luana picked up her chair and nodded. "I'm fine."
"Luana? What was that all about?" Siska asked her when fifteen minutes later their class had ended. "It was nothing, my vision was wrong, they can be wrong from time to time…" Luana mumbled in a hurry, while she marched through the corridors, not minding the other students who she almost ran over. "Luana! Hey what's up?" Siska grabbed her friend at her shoulder. "What did you see?" Luana hesitated for a moment then pulled Siska behind the lockers.
"I had a vision, I don't know when it'll take place but I believe someday soon…" She talked very soft yet fast. "It was Jentl. She was tied to the ground… There was blood everywhere…" Tears rolled down her face but she whiped them off and continued talking. "She was tied down. And they were slashing at her, with chains and whips. She screamed." Her cheeks were now turning red. "And no one helped. It was in broad daylight and no one lend her a hand. No one told them to stop." Siska pulled her against her chest where she sobbed loudly. "I won't accept it being a vision. It just can't be a vision!" "We should go tell them," Siska muttered.
Zino looked as if he had been in a car crash. His lip had obviously been stitched and he had platsers over his face and arms. "Hey," Siska said as they sat down on the chairs in the room. He only nodded and Jentl smiled faintly. "How are you?" Luana asked and Zino shrugged. "Okay… I guess…" Jentl sat down next to them and leaned over to Luana. "They didn't buy the 'fight' story. They're gonna call his parents." Luana bit her lip and Siska, who had overheard it despite Jentl's soft mutter winced. "It's okay…" Zino murmurred. "They usually don't give me two beatings in a row… usually…" Siska turned to Jentl. "You stayed with him in the morning, I'll stay now. Okay?" Jentl smiled gratefully and followed Luana outside as the bell rang.
"What's the matter?" Jentl asked her and Luana raised an eyebrow. "Wha-?" "I saw the way you were looking, something happened." "Well… It's just… I don't think Zino will escape from a second beating…" "No," Jentl sighed. "You were looking before I mentioned that. What's up?" Luana couldn't look her friend in the eyes and instead stared at her sneakers. "It's… a vision… I don't know if it's for real, but…" "Bad?" Jentl cut her off. Luana nodded still staring at her sneakers. "I got it in class and… I started yelling… I just made it pretty clear I'm a mutant. Or insane." Jentl placed a supporting hand on her shoulder. "That doesn't matter. You've got us, right?" "It's not that…"
Luana didn't know what to say. She didn't want to accept the vision, but she also didn't want to hide things from her friend either. "You ever heard of AMA?" Jentl's mouth shivered then she muttered a soft 'yes'. "I take it you're very familiar with them?" "I've heard many horrible things about them," Jentl spoke and leaned against the lockers, then she gave her a piercing look. "Is that what your vision was about?" "No," Luana quickly said. "We had a lesson about them and now everyone knows and… I heard the union has many supporters…" Jentl gave her a friendly pat on the back. "Don't worry about that. Remember the oath. We'll look after each other." They both said goodbye and hurried towards their classes.
Queen Luana: Sigh, took me a while to finish that. Reviews are always welcome, thank you!
