Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't updated in sooooo long. I had just been so busy with school and all that. I'll acknowledge everyone that reviewed my story in the next chapter, as soon as I get it written. Oh, and I will update my story often now due to the fact that I finally got the AOL to work on my computer. And I have my mom's laptop to work on. Yaa-hoo!

Chapter 3-Power Surge

You must risk everything for the one you love most...

everything...

everything...

All of a sudden, a bolt of pain shot up my back and seemed to spread throughout my body. I gritted my teete, trying to stop the pain from shattering my brain into a million little pieces. It was impossible.

After what seemed like an hour, the pain finally faded away. I collapsed on the bed shaking uncontrollably, trying to understand what had just happened. I sat up slowly, putting my head in my hands. What had that voice ment by You must risk everyone for the one you love most? It just made no sense!

Soon, I heard a pair of footsteps in the hall. Oh, great, now Jazz is going to tell me that the house is haunted. But as I listened, I realized that it wasn't Jazz. It was way too quiet for it to be her. I looked up.

It was Danny.

I was shocked. Danny had a "WHAT THE HELL JUST WENT ON IN HERE?" look on his face. He hesitated, then walked into the room and sat next to me on the bed. He put his hand on my knee.

"You okay? I saw the flash of light and thought it might've been a...oh never mind." He turned his head and looked out the window.

"Yeah I'm fine." I paused for a second and I suddenly remembered something."Oh my god!" I practically fell off the bed.

"What? You remember something?"

I was almost in a state of shock." I..I remembered something. I think I know what happened to me. Before I came here, I was a test subject for the U.S. Government."

Danny just stared at me." WHAT?"

I nodded." Yeah, I know. Well, about a month ago, they decided to do one last test. It was to develop some kind of...better soldier or something. And if nothing happened, they would put me in foster care, destroy all government records of me, create new records for me and leave me alone. So they injected the test stuff and...nothing happened. They waited and waited, and finally I ended up here." I looked at Danny.

He was sitting there, open-mouthed and speechless. I smiled. I liked to amaze people. Just the feeling.

"So now I think something is happening to me. Like a mutation or something." I immedately looked at my hands to see if I was glowing or growing extra fingers. Nope.

Danny got up."Well...that's enough excitement for one night." He walked to the door. Turning around, Danny asked me the one question that haunts me every day.

"Do you know who your parents were?"

I sighed."No. All I remember is being in a shelter until I was 8. That's all I can remember."

"Oh." Danny turned to walk out, then he turned around again." I'm sorry for being nasty earlier. I was just mad about...something from school. Oh, and be up at 7. We have to be at school early to get your schedule. I also want to introduce you to Sam and Tucker. Well, g'night." Danny turned around and headed into the hall. As he walked out I saw him holding the green thermos.

Well, there's something about that thermos that is special and I'm going to find out what.

Well, what happened in the next 24 hours will rock my world.

Well, that's it for now. I will update sooner cause' I have AOL!

P.S. If anyone has a Nintendo DS and Animal Crossing, send your friend code to my e-mail, and I'll send you mine. I want to visit other towns and make new friends!
