Chapter 7:
I started to choke on my apple slice and grabed my water quickly drinking it down to help stop my little scene. Not my fault. I'm not always like this. It's just for the fact that HE is in the Wolf$ pack thing too...Com'on, how in hell is that fair? Alex doesn't even know him I bet...I bet she thinks he's all sweet or something and its not like HE was the one who made me like this in the first place. Okay so I can't really blame him for that considering if he didn't someone else would have or I would be dead right now...But still!
Things To Know:
When you get 'turned' into a Bronical it's not like what it might sound like. You see, you where always have been one and always will be untill you die however special way your type of Bronical dies. Lucky you huh?
Anyways. What happens is kind of simple when you think of it. You have been a Bronical all your life, If you aren't turned, you die. If you are turned then you become a full out Bronical.
Explained a bit more for those who care:
Well, the council gets together every solsise and talks about whose a new Bronical and if they should turn them or not. About 75% of births are human and 25% are bronicals and there are some cities heavily populated with bronicalslike where I am, Others have very few so some of them are alone actually. 5% of those 25% dont make it. They either aren't turned by another Bronical or they aren't discovered so they roam and dissapear from the face of the earth really. There is a lot of them believe it or not.
The council doesn't want our population to get to high because of the fact that we are powerful. The coucil has worked hard to make the message clear that they don't want us going aginst the humans to rule the world and everything. nice to see that message was brought so well to huh?
How you get Turned:
So imagine roaming school and all of a suden someone leads you into a hall. They lost there earing, they droped there phone somewhere. Maybe you thought he/she was cute so you followed in. Once you did though...you get turned. spesifically how is diffrent for everyone.
Those people are called Trackers. They are chosen at age 5 and trained from then on really...
I remmebered how I got turned though. I sighed and picked up my chedder chesse and ham sandwhich. Yummy huh? Not for me at least...I ate it anyways though(Well a few bites every 10 mintiues but either way right?) I glanced quickly over at Tyler to see what he was doing, and like normal he was sitting there talking to the rest of the foot ball team. Typical really. I droped the sandwhich and my vision started going black at the corners, quickly filling into the middle. I couldnt talk. I couldn't move. I couldn't see any more and fell onto the lunch table.
(And for those 'humans' reading this...this is a flash back )
I bit my lip, but hey, you couldnt blame me. First day of grade 9. HighSchool. I was nervous and allowed to be. Sighing, I pushed at the doors onto see them bolted in there place only to see 'Push' writting across them in big, bold, blue letters. Heh...Opps.
"Need help with that?" A voice said behind me and I turned to see a typical guy guessing he's been here a while from his look and you would to I bet. Tall, messyly cut dark hair that just looked right, tan a bit, muscular, deep, drawing, light hazle eyes. And to go with the whole wishing-i-was-still-sleeping look-yet-I-still-look-this-good look was his dark neon blue sweater with 3 big red strips down the sweater and white across the rest.
He smirked seeing I havent awnsered yet. A totaly cute guy at 12 O'clock with a HollyWood smile standing infront of me to help me. No flipping I'm going to be shy for a minitue.
"Huh? Ohh...Yeah sure. Thanks" I mumbled and stand back as he pushes the door waitng for me to go in first. I'm serious. Legit holding the door open for me. Hell yeah!
"Any time...So you a freshman here?"
I nodded and switched my back-pack to my other arm "Yeah, just moved to town a few weeks ago actually"
I smiled to him with he returned warmly with a nod "Cool me too."
was suprised he was a freshman, and new to the city too "Really? Wow cool"
"We got first block together. Wanna come to my locker for a minitue and we can walk to class together?" My eyes lit up. Is he flipping serious! Hell yeah I want to!
"Sure-" I paused. How the heck did he know we had first block together? I didn't even get my schedual yet.
He nodded "Its over here" He motioned down the hall and I nodded following close behind him looking around nervously. We were at the end of the hall. Well basically at a corner right now after about 7 corners turned he finially stoped. "Here we are" He turns back to me, yes, still smiling.
"What?" I asked wondering why he was smiling but before I could ask him that, he took his arm and wrapepd it around my waist pulling me closer with a cocky smirk replaced on his face.
"What are you doing! Dude! . No offence or anything..your nice and all but just meet ya and some new guy touching me like I'm his girl or something isn't on my top 10 list." I sturgged trying to sqirm out but he only held me tighter to my shoulders for I was looking at his eyes. His voice calm and steady almost impossible to read, "Don't hate me after this. A tracker has to do what a Tracker has to do. You'll understand it all later. Untill then..." He took out a short, curved knife with a twirl desin on it. Looking about 100 years old but still sharp and not the friendlist way to introduse a new kid to your school if I do say so myself
"Dont hurt me! please!" I kept sturggling
"shhh...Don't worry Diana. It'll be okay. I'll help you through it" He ran the knife across my forhead in a short line..deep and making some sort of shape but still feeling longer and it hurt. Hurt like hell. Scrach that. Worse then hell
"W-who are you" I was shaking and crying, yet I didnt have the energy to scream. Come to think of it I didnt even have the energy to keep my eyes open apparently, Judging how they closed already and all I could do was stand there
"Tyler, You're friend" I didnt hear more than that. The knife left my skin and I went out with it
"Diana? You okay?" Alex's voice chimed in with a motherly tone and I nodded, looking around to find myself on the ground rubbing my head.
"what happened?" I looked over at bre who sat up offerng me a hand
"You fainted" I took her hand and sat back beside them
"I...Fainted? Oh, Sorry I do that alot apparently" I mumbled and played at my food agian feeling a little watched. Alex looked over at Bre and they did that thing agian where they just look at each other and pass a few nods then go back to talking. It was kinda weird to me but I didn't mention anything, didn't feel like it I guess. I maked sure my hair was covering my forhead. I hated that day...And thanks to him I can't ever have my bangs off my face or else the mark would show...Goody huh?
I'm just happy it's all over
Ohh...You actuall thought for a minitue there it IS all over?
Gosh...you humans today...
Ohh well
You make mistakes
You lurn from them
Then you train for a year to kill the stupid dipshi* who did this to you in the first place
Of course I couldnt kill him...Only a thought
Or do you believe that too?
Sigh...Humans..
