Chapter 1
New York Institute
2013
"Who is he?" I heard a voice ask. I tried to open my eyes.
"Shush he's waking up!" A female voice stated. I opened my eyes.
"Where am I?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"The New York Institute." A male voice answered touching me.
"Starkweather if that's you…"I trailed off, the threat hanging in the air unsaid. I sat up and looked around. The Institute looked different. Somewhat newer. Finally my eyes stopped on three kids who looked about his age. One had golden hair and gold eyes. He looked like an angel but a glint in his eye told him otherwise. One beautiful girl had long dark hair and sharp but playful blue eyes. The one next to her seemed to be the exact replica of the girl.
"Uhh you're not Aloysius," I mumbled awkwardly. A woman pushed through the three kids.
"Of course not. Aloysius stopped running the institute years ago." The woman replied.
I stood up and shook my head.
"No he didn't I was there a few weeks ago. He was running the Institute." I disagreed.
"Um no he stopped more than a few years ago." The pretty girl replied.
"What…. year is it?" I asked, panic edging into my question.
"2013." The blue eyed boy answered. My eyes widened in panic and disbelief.
