Life of Mai:Intermission:Gene's Story

Life,at Old Oak orphanage was a experience I'd like to forget..

But just this once,I'll tell our story.

And maybe I'll finally be able to rest in peace.

...

When my younger brother,Oliver,and I were left on the steps of Old Oak,we were not but five years old.

Oliver,or Noll,as I called him,couldn't stop crying.

"Wheres My mommy!? I want my mommy!" He screamed,and clung to my shirt.

"Shh Noll,Mommy isn't coming now,not ever." I told him,crying a bit me the door to the orphanage swung open and me and my brother came face to knee of a very pretty english had long brown hair and deep,sorrowful brown eyes.

"Oh my!" She gasped,and exclaimed something,I couldn't quite my mother spoke at that place,was english was totally out of the question.I really only knew a few key Phrases.

"Help...us..." Was all I could say.

She nodded,scooped us up and brought us inside.

I found out later that the womans name was Verdona,and she was a new employee and a former orphan herself.(She was only 17 at the time.)We were to be her first wards.

She led us into a white room,with white beds,and walls and was...blank.

I looked up at her,expecting a did not disappoint.

"Think of it as a blank canvas boys! Feel free to decorate as you will."She smiled sweetly.I nodded,and Noll just stared at the room like an artist looks at a ..blank canvas.

Life with Noll and Verdona for the next three years was very pleasant was like our mother,our teacher and closest confidant all in was also the first person to notice our...less than human abilities.

"Noll,Gene what are you doing?" She asked us one looked up from our favorite game of ,who had become increasingly indifferent to life,went back to the game.

He let the ball rest in his palm and closed his eyes in ball began to hover just above his 's eyes widened.

"How are you doing that Oliver?"She gasped. Noll rolled his eyes at her and looked at me.I sighed.

" Verdona,Noll is focusing all his mental energy into one thought 'Ball:Float'.His mental energy is so great,that the thought has taken a physical form and the ball is actually floating." I informed nodded in confirmation of the info,and the ball shot towards me.I caught it one handed and let it float in my hand.

"You can do it too,Gene?" She said in a whisper.

Noll scoffed."Well yeah,we are twins aren't we?"

And with that she left. We expected her to tell the head mistress,who-being a hardcore catholic-would believe us demons and burn us at the stake.

But she didn't.

I asked her about it one day.

"Verdona,why didn't you tell HeadMistress Gwendolynn about Noll and I?" I asked her. Noll,who was reading a book on psychokinesis,set it down and faced us.

"Yes,please tell."

"Well.."She began."I was going to but I decided to do a little investigating among the children and I found that all but 7 of the children have some type of power like yours."

My face lit smiled slightly and went back to his book.

"Thank you Verdona.."I Whispered.

"No problem,Gene." She smiled.

And thats when I knew I loved her.

On our Ninth birthday(Verdona gave us our birthday,because,why not?) We were introduced to some of the other children with powers. AmberLynn,a very pretty blonde,and the object of everyones affection;Theo,a cute little tyke who can barely speak;Alexy,An older boy with brown hair and brown eyes,who could easily be Verdona's brother or child;And finally,Lysander, a boy our age with black hair and green eyes.

I don't know why but..

I hated him.

So very much.

The way he acted seemed too perfect.

Not Noll perfect, wasn't an act,he just was.

Lysander was trying to be way he smiled,walked, eveything was planned out.

He was worse than Noll.

This guy is not normal.

AmberLynn was a bit off, had a weird sparkle in her eyes.

Theo and Alexy were simply was fun to be around,and I really liked reminded me so much of Verdona,it was crazy;And Theo was so sweet it hurt sometimes.

Even Noll couldn't help but smile at his antics.

But even the longest periods of calm must be interrupted by Chaos.

Next up,how Alexy really died...and the first encounter with the davis's
