The Ominous: Some play it safe, heroes don't のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

 I did not know what to think about this strange invitation with no return address on it. Or why my mother and my best friends treated me like a monster. Or even why were there no doctors or nurses in this supposed hospital. All I knew was I could not stay in this horrible hospital. I went back to my room and looked for spare clothes, but I could not find any. “Crap. How can I get out of here with no clothes and no money?” I said to myself.But then I thought, Wait. Mom always brings an extra nurse outfit in her bag. Under the circumstances, could not say I felt guilty about stealing her clothes. I opened the gym bag my mom left in the room and found extra green scrubs. Luckily, Mom and I wear almost the same size. 

I ’m not sure why I remembered the image of the star now, but the pin the man wore looked almost identical to the one I saw when I probed one of the guard’s minds.  After I had finished my flashback, I pulled out my mom’s letter and the envelope from Zen Academy. On the back, I saw a thin button.  I pressed it and a blue virtual map appeared before me.  “Whoa,” I whispered. My jaw stayed open for about twenty seconds. Would I finally get some answers?  I found Mom’s car and drove toward the railroad. The virtual envelope showed me the way.  I figured it might be the only place I would be safe from this Vanity crap. Forty-five minutes later, I arrived at my destination, an old, a

The entire crowd of students gasped at the sight of the gigantic hologram towering above us. The mere virtual presence of this unusual woman kept us in suspense.  “I am Chancellor Emola Thorne,” the hologram said. “Here at Zen Academy, my faculty and I have made it our objective to seek out each of you based on your exceptional abilities. We know many of you come from households and cities that do not understand your capabilities, or the reason you have frightening gifts. Some of you may have been exploited or hunted by those closest to you because of this. But rest assured, you are safe in this environment. You’ll learn to use these abilities for the betterment of yourselves and all mankind.” I didn’t know why, but I felt safe listening to her talk. I felt enchanted by her words, but reluctant to trust her. I looked at the other students gazing at her as if she was their savior.  “My security drones shall escort you to your dorms,” the chancellor s

As the debris from the two mysterious figures began to dissipate, I recognized the two men emerging from under the dust. One was a bald black fellow and the other was muscular, possibly Native American. “You can get inside, the show’s over,” the bald one said with a British accent. One walked around Natalie while the other one knelt to check her pulse. The bald fellow started talking to me. Then I recalled these two people were the ones I saw in my vision. The bald one sliced the robots in half with his bare hands. The other man lifted an armored tank by himself. “You blokes know how to make an entrance, Ms. North. “Who are you?” I asked. “How do you know my name?” “My name’s Daryl Wailer and Mr. Muscles there is Richard Ardmore. We’re enforcers for the academy.” “What does that have to do with me and my friends?&rdq

What choice did we have? Who could we trust to help? “What the hell!” Adrian said. “How are we going to survive? We barely understand how our powers work.” “Even if we could leave, we’d have nowhere to go,” Eric stated.“The rest of the world won’t understand what we are. Most likely, they’ll try to kill us.
