"You better be back early enough to make dinner or hunger would be the least of your regrets." I hear my aunty say over the counter.Sighing silently so as not to anger her, I pick up my water bottle and strolled out of the houseGetting outside, I could finally breathe; the air was refreshing and the quietness was therapeutic.Getting away from their barks of order was the most relieving thing…..ever.The walk to the bus station was a long one as we lived in the heart of the City.Sidon wasn't such a big city but it was beautiful especially her inner parts.After inheriting all that my parents left behind for me after their deaths, my aunty and her family got their dream house; my parents house and all the money from their insurance which legally, rightfully belonged to me.I really should be grateful they even let me under their….my roof and spared me something money to feed from which I took the bus.I couldn't take the school bus, I had been severely warned by Justin and his gang.

No, I'm daydreaming.Wrong! I'm hallucinating.I should see the City's therapist soon.He offered me therapy for free after my parents' death five years ago.There's a good chance he'll help me again.What if he doesn't?I can't seem to think straight since I encountered that creep and then the other one.How the hell did he even erase their minds with just a snap of his fingers?FLASHBACK"S-U-P-E-R P-O-W-R-R-S." The second one spelled out."There's no such thing as Superpowers." I argued,unsure.I had watched my own blood flow back into my wrist, supersped and saved a girl, watched this guy wipe out people's memories and could see the other one that claimed to be invincible.None of these were real,None of these could be real.I was hallucinating, I should get treatment soon."Your parents should have told you about the damn Chorazin before their death. I can't believe I'm about to babysit an ignorant Ash." The memory wiper seemed pissed.What the hell?!Did I just refer to him as

A portal had appeared in my room and a strong force from the other side had pulled me in.I recognized it as a portal because I had seen it severally in comics.But then, if it had appeared in my room then all of this was…No! "Don't say it Kastin." Somehow, those words never came out of my mouth.I was now traveling through a hole with many bright colors at a speed that shouldn't be real.It felt cold in here and I felt like puking but I didn't.Eventually, I landed on something really hard and I puked.When I felt a little better, I took time to take in my surroundings.Right now, I was in a really dark place but it wasn't so dark that I couldn't make out the giant door in front of me.Where did it lead to?Do I push it?What happens if I'm not dreaming and I end up in the worst places possible?No, this couldn't be real.It had to be a dream and maybe when I push those doors open, I'll return to reality.The thought of returning to reality made me feel better.Soon, the only thing

I stormed into his office, not caring to knock."What the hell is this?!" I yelled at the principal.My anger leveled up when I saw Ivan sitting at the Principal's desk."I told you Ash, you would never fit in the school." Ivan laughed, walking up to me to pat my back."That's not true! I'm sure you did something. How do I know there's nothing wrong with your ranking system?! You mentioned the portal being broken, I'm definitely sure your ranking system is broken too. How could I not belong to any grade?!" I yelled at the Principal who maintained his cool."Trust me Kastian, we are as surprised as you are. No Special in the academy since her existence has ever not been unable to be ranked. And if there was anyone who would break such protocol, it should never be you. Your parents were great Specials. Your father didn't have a Special ability but then, even he was ranked. Your mother had the strongest prototype and she passed it down to you. The Ranking system already revealed you inhe

I checked every part of the academy that I knew but she was not there.The Specials who had gone on the same mission with her had all returned.As a matter of fact, I saw a lot of them around the hall where I had my first class."Hi."After going all over the academy and still not being able to find her, I decided to ask one of the Specials."Well, if it isn't fire boy." The tall guy with dirty blonde hair with whom I had spoken to, laughed.His friends tried to say something to him but he waved them off.They took one last look at me before walking away."Do you have any idea where Magda might be?" I asked him.The humor in his eyes glistened like there was suddenly something funny about me."Why? Are you interested in my sister?" He asked and I was taken aback.How could he be Magda's brother?They didn't in any way, have any resemblance."Oh, I didn't know you were related to Magda."I was suddenly thankful he was.Maybe he knew Magda and I spoke and then decided not to be mean to
