“What is the last thing you remember?” she asked.“I don’t know. It’s all jumbled up, like my puzzle,” I replied. She looked up at the dark haired woman, but didn’t say anything to her.“Can you think of the last thing you remember that you can clearly identify?” Mommy asked.“I remember coming home from the hospital,” I replied.“You remember that?” she asked. I nodded my head that I did.“Sweetheart, which hospital are you remembering?” Daddy asked, touching Mommy’s shoulder in an odd way.“That hospital Doctor Mead sent me to,” I told him. There was a look that passed between them, but they didn’t say anything else.“You don’t remember anything after that?” Daddy asked.“No, why Daddy?” I asked.“Sweetheart, you were six when that happened. You’re eleven now,” he said, as Mommy kept tugging on his shirt, obviously not wanting him to tell me this.“I’ve been asleep for five years?” I asked.“No sweetheart. You’ve been asleep for a little over a month, but I think you’ve lost a lot o

[EPILOGUE]“Mr. Michael , please explain to this committee how you managed to run a covert program, spending millions of taxpayer dollars, kidnapping children and then attempting to kill people, all without the knowledge of any committee or without any Congressional oversight?” Senator Riley, the head of the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee asked.“Sir, I was tasked with running a training program for children with unique gifts, given to them through their parents. Everything was done with full knowledge of the parents prior to being administered the serum, which granted the abilities,” Michael replied.“Then how do you explain Subjects, 11325 and 11326?”Michael , with a pleasant smile said, “There were some in the early days of the program that were willing to forego some of the basic requirements of the program. They have since been removed from the program.”“And what do you propose to do with the children of those two subjects, who had no prior knowledge of this experiment t

The first time they took her to a doctor, she went into a fit, ending up in the corner screaming, crying and shaking. It was hours before they managed to calm her down enough to go back home. Now, when she went to the doctor for anything, they’d call ahead of time and the doctor’s office would make sure no one was dressed in the stereotypical white lab coat. They also wouldn’t let her participate in Halloween any longer, for fear of a kid dressed like a doctor.There was always a concern that people associated with the Oakmont program would come for them, but there were people continuously fighting for their freedom and privacy. The former Headmaster was reinstated, which shocked her. She had no idea how Michael managed to avoid any criminal charges over the affair, but somehow he had. What also shocked her, and Stone, was that he covered for the entire staff.Randy Brager had actively gone to work again, his entire focus was on undermining the Oakmont program and keeping the girls a

Michael, Headmaster, looked over the results of the most recent FICAT test. Only two students out of the entire sample impressed him, one of whom was the student they had been looking for and had finally found. The additional is a bonus. He remained baffled as to why she had vanished for so long. Naturally, with so few people taking the test. He was surprised that schools had found her at all. At least they had discovered her and her brother, who they had never even heard of before."We should set up a visit to The Frozen North. We want to carry this young woman to Oakmont," he said, his eyes on his lead overseer of newcomers. " We might get a look at the boy while we are there. We must be prepared to hire him, possibly next year.Jessie Trulin looked up at him and said, "If this new test is accurate, she shows a lot of potential."“It is.” He gave her a smile."I've always been fascinated by the idea that a standardized test could identify children with the distinctive abilities we s

Naturally, All Saints Academy, a boarding school, came next. I gleaned tons of useful knowledge there, yet that spot still creeped me out when I mulled over everything. I actually had dreams, or perhaps bad dreams, from it now and then. They involved Mr. Radnick rubbing my entire body in that manner. I had been persuaded by my therapist that it was harmful, and just thinking about it gave me chills. Even though he didn't do it to many kids, Mr. Radnick did some really bad things to some of them, even though he was really nice to me and I probably loved him. Despite the fact that my therapy sessions were a lasting legacy of my time there, I still missed him. I put it behind me and carried on with my morning routine.I put on the little bit of makeup that Momma would let me use while the bacon was cooking. Because he thought his baby girl shouldn't need makeup as an adult, Daddy still teased me about it.Regardless of what Momma and Daddy said, I saw in the mirror that I wasn't a pretty

"This is the test that you took last week. Please remain quiet in class while I distribute these. After that, she gave each student an envelope with their name on it. Except for a compiled score, neither the school district nor the teachers are aware of the results. The purpose of this was to assess the intelligence of students in this grade level for the federal government. We can't use it to change what you're learning or where you're in class. Open it at home and show your parents what it says. She said, "See you tomorrow," as she gave the last envelope to someone.I quickly got up from my seat and headed for the side exit when the bell rang. I slowed down to open the envelope once I was off school property. I didn't have to listen to the other kids' teasing because, fortunately, I drove them all away. I carefully slipped my finger under the envelope's front flap, taking care not to tear the paper.I slid the folded piece of paper out as I lifted the flap to see what was inside. It

After that, he turned back to his parents. Each semester, the Oakmont program costs approximately $15,000 per student, in addition to $12,000 for room and board.Given that I ranked among the top 1% of people in the nation, what he said had me almost vibrating. That was superior to I would've at any point thought, taking into account I generally got scores contrasted exclusively with understudies in The Frozen North, yet this was the whole country!Then I heard how much the school would cost, which made any contention in me disappear. I wouldn't be able to go. For just one semester, that's more than a car would cost. I didn't know anyone who could afford that, and neither could we.As the Headmaster said that, Daddy almost spit out his coffee, but the Headmaster carried on as if nothing had happened. However, to be honest, your daughter's extremely high scores... Her score on this test was the highest ever. We would be willing to provide your family with a full scholarship to help the

My mother and I set out to pack for New York. The fact that Momma was packing for the same weather as Alaska surprised me. Given how far south it was, I would have expected it to be warmer there. I chose to pack two or three great books for the plane ride, which Momma said was extremely lengthy. I rethought my books and added a few more to my carry-on bag because Momma was very serious about it being long. Obviously, my venture envelope was in my rucksack also, which would remain with me on the plane.Momma gave me many long hugs and kisses after we finished packing. She tucked me in and helped me get ready for bed at last. I was glad she did it, even though she had given up doing it after All Saints Academy. Daddy came in a minute later, gave me a lengthy hug, then kissed me. Finally, he gave me a very close hug, which I knew would trigger a tickle attack. I started screaming loudly and messing up Momma's tuck-in job completely as soon as I realized, and the attack started. I'd reali
