BEETLE
ORIE'S P.O.V
"Are you sure you're ready? you could just stay back at the house and rest while we take care of things?" Haily asked me as she rummage through her bag. "You've asked me that a few times already and I always say that it's alright" I sighed in exhaustion as we step out of the vehicle and people were already looking our way even before we got out.
"I don't know if they're cool or creeps jeez"
"I've always dreamed about having superpowers but it seems dangerous"
"Don't mind them, mom would be here any minute now" Jameson said as he turns to face us but we weren't able to respond when three vehicles arrived at the parking lot and everything happened so quickly. We were being protected by some bodyguards while there are students and some news people swarming at us; asking questions about the incident.
"Hey careful!" Marille yelled as we are being squeezed just to get inside the campus. I was really trying to hold back from using my ability and I can see how Danny is also eager to pull herself together. It took quite some time but we managed to get inside while they shut the gates so no one can enter the campus aside from the school members.
"Ladies, follow me" We turned to face an acquaintance of ours; Dr. Gissele. It was already school hours so there were no students outside the buildings but there are students who are peeking outside the windows but we didn't let that get to us. Dr. Gissele lead us to the principal's office.
"Sit down everyone" She motioned us to take our seats as soon as we all entered the room. The principal was nowhere to be seen so I guess its just us. "Well, I think you all have an idea why I am here this very moment, and to be honest, i'm not mad" Gissele chuckled as she took out a cigar and puff some smoke. "Wait-aren't you supposed to be mad at us because we were found out?" Hypo raised the question. She looked at us with a satisfies look.
"Let me clarify some things honey. First, I loathe the organization and looking at how chaotic things are back there, I bet they are dying to get their hands on the source and as well as to you ladies; second is that I'm proud because you guys are the living proof that my sacrifices weren't for naught and besides, there are a lot of people there willing to pay any price just to have my audience" She said in a proud tone.
I ceased my brows to what she said but I let everything sink in first before raising another question. "Then why are you here?" I asked but she motioned me to stop on my tracks when the door leading to the room opened and entered are familiar faces. "Wait-what are they doing here?" I asked pointing the four persons I know; Janna, Alcquin, Ambrose and Dwight.
"Well, Mr. Jacque and Mr. Linculn are now are as to why they are here while Mr. Guttierez here was one of the witnesses here while this pesky rat who gave me the fame is this young lady right here" Dr. Gissele said as she points out Janna that bewildered me. She signaled them to come closer but Ambrose was hesitant to come any closer but he still did.
"These young men will be a part of a new team that I will put together along with you while I shall take custody of this young one for the mean time as we manipulate her memory" she continued that caused Janna to tremble as fear probably starts to reach every corner of her body.
I weren't close with her in the first place so it won't really do much to me but i still feel bad for her. Two men took Janna away from us and left the room. "I understand why you have to do such thing to her but why is Ambrose getting dragged along this shit?" Haily asked as she stood up.
"We'll get to the point later but for now, why don't you say we change locations? any moment now and this place would be swarmed by the authorities" Dr. Gissele suggested which we just agreed on since she got a point. We used the emegency exit of the school and as soon as we got out, there were already some vehicles ready for us.
Jameson had to occupy the vehicle where her mother was and so the rest of us occupied the remaining vehicles. I was in a car with Marille, Danny, Haily and Ambrose. "Hey, you alright?" haily asked Ambrose who seems to be a little bothered about the events. "yeah, everythings is just happening too quick. One moment there were just transfer students and now there are friends of mine that has super powers" He joked but i can sense that he was still on edge.
"Hey, relax. It's just us and we won't let anything happen to you" I reassured him which he responded with a small smile. "I gotta admit though, you guys were so cool out there" He said to break the awkward atmosphere. "If I get the chance, can you guys show me in person; I mean your abilities?" He asked but it made me chuckle for a little bit. "It seems like it won't only be a chance though" I said that made him rub his nape
We arrived at a place that took us hours before getting there. It was far from the civilization and it was in the middle of nowhere. "Where is this place? some kind of hidden facility?" Danny asked. It was already noon and we just didn't mind the hunger we were enduring the whole time. There was a huge space and some modern house and some facilities if I'm not mistaken. The driver opened the door for us so we step out and had a better look at the surroundings.
"Welcome to my hidden kingdom"
