I was looking at all those kids of my age and I felt nervous, my hands were shaking, and I was feeling suffocated as a result of being nervous. Suddenly, a hand-held mine, and eventually I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. "It's going to be okay, just kick all the terrible thoughts out of your mind, whether it is Protego ...or any other division you get chosen for, you will do the best anywhere " Ben comforted me while holding my hands. I flinched when he hugged me and I eventually pushed him away, " are you hypnotized? " I asked, about to vomit. " You don't deserve a brother like me ! ", he said getting embarrassed yet angry at the same time.
" Ben! ". We heard someone calling Ben out from behind, Ben turned around and found his friend, " Oh! Martin! ". The next minute, he and his friend left me alone, with just invisible air around to accompany me in that unknown place. I sat on one of the seats there. I saw a girl's back facing me, who was sitting in the row before me. She looked familiar, it took me a while to realize that she was my best friend. " Zoe !", hearing that she turned around, to find me, a smile crept on her cold tone skin, her short jet-black hairs reaching till her chin, bangs on her face, and freckles on her nose and cheeks making her look adorable. She waved at me, got up from her seat, ran in my direction, and sat beside me. We waited for Mariah for a while but she was nowhere to be found.
A few minutes later, everybody settled down, and we heard someone's voice on the speaker which was attached to the walls in every corner of the hall. " Welcome kids, the day has arrived which you have all been waiting for, we will take your division test today, this test has 3 parts in itself, the first part is a blood test and through this test, we will find out if you have some illness because during illness we are not supposed to carry out the other two test. After the blood test, you will be taken to a quiet room, you will be interviewed about what you experienced after hitting puberty because after hitting puberty you started experiencing all those powers you are going to get in the future. After this test, you will be put to sleep, and our expert Ameliorates will show you artificial nightmares just to examine you finally your division will be identified, and your names will be displayed on the screen one by one so keep your focus on the stage, as you see your name kindly enter through the door on the center of the stage.
An hour later I found my name written on the screen.
" HANNAH LEWIS KNIGHTLEY"
DAUGHTER OF AMELIORATE LEWIS KNIGHTLEY AND AMELIORATE JULIE KINGSLEY
The moment I found it on the screen my hands started shaking, and I kept feeling a tickling sensation in my chest, I took a few deep breaths to reduce that weird sensation and took my steps towards the door. I stood a few inches away from that black door and then it opened itself and I saw a narrow hallway, which was of course black. I took steps inside and as soon as I was officially on the other side of the door, now it closed itself. I walked inside and saw a source of light a few distances away, I took big steps this time since I wanted to escape this darkness. I was near it and realized that it was a room, I entered it and found out that it was a laboratory. I saw a tall man in his late thirties wearing a yellow cardigan and trousers and a transparent holographic yellow lab coat, he was wearing lab goggles.
" Miss Knightley! glad to have you here, have a seat " he said while pointing to a seat, he gave me a warm smile and sat parallel to me on his chair. He took out an injection from the drawer of the table, and he asked for my arm, I hesitated but gave it to him and turned my face away facing the left side, and closed my eyes tightly. He took out the needle when the injection had sucked my blood to its full capacity. He then pushed my blood out in a glass tube.
I stared at the blood in the glass tube when he was closing it with a lid, I saw that my blood started puffing up like shaving foam, and it started turning black. I blinked my eyes a few times while shaking my head from left to right, and again focused on the inner side of the tube but realized that I was not hallucinating, I frowned, staring at the bizarre moment of my blood. The ameliorate noticed the puzzled look on my face and then followed the direction of my eyes. He raised the glass tube bringing it to the level of his forehead, and before he could speak he heard a crack sound.
"What is thi- ", he stopped when the glass cracked
He examine the blood aghast, and he eventually knew what was happening. he placed the tube on the table and started taking steps away from the table. " Hannah take your steps away, it might be dangerous ", he said in a low tone. " what is happening? " I asked getting terrified. " it's not blood, it's more like lava ", he responded." Then are we not supposed to put it somewhere cold, so it might cool down? " I asked getting confused. " Hannah... Lava takes at least eight months to cool down" he answered backing away. I saw a crystal-like liquid running down the glass tube and asked again, now this time backing away, " What is that liquid running down the tube? now don't say that my blood is a type of lava that can make crystal liquid " I asked in a confused, questionable, scared yet angry tone. " It's melting the glass, it might burst! so maintain a wide distance !", he said, this time in a worried and serious tone.
I backed away more, and the moment that I eyed the glass tube, was the moment it burst and the blood ran down from the tube to the table, approaching me meanwhile also melting the table, I saw my blood approaching me but I was so shocked that I couldn't even move. " Hannah! Run! ", I heard the man's faint voice but I was not ready to react to it. He took a black cloth and threw it on the flowing blood so it might absorb the blood on the floor before it burns me but the cloth turned into ashes. My eyes widened as the blood came in contact with my white boots, but it didn't burn my boots at all. Many emotions were running in my head as the blood climbed up my legs and then over my cardigan, it touched my neck but I felt nothing. I was quite shocked and so my mouth was open wide, as it entered my mouth, all I felt was a sweet taste, strangely it went down my mouth even if I wanted to throw up. When all the blood invaded my mouth and ran down my throat, my eyes turned downwards just to see if my blood created any mess on my clothes, but strangely my clothes were clean and so do all those areas where the blood came in contact with.
" Who are you? ", asked the confused ameliorate. " What do you mean? you are an ameliorate, you have all information about the living beings, so Aren't I the one to ask you this question ", I spoke angrily.
The next moment, he pressed a circular green button which was on the wall behind him and I heard alarms. I saw a team of men who were fully covered with some red suits, masks, and goggles. They handcuffed me with black handcuffs and dragged me somewhere.
" LEAVE ME ! .... WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ..... AT LEAST TELL ME MY MISTAKE .... ARE YOU ALL DEAF! I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT ", I shouted at them, tried to push them but they were strong-trained protego. I was scared, Even though I didn't know anything about that bizarre blood. I was questioning my existence. The only thought running inside my mind was this:
" AM I A MONSTER? "
