The sun scorched bitterly on my face as I walked across the park, slowly I breath in the fresh air that came with the amazing array of greens that surrounded me
It's unbelievable, I have called this place home for the past 17 years, and now? Well….now I am leaving
As said by the government all students at the age of 17 will be taken to study at military schools provided by the government .
I had already been sent to the mail by the government telling me where I had to be by tomorrow.
My feet grazed slowly grazed along the grass;I was nearing my home . A few minutes later I stood before an apartment complex, the perilous mount to the 18th floor began.
I lived alone; after my big brother left for military school last year . Now it was my turn, I hoped to see him when I arrived at school, I have not heard a word about him since the day he left.
I turned the lock of the rusty door knob with my key,slowly I pulled open the door. As I entranced the room I took a deep breath, trying my best to savor the little amount of this room I had left.
I made my way over to the TV, turned it on and sat on the couch. The news channel was on, it was reporting a monster attack at the grand square.
"A beast has been spotted at city square today, and as you can see on the screen, agents from the government have already been deployed to eliminate the threat, we urge you cititzens to stay indoors until the threat has been neutralized".
The report showed the army agent in sleek black suits fitted to their skin, it was made of special rare material that supposedly only the government had acces too.
My eyes were glued to the screen, I watched as the agents used their abilities to deal with the humongous beast. It towered over all the buildings in the area.
A female agent leaped out of a jet, she plummeted down towards the beast.
In her hands a massive claymore, she began to move in spirals as she plummeted. Blazes of fire began to erupt from the weapon, with a massive boom! She made impact with the monster.
Instantly the monster erupted, the entire square was covered in blood and guts.
I was stoked, 'that's was so amazing I thought'. Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough I was ready to leave. I was ready to fulfil my dreams. I was ready to become an agent of the army's monster termination sect.
....
I woke up early the next morning, and started to preparing to leave the house .
After having a bath and getting dressed, I walked over to the mirror, it reflected a short girl with dark brown skin, a head full of black curls and and brown eyes.
I was officially ready to go. I took one last look around the room before walking out the door and locking it for the last time.
I made my way over to the park where the military had told me to wait, upon arrival I saw a boy. He wasn't tall but wasn't short either, he had blue eyes and brown wavy hair that complimented his fair skin .
I stood a few steps away from him, we just stood there in awkward silence. "Hi my names Daniel,nice to meet you, " I turned my head towards him,his hand was stretched out in my direction. I cleared my throat, " hello Daniel,I'm Beatrix, nice to meet you" , I took his hand and gave it a good shake.
We didn't get to talk at all after that, because at once a large black van came our way.it was the military vehicle. It stoped right in front of us, abruptly two men in military uniforms wearing masks appeared in front of us.
The man on the left began to speak, "Beatrix Quartz, Daniel Black, confirm your identities". We both pulled out our identification cards that the had the official army stamp on it ,proving that we were ment to be here.
"The pictures match, identities confirmed,bag them," the man spoke up once again. Suddenly the two men walked towards us and covered our heads with black bags, they guided us into the van and then sped off.
I sat quietly in the back without fear, after all this was standard protocol to admit students.
This is because all the military schools where hidden, no one knew where they were.
Hours passed by, I didn't know how many we were in the van, but I knew Daniel was here as well .
After what seemed like an eternity the van began to pull to a halt, it shook as the men got off the vehicle.
A huge gust of wind whirled into the van as the door opened. I felt a grip on my arm,swiftly I complied to its movement, the bags were not taken of our head though.
Slowly we were moved for what felt like fifteen minutes, as we stoped moving the bag was dragged of my head. At once I shut my eyes as the scorching sun was intent on blinding me , I slowly reopened them facing downwards so as to no avoid my eyes getting hurt.
I glanced upward to survey my surroundings, all I saw was students all around me ,some had already began to socialise with each other. I suppose they felt making early companions would help them.
I took some more time looking around. It appeared we were in a field and ahead of us a large empty stage stood, that must be where we would be addressed.
I kept my composure, standing towards the edge of the crowd, "Beatrix", I heard my name called out from a direction, I looked around looking for who called.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and slowly turned to see Daniel, he waved at me, "you're the only one that I'm acquainted with, do you mind if I hang around with you?" I simply shook my head, "it's cool, I don't mind company".
He stood next to me me for a few minutes, unfortunately we had fallen into another string of awkward silence.
He cleared his throat l before speaking, "umm what's your ability?", I looked up at him contemplating whether or not I should be giving him that information. I gave it some thought and decided too, after all he was going to find out sooner or later.
"It's called prehensile hair" I said, he gave me a look I was all to familiar with." Ugh I can control my hair ok?".
"Oh,you should have just aid that,can you show me?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes at him, then I began to manipulate the shape of my hair into a small fist and punched him in the gut.
He gasped out of shock, " that was a surprisingly strong pucnh", I had a good laugh at his comment.
After regaining his composure, he tightened the grip on his hand, a long blue whip appeared in his hand. The rope was intricately interwoven,it gave a radiant glow that illuminated our faces, the handle had an intricate mould, covered in gold and black.
"My ability is called energy whip, I'm not going to hit you because you're a girl " he had a smug look painted across his face .
I smirked at him, "trust me you're going to regret that decision in the future".
Hours had passed and Daniel and I had indulged in good conversation, he was a pretty nice guy.
Hours upon hours had gone by, there was no sighn of a higher up. I looked up to the stage, where finally a man in a huge military uniform with badges decorated on the right of his coat stood bold.
He was light skinned and had blonde hair, his eyes were an ocean blue,his body was huge with intense muscle.
He approached the podium and grabbed the microphone, "Attention students welcome to Base 99 military academy, the entrance speech shall begin now".
