Electra 1 How It Begin - 10 Chapter 10

We trained like that for at least a week and everything was going fine. Then one day out of the blue we did a different training cause. We went to the simulation floor which was above the training floor. We went in and Slither gave us headphones. A high frequency sound came through and knocked us on our knees. It was ear piercing and we couldn’t take the headphones off. I tried to fry the circuit board but my powers were out. I lasted longer than the boys as they fainted in about 30 seconds, I lasted 45. Slither explained it was a sonic disrupter and it was designed to knock out peoples powers. It makes them weak and different powers take different amounts of time to knock out. We needed sonic disrupter training so we could protect ourselves. “So they have the sonic disrupter too then?” I asked. Slither nodded and told us how to block them out. We concentrated for two hours on how to block out the sonic disrupter. After a whole week worth of training we could block out the sound. Our powers would still be out for a while but we didn’t need them all the time. It was a Thursday at school meaning we had an assembly. It was normally about attendance and behaviour. Today it was a whole school assembly. We walked down thinking nothing of it until I saw commander Obsidian. “Oh no, what is he doing here?” I said. We were all on full alert and I tried to stay hidden. The assembly started with the expectations of everyone because we had a visitor in. He handed over to Obsidian and he introduced himself. “I have good news; three people here are going to be coming to a special school with me. I believe that they will like it because of the tech that we have.” He started. “I have the names, Electra Storm, George Haunt and Jonathan Haunt. Please come down here.” He finished. I looked at the boys and they shook their heads. There were guards coming up looking for us. I didn’t want to go back to the base. Two times was enough for me. They found us eventually and we were being brought to the front of the school. I relaxed when I was a snake on the roof and started to smile. We went out of the school and got pushed into a van. There was blood on the floor near one of the corners and I wondered if they choose this van for a reason. At least I didn’t have the handcuffs this time I thought. I started to talk to the boys about finding out I had magic. I told them about my brothers and everything else that they didn’t know. We arrived at the compound in about 20 minutes. They took us to a room that I would never forget. It was the room my brothers would normally be in. They weren’t at the moment so I had time to hide. My plan didn’t work because as soon as we were put in so were they. They looked at me surprised and even more surprised to see the two boys with me. There was a whirlpool in the room and Loki got swept up by it. I knew who was controlling it and I didn’t try to stop George. There was anger in his eyes and I knew why. He was getting revenge on Loki for controlling him to get to me. “Electra stop him now.” Tommy said. I shook my head and they stared at me. After a while George did stop and we went to sit down on the bean bags. I had my necklace on so that would help with the magic and emotions mixing, but I had my protectors in case I needed them. I didn’t think I would though. The boys changed into what they were in Peaceaver and so did I. I also had the tiara on to show I knew who I was. We tried to contact Slither but he couldn’t be reached. My brothers tried to talk to me, but Jonathan’s powers included a sound proof shield that we kept using. At lunch time we went into a big room and had pizza and chips. There were two tables and we sat on a different table to my brothers. They couldn’t come near us because we put up another shield. We went back to the main room and went back to the bean bags. I started to get a pain in my head again. I looked at Loki and he was concentrating really hard. I knew he was trying to get in my head and I was blocking him out. Then it got to the part where I couldn’t keep him at bay. Jonathan put a protective shield around me and they went to tell Loki to stop. The plan back fired because they got knocked down by 4 lightning blasts. That was the final straw. I got up despite the pain and walked over to Loki. I shoot a lightning bolt at him and it knocked both of us unconscious. I woke up before Loki and smiled. The two boys were smiling and Slither was behind them. “Looks like I got here just in time.” He said. I laughed and then got up. Loki had woken up by now and was staring at me again. I decided it was time to answer one question. “One question and I’m going.” I said.

“Is it one question each?” Alex asked.

“No, and now I’m going” I replied. Slither took us all back to Peaceaver and said that now we weren’t meant to be at school, we could stay in Peaceaver. We still learned all the boring things but instead of normal history, we learned the history of magic. It was fun learning stuff in Peaceaver. I felt bad that I hadn’t been in touch with my parents. I wanted to ask Slither and Flame if I could go back and explain things to them. I asked them at the end of the day before we went to training. “Can I go back to see my parents? I really need to explain what is going on.” I said.

“We thought you would have asked long before this. Yes you can go and take the boys with you.” Slither said. I went and told the boys and we went straight away. We ended up in a forest near my house and I shifted and ran all the way there. The boys ran after me and I had forgotten that they had super speed. We came to the door and I wondered if I should knock. I didn’t and walked on in. Blades was in the kitchen with my parents and they looked happy. I turned around but George said that I had to face it. I walked in to the kitchen and they all looked at me. “Electra, is that you?” Blades asked. My mum was sobbing and shaking her head. I nodded slowly and hugged my family. I explained everything that had happened and showed them me turning into a fox. My mum was really happy to see me and I was glad to see them. My dad told the boys their mission. “If you let my girl get hurt at all, I will hurt you.” He said. I laughed and so did Blades. We were having fun playing games and watching game shows. Then I had a pain and it was Loki again. I turned off the TV and concentrated, I had to talk to him. “What do you want?” I asked out loud.

“Are you actually listening to me?”

“Yes! Now get on with it.”

“Can you come back, even if it’s just to the house?” He asked.

“I’m at the house. I’m fine and the only thing that is wrong is you trying to talk to me. Can you stop it? I’ll give you a regular update but you can’t contact me.” I said and stopped talking. So did he and it looked like I had even more training to do. We had fun until about 9 and Slither came to take us back. We agreed that every Friday I would come back and talk to Loki at the same time. Life was going even better than before and my power was rising. One thing concerned me; Blades needed the training too, and his power was rising as well. I told them my concerns about Blades when I got back to Peaceaver. They all agreed and next week we would talk to them about it. It was Saturday and we all decided to go to town. Not town in the human realm but in Peaceaver. Normally I would stay in the HQ but I was getting bored. I went to Flame and she gave £100 to me. I tried to take the tiara off but it was stuck. I tried to use magic and took it off, for a few seconds at least. Then it went straight back on my head. “Why can’t I get it off?” I asked.

“It must mean that the world is ready to know who you are. You’ve made peace with your family and you have powerful magic already. The worlds are ready to know who you are.” She replied.

“But I’m not ready.”

“We think you are.” George said. I knew the day would come, but I didn’t expect it so soon. I sighed and we went to town. I was hoping no one would notice my head but everyone kept looking and staring. We went to one shop that had the latest fashion in. I picked out a blue top that was flowing at the bottom in layers. It fitted perfectly and I picked up a black and white one up too. I went to another shop and picked up a blue pair of jeans that fitted and I picked up a pair of black skinny jeans as well. By the time the boys had been in the game shop it was about 12:35 and we went to have lunch. We went to a MacDonald’s and I had a burger and chips. The boys had the same too. We were eating when this person came over to us. He was wearing a red jumper and black jeans. He looked at the tiara and smiled. “By any chance are you Electra?” He asked.

“Yes, what’s it to you?” I replied.

“No reason.” He said and walked off. George looked at me nervously and so did Jonathan. They had good reasons to because a whole group of armed men came towards us. They ignored the boys and headed straight to me. A force field came up and I got ready to fight. I nodded my head and shot a lightning bolt. It was enough to make people run and scream. Others were surrounding us and protecting the people. I got scared and I didn’t know what to do. Then the worst sound came. A sonic disrupter was being fired at full blast and I couldn’t stand it. I fell and someone stopped my fall. I knew it was someone that I couldn’t trust.
