Chapter 1- "An Extraordinary Day"


Today was the most life changing day of my life. It started out like any other day, I woke up, ate breakfast, took the bus to school, went through all my periods like any other day. That was until it was time to go home. I didn't have Soccer practice that day, mainly because it was Friday and we have been working so hard, but when I got off the bus and went to cross the intersection something happened. Something that definitely changed my life forever.

I went to cross the street when a huge truck, carrying large pipes totally swerved out of control and flipped over! The huge steel pipes totally snapped off the truck and started tumbling for me. I looked as they were coming for me. Stupid me, didn't notice them till they were just a few feet away because i was listening to my music, I looked up and there they were coming for me.

I was frozen in fear. Couldn't move for the life of me. I hardly had the chance. I shielded my face when my arms so I didn't have to see my end but something happened. Something I will never forget. The huge piped went right through me! That's right, right THROUGH me! That's when i found out i was literally "Special".

After that I totally freaked out an ran home the rest of the way. Then of course my door was locked so I started pounding on the door and went right through that too! Of course nobody was home that afternoon. Then right after that, still freaking out, I hear knocking at the door.

I was so messed up in the head after finding out I was a freak that company wasn't a very good thing. I opened the door and there was this tall, pale, Irishmen at the door named Conall St Albans. He was in dire need of gas. His jeep had broken down right near my house, I helped him out and started talking to him. Of course I had the jitters from what happened.

but of course then it happens again! I went to get something out of my backpack and my hand went right through it! Conall was right behind me and saw me using my powers. i thought I was pretty screwed after that. But ironically enough, he shared with me that he had powers too. I was literally shocked. What were the odds, right?

he showed me his powers and shifted into a boar and jaguar. Both seemed pretty fierce, and had a mind of their own. It was almost like he didn't have control over them or something. it was pretty cool and such a relief to know I wasn't the only one. But then he told me all a "Special" needed to know.

He told me about important stuff like not using your powers in public and an organization called The "Company" that hunts special's down and locks them up so they can't use your powers ever again. i was quite freaked out and nervous by this. In fact as we talked and i was looking into a mirrorl I could have sworn I saw a blond women across the street out of the window at the house with the sprinklers going off.

I turned around but didn't see anything. After that, Conall suggested i get out for a little bit. He offered to drive me to the ferry in Staten Island so I could get out and hang around the Museum or anywhere for a while so I didn't have to worry about the company. So, that's exactly what I did, in fact he gave me the number to somebody named "Pulse" who he told me to contact in case of any emergency. I said my good bye to Conall and hopped on the ferry and ended up visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Until Next Time,

Chapter 3- "Chance Meeting and departures"

I went to the the ferry today, just to look at the fish in the tanks and stuff. i was rather bored with not having to babysit for once. All of the sudden I bumped into this young women, she seemed rather nice despite the fact i knocked her to the ground. Her name was Adele, we started talking and stuff and she was with her "boyfriend" too. His name was Ryan.

Before i knew it they were talking about food and where to get something to eat. They decided on the seafood restaurant somewhere nearby that ironically enough my Mom used to work at when I was a kid. Half of the staff was still there and remembered me as soon as i walked it.

I got the three of us a nice quiet spot and a free meal too! The waitress was friends with my Mom back in the day and the manger was the same too. Lucky us. We had a nice meal and talked about a lot of different things I can barely remember now, but it was a good day none the less.

Adele was pretty nice the whole time but Ryan seemed to have this annoyance with me but I think it was just because he was exhausted according to Adele. They both looked it after all. So after we ate i had to get home and so didn't they so they took a taxi back and i walked home from there.

I don't know what it was about those two that made me so curious. They seemed like pretty good people but there was something about them that made me think there was something there, something hidden. I probably won't ever see them again so i may no ever know.

Until Next Time,
~Mike!

Chapter 5- "Learning to Breath"

It was a typical day today, not like any day can be very typical when your a special, this is. I decided to run around Central Park, it was a ice day and I needed to train for my soccer game. I was in the championships and with everything going on I hardly trained at all, I went to the practices sure but only a real athlete practices on there own, so that's what I did when I found some free time.

As I ran around Central Park I must admit that my mind was acing with questions. Specials, The Company, controlling my powers. You know, the normal every day stuff the specials like me must think about daily. After running for so long I pretty much exhausted myself, like only I could do. I found a bench with a young women on it and asked if I could join her and she graciously gave me the seat, It was quite nice of her really.

I was pretty hot, thank god for my water bottle. I started talking to the young women, she was pretty cool and pretty too I'll give her that. Her name was Emma and I soon learned that she had powers just as I did. Pretty ironic, really. She has the power o produce fire upon touch. She showed me right then and there. It was rather cool, of course I thought that since I had powers too.

I decided since she showed me her powers it was only fair that I showed her mind. I walked over to the tree near by, making sure nobody was around of course and phased right through it. She seemed rather impressed by it. After talking a familiar face appeared behind us. It was none other than Conall St. Albans, the skin walker who I met right after manifesting my powers. Apparently they lived down the hall from each other. Ironic, no?

Before I knew it this other guy named Virgil came over, I had never met a bigger flirt than that guy. I was making so many moves on Emma I thought they were playing chess or something. Conall was unimpressed, I couldn't stop thinking about how weird it was that Mike knew two specials that were neighbors. Unfortunately I couldn't stay and chat any longer, I had running to do so I said my good bye's and ran off. It's a small world after all and all we need to to do is learn to breath.

Until Next Time,

Chapter 7- "Waking Up In The Company"

Last thing I remembered I was being chased down an alleyway and felt a shock throughout my entire body, that was the last thing I remembered and then I found myself waking up in the average and white room. I was on a bed and it kinda looked like a cell that tried to disguise itself as a bedroom or something. The first thing I thought was that I mist have been in the company, where else could I have been? When I tried to use my powers and it didn't work is when I knew I must have been there for sure.

Then, I saw a red haired women come into the room, of course I backed away as far as possible. She had a smile on her face that was innocent enough and she explained to me about what she did and what the company did too. It was quite different from the things Conal had to him when he first manifested. Her name was Agatha and she told me what they had to do and over time I finally gave in just so I could get out of there, when I saw her partner with a syringe I asked to be knocked out for it which they did.

After I woke up and was fully awake it was time to go, Agatha was taking me herself, she was really nice for a company member and Mike really liked her almost like an older sister. They chatted as they drove to Manhattan and I was scared to think what my Mom was going to say when she realized I was gone. As we got close these black vans came up all around us and pretty much forced ff us the road. We go out of the car and these men in black suites did to, that's what I call hem "The Men in Black".

They seemed to want Agatha, someone they knew about her powers. When she refused they shot at us. I phased through the bullets but Agatha still pushed me out of the way and got herself shot in the leg. They came over to us so I did the smartest thing and phased us through the ground. We had to hold our breaths as long as we could till we phased underground long enough to get away, luckily I was a fast underground phaser and we came up in Manhattan near the hospital.

I helped Agatha to the hospital to get her help and when they asked who I was Agatha said her boyfriend, I thought it was kinda funny. Then her partner came in and I finally got my phone back and called my Mom, she didn't really notice because she wasn't home but I needed to get home, I said my goof byes and as I left Agatha's partner said I would make a great copany agent. It pretty much made my day as I ran back to my Mom's house before she worried anymore. Hope I meet Agatha again someday.

Until Next Time,
