Since the moment I saw that man enter the room I knew he was a jerk, that man was "General Niels", he looked at all of the other kids inside the room who had raised their hands, which were every single one of then of them, except for Nicolas and me obviously, which made me happy but at the same time sad, cause he was the only one, and that meant that even my brother rose his hand.
-Oh well, it looks you already have a few opponents Nathaniel.-"General Niels" said with this, almost perpetual, arrogant look on his face which only made me wanna kill him.-You.-He then pointed a girl, that besides her great height, she seemed imponent and strong, with her black and curly hair tied in a neat ponytail that made contrast with her slight pink skin she smiled then "General Niels" proceeded.- STATE YOUR NAME, AGE, PREVIOUS OCUPATION, COUNTRY, PLANET, POWERS, INNER ELEMENT AND THE MAIN REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE!.-He ended with a military tone which made us realize it was time to act like the soldiers he wanted us to be.
-SUSAN BAKER; 18 YEARS OLD; HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR;I USED TO LIVE IN BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM; 3 MONTHS AGO I DISCOVERED THE NAME OF THE PLANET I COME FROM IS NIEVEL; I HAVE THE POWER TO MELT, I CAN MELT EVERYTHING I TOUCH IF I WANT TO AND UNDO THE PROCESS UP TO THE POINT I WANT TO, I CAN NOT UNDO THE DEATH OF A BEING WHICH DIED IN THE PROCESS; MY INNER ELEMENT IS A DAGGER GIVEN BY MY DECEASED AUNT, WHEN I THROW IT MELTS WHATEVER IT TOUCHES AND THE MAIN REASON WHY IM HERE WAS BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY MELTED MY SCHOOL'S FLOOR AND 13 PEOPLE DIED.
She didn't even seemed a bit appalled by what she had just said, rather she looked proud, which only made me feel goosebumps run through my spine.
Then both of us walked towards each other, then a huge force field rose and only left us inside; I knew this was to protect the others from our fight.
-Whoever wins will fight the next opponent and so on, whoever is left standing will gain the title of number 1, and so on. Rules are: NO KILLING. You may begin.-"General Niels said finally letting us proceed with the fight.
A few thoughts went through my mind but seriously... NO KILLING?! NO SHIT SHERLOCK!? The fact that this man had just reminded us that, made me really worried...
And without letting me finish muy thoughts, Susan attacked:
Her first move, she made the space we were in melt, I could feel my legs drown in a mixture of hot and dense substance which used to be floor a few moments ago.
She smiled and said:
-WoW, I am really not sure why you are here.-She said with a very marked English accent, if it wasn't for the fight I could have told her that it was a really nice and smooth one.-You seemed scary before but i guess it was all just a facade.
It wasn't a facade it's just, for 17 years I got used to not using regularly my powers and I wasn't sure of what to do, so much possibilities and variants and if wasn't careful, I remembered what Celina had told me, what EVERYONE HAD ALWAYS TOLD ME: I COULD ERASE ALL THE UNIVERSE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO UNDO IT...
But what else I could do...Something in her movements made me feel that she somehow REALLY WANTED to kill me. After melting the floor I could feel almost my entire body from neck to toes; finally she did what I thought was the undo part, cause then I could sense how my body could not move at all, the floor was then as hard as a rock, immovable...
I knew any moment I could step out, go back in time... there were infininite possibilities for me... but again, that was the problem, there was always always so much I could do that it was overwhelming and I didn't want to ruin everything.
But in the midst of my despair, another memory came running through my mind:
When I was little I used to get nervous when didn't know exactly what to do: a drawing, what to eat, what to wear, what next move to make and sent everything flying, books, papers, the chairs inside my house, all my toys, even my parents, and the entire earth seemed to shake because of me; my mom always grabbed my hand and when there was a brief instant that I was able to calm down, she used to tell me the following: "Nathaniel, dear"-She said while gently caressed me and then I felt loved and everything that was in chaos stopped- " now, close your eyes and breath and think about what you REALLY want, and do it". After she said that, I always knew what to do...
So, that was it! So easy but at the same time so difficult. In order to defeat my actual opponent I just needed to do what I REALLY wanted... SO I DID IT.
It was one hour before the terrible accident that will not only change my future inside the organisation. It will made me realize how terrible the truth was…
What would you do if everything you wanted for you got it in an instant?
Being normal is the only thing I wanted that I’ll never be able to get.
I’ve always known that I wasn’t normal and being like me comes with a price: Never be able to use my powers lightly. But that night, everything changed.
At first I didn’t realize that it was the beginning of a series of events I could’ve never imagined.
And it was all going to be a disaster…
My name is Nathaniel North, I’m a “Wanter” and this is my story…
