-Now.-Celina proceeded withy the saddest of the voices.-It will be time to count and state the people who have died:
-Alisa Monroe.-This time wasn't Celina who spoke but Peter Niels instead. And he did, strangely, with a solemn respectful tone. Alisa was the name of the one of the youngest recruits amongst us, and she was the last person I'd fought and I killed her...Everyone looked at me AGAIN and also as if they were trying to stop themselves from killing me themselves.
-Deceased.-Haaziq answered. He seemed as if this was a situation they have already prevented and him being a person in charge, maybe cause he was the oldest of the recruits, he was ready to keep answering for all the dead.
-Kasandra Wells.
-Deceased.
-Adagny Weber.
-Deceased.
-Taeyang Choi.
-Deceased.
-Ana Lucía Rodriguez.
-Deceased.
- Hakim Khediri.
-Deceased.
- Bella Stone.
-Deceased.
- Joaquín Torres.
-Deceased.
-Ivana Brzovic.
-Deceased.
-Àgathe Martin.
-Deceased.
Just like that, a few moments of cold silence and names of people I didn't get to know and somehow I felt all this was my fault. But I felt Celina's voice, telling me "No, it wasn't", she then gave me a sad but genuine smile.
-Okay, there are still unidentified bodies, that we probably won't be able to name, cause they are destroyed, but for the ones that are just like you.-Celina said trying to put the sadness aside.-There's only 6 of you left.
-Only six of us left?-We all exclaimed, this was just the gravest thing someone could ever tell us in those moments: Only six of us left to learn how to fight and defeat the greatest threat to the universe and the last planet still standing: Earth.
But Celina kept talking as if we had never said that:
-The other facility members: doctors, researchers and soldiers, managed to evacuate, most of them heard heard the alarm and went to our facility underground where they will be safe, and us too if we manage to get there.-She then directed a thought to me and my brother-("DO NOT WORRY NATHANIEL AND JONATHAN, YOUR PARENTS ARE SAFE").-, Jonathan and I looked at each other with strange relief. Our parents were alive.
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…
