“Okay, so all I have
to do is join your Academy, and I am safe from the government? What about my
family? Are they going to be safe too? Will I be able to more than what
happened today? How long does the training program last?” Jack questioned.
Mr. Saunders touched ground and they started walking while he formulated
an answer. “Yes, and yes. You and your
family would be completely protected from prying eyes. You will eventually be
able to do things that would blow your mind including throwing fireblasts,
lighting your whole body on fire, and much more. The training will last until
your college years. The first year will be purely training ,and then the next
we will slowly add school and in college you will actually be learning for a
career.” Mr. Saunders explains.
By this
time Mr. Saunders and Jack have made it to the end of Jack’s street and have
turned back toward his house. “You will be surrounded by others just like you.
We all understand the fear that comes with Awakening. There will be trials
ahead of you but nothing that you can’t handle with the help we will give you.”
Mr. Saunders says with a clear tone of empathy.
“Okay, I
will talk to my parents and see if I can go. I don’t want to risk them getting
hurt, and I certainly don’t want to go to a government lab for dissection.
Besides, maybe being a super-being is not too bad. Controlling fire at will
sounds pretty cool to be a hundred percent honest. Let’s head back to my house
and we can try to talk my family into letting me go to boarding school this
year.” Jack says.
Arriving back at Jack’s house they open the
door to the smell of cookies in the oven. “MMMM, chocolate chip with pecans. My
favorite! Mom, we are back! Are you making cookies?”
“Welcome back sweetheart, I am making your fav, chocolate
chip with pecans. And for dinner we will be having Burgers on the grill. When your
father gets home he will put them on. Jack would you please start setting the
table for the meal?”
