another world

One of the men pulled out a gun and started firing. Instinctively, I pulled away from the group.
Bad Idea!
I was now singled out. I ran back toward the group as fast as humanly possible. The moment I was in, the bullets stopped flying and people were throwing punches. All I was able to do was doge them by going left and right fast.
They surrounded me quickly and were closing in. Now I was getting anxious. I turned and turned finding no way to escape.
“Shoot her before she panics!”
I saw past them at my fellow students. No one was hurt but everyone was scared and/or angry with them. Looking past the students, I saw the teachers with horrified looks on their faces. The last thing I saw was that all eyes were on me and the other unconscious student. BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!
A sudden pain brought me to my hands and knees. The pain was excruciating. I felt a thick and warm liquid run onto my knees and soak my jacket. I lifted a hand to the source and brought it to my eyesight.
Oh,...its blood….my blood….and there sure is a lot of it.
I felt myself fall to the side.
What’s….happening….to me….
And then I blacked out.

People were all around me shooting at others. I looked to where they were shooting.
Unarmed Civilians.
Why? Why are they killing the innocent? This is wrong!
I turned back to what was now soldiers shooting.
“Stop!” I yelled.
Not a single response came from a single soldier.
“Stop! There are civilians out there! You’re going to kill them!”
No head turned in my direction. Desperately, I turned back to the civilians to find what were now creatures unknown to this world and people wielding swords and spears! Some didn’t even have weapons! Those whom were unarmed either had a clear blue flame around them deflecting bullets and attacking at the same time or some other unworldly power only defending, attacking, or both! This scared me. Suddenly, I found myself in between the two sides. As a creature approached me, I backed up, fear spreading to my limbs. Then I stopped, immobilized and found someone else standing was I was. I looked closer without moving an inch.
Another me!
I stumbled back in surprise to this realization. Returning my attention to the creature, I saw a glimpse of a horrible scene! Just as the creature was passing by the other me. My duplicate pointed at it and its insides exploded outward! It fell to its side and the other me looked over her shoulder at me. She extended her hand outward, indicating for me to come. I looked deep into her eyes and found them full of guilt and sadness. I turned toward her, captivated by her emotions, and slowly walked toward her. When I finally reached her, I lifted my hand and ever so gently set my hand on hers. Roughly, she pulled me in close to her and whispered fiercely.
“This is your future! Change it or many will die and DON”T LET THE DARKNESS CONTROL YOU! If this future stays the same, you will live the rest of your life with regret, despair, and more sadness than you can handle!”
She than turned me toward her and hugged me tightly.
“Embrace your power to its fullest and remember….remember who you truly
are Ohlanah!”

I opened my eyes wide to find myself tied up and in some kind of closed off space.

Strangers

My choice of weapon is a sword. The one I wield is named Mikuni. I have wielded her since the early middle ages. Mikuni is well known among the seria and humans. Her nickname was given to her by those who witnessed her power. (Her nickname is Dimensional Destroyer.)
Mikuni has three main forms. She can be a single broad and heavy sword, Twin swords with the weight distributed between the two, and she can be four daggers. Mikuni splits and combines upon the master's will. The master in this case would be me. She will not cooperate with any one else unless I will her to. That is my weapon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excuses...excuses...excuses...maybe I can say I was sick? I would be gone for about a week. That would work...Maybe.
I sat down on a near by bench watching the remaining students try for another lap around the track before the time was gone.
A person passed me with two minutes and fifty-four seconds remaining. That person ended that lap ten meters away and stopped running. He was finished with his laps. Two more people passed me with one minute twenty seconds remaining. They stopped after completing that lap. Five people passed me looking desperate to beet the clock. Ten seconds remaining. They barely made it in time...
WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!! My teacher whistled to signal the end of the twenty minutes.
I got up and started walking toward the rest of the class. I got there and was sent to go change. I started heading to the outside door of the locker rooms.
BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!
A random man appeared out of the bushes pointing a gun at us (the class)!
Well hell, I thought. This is a pain in the ass!
I looked around at the other peers and found a similar expression on there faces as mine. The man yelled something and that brought out many men in military uniforms!!
"Everybody on the ground now!" one man yelled.
I very slowly obeyed him but kept eye contact with him the whole time.
He stared back at me with a look of curiosity and wonder. His face suddenly went rigid.
I flinched in surprise.
The man seemed to recover from what had hit him so suddenly. He waved forward and about five other men stepped forward holding devices that were similar to night vision goggles. They put them on and walked up to us causally.
"Come on men! We don't have all day!"
They all walked up to each student and looked at them. Once they were done, they went to the next students. When they got to me and looked at me, on of the men hesitated.
"She's one."
"Yes, I agree."
"What should we do?"
"Eli! Come here and watch her! Make sure she doesn't do any thing funny!"
"O.K.!"
The man I assumed was "Eli" walked up to me and just stood there. As the "Lookers" (what I am currently calling the men in glasses) went around that only happened one other time.
"O.K... Immobilize the two Eli, Jacob."
"Yes sir!"
They pulled out a syringe and I instinctively backed away.
"Hey, don't do that! You can't take them away! I won't allow you to take them away!" the teacher was yelling at them to stop. Enough is enough.
As Eli got closer, I backed away.
"Don’t be like that" he said sweetly. "This will only hurt for a second"
"I’d rather not get hurt thank you very much" I spat.
I scrambled to my feet and inched away from him.
"Looks like I’ll need your help with this one Jacob" Eli said casually.
I looked back to find the other student, Samuel vina, limp. Probably unconscious I though.
"Get away from them!” Mrs. Yamar yelled. (Eighth grade PE teacher.)” Get away!"
"Shut your trap!" a man yelled.
"No, let them go. Let the go! Let them go!"
"Mick, quiet her will you?"
A man nodded and I turned my head back. Eli was now one foot away from me!
I started getting twitchy. I backed up some more and found myself bumping into the man I presumed to be Jacob.
SHIT!!!
That’s when panic set in.
The man held me tight as Eli approached.
"Now. Be a good little girl and let me do my job." He smiled as he said this. Though, it was more of a grin.
No. I thought. "No" I said this aloud. "No!"
_______________________________________________________________________________
You don't ever want to see me panicked. It gets bad!
_______________________________________________________________________________
I lashed out with a free hand to knock the syringe away from me.
My face must have looked pissed off because when his anger flashed in his eyes, it was gone when he saw mine.
I brought my leg up a kicked Jacob in the groin area to get free. Immediately he collapsed in searing pain.
I looked up at Eli who was more scared then ever now. He brought his hands up in defense and started walking backwards.
"Uh, Sir, I could use a little help right about now."
One of the men looked at him and nodded.
"Alright. Squads 1 and 2. Capture the girl"
"Yes sir!"
They lunged at me just as I lunged at them.

Captue the flag

First period was P.E. Sense today just happened to be Monday; all the classes had to run around the school. Three laps is a C, four laps are a B, and five laps are an A. Me being one of the seria race, I naturally have endurance, speed, and a good heart to go along with it. The average student runs/walks three to four laps. I ran five laps in fifteen minutes. The amount of time I had remaining of free time: five minutes.
During those five minutes, I thought of the up-coming events. The human race doesn’t know of the seria race so, I have to make up an excuse to miss school for five days. During those five days, I will be participating in a 100% human free event because it would be dangerous for them.
Here let me tell you something about the Seria. Our instincts tell us to destroy anything in our way and to survive another day. Also, our instinct (depending on what one is) tells us to keep hidden. This instinct keeps us all out of the public eye. Our history is long so I will not say all of it today. In 2580 B.C. the queen ruling gave everybody a single command that stuck to everybody since. This command was the keep hidden part of our instinct. We hide our selves because it was the last wish of the ancient one, the first born seria. Even though I am this queen in a different body, I have not interfered with the governing of the seria. I have done this with two purposes in mind. To have them mature and evolve themselves and so I could keep watch of both races without disturbance.
The event that I am going to is a competition. I have to participate this year because it is required. Once the age of 15, a seria must be a part of the event till they are at least 18. The event is kind of like a big game of capture the flag. Each contestant has a color and the first contestant to have three other colors from the fellow contestants wins. Though, there is a twist. This is where it gets to dangerous for human beings. Each contestant must “kill” three other contestants. By kill, I mean to deal enough damage to make your opponent(s) loose footing. The only color that can’t be used is black. Non-contestant players ware black. All they do is try to slow you down by attacking you. The better you are, the more you are, get attacked. The terrain is a giant forest with no paths on the ground or trees. Each constant may bring and use anything in the competition. For example, I could bring swords and guns and the officials wouldn’t care less. Anything to win.
Personally, I don’t want to do the compotation, but it is customary for 15 -18 year old seria to participate in the event. So, I will particapate.....Unfortunately.

the begining of the big discovery!

“Wake up Ohlanah….Ohlanah….hay, wake up.”
I opened my eyes sleepily.
“What time is it?”
“6:30 in the morning of course. Why?”
“Just cuz. Today is Monday I take it” I sighed.
“It sure is!”
“Gaah! Why Monday!”
“I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. Grabbing my towels, I headed for the shower.
“Thanks for waking me up Minu!” I said waving it off.
“Your welcome!” he replied smiling brightly.
I walked to the bathroom as slow as I could. Today was Monday. Today I am always lazy. The water was hot against my skin but it felt awfully good at the same time. That seemed strange to me. After I was done, I got dressed and ready for school, Minu was already done and waiting for me when I walked down stairs.
“You must be tired today,” he said.
“It is Monday. What do you except.” I grabbed my backpack and put it on. “Let get going. Don’t want to be late.”
“Okay, I’m right behind you.”
Minu got up and followed me out the door.

Minu is the same age as me. Though, were I am 5’2, he is 5’9. (Shorty!) He has short and fluffy brown hair. It usually smells like cocoanut. (I will not say how I know! I do not dare say! Though ask if you want to. It is perfectly natural to have curiosity.) Minu’s favorite color is blue and he always wares jeans when he can. His favorite jacket is a hoodie that goes down to his knees and has a very large hood. The shoes he wares most of the time are blue (of coarse) with white skulls on them. Minu love to play cards and video games. Though he does go out with his friends a lot too. He is an easy going kid who can be a pain in the ass when you your self is pissed off and all he does is smile back. Minu is always serious when it comes to school work and doing what he thinks is right. That is the kind of person he is.
Oh! We share an apartment too. (No, we are not together! (In case you ask.)

We got to school ten minutes before the bell rang so we split up. He probably went to hang out with his friends were me on the other had don’t have any. Whenever I get to school early, like today, I always take the long and quiet route to my locker. Though, I still get there a few minutes before the bell rings. I opened my locker and pulled out my geometry book, reading book, P.E. clothing, and all my note books I need for the day. I shoved them into my book bag along with my binder just as the bell rang. I shut my locker and headed toward my first period class.

the story starts!

2576 B.C.
"the time has come, young ones. you are to go and not look back. if you ever feel the need for guidence, pray to me and i might answer but don't come back. before you leave, i will give you one last gift. the gift of name and race.
the group looked up surprised by this last gift. then the faces turned sad as if the reality of the situation had just hit them.
"You will finaly be your own race. be greatful and free! You are diffrent from mt race so you will not be called Seria. you shall be called Human(s). now go! gather what is rightfully yours and leave. remember, don't look back, look forward!"
as if on cue, the group of 150 humans stood up and left without looking back.
That Night
"why did you make them go!"
"it was the right thing to do! and don't challenge me! you know better!"
He automaticly touched the long scare on his fece.
"if yoou were going to set them loose, why not kill them all! they will die anyway! they are worthless and weak beings! Selfish and powerless! they don't deserve to-"
SLAP! his face turneda bright red in an instant.
"don't you dare talk to me about what they deserve and what not! You here me?! If you or anybody else plan on hurting them, they will be punished! weather it be human or seria! I will do my best to protect the right and punish the wrong! Now leave before you loose your soul!
He flinched instinctively and went to the door quickly then turned around.
"Lets play a game of tag shall we?" he said with a grin.
he left after that and never came back.
