THE FORTRESS Chapter 16
SARAH BURST INTO laughter after Michael performed a folk dance. She had not felt comfortable with people as much as she felt comfortable with her new friends in a very long time. They all spoke about how they lived before they discovered their abilities and it gave her more insight on what her writings entailing extraordinaries should be. Henry was the only person that seemed not to be interested in whatever fun they were having. He was either reading a book or locked up in his room. Sarah considered him egocentric but she adored the way he valued Zoe. He and Zoe often went for short walks and she imagined Zoe seeing his smiling face outside of the ship that they never got to see. Zoe was also fun but whenever she sits in front of the monitor, she's totally disconnected from the world. She is pretty much the tech-lady of the crew, keeping them in touch with recent developments in the city, hacking into security systems and gaining access to individual and company computers. Zoe
THE FORTRESS Chapter 17
DESPITE EVERYTHING JARED'S sixth sense had revealed to him as he surfed Ruby's feelings, memories and thoughts, there was still a knot in his stomach regarding her. He was coming to the conclusion that the lady he saw employing magic to sneak out of the Fortress wasn't her when a voice called his name. It was no other person than Alex. Alex could tell that Jared was not meditating even though his posture said otherwise. He had given the boy a day off the day before, could he probably be up to another trick to get another day off? Nevertheless, he let his voice ring through whatever Jared was actually doing. "Jared". He called softly but there was no response. The boy's eyes were still tightly shut as if he was meditating but his lack of response after a call further confirmed Alex's suspicion of him not meditating. "Jared!", He called again, raising his voice a little bit higher, intently and not rashly. The boy's eyes opened slowly, unsure if he heard his name. "Yes, Master

"Ruby wasn't the one I saw the other night". Jared snapped, trying to explain to Jamie the misunderstood situation with his lover but Jamie didn't seem to be accepting his sudden change of claim. "Oh, Mr lover boy, one night of snugly cuddle with her, and she has been able to brainwash you", Jamie scoffed. He felt disappointed that Jared would easily let his guard down but love is said to be blind, he should have expected it. "I was in her thoughts, feelings and memory, she has no bad intention whatsoever. Her feelings are true". Jared was determined to convince his adamant friend that he had wrongly accused his lover. "So, you can read minds now? So much for a telepath that can't tell when he's being deceived", Jamie scoffed. "There's no way she could have feigned her feelings, she doesn't even know I can read minds". Jared replied defiantly. "Great! It's best the witch never finds out". Jamie tried to keep his tone even. "Stop calling her that, she's not a witch". Jare
THE FORTRESS Chapter 19
"AND DON'T TELL me to shut up, when you know you talk too much....", Jared and Jamie were having the time of their lives as they sang along to the Post Malone song; Goodbye that rang in their ears from the earphones they had on. Their loudly toned voices filled the atmosphere, drawing the attention of students on the same floor as they were but in different rooms. They were oblivious of the noise that was protruding from them as a result of the earphones buried into their ears. The only thing they could hear at the moment was the soothing music emanating from the earphones they had on, throbbing their different ear drums and they screamed along. "Jamie, I think someone is knocking", Jared said, hastily taking off his earphones. He thought he heard a knock on the door and wanted to confirm by taking his earphones off. Nevertheless, he told Jamie but Jamie wasn't paying attention. Having taken off the earphones, he heard the banging on the door more clearly this time. "Jamie, someon

HENRY HIT THE freestanding white board with a cane to draw everyone's attention and it had an immediate effect. The noise that protruded from the objects captured the attention of everyone in the room. He grabbed one side of the board, pushed it away from the wall before swiveling it around to reveal the backside. It was a corkboard plastered with diagrams and notes. A map covered nearly the entire board with some locations circled with red ink and red dots littered over the map while the other parts of the board were occupied with photographic prints. One was a man and the other was a building. "What does it all mean?", Sarah finally blurted after minutes of trying to figure out what the map and pictures insinuated. "This is our first mission", Henry replied as he pointed the cane at the picture of the building. He hesitated as he peered into the faces of everyone staring at the map or probably him. "First mission?", Ian asked, his voice deeply pitched and a scowl on his face
THE FORTRESS Chapter 21
ALFRED MADE SURE every guardian was brought to book for camping in the forest without taking proper permission, gambling with their lives in the name of fun. All though, he was quite dazzled by Jared who was able to bring a spirit animal under his control but nevertheless, he made sure he was sent to the conventry. At first, Alex refused to punish them because there was no footage regarding Alfred's claims but when they owned up to their crimes, he was left with no choice than to quarantine them all. He felt Alfred might just be taking things too far but at the same time not too far because it's actually the law of the institution. Alex had an odd feeling, probably a feeling of impending doom but he couldn't come to a conclusion. Just as he sat on the chair, facing the security monitor, something caught his eye. He leaned closer to the screen to get a better view, squinting his eyes and immediately, he pushed the red button on the monitor table that sent alarms blaring. "Are y
THE FORTRESS Chapter 22
JARED WATCHED As the two opposing teams collided with each other like two rams engaging in the fight of locking horns. The fight wasn't going as planned but it was fair enough. The lady with the sword had jumped so high over Ruby before she could reach her. He had not seen anything relating to the woman being able to oppose the law of gravity for few seconds when he surfed through her mind. It was probably because of the boots she was wearing and she would have been a perfect match for Santiago since he could jump high also. Jamie paused as his opposition was no where to be found before he closed up on him. Something struck him from behind and he fell on his face. The only person that seemed to be in serious competition with his opposition was Santiago. Ian underestimated Santiago not knowing his ability was super-strength and he was a martial art expert. "Hit me", Ian said to Santiago as they closed up on each other. Santiago held a fist and swung at Ian's face. It hit him
THE FORTRESS Chapter 23
AFTER HENRY'S ENCOUNTER with Jared, he headed straight to where he could find Lily Bradley, the owner of the fortress and also his mother whom he had helped kill his father. He would never forget the expression of shock and betrayal on his father's face before he died. Zoe had told him not to kill anyone anymore but the more he approached his mother's den—when she was with his father, she was referred to as the lioness because of her vast skill in martial arts even though she had no extraordinary abilities. The more he felt his blood raging with anger at his mother for tricking him into killing his father. He opened the door and she was sitting right behind a large table. He could remember the table clearly. He was taught school work on that table. Her legs were crossed like she was waiting for him and a smile was on her face. The truth was that, Lily had been waiting for him and her wait had not just started today, but ever since he left. She knew he'd come back one day raging
