"Chirp" went the bird at the window before flying off. Bill opens his eyes he is on the floor, face-up, looking at the bulb hanging down the ceiling, the entire room becomes clearer and clearer at he looked then a sharp pain hit his head. "Uhh!," Bill said holding his head as he sat up. Bill stood up and walked downstairs to the dining where he sat and looked around, observing everything. "See nothings changed, so much for a witch. Ahh!" Bill held his head with his two hands struggling to stop the now stronger surge of pain he felt in his head, the pain got worse, and he passed out falling on the floor.
Bill opens his eyes to see Olivia pouring water on his face. "Hey! Hey! Stop I'm up."
Olivia sigh in relief. "Thank the stars you're ok. Now get up, we gotta go to school," said Olivia standing to her feet and looking at Bill.
Bill holding a dining chair assist himself up."Wait since when do you go to school?"
"Did you lose your memories when you fell?" asked Olivia asked shocked to hear that question. But not as shocked as Bill at that reply "Never mind, go get ready, I'll go prepare breakfast."
Bill looks at her confused at what has happened. "Okay," he walked to his room. Bill closes the door behind him and rushes to the window and looks out, all he sees are the road and the ocean. "Nothing has changed." he turns back grabs a towel from his drawer which was in front of his bed and walks to the bathroom.
7:56 am
Bill walks down the stairs, Olivia is seated at the dining table eating toast and eggs, he takes a seat in front of her and starts eating now more concerned more at what school opens on a Saturday, he says nothing of his doubts, determined to play along, so he sees where it goes.
Bill rounds up with his food then walks out to join his sister outside.
They both mount their bicycles and start riding off, Olivia leading. They rode to the road at the back of their house and stopped at the call of Bill who wasn't going to watch Olivia ride herself to a watery grave.
"Hey, what's wrong with you. What's all this. You talk about going to school when you've already graduated and now you're going to ride your bike into the ocean"
Olivia was confused at what he is talking about, she as well is worried for him. "I don't know what you're talking about, but your acting strange. Are you sure you saw Dr. Steelstein."
Bill was confused but that name sounded familiar it reminded him of something. "Say that again," he asks now with an eagerness in his voice.
"What?"
"The doctor?"
"Dr. Steelstein."
"I know that name from somewhere. No, a film. Not sure just can't place my finger on it." Immediately Bill falls off his bike, he holds his head and shakes on the ground as though in a seizure, Olivia hurries to his aid but there is little she can do. Bill screams in pain, he held his head and pulled up his knee to his chest trying to ease the surge of pain he felt in the head, Now faced up looking at Olivia and the sky, he sees the full moon looking right back at him, and he blacked out, his eyes shone blue from the what appears to be a lined constellation in his eyes. Olivia was seated with her brothers head on her lap, she stroked his hair as she could think of nothing better but wait in hope that he will wake up.
"Don't worry. Bill, I'll be right here, waiting until Man brings you back," she said with a soft tone in her voice as she moved her finger through his beautiful night-black hair with now moon-blue colored strands of hair, looking straight into his eyes.
Bill's eyes close and open in a blink, he now fully conscious, gets up. "Sis, we gotta go, it's the tryouts. So gotta be early." He said confidently, now more sure of his environment.
"Thank God mom and dad won't kill me," said Olivia in relief.
Olivia gets up and mounts her bike and ride it into the ocean, Bill mounted his bike rode into the ocean, Inside the ocean passed through a small layer of water, which what seemed to be the ocean if seen from above, Into a massive dry land covered with grass and beautiful flowers, bright from the sun that shone through the layer of water, in his front is Olivia who started riding, leading both to a giant gate, so tall and wide that he couldn't see anything other than the gate. On the gate was the symbol of an eagle with its wings outstretched flying in front of a crescent moon. They for a will then a crank from the gates as it slides an opening wide enough for them to enter.
They dropped their bicycles and walk through the opening into a technological utopia with people, mostly children, and teenagers of all sorts, those flying with wings of all kinds, using jet packets, hover shoes, or those suspended in the air with no visible apparatus. Those on the ground using powers that could only exist in movies. Bill followed Olivia who seems to know where she was going.
And they headed down to the main auditorium and took a seat. The auditorium is like a huge massive football pitch with massive holographic screens in front of each set of seats showing a visual of what happens in the center field. The is sparsely filled with people from ages 12 to 19 seated at one half of the auditorium. At the center a man holding a staff with the school's symbol as its head stood, monitoring everyone as they chattered and murmured, he held the staff with both hands lifting it slightly off the ground and hitting it on the ground and immediately lightning passed the sky followed by a clap of thunder which puts everyone to silence and captured their attention. "Good day all. I would like to start by thanking you all for coming to this annual entry audition to Eaglecrest high school, well my name is Mr. Williams Eagle, And again welcome to the Auditions. I welcome each of you to the stage, your names, and a little demonstration of your gifts, and we will decide on your entry. Best of luck to all of you" He said finishing his speech, he hits the staff on the ground and massive bird wings sprout from his back, and with a flap thrusting him into the air to his sit floating there.
A boy walks to the center. "My Name is Jeremy Skyler, I'm a werecat." silence filled the air he took a deep breath, and slowly released. His bones started braking and reforming so loudly they all could hear it, his clothes ripping of his body, he held himself as the pain grew, his chest bones cracked as it postulated forward, his back bent, heel went up as he stood on toes, arms bent back as claws crept out his fingers, leg bent backward and a thin coat of golden-brown hair covered his body and canines increased as did the rest sharpen. "I have every characteristic of each wild cat," he continued. "Speed," He said as ran round the entire auditorium and back. "Jump" he leaped up into the air almost reaching Williams' seat, following him back down was the claps of the students amazed at his gifts."Thank you."
"That was a nice performance, please move to the other side of the auditorium," said Mr. Williams impressed.
Jeremy hurried to the other side changing immediately as he sat, to reveal himself fully naked but covered waist down by a seat.
Then from there row by row going up people walked to the center of the auditorium and showcased their skills and moved to the other side and those who couldn't where sent out.
A boy walked to the center. "Hello, my name is Victor Luke, I can rearrange my molecules to change through the states of matter," he closed his eyes his enter body froze to ice, then he grew whiter and wither it shattered his clothes dropped and a white fog filled everywhere it spiraled into a cyclone hovering over his clothes, then at the tip poured water on his clothes till the cyclone vanished, he changed back in his clothes.
He went to the other side and a girl walked in, with her head down. "My name is Stella miles. I-I-I'll Just, show you," she stammered. She shuts her eyes and held her left hand in the air as though painting, his fingers shone red as she moved her hands in the air, and she opened her eyes smiling. A wave of confusion went over everyone's face.
"I'm sorry miss Miles, please walk out the doors," said Mr. Williams
She confused at that looked to her side and sees nothing. "Sorry sir I wasn't done yet"
"Go on"
She clapped, and like fire following fuel, fire formed a Chinese dragon by her side. She at it. "Now fly," she said, talking to the dragon. And it flew up and around the auditorium.
The site of this filled Bill with overwhelming wonder, as she created a dragon.
The dragon flew straight up and came down not stopping towards Him. Stella seeing this, shuts her eyes trying to control it, but she couldn't, Mr. Williams looked down and saw she couldn't stop it, flew in front of its face and held his staff pointing at it and a continuous surge of lightning flew from the staff and hit the dragon but still didn't stop it, Mr.Williams flew to the side as it flew towards him.
People hurriedly ran from the seats to the field, as Bill tried to run his leg was caught in between the seats, Olivia hurried back to help him. They both looked up and saw it, the dragon looking at them and was almost there, feared pierced their bones as they bent faced down and stretched one arm back towards the dragon, chairs flew behind them forming a shield and a line of water from the sky and dirt from the field streamed into the dragon quenching it.
They stood back up, their hearts pounding, sweat all over their faces, relieved, and happy to not be burnt, then they look up to see on half burn chairs, dirt, and water floating, and as they looked back down it fell. Mr. Williams flew down beside Stella who terrified at what could have happened, and everyone took that moment to catch their breaths. He looked at her both astonished and terrified. "You can go to the other side" and Bill and Olivia. "Thank you for a fine display of power. And for not dying. You can move to the other side"
Bill pulled his leg out and join Olivia to move to the other side.
The tension settled, and they continued, Bill just sat and watched amazed as everyone displays their powers. All that ran through his mind was wow who would have thought that all these powers existed. And they are even more astonishing in person.
***
The day was over, the auditorium was empty and destroyed; The field had multiple dig marks, a giant hole from when a kid named Trace punched it, chairs scattered everywhere, the walls of the auditorium broken with metal poles sticking out, lightning makes from every time Mr. Williams stopped an out of control power, Mini-forest growing out from Lily a girl with plant powers.
Bill was seated at the other side just watching the ocean, looking at the fishes.
Stella walked in looked up, at Bill. "Hey" she yelled gaining his attention.
He looked down to see Stella standing. "Hey"
"Can I join you up there."
"Sure, the view is amazing from down here."
She walked and sat beside him."Sorry, I'm very sorry for almost killing you," she said in a kind voice.
"Don't bother, I'm cool," Bill replied still focused on the ocean.
She felt happy knowing he's not angry. "You love the ocean," she asked.
"No, Not when I was up there. But from down here, It's amazing."
She looks at it and was memorized. "Yeah, It is," she continues admiring it looks back at Bill. "I'm Stella, by the way," she said stretching a hand forward for a handshake.
"Bill" shaking her. "Bill Evans" then feels a sharp pain on his hand. "Aww."
letting go of his hand." I'm very sorry. I hope you weren't hurt" she said checking him.
"Even if I was hurt, it wouldn't be from your dragon, but from the half-melted chairs I held over my head" he added, then she placed her arms on his head checking it. "Aww"
"Sorry," she said taking back her hands of him and looked back up. Then there was an awkward silence. "Well, wow this was the strangest way of meeting someone."
"Yeah," he chuckled. "Almost killing him, by creating a flaming Chinese dragon" he looked at her.
And she at him their eyes met for the first time since this conversation, then she shyly shifted her head away.
"That was amazing, never seen anything like it."
"Sure you must have seen something like that before," His facial gesture said not. "Well, this is earth and I see things like this even better every day."
"Nope, today was the first time I saw something like that, at least as far as I remember, I wonder if my parents had powers."
"Same, I can't remember my parents"
"No, I didn't say that," then he tries to remember, but he can't remember anything about his parents. "Yeah, I can't remember them."
The goes silent again as Bill tries to remember his parents.
"Well Bill It was nice to not kill you"
Snapping out of his memory trance. "Yeah-yeah it was nice to not die"
She smiled, looked at his face, and walked out.
Bill watched her as she left admiring her and felt proud the first time of talking to a beautiful girl and it went well. Then like a switch when she left he immediately went to his thinking, thoughts ran through his head but no memories, he thought.
Were we all like this?
No, Olivia remembers our parents.
Then in deeper thought, he realized.
I can't remember anything past the bike.
He tries to think before then and things get hazy.
He walked down to the center of the field going to ask Olivia about our parents. Then a call from behind, he turns to see know one.
"Bill, Bill, Bill please wake up, please wake up," calls a crying female voice.
He turns but sees no one then it calls again and again. Bill covered his ears but still heard it.
"Bill, my dear, mama is calling you, please wake up for mama, please," calls the crying female voice.
Bill looked up. "Mom?"
