Chapter 1

There are two types of people in life, the ones that live because they were given the privilege to and the ones that live because they have a purpose.

My name is John Smith, I am a survivor born in Zuthara after the ambush from our rivals, we moved to earth where we were able to live and stay safe but unfortunately those rivals didn't stop chasing.

The Enceladusians made a habit of picking on us and destroying our properties but since we moved to earth, we've had peace but that too was short lived.

Our people fought hard for the safety of the nine gifted children and they had to pay with their lives so that we could be safe.

My guardian Henry Smith, who acts as my father, told me about the eighteen people that escape from Zuthara and he has given them all numbers.

Each number had a guardian who helped to increase their powers mine was Henry.

I am number four and I know that after number three gets killed, I'm next.

I was out water boarding when I heard the scream of a lady drowning so I jumped into the water trying to save her but instead,I saw a vision of number three getting brutally murdered.

After the vision, I came out of the water with my left leg glowing very brightly that it burned.

We Zutharains are all connected mostly the nine of us, when number one died, I had a scare.

Same for number 2 and now number 3 which means I'm next.

I met up with Henry and told him that number three had died and he told me that we had to move.

Running away is the only option we have if we want to stay alive so we ran to paradise.

Where we believed that the Enceladusians couldn't find us" Henry, would we ever stop running?" I asked and he just chuckled" Son, will the Enceladusians ever stop looking for us?" He asked and I shook my head and he smiled" Then we will keep running until you are safe" He said and rumpled my his hand.

The nine of us had to split up because if we stick together, then it would take that Enceladusians a one time search to find us and we can't risk us all getting killed at once.

On getting to the apartment, Henry forged a certificate that would help me enroll in a school nearby and we both drove there.

The school was well equipped but I was still scared that I could get attacked" So John how old are you?" The principal asked and I looked at Henry who gave me a reassuring smile" 18 ma'am" I said and she smiled" Okay I've gone through all your results and I liked what I saw so welcome to our school" she said and I smiled" Okay let me give you two a minute" she said and walked out leaving just me and Henry" What if I get attacked?" I asked and he placed his hand on mine" There's something I need to tell you.

When we were still in Zuthara, there were three of you who possessed supernatural powers" He said and I looked at him confused" Number 3,6 & 9 but now that number 3 is dead, his powers have been passed to you" He said and I looked at him questioningly" So you're saying I have powers" I asked and he nodded" I have to go now there are things that need to be taken care of" He said and left.

The principal came back with a female student and her parents and took her sit" Please try and teach her to stop posting things that illegal" the principal said and the parents of the student apologised and promised to do as she have said" Now Susan please take John to his locker" The principal said and Susan agreed.

She walked me to my locker and looked at me" Just be careful pretty boy" she said and walked away.

I was putting things in my locker when some boys came and taped me" Hey you're new here right? I'm Bryan this is Collins and Charles we just wanted to welcome you.

And If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask" Bryan said and I nodded but as they were walking away they jammed a boy's head inside his locker and he fell down but they just walked away laughing.

I walked towards the boy and helped him up and he just dusted his body and started walking away" Hey are you okay?" I asked and he just turned to face me" I'm fine thank you.." He said" John Smith and you are..." I asked and he just said" Sam" and walked away.

The rest of the day was boring but I got home at about half past seven and it was raining so I was wet.

I came across a stray dog and decided to keep him but as soon as I entered the house Henry frowned" A wet dog, Seriously?" He asked and I just smiled at him" Hey buddy, lose the dog now" He said but I just took it upstairs and dried it" I'm going to name you Smith" I said to the dog and smiled" I said I don't want that Dog" Henry said and I frowned at him" But I'll need someone to talk to" I said and he shook his head" Then talk to me" He said and I made a face that read gross" Fine keep the dog" He said and I smiled
