Jason flopped down onto his bed, exhausted. Rey, Niel and another new kid, Cameron Gonzo. Neil sat on Cam’s bed, asking him a series of questions. Rey lay on top of his bed, his chest slowly moving up and down as he peacefully slept. Jason couldn’t rest, what had happened before was nerve-racking.

THE ONE’S WE’VE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT ARE HERE! the Principal’s scream flittered through his mind.
Am I one of them? Why did Professor D try to attack the Principal? How did the mans voice echo like that? questions flooded his mind. He punched his temple and crumpled onto the bed, his vision shaky. He suddenly jumped up and walked to the door.
“What’re you d-”
“Bathroom” he barely muttered as he wrenched the door open and bounded outside. Every time his foot hit the ground, fire spurted from the ends of his shoes, rocketing him forward.

He rounded the corner and knocked a vase off a stool. In a fluid motion, he dove forward, caught the vase, threw it back onto the stool and flipped onto his feet. Startled by what he had down, he started to run again. Crashing into countless people and pushing many aside, he ran aimlessly through the halls. He started to run down a main hall, bumping into some Seniors and crashing head-long into a Teacher.

“Woah, hold on their sonny!” the teacher shouted as Jason tried to spin around him. Roots sprouted out of the rock ground and spun around Jason’s legs, pinning his feet to the ground. Crowds of students watched as Jason’s shoes started to spit fire at the roots, burning them down.
“Stop!” the teacher shouted, Jason stopped, so did his shoes.
“What is your rush?” he asked, his voice a nice hum, like an engine of a car. His voice were parted apart and strung together like a poet would create a poem, perfectly.

Jason looked up into the face of his captor. Two flower-green eyes looked down at him, searching for something in his face.
“Now, who might you be?” he asked, cocking his head.
“Ahhh yes, a newcomer…Jason LiCardo, I presume?” How did this teacher he had never seen before, know his name? Jason gulped,
“Yes, sir”
“I’ll have none of that! Call me Leif, please…Sir and Professor just aren’t my style” his friendly smile calmed Jason down.

“Alright, come to my office and we’ll talk” he averted his gaze away from meeting Jason’s eyes and looked at the plants which immediately started unraveling from his feet. Jason stepped around, his feet asleep.
“This way” Leif said,
“Away, all of you! Aren’t exams coming up? Get going! Away!” he shooed all of the students away.
“Alright, this way young man” he prodded Jason up the stairs and into a large hallway with a door at the end. He opened the door, a sweet-smelling cinnamon flavor coming out and pouring over Jason and Leif.

Leif sat in a chair behind a desk, thorns and various other plants started to grown out of the desk and chair around him and start writing and opening books for him. He looked into an open book, shook his head and the plant closed it. A venous-fly-trap wrote on a piece of paper that was laid out on the desk. Jason adjusted his chair so he could read what it said:

‘Today I meet a charming young lad by the name of Rey, a very handsome and smart boy who has a twin brother by the name of Niel. “I love my brother, I don’t know what I’d do without him” Rey says as I ask him about his brother. My next question: What is your power? He answers “Fire is my friend baby!” and a small explosion erupts at his feet, enveloping him. As the dust clears away, I find nothing but air where he was standing. Amazing! Now, I sit in my office with none other than the famous J-’

“Its not nice when you read other peoples property” Leif said, the paper flying across the room and into a drawer.
“Now, my questions: Why were you running down the hall?” Leif asked him. Jason hesitated, should he trust this Professor?
“Jason please tell me what happened. This might help with…” Leif hesitated,
“It might help” he finished, placing his elbows on the desk and putting his head in his hands, his flower-green eyes piercing him, as if seeing into his thoughts.

“Well…” Jason started to pour out everything he had seen and heard at the fight with the Principal, Professor D and the man. The only thing he left out was the part Rey did. When he was finished and had taken a breath, Leif shook his head back and forth.
“Sir, is something wrong?” Jason asked.
“Yes…Something is very wrong, with the staff and the students” fear flowed through Jason’s body. He was never good with fear, it always came at unpleasant times.

“Sir, may I know what’s wrong?” Jason inquired, staring at Leif’s green hair.
“Vorgeben! That’s what’s wrong!” Leif’s head flew up, veins popped out and showed along his forehead and eyes.
“Umm, sir, who exactly IS Vorgeben?” Jason asked, not getting it. Leif laughed nervously,

“Vorgeben is the evilest, most foulest…demon.. to walk this earth. He’s the creating of the four low races, the Destroyer as some call him…” Leif hesitated before continuing,
“18 years ago, Vorgeben was the most powerful being of the age. He fed on living souls and pushed off servants like they were flees. He killed whoever stood in his way. His power was death. One punch of his knuckle, one kick of his foot, one bash of his forehead, and its over. He can throw death at you, poison your food, drug you, poison your friends, family, pets, ANYBODY that has ANYTHING to do with you! 18 years ago, he went away unexpectedly, along with 7 Knights of the Dominion.”

“Vorgeben is a Devil! And…” Leif stopped. Jason looked at him, wondering what was going to happen next. Leif just sat patiently, his eyes still bulging with red. “Listen…” he whispered.
