《Hidden》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The next morning, Emma got out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom, her hair a mess from tossing and turning in her sleep. She stripped and turned on the shower, waiting for the tempature to rise. Once the water was steaming, she hopped in the shower and let the warm water ease her muscles. She worked some soap into her hair and rinsed it out.
She heard a banging on the door and someone letting themselves in. The sound of the toilet lid being flipped up was heard followed by the sound of vomitting.
"Hangover?" Emma asked.
"Yep, I knew I shouldn't of drank all of those shots." Ashley said before she vomited again. This was one of the only times Ashley wasn't rude to Emma, once Ashley was hungover, she would let her guard down for a bit. Emma turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around herself before waking out. The cold air of the room made her shiver as she changed into her uniform, clipping on her silver emblem pin before grabbing her books.
"Aren't you gonna shorten that skirt of yours?" Ashley asked, leaning against the doorway.
"Nope, I don't know how and I don't care." Emma asked, trying to get past Ashley, but she just kept mimiking Emma's moves and continued to block her way. "At least let me show you."
Emma groaned and sat down on her bed crossing her arms as ashley adjusted her skirt. With a final 'done' Emma stood up and examined her blue skirt. It was now up to her mid thigh and Ashley smiled at her work.
"There, now you don't look so weird," Emma raised an eyebrow at Ashleys statement. "Maybe you wouldn't be bullied as much of you just learned some fasion tricks."

Emma was going to thank her but Ashley was already out the door, the sound of her fan group following behind. Emma shook her head and headed to first class.
When she arrived she noticed that David and Peter were already there.
"Hey guys." Emma waved, catching the attention of the two boys.
"Hey Emma did you hear?" Peter asked. Emma made her way up the class and sat by David. "The Eastern Academy has been destroyed, and the only survivor was that girl that crashed here."
Emma frowned. Did Jasmine know about this? How would she react? So many thought swamped her mind that she didn't notice the teacher walk in.
"Alright students, today we have a new transfer student," some people were hyped, while a small amount had some suspicion raised. It wasn't normal for this many transfer students to arrive in a year, let alone a month. "Please welcome Jasmine Sheif."
As the sound of her name, Jasmine walked in the class, her silver hair in a neat pony tail. Jasmine's eyes darted around everyone in the class and she stopped at Emma. A smile inched on her face and she made her was up to her, sitting down next to her.
"Nice to see you again Emma." Jasmine whispered. Emma smiled back at her and have her a pencil.
"Nice too see you too, welcome to history class." Emma joked. Jasmine rolled her eyes with a smile as she listened to the teacher.
"Alright everyone, I'm handing back your assignments from a month ago, the class average was a sixty-three percent." The teacher, Mrs. Lennons started handing out the marked assignments, some students silently cheered, while others groaned about how bad they did. When Emma got her's back, her eyes widened.

She got an eighty-five, one of the best marks she has ever gotten. Jasmine whispered a good job to her and David have her a thumbs up. Curious, Emma looked over at David's assignment and her jaw dropped. He got an outstanding ninety-five and a little smiley face from the teacher.
Peter snickered a little when he layed eyes on the smiley face, making David lightly punch his shoulder.
"Nice job." Emma complimented David. Peter lifted up his paper which was poorly organized and has some scribbles from pencil crayons.
"I did good too! I got an...81! See!"
"Peter, that's upside down. Its actually 18." Emma laughed. Peter looked back at his paper and flipped it over, staring at the mark. His eyes widened as his head slowly looked back over to Emma.
"In gonna die with an 18 on my first assignment at this school, kill me now so I don't have to suffer." Peter joked. The two girls laughed as David banged his head on the desk as Peter started to fake cry. Soon enough the laughter died down to a low giggle as Mrs. Lennons started the next lesson.
When class was over, Emma showed Jasmine to her next class. The two girls changed their clothes for gym and headed outside on the field. The cool autum breeze made Emma's hair fly out of place, making her put her hair up into a high pony tail.
A teacher with platinum blond hair walked out of the school with a silver whistle around her neck. Her hair was cut like a man's and she has faint smile wrinkles on her face.
"Today class we're going to be learning about simple hand-to-hand combat. Were going to be working in pairs so hurry up and choose you partners." Lots of girls came up to Jasmine, but she kept telling them that she already has a partner. Emma, on the other hand, was asking people to be her partner, and everyone she asked replied with a simple 'no' or ' already have one'.
Just as Emma was going to pair up with the teacher, a warm hand touched her shoulder. She raised her head to see who it was and she was greeted with a smile that she had met last night.
"Where ya going, partner?" Jasmine asked with a kind smile. Being a little taller then Emma, she blocked out the sun from her eyes and it made Jasmine's face glow. Emma smiled and stood beside Jasmine as she waited for the teachers instructions.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
