me. It’s a girl of my age, her black eyes are filled with concern. She has short brown hair wore in ponytail .Here eyes are tiny, a perfect set of lips below it. Her skin complexion matched that of her hair.
“You, okay?" she asked.

"Fine." I said.

The bunks are removed and all the people are staring at me. I braced myself quickly.

"I'm rose," I said.

"Helen."

She occupied the chair next to mine.

"How much time does it take to reach the school?" I asked.

"We are almost there."

The pace at which we are moving doubled. We traveled straight not even a turn. After sometime, I saw there is a dead end but the bus driver is unaware, he is still continuing at the same pace. Even the students are too busy to notice this. I'm the only one aware of the obstacle. The conductor is humming a tune closing his eyes. I tried to shout to the driver about the dead end but it's too late, we are inches away from the wall. I screamed closing my eyes. I'm going to be dead in a few seconds away from my family. Will they know about my demise? Granny will be shattered when she knows about it.

Helen is shaking me. May be the bus skidded to a sudden halt, how could that be? Without a sudden jolt?

Rose...

"It's fine. Look at me." Helen said.

I peeped. Not even a scratch on the bus and the people in it are as intact as ever.

The wall...the wall
I stared at the front mirror of the bus there is no wall ahead.

Everyone burst into laughter at once.

"Oh! It's an apparition." Helen said.

"What?" I said turning to look through the rear view mirror.

I am surprised to see the wall.

"Didn't anyone tell you about it?" she asked.

"There are many things that I wasn't told." I said embarrassed.

"Oh!"

I remained silent for a while. Helen tucked me and points at something. It's like a palace .I think it would be the world's biggest palace, if only someone has seen it I thought. It's all square shaped and there is a dome made of glass and on the glass the letters glistened

"Welcome to saviors"

I stared at it and then a strange thing happened, the letters disappeared, as if in computer screen and then new words

"Welcome to new Saviors”

A list of names displayed on the dome.

Helen pointed to my name in the list. Helen's name is right next to mine on the list.

Another message saying that, all the new students should gather at the main building, in Harry's room.

"DO you know where this place is?" I asked.

As if in answer to my question, an arrow pointed us, to my right. We all moved in that direction, there are about 15 people along with me. Each time we stopped to check for the direction, the dome pointed us an arrow.

After what seemed to be a 15 min walk, we reached a place where the words appeared Harry's room.

"Come in." A voice sounded and the doors opened itself.

We entered into a beautifully decorated room.

"WELCOME TO SAVIORS" a voice boomed.

I looked frantically in every direction for the source of voice, but everyone seemed to be staring straight ahead, I turned to look at what they are seeing. It's a mirror of head length and in it is the speaker, he is in black suit, his dark skin, neatly trimmed hair and beard, remained me of will smith so much.

AS you all know, there are three houses, each have different work and different things to learn. Each of these houses is important for the sustenance of life on the earth but these houses are divided based on your strengths and what you will be good at. Those who have patience and sympathy for the suffering will be placed in the healer’s house. The persons with excellent methodologies and never ending stream of ideas will be placed in the trackers team. Brave at heart will be placed in the fighter's team. Your classes and training will be done according to your house.

Mr. Harry asked, one by one to step forward and few minutes of interaction with the person, he declared the house of the person. I thought it would be good if I have Helen in my house I thought. We are both classified as healers, three other persons classified as healers apart from us.

"Rose," Mr. Harry called me as I am about to leave the room.

He gestured me to come closer.

"Learn all the principles quickly, for you will not be staying in that house forever." he said.

I thought of asking what he meant but he disappeared, so I let it go. After all when am I told vividly? I thought.

Helen was waiting for me in the corridor.
"Let's go, find our rooms we don't have any classes for today."

"I need to visit pet house." I said.

"You have a pet?"

I nodded.

"Let's go then." she added.

It's no difficult to find a place here, because the dome seems to be guiding us where ever we want to go. James is playing with kitty when I reached there. Kitty saw me coming and purred at me.

"The cat is so persistent of seeing you." he said smiling.

"You read animals mind too?" I questioned.

"NO, it's the first time. You have a special cat." he said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Can I take it to my room?" I asked.

"I don't think so."

"Why? Aren't pets allowed in room?" I asked.

"Your roommate has to approve of your cat or else it stays here and you can come and see it whenever you want."Helen said.

"Oh! Well than I have to ask her." I said.

"When will I know who my roommate is?" I asked.

"Wait a sec." he said and drifted into thoughts (Probably reading mind of some person)

"Helen," he said after a while.

"Me?" she shrieked with excitement.

Kitty came to her and started rubbing at her legs and giving her the innocent look that she does when she wants some extra milk. Helen took her into her hands and cuddled it.

"It's settled then."James said.

He took kitty and placed a tag on her saying

Kitty [pet of Ms. Rose woods]

I thanked him.


"Let's go, find our rooms."

We reached a narrow passageway and there are rooms on either side of the passage. There are about 15 doors on each side.

"How do we find our room?" I asked.

"You take left and I’ll take right when I find our room. I'll call you." I added.

"NO need," she said and unlocked the door right next to us.

Our room is well furnished and above all, it's same as my room at home. The same pink rose wallpaper and the ceiling is painted with full moon and many stars. There are two beds at the center of the room one covered with pink sheets (obviously mine) other in sky blue color. A small couch on the left corner where kitty is relaxing. A big window enough to sit, with a view of the vast spread green sheet.

Helen is arranging her books on the table which remained me of something.

"How did you know it's our room? There's not even a name plate on it?" I asked.

"Magic." she replied smiling.

I frowned.

These rooms are all build with magic. You can open any door here to get into your room. It's not the door but it's your thought that allows you to enter into your room. Wasn't the room just decorated according to your taste?

I nodded. This all works on magic?
“Didn't anyone tell you about this place?” Helen asked.

"I have some questions, will you tell me?" I asked.

"What's this place? What do they teach here?" I asked.

She sat down on my bed with a huge sigh.

This place is savior’s academy. They teach us, how to fight the invaders and how to protect mother earth. They teach us; all that we need for living safely on this planet. They teach us, how to save our fellow beings from invaders. You are here because you are gifted.

"Gifted? What?" I asked.

That, you have to tell me. What's your power? Saying so she clapped her hands and everything went so dark that I couldn't even see her in the broad daylight.

"This is my power." she said.

"I don't know what I'm gifted with." I said embarrassed.

"How come you are here?" she asked vexed.

I told her my story right from my birthday mishap. She listened to everything keenly and gasped when I said about how my fury caused my cousin to be launched over the ground as a rocket missile.

"May be your power is, to move matter according to your will." she said.

"May be," I murmured not knowing what to say.

"Give it a try." she urged pointing the pillow on her bed.

I didn’t know what to do. I just stared at the pillow but it didn't budge an inch. She urged to focus on lifting the pillow. I concentrated only on the pillow and thought of having it in my hands.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

The pillow did come into my hands. Later I practiced on many things around me, lifting them and placing them at different places. At last I focused on kitty. Kitty is irritated to see her lifted up, in the air. It purred at me giving a malicious look.

We amused at the discovery of my power. Then there goes a strange voice announcing that, it's time for lunch. I gathered up my jacket and followed Helen to the canteen.

It is really big place, thousands of people could eat here. There are three rows of tables along the whole length of the hall. At the other end of the tables, a big round table and the dome stated that it's reserved for staff .On our right there is another small table, only 3 seats to sit. Dome stated that it is reserved for leads. Leads???May be some higher authorities I thought.

I tagged along with Helen and we found a seat near the right end. Formal introductions are going. While I am busy in remembering every name that I heard. I heard a familiar voice calling me.

I choked when I saw who the speaker is. It's my cousin’s who are responsible for all this sudden change in my life, I am glad to see them here, after all they are the only people I know here.

"Andy! Kenny!" I ran into them and gave them a big hug.

"You go here?" I asked.

Andy patted me on the shoulder. My friends made room for them to sit. Andy is good looking but kind of frightening and Kenny is bulky and looks like a weirdo.

"How's the journey?"Andy asked.

"Hell."

"Don't blame mama for this; she really
