Tactics - Interactive Story

[Nickpick]

The Story is about a boy aged around 13 with the ability to see the future of those he touches but when he sees 3 events that'll happen it causes him to go on a mission to rid the world of kids will abilities that he calls 'Pawns'.

I'll be N, telling his story. You guys can tell another perspective of another kid with an ability.

The book flips open, the tip of the pen touches the paper and the hands controls the pen like a trained warrior controls a sword. The letters are well printed, not cursive but normal writting, It reads

If there's a chance your reading this then I'm sorry...Everything your about to read will change your life forever. I have the ability to see the future...Wow! how funny it feels getting that out.

Now there's more to it than to close my eyes and see the future. I must have direct contact with the person I touch. Before i go into detail i must tell you 3 events that i'm certain will happen!

1. The World will End of Febrary 10, 2010

2. It'll Be Unstoppable

3. I'll be killed by a pawn that i've never met.

Our kind are called many things like Devils, Demons, Beasts and Monster, We'd to be hated, we're givin our own bathroom in schools, we're not aloud to drink from the same fountain and the worst yet...We all look alike! Kids will ability share the same eye colors. One eye is blue, the other is green. There have been some rare accounts in the early 1800's of kids with ability that have brown or black. But times have change and I just hate it.

Pawns have ruined my life and they must be put down before they get what they want. Dear Journal, My name is 'N' and I promise you this...I will destroy the pawns before they destroy this world...I..Promise..You..That!

The journal is slammed shut!, N stands up from his desk, hair is black, so dark that light doesn't shine off it. His left eyes is blue while the right is green, he grabs a pair of dark shaded glasses and puts them on. His skin is darker than white. Almost a light tan. He white a black and navy blue hoodie over it a peacoat. He leaves his room then his home. He looks around his large year and looks out at the neighborhoods. He sighs and walks off, down the street, Heading to school.

[zane]

"N has left his home sir"

"Good. Follow him."

A group of people split up and follow N. He is completely oblivious"

[sportsfan23]

(umm, you said another kid with an ability, is it the same ability? same story? can they know each other?)

[zane]

(If I knew I'd tell ya)

[Nickpick]

(Yeah, Tell another kid's story in the same universe that involves the story. Different perspectives)

N stops at the corner, he feels a slight cold wind travel down his back, he turns around and looks down the street. It's quiet, cars on the side and house's so quiet it felt like nobody was in them. He turns when he sees a girl with brown hair that was straight, face so cute that she just had to be a cheerleader, a lip ring pierced her bottom lip and her smile was so bright the sun reflected off it. Her clothes gave her a punk attitude away. She was cute, fun to be around so why didn't N show the slightest emotion towards her

"Boo"

The girl does a slight jump at N, N doesn't budge

"Kara, Like yesterday...no, you didn't scare me cause like yesterday, i already knew you were going to do that"

"Well forgive a girl for trying"

"Forgiven"

N walks past her, She quickly follows close to N

"So how's your morning going kiddo? See any futures that we must dish about?"

Dish? I wasn't a gossip, in fact...i wasn't much of anything, i wasn't emo nor was i some kind of punk kid nor was i a skater. I sorta fell between the cracks and just found my own personality. I guess the only similarity was that i was rebellious....against pawns

"You know how i feel about my ability? I don't talk about yours"

"Mine?"

Kara smirked, She puts her hands deep down in her skinny jeans

"Well my ability isn't like yours, you see the future and i...while i can do something that even speaking it hurts my head"

"You can change and feel emotions around you, i would take that in a heartbeat!"

"Okay, don't have to get emotional...Be happy"

N smiles, something he wasn't doing but something Kara made him do, He nods and looks at his watch

"Class starts in 5 minutes and we're not even close to getting there"

"Then lets run"

Kara smiles and nods, N runs off before Kara, Kara stops smiling all of a sudden, She turns around and feels different emotions close by. She's never really felt that much emotion, She steps back and runs off, following N

[zane]

Back at the base of our mysterious group leader...

"STOP! Return to base immediatly. If she's involved then I'll have to handle this."

The leader steps into the light, revealing messy black hair that covered his upper face, what wasn't covered by his hair was covered by the full face mask he wore. His cloak was long and black. In the darkness, he was practically invisible. If it wasn't for the red eye that stuck out of a crack in the mask. He left his base. Quickly catching up to N and Kara, and following them in the shadows

[sportsfan23]

I'm fifteen years old...fifteen, and I'm rotting in a top secret cell for being...different. Do you know what it's like to be different then everyone else, but still be the same? Do you know what it's like to be picked on for having a special talent? What is talent, exactly?

Is it being able to play basketball, being able to draw well, maybe even tell the future by the touch of a person's skin? Why is it the last one that attracts attention? Why do people fear me? Well, maybe a burst out in the middle of a crowd didn't help, especially when those jerks forced alcohol on me, not helping the situation..

Why did I burst out? It all started a few months ago...

[Nickpick]

-4 Hours Later-

N leans back at his desk, the teacher is writing on the board, she's speaking but it means nothing to N. Once he touched the teacher and learned all the anwers to the next 3 tests. N looked over at Kara, she was writing everything the teacher said, to focused into school. N scanned the room full of teenagers.

I'm pretty sure there's about 4 more pawns in here. the rest don't know about us, our kind are secret...it's actually one of those rules thats applied to being an ability kid. i didn't have a problem with keeping the secret, the only problem i had was the secret itself. Abilities sucked, i know in shows and movies that made having powers look so great but that was hollywood. Having an abilty was just having more weight to carry. Another secret to keep

"Psst...N"

I heard the whisper, i turned my head to look at James who called out towards me

James, the jock, big arms, big chest with a shaved head that was soldier like. He wore the jacket to prove some kind of loyalty to his team, he reaches out and touches the back on N's neck. N becomes motionless, like a secret pain traveling in his body. He becomes paralyzed. His hands in fists and his chest jerked out and he looked towards the ceiling. Jame's future revealed itself to N. N saw himself being choked against the wall by James. James smiled and laughed while he did it

"You freak!"

Another flash of James staring at a dark figure that stood before him then it cuts to black meaning one thing to N...death. Suddenly James removes his hand and it quickly cuts off, N falls on the wood desk, breathing hard

"N man, are you okay?"

N nods, Kara jumps to her feet and runs over to N, placing her hands on his back, making sure she's touching his shirt and not his skin.

"You okay?"

"We need to get out of here"

Kara raised her eyebrow as N whispered

"Why?"

"They're gonna learn about us, we need to run!"

Kara helps him up, N grabs his bag. James hears all the whispering, He jumps up

"ROOKS!"

James yells at the top of his lungs, it like a fog horn. All the kids in the class stare at N and Kara, each face is striken with a hatred even the teachers

"There goes the secret"

N sarcastically says recovering from the pain, Kara tries changing the emotion in the room but nothing happens, as if something or someone is blocking her ability. Kara tugs on N and they start running, James pushes his desk aside and runs after them while all kids follow

[Nickpick]

(You don't have to write for N, just another kid with an ability. Just to let you know)

[zane]

"Looks like my fears have come to fruition."

The Man in Black appears outside the room. He has a dagger in his hand.

"Let's see how this plays out. Hopefully that kid can keep himself safe.

[Nickpick]

All the kids stare at the dark figure, all striken with fear as other class see what the commotion is. N and Kara continue to run when James turns a corner in front of them and swing a bat, hitting Kara in the chest while N slips before he hits him. Kara falls on the floor while N stands up, James laughs as he walks up to N, throwing the bat aside, He walks up to N and grabs him by the neck and pushes him as hard as he can against the wall

"Stop...You'll...die"

N tries his best to force out but the tight grip on his throat cancels the words, James smiles

"If i didn't know better than i'd guess that was a threat. Your nothing but a rook, nasty ability welding rook"

N leaves his hands agains the wall, making the grip even worse. N quickly raises his left hand and grabs James face. suddenly the pain returns but it travels to James, causing James to see his own future. Kara gets up and makes all the kids watching, calm, she grabs the bat

"Your out!"

She swings the bat and it hits James' back so hard the bat cracks, releasing N. causing all the pain to stop, N falls unconscious, Kara gets N on his feet and she does her best to run with him unconscious

[zane]

"That's my cue"

The voice was loud enough that N and Kara could hear it from rooms away. The Man in Black appears before them

"I assume that wasn't your original plan."

[Nickpick]

Kara stops as soon as the dark figure appears before her, She throws her palm toward him, trying to calm him down but nothing happens.

"MOVE!"

Kara turns around, running toward them is a 5'9, dark curly brown hair, green eyes with clothes on that gave his personality away. Purple jeans that weren't suprising skinny. yellow shirt with purple birds flying in different directions. His shoes were at one point, clean but now random writing with a sharpie covered them. He claps his hands together and when he seperates them, both hands from the wrist to the tips of his fingers, fire. It's not normal colored fire. It's purple, which gave it a deadlier look. Kara grabs N, hugging him and stands back, The kid stops and like a flame thrower the fire hits the dark figure.

"BROWN HONDA!, GO!"

Kara nods, taking a different direction, she busts through another pair of exit doors and finds herself in the parking lot where teachers and kids who were outside, come to join the riot. She runs toward a nearby car and hides against it, She lays N between two cars and gets on her feet while ducking and searches for the brown honda. she spots the honda, last car near the entrance. She turns around and the kid is holding N's arm around the back of his neck with one of his arms around N's body, carring him

"Who was that?"

"I don't know but it's not going to last long"

They get to the car and unlock it, Kara gets in the front while the kid lays N in the back seat then gets in the front seat while a riot of students and teachers run toward them. Kara from inside the car holds her palm toward them and suddenly they stop running and just standing there, The kid backs the car up and takes off, out of the parking lot, down the road

[zane]

Back at the school. The man in black stares at the doors.

*sighs* "I really didn't want to make it a chase. Better make it quick."

Suddenly, he is gone in a small puff of pitch black smoke. Back on the road, N, Kara, and the boy have managed to get a few miles away from the school. Suddenly, the Man in Black appears in the path of the car. He holds his hand out, suddenly; the car stops moving. The tires are moving, but the car is in place. It is being held by a pitch black hand, coming from the car's very shadow.

"Now then.(His voice becomes extremely calm. Almost comforting) Can we talk?"

[Nickpick]

N wakes up, coughing heavy. Kara looks at him

"Are you okay, N?"

The kid turns to the backseat and looks at N while he gets himself up. N shakes the feeling off

"Do it..."

"Do what?"

Kara asks, N combs his hand throw his hair

"Talk to him"

Kara looks at the kid, the kid at Kara. N opens the door and gets out, N does his best to stand on his feet when he really wants to drop to the ground. N walks to the front of the car, several feet away from the dark figure

"Your name?"

The kid and Kara join N. N looks over at the kid

"Benjamin"

N nods, The same moment, they all look at the dark figure ahead of them

[zane]

My name is Zachary. But, to keep these Pawns from hunting me down. I call myself Zane.

Zane walks closer. His hair being touched by the wind, rustles.

"Now that introductions are out of the way. Tell me. Are you all Rooks?

[Nickpick]

"Okay someone's gonna need to catch me up on what the hell Pawns and Rooks are?"

Kara says as the tone rises, N looked at her

"Like chess...Rooks is the term for kids with abilities while pawns..."

N looks at Zane

"Only i used that term...Who are you?"

[zane]

"I guess you could call me...."

Zane dissapears and reappears right in front of N..

"The Bishop of this little game of chess. And the King, wants to see his Rooks."

[Nickpick]

N stares Zane right in the eyes, showing no fear

"It doesn't matter, who claims to be King because i've seen the end and i tell you, in the last days...there are no kings, no queens...only pawns and thousands will die because of us"

Kara listens as a certain sadness comes over her, This is the first she's heard about this

"If you don't believe me...see for yourself"

N raises his hand and touches Zane's forehead with his index finger suddenly pains travels through N's body as he shows brief images of the end of the world to Zane. Blood and fire, the streets are torn and buildings lean against each other, bodies are everywhere and two armies of pawns rushing each other with projectiles flying everywhere, people flying and dying. Another flash on N, dead on the floor causes N to remove his finger from Zane's forehead. The pain was getting better to control

"So...welcome to the war"

[zane]

"Well. If the end's coming. We'd better get moving."

Suddenly a small sound is heard. It's coming from Zane's collar. Zane goes to the side of the road. A voice is heard

Z. Come in Agent Z. The King wants to know where his rooks are.

"Tell him he can shove it up his-

Zane crushes the transmitter. He walks back to N, Kara, and Ben.

"Mind lettin' me come along?
