In the darkest of times, there was always a hero to make the land bright again. But have you ever wondered where they get there power from? Well, they get it from this special orb that gives them there power. But if a hero gets beaten or fails, their power will be lost forever unless they can prove themselves worthy of it again. But one day a hero did not succeed in this battle, and he forgot to go to the orb to do his punishment so his powers never went away. After that, he went into hiding, never to be seen again. Until now.

A scientist found a secret room in The San Francisco Library and she found a dead body and a watch. She put it on and she was floating in the air. But then something happened. She was never found alive again. This kept happening until someone came out alive. She was a little girl about seven years old. This is a story of her life.

When she was ten, her mother and father died in a car crash so she was on her own to find food and shelter. Then one day a lady found her and took her to a mansion and said if she liked it she could stay there of course she said yes. It was like heaven there. When she looked around, she could not find her room so she asked the nice lady were it was. The lady whose name was Andrea said it was right in front of her and the girl whose name was Lilly burst out laughing because that room was big. It was huge. It was an entire wing of the house.

“Are you sure?” asked Lilly.

“Well, do you think I would lie about it? You’ll be in a room with my daughter, Mandy. She’s about the same age as you, but a bit older. I’m so excited for you to meet her. She’ll be so excited to have a little sister like you.”

Later that night when Mandy came home from school, she asked, “So what grade are you in?”

“Me, I’m in fifth grade,” answered Lilly.

“Oh I’m in sixth grade. What’s it like to be in middle school?”

“Eh kinda hard but I’m popular so it’s easier. Well, where are you sleeping?

“Um in your room. Your mom put an extra bed in for me.”

Breathing rapidly in the corner was Andrea smiling. She said, “Your outfit looks great,” but it really didn’t.

Mandy crossed her arms and said “There are so many rooms, why mine?”

“Well, you see… umm I don’t know.”

But then, before Lilly could say any more, Mandy grabbed a little Sphere and started talking into it. Lilly watched as snow began to fall. Then, before she could say anything, she fell to the ground. The three of them were never seen again. Until now.

A news reporter saw something appear out of nowhere, then disappear again. After a week or two a lot of people started seeing it too, but no one knew what it was. After a while someone went missing a week later another and another. After a year, over a thousand people disappeared. No one knew what was happening. Everyone was scared to even go outside because they didn’t want to be taken. After a while someone invented drones that could bring food and water to people. Then one day a girl went out to play but she saw another girl walk by and she had powers. The girl ran home and told her mother. The woman called the news department and told them that she knew how people were disappearing. She was never seen again.
