Megan, Annie and I were enjoying our graduation party at Dalton's culinary adventure. It is a two storey restaurant. We were about to give a speech when the Feds came in. They asked politely that I walk with them to their car. I smiled, "The law says I have to go willingly. I refuse" the man pulled out a pair of handcuffs. He marched forward saying that I was a threat to the civilian society. I smiled, "Where's your proof?" He ignored my question and walked at me regardless. I screamed and the police pushed him away. It was old man Buchanan. He and his buddies stood in front of me. The FBI agent said, "She has the ability to move things with her mind. We want her as a member of our team before she is discovered by the mythical creatures." Old man Buchanan stepped aside. I was surprised to see him do it. My friends shielded me and the Feds said that he will arrest them too. I asked him to prove how I am a threat so he can arrest me. He said, "I have none but I will find something. Until then you are officially detained"

Annie pushed me back and I landed on a man in his thirties. He looked pale and he spoke as though he was from another century. I explained my predicament and the man introduced himself as a vampire. He said that he is placing me in under his protection. I thanked the man for his help. Both the cops and Feds looked at me dejected. More vampires came in and the law enforcers had no choice but to disperse. Both of them gave me dirty looks as they made their exit. I asked to be excused and he said, "Enjoy your graduation party. When you're done we will have a chat" he touched me and I flinched. I saw myself in ancient Ireland fighting the British empire for freedom. I then saw New York City before it was buildings and fancy. It was fields of corn, pumpkin and potatoes.

I took a step back and pulled out my contact lenses. He took one look at my eyes and smiled, "My dear your problems and my problems are officially over. Meet me in the next floor once you are finished with your party. We will begin your intake." I asked them what was going on. He said, "Since you didn't choose a side you got the ability of both sides. Now you are basically a unicorn. I hope you enjoy the rest of the day since your training will begin soon." Megan and Annie thanked him and we enjoyed our pizza.

The girls wished me luck as I walked towards the stairs. I reached the first table when a woman said that she wants to talk to me. I brushed her off, "Lady I have an appointment. So whatever you want so can wait." she stood in front of me like a brick wall and I screamed. The vampire was by my side in the blink of an eye. The woman gave him the middle finger and asked him to step aside. He whistled and the other vampires surrounded her. She had no choice but to walk away. The woman said, "This isn't over. We will have a conversation soon." I asked her not to hold her breath. She walked downstairs and tried to talk to my friends. They called the waiters and she made a scene. The woman waved her FBI badge and both my friends walked out of the building. The woman tried to follow them but the vampires got in her way.

The vampire introduced himself as Patrick. The woman next to him in a cocktail dress name was Nancy. There were two Africans. One was Aamadu and the other was Abebe. The thin man behind was Carl and the vampires chasing the Fed was Bjorn, Erik, Alrick and Balder. I was given a seat and they went over my duties. I can interact with my friends but sparingly since they will be harassed to spy on me. They asked about my abilities and what has surfaced. The rest was me signing documents.

I was escorted to a tavern where the man took a branding iron and I held on to dear life as the hot metal seared my skin. He held it for not too long but for me it was an eternity. When the man pulled out the metal a woman poured a potion on it and the pain evaporated. I walked out to see the Feds were on the other side glaring at me. So was old man Buchanan. They looked like they had lost something vital. The woman boldly walked up to me. She introduced herself as Esmeralda. I told her to get a life. She asked me what my ability was and Balder said, "She is not your concern. As the law forbids you to catalog people. You would be under arrest for this." She took a step back and I was escorted to my new apartment.

Balder and Alrick showed me around. Erik made sure to keep a werewolf as a doorman which meant that the Feds can't barge in. I asked how they got a werewolf. Erik grinned, "He was hip deep in debt. I cleared it so he is here as a favor" The wolf introduced himself as Maikoh. Which is Native American for wolf. He was polite and courteous. He gave me a once over and promised to keep me safe. The others gave him a pat on the shoulder as they walked out the door. Maikoh said that the walls have been improved so no one can eavesdrop on me. He wanted to know what my gift was. I turned to face the man and he said, "Nevermind. I know why they asked me to protect you. I will do my part as long as you do your part. Do we understand each other?" I nod my head and sat down to watch TV.

The phone rang and I answered, "Hello! Who is this?" Esmeralda replied, "You are a seer. Why didn't you tell us?" I asked her, "How did you find out?" She wanted to brush me off so I threatened to hang up. She finally said, "I convinced your friends to tell me. Tell me! Is it worth it? You think you are free because you are with them. Have you ever wondered what would happen to the rest of us if you chose to work with us?" I smiled, "My freedom is worth whatever price I pay. I rather be here than be your scapegoat. Besides my gift doesn't make me your property." She took a deep breath, "Meet me tomorrow at Dirty Coffee and we will talk about what we can do to salvage this situation." I hung up as she was talking.

She called again, "Why did you hang up? As I was saying...." I hung up again. She called again and I replied before she said anything, "The fact that I hung up should tell you where my loyalty lies. So stop bothering me. I hate coffee so I will not be attending any salvage meeting." She took a deep breath, "Are you done talking? As I was saying...." I hung up. She called several times but I ignored her as rule. Maikoh laughed, "You have steel ovaries young lady. Hat tip to your gutsy attitude. Just remember not to do that with members of the clans or they will skin you alive" I gave him a thumbs up and fell asleep.

The next morning I was woken to hot chocolate and pastries. A woman name Mikayla sat on the armchair wanting to know if the rumors were true. She looked into my eyes and called me a watcher. She said if my abilities came to full strength then I would be a real threat. I asked her to elaborate. She didn't say anything so I grabbed her hand. My left eye twitched as I saw the massacre. She was the one to orchestrate it. I blurted it out and she was dragged away kicking and screaming. Maikoh said that my left eye can see people's deepest darkest secrets. So I need to be extra careful or it could cost me my head. I gave him a thumbs up and walked to bathroom to take a shower.
