Heart of a Lion

Three weeks later the five mutant kids were released from the baffled hospital. Still, they had no clue about what happened to them, but they concluded they were safe enough to be around other human beings. Ms. Smith sent to their homes a letter explaining where her school was and why they were going. It was just as distant and unrevealing as her little chat at the hospital was.
Andy immediately asked his parents if he could attend the school. Anything would be better than the ridicule he got daily at the public school. Mr. And Mrs. Davies were happy to allow him to go since they were constantly dogged by reporters to explain the mystery about the ‘Morphed Five’ as they were now being called.
August blew in cold and rainy. Andy was packing that very same day, his large suitcase half full of jeans, baseball caps, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. He also decided to pack his MP3 player and his prized collection of mystery novels. Fro some reason Andy always enjoyed reading mysteries.
“Andy sweetie!” called his mother, “Hurry up now, or you’ll miss your plane.”
“COMING!” he roared. Why was it that every time he yelled it became and ear splitting roar? Mrs. Davies had learned to live with it, but she kept having to add replacement windows to her shopping list every week. Her son was a sweetheart, but he really needed to control that roar.
The plane was not very crowded. Andy only recognized one person, the milkman that used to work in his neighborhood. They landed in Ohio two hours later. The letter of acceptance said there would be a group of kids going to the school. The letter said I would know them when he saw them. Ms. Francis was right. I instantly saw a boy with oily blue hair and blank glassy eyes standing next to a tall lean girl with emerald green eyes and long midnight black hair. Andy walked forward to see that the pupils of her eyes were slits like his own.
“Hello! I’m Lorelei” she said brightly in her misty voice. It sounded so cat like and smooth. The boy that looked like a fish walked over and shook his hand as well.
“Man is it hot in here or what? I feel very dehydrated, will you excuse me?” he said slipping over to the water fountain, literally.
“So what happened to you?” asked Lorelei picking up her bags and walking over to the bus stop. The fish boy stumbled over to them as well.
“I stepped into this arch and some weird lightning struck me and four other people. E woke up in a hospital,” he said with just a little effort. He still remembered that moment vividly.
“Me and Gil over there were at an arm museum and we went into a closed exhibit. It had a bunch of Native American artifacts. I spotted this bowl and we picked it up. Then this smoke arose and knocked us out. I woke up in a hospital as well,” Lorelei looked grave for a moment then she snapped back to her original content self.
“Hello children,” said Ms. Smith, “Are you ready to go to the school?”
“Very ready,” said Gil.
