The Gifted Ones

== Chapter One ==
Damien ran through the dark hallway of the unfamiliar building, the sound of pursuit close behind him. Where was he? The only thing he remembered was being dragged away from the park as he parents, sister, anyone.
==== Flashback ====
Damien’s mom had let him go to the park alone. It was less than a block from their house, and the neighborhood was normally safe. Everyone knew everyone and there were other parents at the park that day.
But Damien had wandered off to the pond down the hill. That’s where they were waiting.
“Damien,” He heard someone say. He turned and saw a woman, no, girl, she looked about fifteen or sixteen, with short, curly black hair.
“Who are you?” Damien asked, his voice shaking. “And how do you know my name?” He was sure that he had never seen this person in his life.
“I’m Melody,” She replied, answering his first question, sort of. “As for how I know your name, well, let’s just say my brother knows lots of things.
He heard someone behind him, but before he could turn, the person wrapped a blindfold around his eyes so he couldn’t see.
“Charles, don’t be so rough with him,” Melody told the guy holding Damien as he felt a rope being tightened around his wrists behind his back.
“The boy can’t know the truth yet Mel.” The man, Charles, told her.
“Then stop talking about it in front of him.” She replied as Damien felt himself being lifted from the ground.
“Mom! Dad! Sofia!” He yelled, hoping his parents or older sister would help him, even though he knew they were too far away to hear him.
