One morning, I woke up and realized I could hear everyone’s inner voice. But how could I have known that my new ability would change my life forever….
I woke up in a sunny morning. The alarm started beeping like it wanted to kill me! I wore my school uniform and got ready to go to school. I went downstairs. I could hear my mom’s voice in the kitchen. When I went there, I saw mom was cooking the breakfast. But I noticed something was wrong. Like something that it had to be unusual. I looked at my mom’s face but her lips weren’t moving. I looked again and again… I could hear my mom’s voice but why her lips weren’t moving? Suddenly a fear took over me. Was that her inner voice? Mom noticed me while I was looking at her in a scary face. “Why are you staring at me Amelia? Is something wrong?” she asked in curious. “No way! How is that even possible? It has to be a dream. It has to!” I shouted. I ran to the door as fast as I could. I can’t even remember how could I got to the main street. The voices were all over me! “I’m going crazy…” I thought. There are two explanations for this super weird situation. First one, I was a freak so I could read people’s minds. That means that I was a telepath. Second one, the more realistic one, is that this was just a bad dream. Well, I was pretty sure that this was a bad dream but my inner voice was shouting at me. “IT WAS REAL!”
I was desperate and exhausted… While I was walking like a freak, someone touched my shoulder. When I turned my back, I saw a man who was wearing black suits was staring at me. “Uh, sir? May I help you?” I asked. Then I heard the man’s voice. “Sorry kid but I have to kidnap you. For your own sake, for the entire world’s sake…” I felt the fear all over my body. I couldn’t move. The black suited man gripped my shoulder and said “Hello little one, I need to show you something Ok? Can you come with me?” I didn’t say a word. After I shouted with fear, I started to ran to the end of the street. I could still hear the man’s inner voice. “You little brat! Why did the agency give me that stupid mission?! Is that really necessary to capture that monster? Oh right, this is for the world’s peace. Whatever…” I didn’t stop until I couldn’t feel my legs. After a while, he finally caught me. I screamed in pain but nobody heard me. He took me in a dark place with lots of black suited guys like him. I could hear all of their inner voice. But that made me a lot worse. They were saying that I was just a subject for the project “TEG (Telepathic Experiments Group)”. Yes, I was right. I was really a freak. But there were a lot of people in my age like me that had the ability like I had. Who knows, maybe the project was for the greater good.
I escaped from that horrible place. I couldn’t stay. They did really bad things to us. When I finally escaped, I reported to the police that they were doing illegal experiments. Then I got back to my ordinary life. But even now, I can still read people’s minds. But that doesn’t bother me anymore. Because I’m helping people with my ability. But I’ll never learn what they were really trying to do.
