Sky
Overbearer
All around me, glittering jewel-like pieces cover the ground. Everything destroyed. They must know the Carving Glass cannot be broken, but they’ll never find it, not when it’s with the Agency.
“Sky!” Jared calls behind me, “Everyone knows that it’s the pack of 3, that one werewolf, the alpha, who infected a couple of his friends. We’ve been trying to track them down for several years. The worst thing is, their ‘bout the same age as us, not those bulky adults we’ve been getting at. Maybe one day, one of us will find them and get them. They’ve already killed two of our Hunters, and their being labeled a 40-star.”
“So you have to be a 40-star Hunter in order to hunt ‘em?” I ask, my eyes wide,”Where’d you get all this info?”
“Yesterday, I overheard one of the Trainers talk about ‘em. That’s why they sent us here to investigate.”
“Sure, well I sure do smell werewolf, especially here.” I point to the tooth, yellowed and pointy.
“I guess so, we should put the tooth in the evidence bags, maybe this can give us extra points for the star-level test you’re taking at the end of this month.”
“It’s only the 30-star test.”
“Yeah, the 30-star test that’s as difficult as the 100-star one!”
“You amuse me.”
“You amuse me!”
I laugh a bit, “Us 9-year-olds joking around on an assignment. We really shouldn’t.”
“Yeah, let’s go back.”
At the Agency, Dr. Brelack is waiting. His stern look reminds me of my failures, that one assignment where I couldn’t find anything……… Well, at least this time we found a tooth, and with some DNA testing, they can find who it was.
Jared hands over the evidence bag, bows his head in silence, and scurries in the building, I do the same, and I follow him to the Training Room. This large expanse of at least one acre included an half of an olympic-size swimming pool, martial arts platforms, dummies, sticks, swords, nunchucks, and punching bags. In the far corner, a domed passageway, 50 feet long loomed. Inside, everything could be controlled and tracked with buttons, dials, and switches on the “control panel” on the outside
