Chapter 5: What does G.O.T.E mean? Part 1

Cate observed the strange men who stood directly before her with her light blue narrowed eyes. There was a feeling of suspicion deep within her gut about these guys. Possibly due to the unexpectedness of their arrival.

She pondered about what they could possibly require from her little brother. The Government? What compelled them to come to my house and demand for my little brother? Were they going to hurt him. No they can't, he's highly fragile, mentally and physically!

She slowly let them in. The way she hesitated was noticeable but ignored by the men. She was not exactly positive if that decision was a rather smart one or not.

"Where's your brother?" the guy who wore the gray tux asked. His eyes stared directly into Cate's. These two men were highly difficult to read and managed to maintain a face without emotion. As though they were mindless robots.

"In my kitchen," she answered slowly yet fully of skeptically. She led them through the living-room into the kitchen to where Camden was. However her little brother was too distracted to notice their entrance. He was attempting once again to extend his hand out for the counter so he could possibly pull himself back the floor.

The sight was, in the least, embarrassing. His tongue stuck awkwardly out of his mouth and to a bystander it appeared as though he was trying to 'swim' down to be able to grab that table counter.

"I presume this is your brother?" the guy point to the strangely clueless floating boy.

"Yeah," Cate nodded. She let out a disappointed sigh. Looking with utter shame at how her little brother was making a complete fool out himself. However deep down she secretly wanted to burst out laughing.

Camden shifted his head to see his seemingly disappointed older sister next to, two very formally dressed up men. He referred to a more casual position, trying to pretend his little never happened."Cate, who are these people," He asked.

"The government, from the G.O.T.E society." Cate answers.

"Government??"

In the midst of the siblings little conversation, the guy wearing a black tux hauled out a large sharp needle, and held it down to his side. Where from exactly? Ironically the answer to that question is and will remain unknown.

"Gah! W-what are you gonna do with that?" Camden asked, fear could be easily heard within his voice. Camden wasn't particularly fond of needles. Especially a long type of one like that.

"Ok Camden," he announces to ensure some type of calmness from the terrified boy. But his unemotional exterior in addition to having possession of something long enough to be a potential weapon, definitely was not going to calm any person. Actually such things made the situation appear more ominous.

Hold on. They just address my little brother by his first name, without me once introducing it to him. How did they know? Cate thought. Were they stalking us or something. Now thats weird!

"This will not hurt at all.......I think," the guy assures. Before anyone could say something or oppose him, he raises the needle from his side and quickly injects it into Camden's left arm. Camden ironically did not yell as a he would have, but merely winced due to the pain. Just seconds after he was punctured, he collapse onto the hard floor, with a loud thud. This presumably was the result of the needle.

"H-How?! What did you do!?!" Cate exclaimed.

"We neutralized his powers. Temporarily that is."

"Hey guys....I..can't....move," Camden muttered anxiously, as he attempted to move his paralyzed but only failed to do so.

"Oh. Welp that must be the side effects.,"The guy in gray said, with no trace of empathy whatsoever. "Take the boy to the car."

The guy in black nodded. He lifted up Camden without any signs of strain and left from the house. Camden normally would have mentioned something prior to being dragged out of the house but considering the guy holding him was practically three times his size and himself was paralyzed, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Wait what are you guys going to do to my little brother!" Cate asked with worry and concerned laced all throughout her voice.

"Don't worry he'll be fine..." The man assured then exited through front door, slamming it behind him.

Cate was extremely distressed about what was to happen to Camden. He somehow became her responsibility. If anything dangerous was to harm her little brother she wouldn't possibly know how to live with herself. She watches two men carry off with Camden, from that of her window.

***

The snow fell harder, reaching to around eight inches high and the once soft breeze blew harsher. Yet Seraphina didn't even appeared to be affected by the cold, regardless of her revealing outfit. She trudged her way up the patio stairs blanket with snow then opened the red door to enter her house. Her parents were currently at work so she had at the very minimum three hours before one of them could arrive.

Seraphina walked up stairs into her room, then took off her shoes and threw them. Look back into her closet to find a better set of clothes: without foam and snow scrambled all over them. The outfit was similar to her previous one but now she wore an orange shirt.

She scans the messy room, pondering on what activity she should indulge herself in before her parents- more so her mother -returned back home. "Maybe I should clean like my mom told me to do three days ago." She says as she picks a few scattered clothes and throws them into her closet. " Ugh..that was so much work, I'll clean up next week" she whines.

"So maybe instead, I'll.... Watch some TV" she jumps on her bed, sinking it in and reaches for the remote on her nightstand. However as she extends her arm for it, a bright red fireball blasts out of her right hand, burning the little remote, yet somehow not disintegrating it.

"Gaaaahhhh," she screams unsteadily, staring wide eyed at her hand then at the burnt remote and back at her hand; for what seem like a long unstoppable cycle.

"Ok ok ok," she eventually reassures herself," I'm fine, I'm fine, I did NOT just burn that remote with a fire-- OH who am I kidding SOMETHING STRANGE IS GOING ON!!" she throws her hands frantically in the air. Unfortunately another fireball shot out of hand but instead into the ceiling. A fairly large hole formed and a piece of wood fell out.

"Crap now my mom is going to kill me. But WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!"

About three hours passed when the front door opened up. A harsh wind blew loudly threw the door, until it was eventually shut. Seraphina's mother just arrived from work, and frankly she was heavily tired. She took off her black coat, hanging it on the coat rack. She then takes off her red heels, throwing them near the door. She trotted over to the fluffy white couch and sunk into it. Just as she felt like she was actually relaxing for the first time, she heard a loud thud coming from upstairs.

"What the--" her mom started raising her eyebrow. She hauls herself from off the couch and makes her way up stairs, in a fairly quick pace. Another sound could be heard but this time noticeably from Sera's room.

"Sera's I swear if that's you, You will be so grounded!" her mom says angrily. Seraphina has ditched and got suspended from school many times before and her mother almost strangled her because of it. So if she did catch Seraphina wandering around the house when school was only two hours from ending, she just might blow a fuse. She walks into the room and see's the ceiling broken, a burnt remote, and a hole in the bed. "How did--" Sera's mom started," Sera! If this was you, you are MORE than just grounded, young lady!!"

Sera runs up to her mother, with panic in her eyes. But not because of her mother's arrivals for once. She was afraid of how fire was emitting out of her hand and destroying everything!

"Sera!" Seraphina's mom yells at the top of her lungs," You Got Five Seconds To Explain to Me Why You are NOT AT SCHOOL!!"

Sera tried to calmly explain what's been happening, but all that came out was," MOM, HAND, CEILING, COUCH, HAIR, FIRE!!"

Seraphina's mom just stared at her, thinking of the multiple ways she would punish her for all of this.

Sera takes a deep breath, then hurriedly blurts out, "Ok, So I was at school and my hair caught on fire! Everyone was panicking but the teacher help and said I could go home. I got home and fireballs shot out from my hand and--"

"Mmhm mhm," Seraphina's mom interrupted not convinced whatsoever. She grab Seraphina's arm and yanked her out her room. "Sera I don't care how old you are, I can still get a bat and BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!! It's one thing to ditch school! But to ditch, destroy the house and LIE TO ME!"

"But mom I'm not lying this time....er I mean I'm not lying. I swear! What I'm saying is true," Sera tried to escape her mom's grasp.

In the midst of Seraphina's mom literally dragging Sera down the stairs, Sera's hand got heated up once more and shot a hole through the wall .

"Sera What the hell did You just doing!!" Her mom yelled.

"SEE I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU I WASN'T LYING!!" Sera exclaimed. Her mom hauled her back up to her feet.

"YOU BETTER TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON. RIGHT THIS INSTANT!"

"I WOULD if I knew!"

A couple of hours passed and Seraphina's mom was panicking about what could possibly be going on with her daughter. She looked as though just became conscious after a getting ran over by a train.

Currently she was sitting in the dining room with her laptop trying to search up watch could possibly be wrong with her daughter. 'What to do when your daughter is generating fire' Sera's mom searches on google. She never dealt with this type of predicament before. She would have call a doctor but she knew they wouldn't know what to do; considering she was a doctor herself. She then heard the doorbell ring.

Sera's mom walks to open the door. Emily, was standing there holding a metal bucket of ice? Emily assumed if Seraphina blew up again ice could possible contradict the high temperature result.

"Hello, Mrs......Aderson?" Emily greets the troubled parent."......Ok um I wanted to see if Emily was ok. Since well... Her hair caught on fire.....uh.....I brought ice just in case she needed it..."

"Oh...Well that's nice of you...Emily......um Sera is outback in the pool, Just in case of any....accidents," Sera's mom says. "I recommend you stay at least ten feet away....just in case.

"O-ok," Emily replies confused. How can she be in the pool, aren't they all frozen by now? She thought as she entered the cold backyard. Little did she know, the pool was frozen, but the minute Seraphina became in contact with the gelid ice it melted. Seraphina floated peacefully in the pool on a floaty donut; still in her casual clothes. As though everything that occurred today never happened.

"Hey! Emily!" Sera exclaims.

"H-hey Sera. Um a-are...you still exploding with flames?" Emily asks, stuttering.

"Nah," Seraphina answers. "Oh look what I learned to do!" She snaps her fingers, a small spark of fire appears, then leaves Immediately. "Cool right?"

".....yeah...cool....but... aren't you afraid?"

"Nope. Well, I was, but then I realized they don't affect me so what do I have to fear?"

"Well maybe---" Emily started but was interrupted by-

"--Uh Sera Can you come here for a second. NOW!" Seraphina's mom yells. Seraphina groaned, wondering what her mom would want with her this time. Did she blow something else up? Seraphina slowly exits the pool. She was dripping wet but still walked inside. She spots two guys in tuxes. One guy wore grey whereas the other wore black. Both appearing as though they had no emotions.

"Hey mom, who are these guys?" Seraphina asks.

"Oh these two idiots claim to be part of the G.O.F.D government society."

"Um..its G.O.T.E... Ma'am."

"Oh Like I care."

"G.O.T. E?" Emily questions and looks at Sera. Sera shrugs.

"Well you guys said you needed my daughter. For what exactly!? You didn't tell me that! And what makes you think you have the right to just waltz into my house like you Own the place!?!?" Sera's mom asks, her voice rising.

"We have a government warrant. So we have the legal right to come in."

"Oh. Well that still doesn't give you the right to--"

"Actually it does."

Seraphina and Emily gasps. "Does that mean you're leaving," Emily asks.

"Uh...I don't know."

Sera's mom looks at the two worried girls. She gives them a sympathetic look, then glares back at the men.

"Well why are you taking her!" Sera's mom says loudly; but not exactly yelling.

"Ma'am we don't have the right to tell you and thats none of your concern."

"None. Of. My. Concern. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NONE OF MY CONCERN!!!" Sera's mom hollers.

"Sorry Miss. I'd love to give you more information on what's going on but I can't. We don't have that right." Sera's mom grits her teeth.

"I...im just gonna go......" Emily says walking out the door. She saw Mrs. Aderson start a fight once on account of her daughter and doesn't want to see such a thing again."....bye Sera."

Sera gives Emily a small wave.

"You guys are telling me, you can walk into my house, take my daughter but not tell me why!?"

"Ma'am I know you're not happy with this but we can't do anything about it. Like I said we'd love to tell you more but we just can't."

The men and Seraphina mom protests for a while, but her mother couldn't seem to stop them from doing what had to be done.

"Miss. We can't argue with you all day!"

"Ok Fine!" Sera's Mom yelled defeated. She then grabbed the tie that belonged to the guy who wore grey and pulled him down to her height. " But I SWEAR if anything happens to my daughter, I will track you down and SLAUGHTER YOU ALL! Seraphina's mom stares dead into the man's eyes, which looked as though satan himself would ascend from them. Knowing well that she honestly would carry out that threat.

"We assure you, your daughter will be fine..."

The Mom releases the man.

"Mom, I really have to go?"

"Yeah. I tried but I can't do anything more about it. I would but your father doesn't exactly enjoy learning about more retraining orders." She said mumbling that last sentence.

Sera sighs deeply, as the two guys escort her to the car. Sera's mom watches them then returns back to her laptop 'research G.O.T.E government society'.'

Sera steps into the car. She see's boy around her age sitting on the other end, staring out to the window.

"Who are you?" she asks, a bit harsher than she intended.

"Camden," Camden answers,"and you are?"

"Serafina. But just call me Sera... I guess." she holds out her hand for a handshake but the boy doesn't shake it. She felt a little embarrassed though maybe more so confused.. "Um...."

"I'd shake you hand but I can't move anything from my neck, down...temporarily of course...."

There is an awkward silence

"well what are you doing here?" Camden breaks the silence.

"I don't really know. But I think it has something to with me being able to generate fire."

"You can generate fire?!"

"Yeah! I guess..."

"Well at least I'm not alone in this power thing."

"Huh?"

"Oh i just found out today I could move objects without touching them. And can fly!"

"Seriously. Well I bet you had the time of your flight," Sera bursts out laughing.

Camden just stares at her.

"Ok ok. Sorry," she says in between her laughs. "I just had too. It was the purr-fect moment."

Camden tries to hold down his laugh but chuckles anyways.

"Anyways. This power thing probably has something to do with why we're here," Camden wonders.

"Most likely," Sera agrees.

"I wonder if there's anymore like us?"

"I wonder, what does G.O.T.E mean?"
