The Magicians As Francis woke up on a cold windy northeastern day on a cold damp trashy bench that he didn't recognize he felt confused. Francis isn't an ordinary teen. But you'll find that out later. All you'll need to know is Francis' mother died when he was two and his Dad has brain cancer. So Francis is an orphan, but he ran away a year ago. He than lived under a bridge in Omaha Nebraska under Interstate I-80. One night he went to sleep and than woke up in New York. He recognized the place because he and his Dad went on vacation here before he got cancer. The question is though. How? Francis thought this over and over. He than reached into his pocket for his knife and found instead a big stack of money. It turned out to be over $3,000.00. He wondered around the park thinking about the recent events. Francis walked around the park for thirty minutes and this man just sits there on a bench staring at him. Now two men were. Now four. NOW FIVE. Francis broke out into a run and so did the other five guys who were now chasing him. He ran and ran and Francis wished they'd stop. Then as if someone shot a firework a flash of red light filled his eyes and after the flash was over the men were gone, but in their place were bunnies. They weren't just your average Joe bunnies, weird enough they were dressed in the same outfits the men were wearing. Francis took an I.D. from one of the bunnies. It said **C**riminal **I**ntelligence **A**gency. Francis whispered "that’s the **C.I.A.** What would they want with me?" He didn't have time to answer this question or why the men were bunnies. Francis knew there'll be more. He left the park and used the money to buy a plane ticket to Chicago Airport. When he got there he ran finally after a while he got out of the Airport. Francis while leaving ran into a girl about his age "sorry" said Francis but she turned it down. She had a small boy with her who looked about six years old. "I'm Francis." "Carla. But if you excuse me I'm really in a hurry." Francis let her pass when he noticed that she had a C.I.A. badge in her hand. Francis had a hungrily surge of anger and before he new it black fire came out of his hands and hit Carla out cold. He walked up to her while the little boy cried and Francis wondered how he did that. When he got up close he noticed that the badge wasn't hers. It had a different picture and different name. Francis new he couldn't just leave her and the little boy so he pulled all his strength together and carried Carla (if that was her real name) while the little boy followed. Francis took them to a platform under a bridge surrounded by over head roads. Francis ended up getting enough rage to do the black fire thing to start a fire. Carla woke up with a scream by seeing Francis' face. Carla yelled "You’re..." but Francis managed to put his hand over her mouth to stop her sentence.”Where is Ben" Carla demanded. "Who's Ben?" Francis asked. "The little boy." Carla answered "over there" he pointed to a boy fast asleep. "What's your story?" Francis asked. Carla replied "what do you mean." Francis clarified "did anything happen to you like me because the C.I.A. is after me and I think I have powers of some sort." "Oh." Carla answered. "Well my story starts about a couple days ago and here it goes." = ﻿ * * *  =  Well it started about two years ago when my parents went to jail by robbing a convenience store and me and Ben had to go to and orphanage. The days we spent there were horrible. Nothing we had ever seen. Then we had our monthly fire drill again but I and Ben had a plan. We ran and ran and got away from that bad place. Over the days I don't know how we made it through the cold. It was winter you see when we left the orphanage. All I can remember is that we struggled and slept under bridges or if were lucky in someone's back yard. One night I and Ben just found a lot of food and a nice place to sleep and when we woke up we're just outside the Chicago Airport. Then we made a dash to the indoors and we found you. I walked away from you and I felt an instant blast of heat and everything went black. I woke up and hear I am. = ﻿***  =  "Well it looks like you're stuck with me for a while." "I guess so." They took shifts to sleep and who takes watch while the little ten year old boy slept from this hard confused day. Francis still had a hunch that he didn't want to trust them but he let it go soon after his shift was over. Francis when the night was over the little boy opened his eyes when Carla woke him up on his small (but apparently comfy) piece of cardboard. It turned out that Francis has enough cash to buy everyone a plane ticket as far as to Denver Colorado so they traveled there carefully with $500.00 left to spare. They made camp in a cheap motel and stayed the night after getting some food from a nearby restaurant forgetting about shifts by being too tired and went to sleep. They woke up and ate at a nearby diner and left the city after they ate. They settled outside the town about three miles out and stopped at a rock for shade. This rock was different from other rocks. It had a hand print on it like one of those in spy movies and you put your hand in it and there was a secret entrance except that this was made of rock. Out of curiosity Francis put his hand in it. The rock instantly fell apart and it revealed a set of stairs. While Francis was fascinated by the stairs Carla read on the wall it read: //Only Magis or Magies can wield enough power to open the entrance to the Home for Lost or Chased Magicians.// Carla was stunned. Hadn’t she been what is called a Maggie or have Francis been what the rock called a Magi? She showed the inscription to Francis and he was more stunned then she was. He said "I heard this word before. “Carla asked. Francis said "well I'll tell you." = ﻿***  =  Well it starts two days before when I woke up in New York. I went to my little home under the bridge like usual and it there were words all over the walls and it said those words and under it said two. Then two days after I'm in central park. =  ﻿***  =  "Wow" Carla said. "Well we going down there?" asked Francis "Yeah." said Carla "Ladies first.” Francis said. "No, no you go please." Carla replied Francis said "no I insist." //Urgh//// went Carla. // She walked down the stairs followed by Ben and last came Francis. At the bottom of the stars came a large brass door. The door was about ten feet tall and five feet wide. There were two large knockers on the door in the shape of an eagle and the handle was made of hedgehog. Francis carefully spoke "Wow...this, is...amazing" Francis got back his voice "but what does it go to." Carla added in "there’s only one way to find out" Carla opened the door. Inside it was...unbelievable. There to the left was a white stone circle arena, to the left was what looked like an eating pavilion, in the middle there was one enormous building on the right side was a door that said girls bunk and on the left side door said the words boys bunk. Than there was one door in the middle with a stain glass window and was made out of polished oak it said main office. Carla and Ben started up to the main office Francis followed. Wile they walked people stared at them about five seconds then shrugged and went back to what they were doing. Carla opened the door to the main office with Ben and Francis. In there was a small room. About the size of a small bathroom and they walked in the door that lead to another much larger room. Here was a huge room bigger than the building outside all of them we. They walked up to a desk where there was a plump woman sitting down facing them with forced smile. She said glumly “welcome to the Home for Lost or Chased Magicians or Holcum. Here you will find your safety and education about who you are and how to control yourself. Please go through the door behind me to prepare for evaluation." The desk soon went through the floor and a door appeared in its place. Francis took the lead Followed by Carla and Ben. In the room there was shelf after stuff of things you'd see in a movie or something. A man said form behind them "What size glove do you where?" Francis got confused as well as everyone else.
