Ok, that um, obsession?

Yeah, boring, right? Sorry. Here's something more entertaining...the prolouge and 1st chapter to my new story, Mind Trick! WHHOOOPPPPAAA! I feel this is gonna be a change from my comedy/real life writing. Time for some sci-fi/action!

Tanner ran faster and faster down the hallways of the Special Minds Agency, SMA. His black hair and papers blew out behind him as he raced passed other suit-clad workers. He was trying to get to Michael, the head of SMA, and tell him about a new discovery. Tanner’s glasses began to slip down his nose as he ran faster and faster. “Michael! Michael!” He cried, bursting into the office, panting. “Easy, Tanner. Be calm. Sit down.” Michael said. His brown leather chair was turned toward the window of the office that was completely invisible to normal humans. Tanner nodded, not even seeing his boss’s face, and sat down in one of the black leather chairs lining the walls. “Now.” Michael added, turning his chair around. His blonde hair was swept to the left neatly and his suit was pressed and ironed. “What was it you needed to tell me?” “We’ve found another! Our mind scans of the world have found another!” Tanner breathed, his eyes wide with awe. “I never though those would find recruits.” Michael added, calmly staring toward the ceiling of his office where twenty TV’s were stationed, showing him the current action of other people they had found and made them workers for SMA. “How old is this new one?” Michael asked, pressing his fingertips together and leaning forward. “She’s fifteen, sir.” Tanner said. Michael nodded. “Teenagers are the most valuable recruits. Good job, Tanner.” Tanner let out a breath of relief and smiled. “Where is she?” Michael asked. “A town called Weste.” Tanner added. “It’s in Montana.” “Even more perfect.” Michael added with a sneer. “Lonely towns are the best place to make our calm appearances. Get yourself ready, Tanner. We’ve got a recruit to catch.”

Chapter 1
Amber Harris walked into the main room at her church. Hundreds of teens were there, standing in their circles of friends as the leaders tuned their guitars. She saw her five friends leaning against the back wall. First to lunge and hug her was her friend Janie. Her brown hair flowed behind her as she jumped and squealed. “Amber! I missed you!” She cried. “Janie! It’s not even been a week!” Amber laughed, pushing her blonde hair out of her eyes. Janie leaned back and sighed. She put her hands on her skinny jean-clad hips and cocked her head to show off her skin-tight black tank and heels. Amber laughed and walked forward to where Carina, in her yellow polo and flowered mini skirt, was standing, hips cocked as always. Her bright blonde hair, blonder than normal due to extreme highlights, glowed like a siren light among the room. Next to her stood Kayla, the shortest of her friends. Kayla had curly black hair, thin wire glasses, and was wearing a grey jacket, light jeans, and brown flip flops. She nodded and laughed as Carina talked with her hands and hips. Mesmerized by Carina was Jack. He had on a black fedora over his curly brown hair, red skull shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. He was the tallest of them and was practically ignoring his friend Sam. Sam had light blonde locks that fell onto his freckled face, a green camp shirt, cargo shorts, and black shoes. “Hey, guys!” Amber declared. Carina widened her eyes and waved. “I am SOOO excited for kicking off this year!” She gasped. “Yeah!” Kayla agreed with a nod. Jack shook his head to get out of his trance as Sam growled at him. “I guess so.” Jack said with a little shrug. Carina narrowed her eyes at him. “Just because you’re not enthusiastic about all the church activities...” She replied, cocking her hips and arching her hand at him. “Actually, no one is but you.” Sam replied. “Ooh!” Janie laughed, approaching. “Alright, guys!” called one of the leaders, picking up his guitar. “Find a seat, but don’t sit and let’s sing!” Amber eagerly followed her friends to their seats. “This is what I live for!” Janie screamed, extending her arms. Suddenly, Amber heard a voice. “God, I wish Grant would love me.” It said in a sing-song tone. She widened her eyes. Her thoughts didn’t sound like that and Grant was a junior! She whipped around, trying to see if anyone just randomly decided to spill their secrets to her. No one was there. Amber stopped dead and just glared over her shoulder. “Dude, what’s the problem?” Jack asked, grabbing her arm and pulling her toward the rest of the group without even getting an explanation from her. As the music started, she heard a male voice. “I LOVE this song!” Glaring around, she didn’t see Sam or Jack anywhere near her, they were on the end of the row, clapping. Again, Amber looked over her shoulder but there was no one in the rows behind them. “Are you okay?” Kayla asked, looking over at her. “Yeah. I think I’m having daydreams or something.” Amber laughed, rapping her fingers on her skull. Inside, she didn’t have a clue what was happening. Suddenly, three voices at once collided in her head, their words entangling eachother. Amber’s eyes widened again. This was really abnormal. Then, ten more voices collided. They kept coming, in larger combinations, and wouldn’t stop. Amber slapped her hands over her ears and looked straight down at the plaid carpet. “What are you doing?” Carina whined, tugging at Amber’s hands. “Sing!” Amber moved her lips, pretending to look regular. The voices kept coming and coming, but now there were so many that she couldn’t understand the words at all. As the song ended, she heard more voices over the clapping. Moaning, Amber looked down again, wondering if she was going insane from a headache. “Dude, seriously!” Sam gasped at her, looking past the other few. “Do you guys hear any voices?” She asked them. “Like, hundreds and hundreds all at once? And you can’t make out any words, at all?” Sam shook his head. “Where’d you get that?” Jack asked, tugging on the brim of his fedora. “No way.” Janie said with a shrug. “No.” Kayla said softly, shaking her head. “Uh, no. That’s really crazy.” Carina said with a nod of her head. Amber stopped and took a deep breath. She found a moment of peace before the voices came back. This time, they were bouncing all over her head; she could even feel them hitting the walls of her skull. She then let out a bloodcurdling scream.


Pretty good, right?
