Prologue
Screams echoed through the campus. The sky turned dark. On the third floor of Winston Academy, Mr. Gray's room, something strange was occurring.
The class was studying Ancient Egypt, and Mr. Gray's brother was an archeologist who happened to be working there. He had sent a stone tablet he discovered that had a few meaningless hieroglyphics to Mr. Gray's class, helping them understand more about the Egyptians. They day had ended, all the teachers had gone to parent-teacher conferences at the local library, and the students had returned to their dorms. Even the two supervisors, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Jones, had left to go buy more supplies. They had placed the rest of the kids under the supervision of the two most responsible seniors, Chad Evans and Kaitlyn Peterson.
Adam Heinz, possibly the most ill-behaved student ever, had taken advantage of the supervisors absence and sneaked into Mr. Gray's room in attempt to steal something of value. He came across the tablet, and curiously reached for it, wondering what it was. The second he made contact, a wave of energy erupted from it, enveloping the entire academy. All hell broke loose.
One Week Later
All of the students had been hospitalized, recovering from comas one by one. The doctors had found that an unrecognizable form of radiation had affected every child in a strange way. Each and everyone of them had a supernatural ability, a "side-affect of the radiation," as the doctors had told the press.
Strangely enough, the tablet had disappeared, too.
