Sitting on my sofa beside one of the windows in my room, a lone amber light shined from a small table lamp and it cast shadows around me. I have never been afraid of the dark. I think it's one of the things my clan is known for - boldness.
We are a formidable group of people with special abilities who have existed on planet earth for more than a millennia. You may wonder how no one knew about us because we are not in any history books.
We are not any different from a normal human being physiologically but mentally we are far different. We are higher. We possess a higher intelligence quotient than any average human being due to our special abilities. The only downside to our clan is we don't easily reproduce as the humans do.
The human race is a curious one and this made us hide in plain sight because we have become an endangered species. We live in a world where if we were discovered to have special abilities and the power to do certain extraordinary things, humans would call us 'freaks'. In fact, they have.
A few of us had been captured over the centuries. They were isolated and became lab rats for the world government scientists until the Handlers (our intelligence operatives) were sent by our Head to raid the lab, permanently silencing those captured and destroying all evidence so that they would not be traced back to us. We became more secretive and extremely careful.
This has been my clan's dilemma and fear for the past centuries after the government became aware of us. So we hide who we are in plain sight. We mingle. We interact and act normal. People believe we are normal, like humans but we know we are not. We are not abnormal but extra-normal.
We are unique. Our head and matriarch, Inahan Elena, does all she can to protect us. Inahan Elena is a staff on the world government payroll — our eyes, ears and representative in the world government sector. She and the council of leaders take the preservation of our clan on planet earth seriously…
Then the UNBELIEVABLE happened!
To be continued… Stay tuned.
