Chapter 1: Decisions

‘Vi? Could come in here for a minute?’ Helen asked as she opened the door to the studyroom. Violet could already see her dad sitting in a chair by the window with a letter in his hand.
She stepped inside and Hele closed the door.
The studyroom was a large room on the side of the house with a polished wooden floor and large windows that loked out into the garden where Violet could see Dash and Jackjack playing together.
Dash seemed very busy with controlling his little brother who had seemed to have turned into a deep shade of purple and where large bubbles were being blown out of his ears.
Even tough the family knew Jackjack had powers, none of them seemed to have lasted long and sofar his body didn’t seem to be able to make up what superpowers the little kid would be having for the rest of his life.
For a moment Violet giggled about the sight and her mom seemed to have noticed.
‘I am glad we got such a great new house to live in after that jet blew our old one up almost a year ago.
Violet had to agree their new home was lying a little bit outside the city and had was spacious in all ways. Large light rooms with large windows everywhere and Violet liked that in comparison with their old home, where there were little windows to make sure people outside wouldn’t see anything suspicious if any superpowers would be used inside the house.
The garden was enourmous to say at least and on all sides it was blocked out of sight of passing cars by a large hedgerow.
It was a perfect home for a family of superhero’s with childs who were growing up and who were still trying to get a good grasp of everything they know.
‘Vi we want to talk to you about something.’ Her dads voice suddenly seemed to come out of the air, she had been dreaming off again and was suddenly pulled back into reality.
‘Is something wrong?’ Violet asked.
‘If this is about that vase that was broken last week I can explain, Dash was…’
‘No this isn’t about the vase Vi, Dash already apologised for it.’ Helen said.
‘Please come and sit with us because this is something important.’ Bob said as he pionted to a chair against his own.
‘Vi I know the summervacation has just started but there is something we want to talk to you about for when the next schoolyear is starting.’
‘Why what’s wrong?’ Violet asked with a bit of fear in her voice. Last year she was attending at Municiberg South High and even tough she didn’t have a lot of friends there, she liked the place and her grades were good.
‘Oh nothing is wrong, but we just recieved a letter and we want to you think about a offer you are made.’
Helen said as she walked up to Bob’s chair and stood next to it, she took his hand and they both loked at Violet sitting right against them.
‘What offer?’ Vi asked with a bit of suspicion in her voice.
‘You have been offered a scholarship at the W.U.S.H.T.’ Bob said.
‘WUSHT? What is that for a name? It sounds like some odd dissease or something.’ Violet said. In all her life she had never heared of a school called WUSHT.
‘Well, that is because not a lot of people ever have heared about it. It is a school only for supers. W.U.S.H.T. stands for Western United Super Hero Training. It is the same school where your father and I have studied when we were your age.’ Helen said as she looked at Bob with a little smile.
‘We have a lot of good memmorries to that school, it is where we first met.’
‘But enough about us. The thing is, they have a spot open for you and we want you to decide what to do. You can stay at your current school and study there and your mom and I will teach you everything we know about being a superhero. Or you can go to W.U.S.H.T. and learn more about being a super then we can show you.’ Bob said as he handed Violet the letter.
‘Read it and also look at the brochure.’ He said while he pointed at a brochure that was lying on the desk in the corner.
‘Take your time to decide, your application form, if you decide to go off course, must be send in before the last week of the vacation. So that still gives you six weeks to decide about what you want to do.’
Violet stood up and walked out of the room with the letter and borchure in her hand.
She walked to her room and once inside she closed the door and sat on her bed and started to read…
