DISCLAIMER: If I owned GONE, Caine and Brianna would have survived, so clearly I don't own GONE.

Hey :) Oswin here, I've decided to attempt an SYOC as my first story, as it seems like a fun thing to do and the plot bunnies for this story keep attacking me. I know, I know, these things hardly ever get to the story and are usually just abandonned, but I promise I won't abandon this! So, without further ado, THE STORY! *Dramatic music*

Zoe slouched back into her chair, her eyes glazed over with boredom as the teachers voice droned through the lab.

"Ugh, when will it end?" she groaned in a hushed whisper, leaning back further so that her best friend Jake (who was sitting on the bench behind her since an incident involoing potassium and an Ofsted inspector had lead to them being forbidden from sitting together) could hear.

"Zo, we've been in here for five minutes, you know that right?" Jake said, not even looking up from the paper on which he was dilligantly taking notes.

"...Yep, totally. Definatly knew that" She lied, staring at the clock in bewilderment. Was she going mad, or had it said 10:55 rather then 10:35 the last time she looked? "It's just that time goes slower when you're bored out of your mind".

"Sure it does" Jake sighed as he started to write out an equation.

"You are such a nerd" She said.

"Thank you" Jake smirked, as always taking it as a compliment.

"You're not welcome" Zoe snarked and rolled her eyes. While Jake was even lazier then her in most subjects (and that was saying something), he was damn near obsessed with chemistry. Which, while good for him, meant a lesson of pure boredom for Zoe.

"Wake me when it's over" she sighed, slumping onto her desk. The equations on the board blurred and warped before her dyslexic eyes, and she mentally cursed Dr Brown for having such crappy handwriting. Resigned to her fate of complete and utter boredom, Zoe sighed heavily rested her head on the desk.

Wait, what the hell?!

Zoe's head snapped up as she stared at the front of the classroom. No way, that was just not possible.

Dr Brown had vanished. And it wasn't like he'd just walked out of the classroom either. Where he had stood just a split second ago, a shattered beaker of chemicals smoked as it began eating into the plastic of the whiteboard pen he had been holding. He was gone.

Zoe looked around the classroom, just to check she wasn't going crazy, but nope, everyone else had seen it too.

Silence hung over the classroom for a few seconds, and then the room descended into chaos.

Voices blurred together in the commotion as kids tried to wrsp their minds around what just happened. Among others Zoe saw Melody Saxon staring at her hands with a look of horror as if she'd just murdered someone, Connor Aderton rushing out of the classroom to check that Dr Brown wasn't outside and Paige Sanford shouting over the lot of them to try and restore some sort of order.

"Okay please tell me you have some sort of sciency-wiency explaination for all of this" Zoe said, her voice full of panic.

"I-I have no idea" Jake said, his eyes wide in shock. Zoe could almost see the gears turning in his head as he tried to find some sort of scientific explaination for what was happening.

But Zoe knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to explain this. She may not have paid attention in school, but even she knew that people didn't just dissapear. Whatever was happening, science couldn't explain it. The world was changing before her eyes. Normal wasn't an option any more. Whatever happened next, Zoe knew that it would be far from simple.

Hope you liked the prologue :) now for the info stuff. The story takes place in a fictional town called Skybrook situated on the coast of England. It is a small, holiday town with a population of about 200 kids. Near to the town, Sanford Institute, a youth detention center for young offenders. The town is a popular tourist spot, especially in the summer, which is when this story is set.

I want creative, origional characters for this story but I do have a few rules.

1. For the love of daleks NO MARY SUES

2. You can submit as many characters as you like, but for every two characters with powers you make you must submit one normal character. (No getting out of this, even I'm doing it)

3. Young offenders must be over 10 years old.

4. You have to reveiw. If you submit a character then don't reveiw at all, don't expect your character to live very long.

5. On that note, no flaming me if I kill off your character. It's the FAYZ, people die.

6. No four bars, at all.
