“You did good baby boy,”I said throwing up a treat to him,”Go back to Ryan and Mickel alright. I’ll call you when I need you.”
He gave his weird howl and went on his way. I unfroze time and went to began up the mountain. I looked back and saw they were following me. We were almost there when the twins stopped climbing with us. I turned to see that they were looking down at the ground as if in shame. What is up with these two lately?
“Come on,”I said motioning them to follow,”We got to keep on going.”
“Maybe we can skip this one,”Maria said,”I’m not feeling good on meeting him.”
“What is wrong with the two of you,”I said in disbelief of them,”You two loved the fire guardian and now you don’t want to meet him. Is there something mentally wrong with you two?”
“We just don’t want to do that right now,”Mason said with a shrug,”It is just ify right now.”
“Or it could be me,”I heard someone say from behind me.
I turned around and saw a tall man with red hair like the twins and brown almost black eyes. I hugged him as he gave me a laugh. I pulled away clearly shocked at what he said. It makes no sense to me that they were like this because of him.
“Hello father,”Maria said and I had to do a double take.
“Maria, Mason,”Greg said looking at them,”Why are you here?”
“Alicia brought us here,”Mason said,”I know we don’t have it but maybe we can work something out.”
“Wait,”I said still a little confuse on this,”I need a minute to process this....You are telling me that you are their father....Then they didn’t tell me after I was reviled to everyone.”
“The law,”Mason said taking his hands out of his pockets,”You should know that one pretty well.”
“Yeah I was accused of breaking it,”I said looking at them,”Why have I never met you before the Mangs took my home.”
“We lost something and had to get it back,”Maria said looking down,”It was the key to the room of everything.”
“I can see why now,”I said looking in awe.
The room of everything was a secret room that could be anything you want it to be. It is lock because if someone gets in it the room will do anything they wish for. My dad hide our key in a place that only we would know about. If they lost their key then who knows what could happen.
“Where did you lose it at?”I asked still confused as heck about that.
“We don’t know,”They said together.
I looked at them then saw something sparkle on Maria’s charm bracelet. I looked closer and saw it was the shape of a key and had a flame on it. She told me her father gave it to her when she was little and she never took it off. The key was on her wrist the whole time.
“Yes I put it there,”Greg said,”I wanted them to help you on this. I found it the day you disappeared.”
I rolled my eyes and walked over to them. I gave Maria my are-you-stupid look and held her wrist up. Her eyes got huge and I heard Mason say the F-word. I looked at him as he turned a deep red color.
“That wasn’t there when we started this mission,”She said taking it off,”I thought it was just a key charm that he sent to me in the mail.”
“Ask your father,”I said walking up the mountain.
Plan for WhatIt was about three in the morning and I could hear the sound of the twins talking right outside my door. I got up slowly and walked over to the door. I cracked it open and peered out to see them standing there with their father.
“You have to continue with her,”Greg said with an ordering tone.
“We know but how are we supposed to help her when we don’t even know what we are up against,”Mason said looking around to see if anyone was wake.
“Also I don’t have any powers,”Maria continued,”How am I supposed to help out. I can barely even fight off a crazed football player.”
“Figure something out soon or she can lose everything,”Greg said opening my door,”Also we got to talk somewhere were she can’t hear us.”
“Hello,”I waved to them with a smile,”So what you doin?”
“I bet you know,”Mason said with a smile.
“Little old me,”I said acting like a child,”I don’t know.”
“Yes you do,”Maria said watching me.
“No I didn’t hear you talk about me,”I said and dashed out of the room.
I heard laughter as I turned the corner. As I did I hit something or should I say someone. We went tumbling and when we landed I was on buttom. I looked up and saw that it was Luke and he had me pinned down. I gave a blush as he got off of me and helped me up.
We both gave a weak smile and walked toward the dining hall. We had to get some type of a plan before tomorrow. I was going there that day to get my home and family back. But it will honestly be harder than I know possible.
“So what are we going to do?”Luke asked.
“Go there and that is all I got,”I said honestly.
“We got to do something about it,”Mickey said.
“How about we just go up there and battle them for it,”Minnie said,”That should work.”
“Rule number 18 You can not attack a human unless they attack you first,”I recited.
“How about we get the twins to make fire rain down on them then go and get it all,”Katey said.
“Rule number 23 You can not use powers of another to fix your problem,”I recited again.
“This sucks doesn’t it?”Luke asked us.
“Yes,”Maria, Mason, and I all said together.
I looked around and remembered something my dad told me when I was younger. It was going to be a wild card but it might work. I tuned out the ideas as it was on replay in my mind. He only did this once but it might be my only shot.
It was dark outside as it was only five in the morning. The two of us were standing on the hill side as the sun came up. He turned to me and for the first time ever I heard him sing. The world seemed to freeze and everyone seemed to stop and listen. He was singing the song he used to calm me down. I swayed to it as he continued with it.
“Don’t worry about the world,
Leave that to another day,
Just stay with us for the night,
Let the world deal with it all.
No one will run you over,
No one can push you down,
You are in charge of your life,
You are the strongest child the world can’t touch,”He sanged for the world to hear it.
I let the words go over in my head and just enjoyed hearing his voice in my head. It was peaceful and life seemed to make sense to me at that moment. I closed my eyes to see his face there looking at me with his smile.
“Put a flower up on the wall,
Let it shine for everyone you love,
Lie down on the river banks,
Stay for a while in my arms.
No one will run you over,
No one can push you down,
You are in charge of your life,
You are the strongest child the world can’t touch.
Sing this when you are lost,
Sing it when you need hope,
Sing it when you are upset and all alone.
Stay with us my beautiful little girl,”I finished it as every one stared at me.
“You can sing,”Minnie said surprise.
“Why didn’t you tell us?”Katey asked.
“I thought we were your Best Friends Forever and ever,”Mickey said.
“It never came up,”I said trying to play it off.
I looked at the twins and they gave me a nod. I knew what I was going to do and this time I will win and not stop till I do. We packed our things and trained the whole day but it was mostly the others. I went to get my father’s and mother’s old song books. I was going to beat them even if it is the last thing I do. I will honor my father’s last battle to protect us all. I will prove to everyone he was right to believe in me.
Waiting for Her to Rescue me~~~Marcus~~~
I watched out the window at the clouds that were forming around the city. I guess one of the others were mad at someone here but who. The thunder rolled and lightning flashed by a little house by the railroad tracks. That poor family that has to deal with that. I looked at a picture of my sister smiling and being her stupid self.
She was all alone and I couldn’t help her this time or the last one. The room started to play a mellow and sad tune from some kind of instrument that I can’t recall. I looked at the picture and brought it close to me as tears ran down my checks.
“I miss you Li-Li,”I said using her old nickname,”I really want you here with me.”
“There’s magic in us all,”Her little voice played in my head,”Daddy said we just got to find it.”
“I wish it was that easy,”I said still upset.
“You can my son,”I heard dad’s voice say right in front of me,”You just did some.”
I looked up and saw my father and almost dropped the picture. He was like a vision of some sorts. He held himself up proud like Alicia but had the same hint of worriness I have had since I lost Alicia. He had her same smile that I hardly ever saw anymore.
“I told you to just look for it,”Little Alicia said smiling behind him,”This is how we talk when you are upset.”
“It’s small but there,”Dad said sitting by me,”I had this talk with Alicia so it is only a memory and that’s why it is only the two of us.”
I nodded as they left and Jasper walked into my room. I place the picture back where it belongs and turned to him. He looked at me and turned around as he laughed at me. I watched him leave but I didn’t stop him. I felt little Alicia look at me with her hands on her hips as if she was talking to Clark or Mickel.
