”BURP!” Brian burped loudly. “Brian!” my mother cried sharply. “Sorry, mum,” Brian said with a shrug,” I’ll try not to burp next time.” “Ha!”I exclaimed,” That’s what you said last time.” I swallowed my last mouthful of mashed potato. Pushing my plate away I stood up and told my family,” I’m going to my room.” Kiel started to cry and my mother had to go and comfort him. Before my mother could object I dashed up the stairs to my room. I closed the and locked the door behind me. I sat at my table and opened the drawer. I pulled out egg and sat examining it for a few minutes then I got out the piece of paper. I didn’t actually believe what the paper said but I wanted to try it. Just to be sure.

That night before I went to bed I set my alarm clock to midnight and then I fell asleep.  I bolted from sleep when my alarm clock rang. I was surprised to see that it was still dark. I looked at my clock and saw that it was exactly 12:00. Then I remembered why. I  got up from bed and went over to my desk and took out the egg. It was bright with a rainbow color. I got out the letter to and looked at the poem. Then I sat at my desk and read:

“It is dark but it is time for birth

Of a new creature in this world

Tonight it will hatch

A dragon in this world”

All of a sudden a small crack appeared in the egg. Then a small red claw appeared. It started to chip away small segments of the shell. Then the whole dragon appeared. It was so small and it was red. It’s eyes were a brilliant blue. Like sapphires. I thought it the most beautiful creature. The dragon looked at me and I felt a moment of triumph like I had just won a gold medal. The dragon curled up on my desk and closed it’s eyes. I knew I should let it sleep but my finger didn’t listen. I reached out my finger  and stroked the little beast. It’s eyes opened and it stared at me. All of a sudden it was gone! I looked at the spot it had been laying on and then I felt a weight on my shoulder.I looked and saw the dragon perched on my shoulder. I laughed it looked like I had just made friends with it. I was going to stroke it again when it bit me. “Ow!” I cried. More surprised than hurt. The beast’s teeth had felt like sharp needles on my skin. I was sure it had drawn blood. But when I looked at my finger it had a small mark instead. I took the dragon off my shoulder and I saw that it was as small as my palm. I took one of my pillows and set it on my desk. Then I laid the dragon the pillow and it turned in a circle before settling down. It yawned and I thought that it looked really cute. I got into my own bed and thought that I was glad it was a Friday. Tomorrow she would see if this J.D person had left instructions of how to take care of a dragon.

 ”Look, Bea,” I said as I bent over a injured kitten. Bea peared over my shoulder. “It’s so tiny and it’s hurt,”she squealed. I picked up the little creature and told my friend,” I think we should take it to your parents. They might know what to do.” Beatrice Scantan’s parents were vets and often had stray animals come to their home. “And if it doesn’t have a home Mom might let me have it. Then I’d share it with you!” Bea cried getting excited. I smiled as we walked farther from school and closer to Bea’s house. I never had a pet before because my mother is allergic to fur. Knowing of this Bea had promised that when she got a pet she would share it with me. Soon we reached Bea’s house. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 3:55. Mom would wonder where I was. “Here, Bea, you take the kitten and call me and tell me how she is, okay? I have to go home,” I said and handed her the kitten. “Sure, Jen,” she said.

As I entered my house my mother called from the kitchen,” Don’t step on Kiel!” He’s playing on the floor.” Why did my mother think that I’d step on my baby brother? Didn’t she think that since I was fourteen now I wouldn’t step on him like I steped on Brian. I was only 8 and Brian was only 3 but no matter how many times I tell her that she still thinks that I’ll step on Kiel. I truged up the staires to my room. When I opened the door my eyes caught something shiny on my bed. I walked over to it thinking it was one of Brian’s tricks. But as I neared I saw It was  round ball withe letter next to it. Slowly, I opened the letter and read it.

Dear Jenna,

I know you my think this stupid and ridiculous but I tell the truth and nothing else. The round object is not a ball it is a dragon’s egg. Yes it is true. But I didn’t chose you to hatch it. It did. It wanted you to be the Hatcher.

Sincerely,

J.D

P.S. Here’s how to hatch it:

1. Keep it warm until midnight

2. Repeat this poem:

It is dark but it is time for birth

Of a new creature in this world

Tonight it will hatch

A dragon in this world

Good luck with your hatching!

Jenna laughed out loud. What? Did this J.D person think she was a fool? Laughing she put down the letter and picked up the so called “egg”. It felt warm in her hand it was a rainbow color. She tucked the egg in a emptey wooden box and placed in her desk. She would look at it closely later.

I grew up in a small town. No internet. No phone. No computers. No nothing. This place I called the ‘Dark Side Of Texas’. And when I left four years ago at the age of 12, I didn’t know I was called normal. Average. Neutral. It all was boring I just wanted more.

And the weirdest this is, thats exactly what I got.                 I’ve made my share of colorful mistakes and said my share of curse words but never in my life have I ever met anyone as annoying as…………………

“ARI”! I screamed as he snuck into my room. “Shut up, Isabella”! He said in a whisper. “Get out. Now. Or I’ll tell my Dad to bring up his shotgun”! I yelled. “Shut up, Isabella. You’re gonna get me killed one of the days”,Ari laughed. Ari is my on again off again boyfriend. And we like to annoy without warning and so he brings me a burglar joke? “Ari Marcustos! Get out of my room right now”! I half yelled. “Isabella Neriale David! Come on, lets hit ditch”! Ari laughed. “No, this is not right”, I yelled. Ari laughed then said, “Neriale. You are no longer an average teenager you are a Musad assasin for Israeli”. “And”? I asked. “Dobbs assigned us a mission. And that mission is to capture the president of the united states son Chad. We must do it before sun down tomorrow or Israeli will take no mercy on our souls”, Ari said. “Ari, I cannot leave without my brother”, I said honestly. “Then you shall die”, Ari said climbing out of my window. I jumped out of my window and said, “You always use the killing card”. “It always works”, Ari laughed. Ari watched as a mysterious girl passes by with her hair in a ponytail and a braid. I walked over to her and said, “Miss do you know where I might find Sir Chad Mcdillyns the third”? “Eh, yes”, The woman said in a country accent. “Tell me”, I said sweetly. She looked at me then said, “Hotel Broadworth room 614 password: 22448963″. I smiled then said, “God bless you”. She sped up her walk and Ari and I ran to the hotel. We followed her directions and I held my gun close to my skin just in case. Ari held his gun out and punched in the code. We walked inside and I heard voices whisper, “We have assasins intruding our country, Chad. They seem to want you so I’m putting you under high security till you learn to take care of yourself”. “Fine”, Chad said. “Good, now I am exiting the building”, The voice said. He almost left the building and then he saw us. Chad saw us too and he watched closely. I let my hair down lightly and the guy who was talking to Chad came at me. “Ari! Keep watch”, I yelled. Ari did as I said and The big guy walked ever closer to me. “Put the gun down and we can fist fight”, He hissed. I put my gun in my back pocket and he swung at me. I ducked and pushed him down. I pinned him down then said, “How does it feel to be pinned down by a woman? Or shall I say, a teenager”? “Your good but not good enough”, The guy said pulling my gun from my back pocket. I snatched it from him and said, “Fight me like a man”. He punched me in the stomach and I pretened to be hurt. “Gotcha”, I said standing back up and kicking him in the face. He flew backwards and I knew he had lost all consciousness. Somebody shot me in the shoulder and I fell to the ground. “I want him for myself, I changed my mind”, Ari laughed aiming the gun at my stomach. “Ari”? I asked. “Yes”? He asked. I put my hand on the gun I had in my pocket and slipped it out. I raised it up and said, “Shalom”. I shot him in the stomach and he fell down. I put away my gun and took Chad with me to Paris, France. I took him to a shack by the eifell tower and said, “Chad tell me about your new weapons system”. “No”, Chad said. “Tell me the password to your fathers safe”, I ordered. “It’s my birthday”, Chad said boredly. “Oh, what is the encrypted CD called ‘Sphynx’”? I asked. “A secret angency undercover in the Musad area. They are recording every move people make there. And they are smuggling your weapons from under your very noses”, Chad said. “I’ve never heard of this agency. Why do such a thing”? I asked. “Power, glory, land, gold. The more they steal the more power they have over your country. The more they are praised for it by my Father the big guy. Soon we will get your land and defeat all who come in between us and power. And the more they steal the more the big guy pays”, Chad said. “What is mission QB-6″? I asked shakily. “It is this mission we have to find this girl name Isabella David A.K.A Our secret weapon. She is our only way into the depths of the Israeli Musad officers. And she is our super secret agent because she doesn’t know it herself”, Chad said. “I’m Isabella call me Isa”, I said holding out my right hand. “I am Chad”, Chad said with a short smile. TOO BE CONTINUED……….

                           ALWAYS  THERE                                               

Always there for me
Never gone for long
Gives me the things I need
Takes care of me all day long!
{For my mom! Who never fails to be there for me!!!} 

Our red caravan pulled into the dirt driveway of my new home. “We’re here! Isn’t wonderful!” exclaimed my mom. Wonderful wasn’t the word for it; a permanent desaster was more like it. The house had two-stories and was mustard yellow. the paint was peeling off the green porch, one of the windows had a long crack through it, and shingles were missing from the roof. Yep, that was my mother’s idea of “wonderful”. I said nothing and just climbed out of the van. the moving poeple had come and gone yesterday, so when we stepped foot in the house it was already furnished. “It’s getting late, i’m turning in for the night.” i told my mom, but the real reason was that i needed to think over some things. My room was on the second floor and i noted that it was infested with ants, spiders and flies. i sighed, pulling my matress out of the room and lying down in the hallway. at lease the bugs were locked in. i stared at the ceiling unhappilly. i had a decision to make. Was i going to go live with my strict, paranoid and annoying dad, with my old friends and bedroom, or was i going to stay with my mom that i liked so much more, and have no bedroom and start from scratch for my friendships? Both had downsides and plus sides, but it….

The lady looked at me with a look of disgust then said, “Let me help you”. “No, I have no need of your help”, I heard myself say. ”Fine, let me do this the hard way! I’m going to kill you if you don’t come with me”, The fake Sarah said. “Ha, I find that funny”, I said starting into a run. She kept up easily then said, “Fine be like that”. She tackled me and help a gun to my head. “You are a real dummy aren’t you”? I heard ny voice say sarcastically. Her gun melted and she punched me in the face. I picked her up off of me and said, “Look into my eyes”. “I know your tricks, Jennifer”, The fake Sarah laughed. I put a finger to her juglar vein and pressed down. I looked into her eyes and she turned into a puff of smoke. “Apparently not”, I heard myself laugh. Thats when I saw Danni looking straight at me. He walked over to me and the clock striked 1:00 pm. I fell to my knees and the changing process reversed and I screamed and hollered as I bacame myself again. I stood up weakly and Danni was suddenly infront of me. “I’m sorry, Jen. I truly am”, Danni said. “Who are you”? I asked with a sly smile. “Come on, please. Jenny”, Danni said grabbing my wrist. All of a sudden I dug my phone out my pocket and turned it on. It vibrated and I got a text:

Gavin: I broke off the wedding meet me at Hannah’s Bugers.

I looked at my phone in amazement and text back:

Jen: No, get back with her you two belong together.

Five seconds later I got a message:

Gavin: We broke up because she doesn’t love me. She likes  Timothy.

I looked at my phone like it were fire and text back:

Jen: Why do you need me?

This took a minute and then I got a small text:

Gavin: I need a shoulder or two to lean on. And by the way my brothers looking for you. I told him you’d be out jogging by the ‘big clock’. Are you mad?

I took a deep breath then said to myself, “I’m going to kill him”. “Gavin”? Danni asked. I ignored him and text back quickly.

Jen: I hate you let me show you how much I hate you infront of the ’big clock’. Meet me there in about oh lets say…now.

I took a second to think and I suddenly got a really short text:

Gavin: Ok

Gavin pulled up in a red car beside the ‘big clock’ and Danni stared at the ground. “Danni, you had your chance to tick me off many times and I never let you have it. This time I might just let it flow”, I said ruffling my hair. “Jen, Can we talk please”? Danni asked. “2:00 pm, my house. Don’t be late”, I said. He smiled and then he was gone out of sight. Gavin walked over to me and I suddenly knew in a terrifying heartbeat that I didn’t like Gavin that much. “Will you marry me”? Gavin asked getting on one knee and pulling out a big ring. I was taken aback by the question and Gavin looked up at me hopefully. “Why”? I asked. “Because I love you”, Gavin said softly. “This is the place we first met I should have known”, I said looking down at him. Gavin smiled then said, “Will you? Jenny? I have always liked you but it took me a while to figure out that I love you”, Gavin said. “I’m only sixteen”, I said sadly. “Marry me”? Gavin asked pleadingly. “Come on, you can’t be serious! I’m not your type”, I said throwing my hands in the air. “Just answer the question”, Gavin said. I took a breath then said, “I can’t. I’m too young, my Mom wouldn’t allow it, she’d kill you, and I just…….I like you and all but…..I don’t love you”. Gavin stood up and I could smell his pain and heartbreak. He kissed my cheek then said, “I’ll always love you. No matter what happens or who you date or marry. I love you”. I felt tears come to my eyes and I said, “Oh! Gavin, your making me cry”! I hugged him tightly and said, “Call me whenever you want I’ll always answer for you”. I ran to my house and got there at exactly 2:00 pm. Danni sat on my porch and when he saw me he stood up and said, “Whats wrong”? “G-Gavin p-p-proposed t-to me and I said no! And he said he loved me and I said I didn’t love him and he almost cried. Ah, God! I hurt him so bad”, I cried. Danni pulled me into a hug and said, “He’ll get over it”. “No he wont”, I said madly. Danni pulled away then said, “What would you say if I proposed”? “I don’t know why are you asking”? I asked. “No reason! Sit down”, Danni ordered. We sat down and he touched my cheek with the back of his hand. I looked at him curiously then said, “Can I test you”? “Sure, what do you want to ask”? He asked. I smiled then said, “Nonverbal”. I gave him a peck on the lips and he looked at me confused. I smiled then he said, “I’m going to fail”. He pulled me closer and kissed me for a minute. I couldn’t breathe and then he stopped and I could breathe again. “When we first met and I asked you all those questions were you for real about all the other girls”? I asked breathlessly. “No, not at all”, Danni said looking me in the eye. “What do you think that test was about”? I asked. “That wasn’t a test. You like me”, Danni smiled after he kissed my cheek. “Okay, maybe I do”, I laughed. “I like you, too”, Danni said flatly. “I know I sort of got the picture when you wouldn’t stop calling”, I laughed. “Oh, well I don’t know how to use a cell phone”, Danni lied. “Liar”, I said running my fingers through his hair. “Want to know what I love about you”? He asked. “What”? I asked. “You ask questions and you’re not afraid of the answers. And you’re you”! Danni smiled. “Well, I like everything about you except the fact that you’re not that open with people”, I said. Danni leaned down and kissed my cheek again and said, “Do you think Timothy or Gavin will be mad about us”? “Who”? I smiled slyly. “Nobody”, Danni said with a smile.  (THIS IS THE LAST PART I AM SORRY IF YOU WANT ME TO KEEP GOING GIVE ME A GOOD REASON AND I WILL. )

Here’s my firt joke.

Will you remember me tomorrow?

Yes

Will you remember me next month?

Yes

Okay! {pause} Knock! Knock!

Who’s there?

See you forgot me already!

Here’s a riddle.

I love eating fish.

I lay aggs but I have fur.

I have webed feet but I’m not a duck.

What am I?

Hmmm?

Please leave your answers!!!

I looked him directly in the eye and said, “You Jerk”. Tears flowed down my cheeks and Danni grabbed my wrist. “I’m sorry I was testing if you liked Gavin. And I was seeing how strong you are”, Danni said. “And how’s that supposed to help me? What good does that do”? I asked wiping a single tear off my cheek. “Because when you get a test you figure out how good you are. And in a test there a questions or actions, you showed me both”, Danni said. “You are a real Jerk Head! I wish I had never met you”, I said walking away. Danni let go of my hands and said, “Jenny”? I kept walking and I suddenly knew I had a new power. I could smell his pain, hurt, and confusion. But I didn’t look back……..except once and he looked really hurt. “Jen”? He asked his voice filled with pain and hurt. I turned back around and walked towards my house. “Jennifer”? He asked loudly as I grew farther appart from him. Tears flowed down my cheeks and I ran inside my house. I ran upstairs and burried my face in a small pillow. My cellphone rang and I answeredwith a muffled, “H-Hello”? “Please, don’t hang up. I’m-”, He didn’t get to finish because I already hung up. My phone rang all night while I was asleep and I finally turned it off. When I woke up in the morning I walked outside and went for a jog. I jogged around the block and the lake next to my house. Thats when I fell down screaming. A young lady in here twenties ran over to me and said, “Are you alright”? I covered my face and she started to yell, “Somebody help her”! I sobbed and sobbed as I changed into a Sage. Thats when the change happened and I had no control over my body. The lady looked down at me then said, “Y-you’re a Sage? My sister? I am the last Sage but apparently not”! I stood up and kept on jogging but she caught up easily. “I can help you, you know. I can help you control your powers”, The lady smiled. “No thanks, Ma’am. I have a trainer”, I heard myself say in a mature voice. Want flashed in her eyes and I could smell it in the air as she stopped me. “Let me take care of this trainer you have”, She ordered. “What is your name”? I heard myself ask. “Sarah Sotah”, She lied. I could smell the lie before she said it but I felt myself smile. “Sarah, I have to say. If you weren’t an innocent I’d make you turn into a pile of ash”, I promised.  TOO BE CONTINUED…….

SORRY THIS IS SO SHORT I’LL FINISH IT LATER!      

I looked at the gun pointed at my head and saw it was a 9-millimeter. The person holding the gun was what I found to be astonishing. “Hey Jenny, lets talk”, Gavin said with a crooked smile. “Why”? I asked. “Because if we don’t talk then i’ll probably shoot you. I wont kill you because i’m not a murderer”, Gavin said slowly. “Gavin, come on. You can’t be serious! Are you still mad about the milkshake thing”? I asked. “No, but now that you bring it up yes! That shirt was my favorite”! Gavin said bored. “Come on, Gav. Put the gun down and we can talk about this”, I said after he aimed. Gavin put the gun down and I gave him a small hug. “You always knew how to make an intrance”, I laughed. Gavin was my old crush, ex-best friend, and really old friend. He’s known me since I was a baby. Danni pulled me over to him territorially and Gavin grinned brighter. “Danni! Are you dating Jen”? Gavin asked with a mega smile. “No, we’re not dating! Not at all, ew! Are you insane”? I sputtered. “Same old Jenny”, Gavin laughed. He put the gun away then said, “I need your help with something”. “What”? I asked curiously. “Becka and I are dating now and we’re engaged. Have any tips for the honeymoon”? Gavin asked talking about his longtime GF. My smile faded and tears itched the back of my eyes. I still liked Gavin a whole lot. The only reason we never went out was because I spilled my milkshake on his new shirt in Middle School. “You should take her to Paris”, I said wiping some of my tears. “Our Paris? No way”! Gavin said in astonishment. “Fine, take her to Greece”, I said hiding my pain. “Oh, that sounds good. I want to surprise her”, Gavin smiled. Want flooded my veins and emotion took over. “I was wondering. I don’t have anybody I’ve none as long as you for my best man and you’re a girl. I just wanted to know if you’d be my best man or whatever”, Gavin said. I busted out laughing and he joined in with me. “Yeah, of course”, I said laughing which disguised the pain. “So, when is the wedding”? I asked. “This weekend”, Gavin said nodding. “What do I wear”? I asked. “Clothes, but if you don’t want to i’ll be happy with your choice”, Gavin laughed. “Not going to happen”, I said flatly. Gavin gave me a hug then said, “Whatever”. Gavin looked over beside Danni and said, “Well, look what the cat dragged in”. “Gavin”, Timmy spat. “Timothy”, Gavin said darkly. “You should have waited your turn to talk to Jennifer”, Timmy said curtly. “You should have died in the car reck nut no my brother did instead”, Gavin said pulling me closer. “Don’t touch her”, Timmy said threateningly. “Or what? You’ll sooth me into not touching her”? Gavin said twisting into a pshico grin. ”Look, you guys no need for violence”, I said suddenly. Gavin pulled me towards him even closer than before. “Remember you’re still engaged”, Timmy laughed. Gavin looked down at me then said, “Do I have permission to punch your boyfriend light out”? “He’s not my boyfriend”! I said angrily. “Thats my girl! I’ll call you later I have some business to atend to”, Gavin said. “SEE! This is why I never hung around you while Tim was around! You always have stuff to do to HIM”, I said pushing away from him. Gavin looked at me then promised, “I’ll call you”. “See My Girlfriend doesn’t like you! She never has, Gavin”, Timmy said harshly. “She says she’s not your GF and who says she doesn’t like me or ever has? I don’t like her I have a fiance but dang, you really are getting on my nerves”, Gavin said approaching Timmy. Timmy launched himself at Gavin and I instinctively yelled, “Gavin”! Gavin punched and kicked Timmy over and over until Timmy stopped fighting. Danni picked me up and took me out of Waffle House. He put me on his shoulders and I kicked and screamed like crazy. He ran me to my house then said, “Tell your Mom we’ll be training at my house”. I walked inside and yelled, “Mama! I’m going over to Danni’s to train”! “Ok”, My Mom yelled back. Danni and I walked a few streets and then we came across a mansion. He took me up into his game room and a football game was on the T.V. so I sat down on the leather sofa. Danni sat beside me then said, “I have some questions that need answers”. “Ask them”, I said. “Do you like Timothy”? He asked. “No”, I said flatly. “Do you have any idea how many powers a Sage has”? Danni asked. “No, I’ve never heard of them till today”, I said truthfully. “Well, don’t tell anybody you are a Sage. Because Jen when you tell, that secret is no longer safe. And if you tell it to the wrong person theres no telling what can happen”, Danni said. “I don’t understand”, I said honestly. “Back in the 1800′s if a Sorceress was about to tell a secret the Sage’s would warn her secrets are powerful. Sage’s are the things that kill Sorceresses, Jenny. And the fact that you are both means something out there has been ordered or created to kill you. You can not tell anyone your secret because secrets are like cellphone signals. You can track them as long as the phone is on”, Danni said. “Oh, so I have to keep my mouth shut”, I said. “Yes”, Danni explained. “My lips are sealed”, I said with a smile. Danni put his arm behind me but non-flirtatiously so that I didn’t think wrong. I stared at the T.V. then said, “I hope Gavin’s okay”. Danni’s muscles tensed and he took his arm back and faced me. “Gavin and I are related”, Danni laughed. “Cool, I didn’t know that”, I said. “He’s my brother”, Danni said softly. “Oh”, I said softly. “I would have warned you about the wedding if I would have none you back when he proposed”, Danni said softly. “What are you talking about”? I asked. “Jennifer, I can smell emotions well at least most of them. I felt your pain when he talked about the proposal”, Danni said seriously. “It wasn’t my pain it must’ve been Tim’s. He’s already had a thing for Becka and he still does”, I said. “Us vampires have several powers. Let me demonstrate”, Danni said. He put my finger to his cheek then said, “Lift your hand slowly and look into your hand”. I looked into my hand and I saw a woman with curly black hair and hazel eyes. “It’s my mother. I can show you pictures, memories, feelings”, Danni said making a fist. He took a piece of my hair and put it in his palm. It melted into his palm and I saw a vision in his hand. It was of my expression when Gavin spoke to me, the feeling, the smell I gave off, It showed everything. The vision faded and I looked at the floor. “I don’t like Gavin”, I said lightly. Danni stared at me then out of nowhere kissed my lips in question. I couldn’t resist him at the moment he was just so there. But I didn’t like him and I decided to play with his mind. But I knew he was just testing me for something else I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I looked at him for a second then bit my lower lip. I saw his expression and knew it was some kind of test. I stopped biting my lower lip and pulled him closer not undercontrol of my body. I could feel his breath on my cheek and I heard a door slam downstairs. I looked at Danni in alarm and he said in a testy voice, “It’s okay it’s just Gavin”. I took a deep breath then I started to kiss him. He barely kissed back so I tried to pull away but my body didn’t want to. Gavin walked into the room and I pulled away so fast I made Danni look slow. I posed as if I were watching T.V. but I knew Gavin had saw us. He stared at me a long time and his breathing was wrong. He looked at Danni and his expression turned to pure hate. “Just watching T.V.”, I said innocently. “What’s the score”? Gavin asked looking at the T.V. with fake interest. “Um, uh, ten to twelve”, I said. “Wrong I was listening to the game on the radio as I was coming home”, Gavin said furiously. “Sorry, I-I made a mistake w-we all do”, I said. “But innocent people don’t make h-u-g-e mistakes”, Gavin said seeing through me. “What did I do”? I asked. Gavin walked to his room and slammed the door. I stood up and knocked on his door. “Leave me alone”! Gavin yelled. “Gavin, I’m sorry. I don’t know what I did but I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being alive! I truly am”, I said sinking down his door. “I hate you! Leave me alone”! Gavin yelled. “Come on, Gav. Please with a trip to Paris on top”, I said. Gavin opened his door and walked out of his room. “You look awful”, he said. ”I know”, I laughed. He slapped me and I slapped him back. “You are a real Jerk for kissing my brother”! Gavin yelled. I nodded understandably. “I should hate you”, Gavin said then he added, “But I can’t”. “I’m glad. I’m going to go home now i’m of no use here”, I smiled. He leaned against the doorfeame then said, “You’de be my first choice”. “What”? I asked. “If Becka hadn’t told me about her feelings then I would have asked you”, Gavin laughed. “Haha, very funny jokes over”, I said. I headed towars the front door to leave when Danni was suddenly beside me. I fastened my pace and left the house in my wake. Danni ran after me then said, “Jennifer you like him”. “No, I don’t. He’s my best friend”, I yelled. “I was testing you”, Danni yelled. My anger bubbled inside of me and I turned bright red. TOO BE CONTINUED……….

“You are going to be just fine, little pixie man,” I told him, and gently picked him up, cradling him. He wiggled a bit and pulled a face, so I poked him,hard, in the stomach.

“Okay, okay! Fine! Let’s go already!” He complained, folding his frail arms grumpily.

I giggled nervously. “Which way?”

He pointed North, and we headed off. He wasn’t much of a talker, except when he was whining of complaining about something, like the snow being too cold or too white to look at and it hurts my overly sensitive eyes, blinding me for all eternity which I am going to blame you for you little witch who throws rocks at people OH what has the world COME to???

A sudden thought struck my head. “Hey, why am I even GOING with you? How do you know me?” I said. The man just sighed, and told me to keep walking, or else. I sighed as well, purely out of annoyance. How irritating.

Soon, we came across to a river, and i put down the pixie. He was really hurting my arms!

“Okay, do you want a drink, or what?” I said grouchily, and bent over the river to splash my face. The man gasped, and yanked my hand back.

“YOU CRAZY GIRL!!!” He screamed, “DON’T YOU KNOW ITS POS-” The mans voice stopped when he looked at the back mark, spreading all up my arm.

“What the HECK is that???” I panicked, and tried to rub it off. The pixie slapped my hand away, and examined it closely.

“Yup, it’s Poison alright. We should better hurry to the Queen, before its too late…” He muttered to himself,  “Does it hurt?”

I shook my head, scared. “Is it really poison? I’m gonna die? SHOULD it hurt? Are YOU going to die?” I paused, then added, “Who is the Queen?”

The man prodded my arm, in which I screamed loudly, “That hurt!”

He stared into my eyes, looking… Sad? “Then i’m afraid its too late.” He whispered.

I stared back at him in horror. “For what?” I whispered back, my heart beating fast.

“Everything.“

When Ziva laughed Bianco fell in love with her musical laughter like he usually fell in love with a football. Ziva was my night mare. I had to do something soon. When I heard him sing…..

“Ziva my diva the star in my sky the one I know not to lie. For I love you so my Ziva oh Ziva”, Bianco sang. I almost died listening to him sing this petty song to her at the beach. I almost went suicidal but then I decided I was worth more than Ziva deep down.

I didn’t know what to think watching Danni walk away from me alone on my porch. So I decided to sleep on it and thats exactly what I did. IN THE MORNING………

I woke up late about ten fifty-five in the morning. My cell phone rang and I answered it with a soft, “Hello”? “Hey, it’s Tim. I’ll be there in five get dressed”, Timmy said softly. “Timmy”! I yelled into the phone. The line went dead and there was a knock on the front door. I slipped on a shirt and some fade jeans and walked to the door. “Who is it”? I asked. “Danni”, Danni said softly. I opened the door and walked outside immediately. “He’ll be here in five”, I said boredly. “I know”, Danni said with a smile. “Of course you do”, I said sarcastically. “He’s here”, Danni said pointing to Timmy’s car pulling up. We got into Timmy’s car and he pulled out of the driveway. “Where are we going”? I asked. “Waffle house”, Timmy said. “Oh, whatever”, I said closing my eyes. We pulled up at Waffle House and he opened my door. I got out quickly and walked inside without a single word. We sat at a table in the back and I ordered pancakes. I ate slowly and Timmy ordered Iced tea. Danni said not a word and I still felt his gaze on my side. I stopped eating and pushed away the plate and said in a businesslike voice, “Tim, what is going on”? “I just wanted to take you to lunch with your new BFF”, Timmy said unconvincingly. “Tim”? I asked my temper rising. “I wanted Danni to do me a favor and I wanted to talk to you alone face to face for a minute. No interruptions at all”, Timmy said. “Talk to Danni before me you should save the worst for last”, I said narrowing my eyes. Timmy pulled Danni to the side and I could hear a sliver of their conversation. “-Over you”, Danni said. “Well, then you really are a jerk”,Timmy said madly. “I can’t help you with that”, Danni laughed. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, very funny”, Timmy said madly. “You really need my help? Then do exactly what I say when I say it”, Danni said seriously. “WHAT”? Timmy asked confused. “Just do what I say when you talk to her”, Danni whispered. “Fine”, Timmy said confused. They both joined me again and Timmy looked at me expectantly. “What”? I asked. “Okay, Jenny you are beautiful. Your hair, your eyes, everything, the way you talk. I can’t help but wonder if we can try ‘us’ over again. And if we can I swear I’ll be better”, Timmy said softly. “I’ve heard that before”, I said dozing off. “I want to be with you forever. Like Andy and your Mom except we don’t fall appart. I want to be with you”, Timmy said closing his eyes no magic involved. “Why”? I asked confused. “Your sweet, beautiful, nice, creative, young, crazy, funny, hard to say no to, and way out of my league”, Timmy laughed. “Tim, I don’t”-, I was interrupted. “Please don’t say no”, Timmy begged. “No”, I said standing up. “I thought you were ‘The one’ I thought we’d be perfect together. But I guess I was wrong you’re just a silly little girl who never says ‘yes’! And now I see who you truly are”, Timmy said angrily. “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might just get what you need”, I said with a smile. “You are unbelievable! You believe you’re always right! Well, I gues I do know one thing you are no Sandra Slevick”! Timmy yelled. All of a sudden I was bright red and staring at him furiously. I slapped him and almost made it out of Waffle House when he grabbed me wrist. He pulled me near him his full power breathtaking. I tried to breathe but there was no air to breathe in. Timmy looked me in the eyes and I felt his trap set and I knew I was a goner. He put a strand of my hair behind my ear and kissed my cheek. I didn’t even protest I just watched as he stared down at me. I felt a surge of power run through my veins and I snapped back into reality. His hands were in my pockets and he pulled me closer. I pulled away and walked to the restroom quickly. I locked the stall door and pain ran through my veins as I scratched at my face. It felt like my face was burning off slowly and painfully just to make me hurt. I screamed hard and long and held my face in pain. I looked down at my hands and the skin started to bubble. My head burned, itched, seared, and ached so I screamed over and over groaning and moaning in pain. The pain suddenly stopped and I ran to the restroom mirror quickly. I didn’t look like myself at all my hair was fire red, my skin was tan, my eyes were pure fire, and I looked about twenty-one. I put on my sunglasses and walked out of the restroom. “Jenny”? Danni asked at the restroom door. “I’ve never heard that name before”, I lied in a totally grown up voice. “Jen, Seriously if this is you please tell me”, Danni said running his fingers through my firey hair. “Yes, It’s me”! I admitted. “You were screaming”, Danni said. “Because of the change. It hurt worse than cutting off all your skin”, I said pain shuddering in my throat. “Why did you change? What happened”? Danni asked. “I don’t know”, I said truthfully. Thats when someone walked into the Waffle House. He wore a biker jacket and leather pants with a dog collar. My sunglasses melted and fell to the floor. “Ah, crap. Fire bringer”? Danni asked. “My Mom is a Fire Bringer”, I said. “Dang, a sorceress plus a Fire Bringer equals a JADE. A JADE is a thing that is human at night but changes in the morning. The JADE is the most powerful thing after The Sorceress. Jenny, you are the most powerful thing in Gladys”, Danni said in all seriousness. “Jenny”? Danni asked. My eyes closed shut and I tasted fear in the room fear of me. I could taste murder, anger, and carelessness on the tip of my tongue. When I opened my eyes I lost control of this body. I walked toward the biker jacket guy and he pulled out a gun. He aimed it at me and shot over and over and over. I stood straight and no blood left me. My fire hair died for a second and my eyes closed. Then I opened my eyes abd twisted my head to one side. “Got you”, I said my fire hair buning again. My head erupted into flame and his gun melted and I held up a finger and said, “You ticked me off”. I picked him up by his shirt and said, “Look into my eyes”. The guy looked into my eyes and instantly turned into ash. The clock striked twelve and I fell to the ground screaming. My hair stopped burning, my eyes stopped flaming, and I changed back. Timmy and Danni walked over to me scared and I screamed harder. Thats when the pain stopped and I tried to stand up. Thats when somebody pulled put a gun and aimed it at my head. TOO BE CONTINUED……………………
