The Halloween Prank

Gold

          As soon as Chaos came out, I knew what she was thinking. She was thinking about what powers she might have, her father, and how to tell us. Who am I? My name is Gold and I'm thirteen years old, with curly golden quills down my back. My mother is Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. The power I have is telepathy, which means I can read minds and talk to others in my head. I'm smart, but deadly with a blade.

My powers are better than everyone else's, I can use my knowledge as a weapon. It works, Chaos, on the other hand is hard to read, all of her unknown powers that she might not be ready to control. Catching my Spessartite eyes, she went for a smile, a weak, fake smile.

"Let's get ready for our midday activities, we still have the rest of the day to plan." Chaos said, trying to lighten the mood.

We all raced back to the house, with Summer and Spring in the lead. They both grabbed the back porch, still wet with paint, slipped, and fell over laughing like crazy. Covered with stars and stripes, the twins gave everyone a hug, with paint on our clothes, we all ended up looking like a starry night with shooting stars.

After we got all cleaned up, Chaos, Nova, Galaxy, Winter, Fall, Void, and I started chasing after Summer and Spring. When we caught them Void got the water hose and Nova got the liquid soap. Winter, Fall, Galaxy, and Chaos held the sisters down while I quickly got the hairbrushes and hair dryers.

"Let me go! Come on, guys! You had your fun!" Summer shouted with gleeful cheer.

"Wait, what is the soap and water... Ohno! No, you're not going to do that!" Spring hollered, still struggling against Winter's icy grip and Chaos's firm upper hand.

"We can, and we will! It's the only way to get you all cleaned up." We started shouting, louder than either one of them.

Everyone ended up drenched with cold water and soap. Then finally the twins were blasted with water again, no one could stop laughing, not even after Summer and Spring brushed their thick quills.

"Ow, ow, ow! I can't stop laughing, or crying." Chaos breathed, tears streaming down her face.

These were the old days, no worries, no problems. Pretty soon everyone was laughing like loonatics, laughing their heads off. What we all need to know is what is troubling Chaos. No matter the consequences.

"Chaos," Galaxy said, speaking in her sweet 'what's it to you' voice. "What's eating at you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"You sure? You look upset."

"I'm fine! Just leave me ALONE!" Chaos shouted.

Yeah, there was something wrong with her. I tried to read her emotions, to find out why she's acting like this but Chaos held fast and bottled up her emotions like holding back the sea. The wind started churning, the air smelled salty, Chaos's quills flew madly dancing with the wind. Then only one thought escaped, a hurricane.

"Go, everyone, get in the attic, NOW!" she yelled, gritting her teeth in frustration.

Are you trying to hold back the storm until everyone's safely inside. I thought, trying desperately to connect with her, to speak mind to mind.
