Defying Nature [ON HOLD]

Chapter 10

Sun followed Samuel down the hall, "Tooth Fairy?" She looked up at him. "I thought the Tooth Fairy was your parents when you were little."

"So you say they don't exist?"

"They? Uh ya. They don't exist."

"Says the girl who can summon the sun." Samuel didn't say another word.

"Okay geez! Sorry. Just tell me where we're going."

Samuel turned a corner and turned to Sun, "We're here." He opened a heavy wooden door and it seemed like the world had exploded. Colors seeped through the doorway and into Sun, surrounding her. Laughter filled the air and Sun's ears. She couldn't see anything, do anything but listen and watch the colors float in front of her face.

Sun stood there, dazed. The colors became brighter, the laughter louder. The next thing she knew, she was lying on a bench, the colors and laughter fading.

"Wha-- What happened?" She sat up and put a hand on her head.

"You fell under her spell. I had to put you to sleep."

"What? Who? How?" Sun stuttered.

"Mother was in there. I didn't know you were so easy." He muttered the last part to himself.

"What?"

"It will be easier to explain if you see for yourself." They got up and Samuel led Sun down the hallway back to the heavy wooden doors and he opened them. There weren't any colors or sounds by instead light filled the room from a big window on the far wall, framing the woman under it.

She had short dirty blond hair with pink flowers on one side. Her dress was floor length and had an ocean print. The light seemed to bounce off of her and light up the room.

The room was huge with gadgets and machines Sun had never seen before.

"Welcome to Training Room 7a." The woman said, her voice sounded like a summers day. Sweet and warm.

Sun looked around, "What is this?"

"This is where you will train." Samuel said.

"To become a Legend." The woman added.

"Aren't I already a Legend though?" Sun asked.

"Just a small one. You need people to believe in you to become a real Legend." The woman replied.

"Okay..."

"I'm Mother by the way. Mother Nature."

"What? Really?"

"Yes, really Elena. I can tell you don't believe in me."

Sun stood there. How could she have known? "What? How?" Then she turned to Samuel, "Does that mean your a legend too?"

Mother Nature smiled and Samuel sighed, "Yes I am. Can you guess which though?"

Sun stated at Sam and thought. "Well," she started slowly, "Your Samuel M. Nyite, the Tooth Fairy calls you Sandy..." She trailed off and thought some more, "You put me to sleep..." Then she gasped, "YOU'RE SANDMAN!"

They both smiled, "Hey, good job."

"Yes!"

Just then, a cloud of gray dust swirled past Sun, making her cough. The thing bumped into her slamming her into the ground.

"Hey! Watch it!" Her palms turned hot as she got up.

"Sorry." The cloud of gray sneered. "Didn't see you there, wear something brighter next time I thought you were a practice dummy!"

Sun fumed. She took a step toward The tornado and Samuel pushed her back. The cloud stepped toward her but Mother had to hold it back. Just as she touched the cloud, however, the dust went away and there stood a teenage boy trying to get a hold of Sun.

He had messy dark hair, his bangs almost covering his deep brown eyes. He had a blood red t-shirt under a menacing leather jacket. His black jeans had skulls hanging from the belt loops, the mouths smiling creepily. He had combat boots as black as night to complete the look.

"Let go!" Both teenagers yelled at Mother and Sandman but the two held fast to them. The kids looks at each other when someone said, "Don't wear jeans and a gray sweatshirt next time you're in here."

Sun jumped and Sandman looked down at her. The voice seemed to come from her mind, it seemed close yet far.

"How did you do that?" She said aloud to the boy.

"The name's Fear" He said in her mind.

"Stop!" Sun glared at him. His bottomless brown eyes piercing her golden ones.

"What's happening?" A small voice asked. A pop of light appeared and the teens stop trying to get at each other. The adults stopped holding them back and they fell into each other, looking at the ball of light above them.

"Ow!"

The light wandered down to the ground and grew into a girl, it was Molly. She had a curly high ponytail, nerd glasses, a pink monster face shirt, checkerboard suspenders, faded skinny jeans, and checkerboard Converse. "What are you two doing?!" She demanded, standing over Sun and the boy.

They got up and Sun studied Molly closer. She looked different: a little taller, her lips fuller, nose shorter, eyes bigger, hair blond as opposed to brown earlier.

"What happened?" Molly demanded again.

"Well this loser came through the doors while I was training and I totally wiped her out. Now she's mad." fear sneered looking at Sun. "Sorry."

"There's no way she's going to believe that." Sun looked at Fear then at Molly. "You don't believe that. Right?"

Molly looked back and forth at the teens. "Actually, I don't care. I need you, Elena. I'm supposed to show you around." She looked at Sandman and Mother Nature, "I can, right?"

"Who said you could?" Sandman asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Luna Moon."

"That's not his name."

"I know. He let me though." Molly grinned, flashing a pair of pink braces.

"If it was okay with him." Sandman sighed.

Fear and Sun got off the ground and Sun followed Molly out of the room. As they left the boy yelled down the hall to the girls, "WHAT KIND OF A NAME IS SUN DROP? IT SOUNDS LIKE A SODA FLAVOR!"

Molly smiled, un-phased but Sun looked back to see Fear's evil grin and she knew something had begun.
