The Forgotten Storyteller

Chapter 6: The Crash

Lily's POV
We all woke up around 10. I took a shower, then Mai, then Skyler, then Celia, and Hunter and Finn took showers in the other 2 bathrooms. I made some sandwiches and we all sat down at the table to eat. I'm happy Celia has feelings now, I'm just scared about her plan.

"So, how did everyone sleep?" I ask. "Good." They all respond. After that, we eat in silence. While I'm doing the dishes, I feel Celia using her powers outside to drop cement on a mouse. The hate she felt and her powers coming out, I felt all of it. I drop the plate on the floor, shattering it. I stand there, frozen. Hunter runs in.
"Lily! Are you okay?" He asks. They others run into the room. I shrivel onto the floor. It all goes black.

Hunter's POV
I catch Lily before she hits the floor.
"She passed out!" I scream. Celia helps me carry her to her bedroom. Her eyes flutter open. "What happened?" She asks. We all sigh in relief.
"You passed out while doing the dishes." Mai tells her. "Oh, now I remember." Lily says.
"Let's all head over to our house." Celia suggests. I grab her phone, purse, and all the stuff she'll need to stay over night. Skyler grabs her clothes. Celia climbs onto Lily's motorcycle and starts to drive to the house. The rest of us get in our cars and follow.

When we get there, we all relax in the house for a little while. Skyler, Mai, and Finn decide to go home, to get ready for the party tonight. Me, Celia, and Lily decide to get ready as well. Celia and Lily squeal and run off to do each other's make-up. I go get ready, as well. I put on a grey t-shirt, a black hoodie,and skinny jeans. Then, since I have time to kill, I throw a ball up and down. Then I hear screaming. I look away from the ball, causing it to hover in the air. I walk outside, causing the ball to drop.

Lily's POV
Celia goes to her dad, who calls her from the living room. I head to my room and I decide to read Celia's mind while I change. She changed her school scores so her dad would get mad at her. Oh, she's starting her plan. I change into a light purple dress with black roses on it, my leather jacket, and black, high-knee socks. I smile at myself in the mirror. I put in red lipstick and brush my long, brown hair. Next, thing I know, I hear screaming.

I walk out of the room and I look downstairs. Hunter must've heard it too, because he came next to me. We see Celia and her dad yelling at each other about Yale, and her not being able to carry on family tradition. Hunter and I walk downstairs. We join in the yelling.

"Enough!" We yell in sync, letting the anger get to us. We cause an earthquake. I cling onto Celia. After a few seconds, it stops.
"Was that an earthquake?" Celia asks. I read her mind. She thinks Hunter did it. Truth is, we both did it. We nod, answering her question. Their dad grounds Celia, and I look at her.
"I'm sorry." I mouth to her. "It's okay. It's not your fault." She mouths back. Celia and her dad continue the yelling, and I notice Hunter walk out the door. I quickly follow. He gets in the car and slams the door. He's mad that he let some power out. I approach the car and I knock on the window. He lets me in and calls Skyler.

"Hey. I'm gonna pick you up now." He tells her. She says okay, and we drive to her house in silence. We pick her and Mai up and they sit in back. Hunter blasts 'Criminal' through the speakers.
"Turn the music up a little louder, babe. I don't think anyone can hear it." Sky says sarcastically. Hunter ignores her.
"Is Finn gonna meet us there?" Mai asks. Hunter doesn't answer. He's thinking.
"Hunter? Are you alright?" She asks.
"Sorry, what was the question?" Hunter asks, snapping back into reality.
"Here's a question, what's with you?" Sky asks. "Nothing, I'm fine." He replies.

Sky and Mai start whispering.
"He's been acting like this a lot lately." Sky tells Mai.
"Like what?" She asks.
"Like he's not telling us something." Skyler replies. Hunter and I look through the mirror at the exact same time. If only they knew...
