The Curse Of Five

Chapter 15

Once again the witch turned her down.

Micheal 

I have noticed that when I first showed up,Hazel stopped her crimes and went cold turkey,but now slowly and slowly her true self is starting to show and I knew it wouldn't take long. She sleeps the whole time we are on the plane from New york to Oregon.She is leaning on the window. I dont wake her up though she needed the sleep especially after all the wine she drank yesterday on the plane.While she does that I listen to her thoughts as she dreams.

She is dreaming about me and others like us. In fact a whole world like us. She envisions gale as a waitress with her hair in a long braid tied behind her back. She is holding two circular tin trays. She uses her powers to hand a dish and a drink to Amber who Has short bleach blond hair. By short I mean short short like a fairie.  They are both tall and slender. Amber freezes her drink right in public  to make it into a slushy.  

On the dance floor people float in the air and dance. I am dancing with Hazel. "I'm glad I found you Hazel." I tell her as we slow dance. She giggles. "Ya I think I'm the one who found you."  She is dressed in a navy blue,satin cocktail dress. The only thing that doesn't make sense is where is Katherine. Maybe lack of conversation of her has made what she thinks she loo- Just then an elephant wearing beautiful brightly colored jewels and blankets on her back and head . The blankets are brightly dyed  with tassels like the ones at the ends of ropes  on stage curtains. There is a voice. "Attention! Attention! Please buckle your seatbelts and prepare for landing!" 

 I wake up into reality and wake up Hazel."Hazel wake up." I gently shake her. She makes a grunting, growling,gurgling noise. "Wake up.We're landing." She sits up and falls back asleep. I shake her again "I'm awake." She says quickly.Her voice full of surprise."uh hu,Sure you are get up and drink this." I hand her a cup of ice water I took from the flight attendant.  She takes the glass and takes a sip.

The plane finally enters the air port. We descend the steps and grab our luggage. Once we leave the Arlington Municipal Airport we stand outside. We just stand there,wondering what to do. Hazel asks me something I didn't think about. "What are the odds we will find a taxi around here?" Just then a transportation van pulls up. The driver opens the door. "Where you want to go?" The woman asks. " Jordan road,house number 6387" I tell her. 

She drives us there and we pay her 30 American dollars. I knock on the door. A woman answers. "Hello? who are you?" She asks. "Hello I am Michael and this is Hazel my sister. We were just looking for gale." Hazel smiles."Are you friends of hers?" She asks. I will presume that this is her mother. "She's not home now do you want me to leave a message for her?" Her mother smiles down on us. 

"Actually it's kinda important do you know where she might be?"  Hazel asks her. Just as the mother starts to shake her head a say no a head bobs in the background."I know."  A little boy says. "I can take you to her if you'd like." He says.His mother looks between him and us. "Okay,I guess it's fine but take your phone with you." He smiles at his mom and runs to the table here his phone sits.

As soon as we close the door to leave though the boys smile fades away into sadness. "Whats wrong?" Amber crouches down in front of him so shes at his level."Why are you looking for my sister?"He demands. "Before we go any further let me ask you this,Do you know about her?" I ask the boy."You mean what she can do? Ya I know." The boy says. "But until you tell me if you plan to beat her up over it or not I'm not taking you anywhere." He adds.Sharpening his tone.

"Okay then,I am Hazel Gale doesn't know who we are yet but,like her we have gifts too. I possess the gift to bring to life anything I draw." At the mentioning of Hazel's powers his mouth drops and his eyes widen. "I am Michael. I can mind read.Are you okay?" I introduce myself. "Ya no it's just things are starting to make sense now. One time I was at a sinkhole about to die and Gale drew a bridge to save me.When she took control of her powers though they weren't what she had done back then.I now realise she somehow borrowed your power!" He smiles. "I can't wait for Amber to hear this,she really needs some good news. Come on follow me.I'm Ryan by the way and I don't have a gift." He adds on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We follow him for a long time until we reach 2 girls sitting next to a wall of thorns in the middle of the woods. Wait no I take it back one is rolled up on her side. The snow around her hands is red and the sounds of her sobs fill the air. "Woah..." I sigh. This feels like a movie. Then she turns around. Instantly I know it's her.She looks to have kept her cool,which is good. She stand up."Who are these ryan." I tell her everything,about the letters,about our powers,even how Hazel and I met.

 "Woah more super naturals cool. We could use more of you right about now." She tells us about amber and how she locked herself away. Ryan takes it in his hand to tell gale though about the drawing thing. "Amber!" Gale yells "Open up it's rude to keep all 5 of your guests waiting in the cold." She slowly moves away the thorns. The girl laying on the floor is the first to get up the rest follow her into the biome.
