Secrets

Chapter Eleven

"Hello sir." Says Parker.

"Why, greetings! Oh my, this must be Jayson." Said the man.

"Hello..." Says Jayson, quietly.

"Speak up Jayson! This is the richest man in town!" Says Parker.

"Yes, I am. My name is Mr. Joelton." Answered the man.

"What do you want with me?" Yells Jane.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Who is it?" Yelled Mr. Joelton, cranky.

"It's your special guest." Said a butler.

"Nikki!"

"No, sir. Janice."

"Who's Janice! I probably mixed up names."

"I think you did. She already knows Jayson, so I let her in."

"Oh gosh. That's good and bad. Is she alone?"

"Yes, sir. I left her in the lobby."

"WHAT? Bring her to me! She could be an intruder!"

"She looks and acts rich, but yes sir." The butler ran out of the room, and left Jayson forced on a chair by Parker.

"Hey butler! What's up? Ow, hey! Forceful!" The old guy grabbed my shoulders and pushed me upstairs. He grabbed a key out of his pocket and unlocked a door. On the other side was... Jayson! Jayson? Oh no. This won't end well.

"Sir. This is your 'special guest.'" Said the butler, softly.

"Anna!" Yelled Jayson. My eyes widened, and mine weren't the only ones.

"Anna... Stashia. Anastasia! That's her name, right?"

"Anna?" Said Parker, looking in my eyes. I stepped back.

"It's the helper! She's with Jane, get her!" Yelled Parker. Jane lifted 3 fingers and swiped them. Then Mr. Joelton, Parker, Kaitlyn, and the butler shut their eyes and shook their heads at the same time. What happened?

"Hey, Parker. Is that Janice?" Jayson said, with a smirk.

"Ugh. When did she get in here?" Parker said confused. "And YOU didn't ask for permission to speak!" Then Jayson had a insanely painful face as Parker twisted his stomach.

"Easy, Parker! You don't want to kill him!" Mr. Joelton snapped at the boy.

"Kill him?" I repeated.

"Wait, Janice. If you are the 'special guest', you should know what Parker's doing." He told me.

Parker moved close to me, again. "Anna? It's Anna! Get her, she's with Jayson!" He charged to me, then Jayson waved his hand again. Everyone closed their eyes, then shook their heads together.

"Parker has powers to read minds, twist stomachs giving pain, and stuff. Shh." Jane whispered to me. "I'm also erasing their memories for about one minute. Shh!" He whispered again. Then everyone got into focus.

"Umm, hello." Said Parker, still standing in front of me.

"Hi?" I responded.

"Parker, back away from the guest. Don't be rude." Said Mr. Joelton.

"Umm, excuse me, Mr. Joelton? What do we do with the guest?" The butler asked him.

"Well. We ask her what her power is!" He said. Oh no! I'm a "special guest", meaning I'm just another rich kid with powers? Jayson, if you can hear me, help me! I'll say that I can control items, and you do the magic! Then Jayson nodded his head, luckily Parker wasn't paying attention.

"Well, Mr. Joelton! My power is to totally control awesome items! Ya know, like doors and throw money without my hands!" I said, perky again. Jayson chuckled a tiny bit.

"I'll open this totes adorbs door." I looked at Jayson, then looked at the door. I swung my fingers, and the door opened. Thanks, Jayson! Mr. Joelton looked impressed, then asked:

"Demonstrate the money thing you said earlier." I took the roll of fake cash out of my pocket. Jayson looked surprised, as if he thought I robbed a bank. Which I obviously didn't. I looked at Jayson again, and I put the $100 bill on the palm of my hand. I swiped my fingers and the bill flew across the room like a paper airplane. Jayson must be increasing, because I didn't know his powers could do that.

"Impressive, Mrs. Janice." Mr. Joelton said, actually very impressed! I made an awkward "cute girl" smile to add to my rich girl act. I know rich girls aren't moody and perky, but I want them to think I'm weird because of my powers. Now, time to get Jayson out of here.
