"Thanks Heather," said Janavia as she brushed off remnents of the blob off her shoulder. "but you could have helped earlier you know,"
"I know," Heather said smugly trotting away.
What am i going to do with her
Janavia shook her head at Heathers retreating form and then turned to assess the damage the blob had left.
----------------------------------------------------later that night----------------------------------------------------------------The night was quiet; too quiet for their home. They housed 'special' or powered folks and those who had lost their homes and family, mostly children. We had sent them all to an aquaintance of a friends ever since the government attacked the school earlier this day.
All was peaceful and Janavia liked it this way. Nice and quiet.
"JANAVIA!!!!!!!" screamed Emi from across the house.
Well it used to be.
Janavia went up three flights of stairs. Yes three. We had to bunk a bunch of people during crises's. Janavia stepped into Emi's room. "What is it?"
"Look at this!" she said turning up the volume on the tv set.
"Two women broke into Charleston Middle School-"
"Hey thats the school that the kids go to and where the blob appeared," Janavia said softly.
"-killing ten students and one teacher. We asked the president about this and here he is now," said the newswoman.
The screen went black for a second then President Petite appeared on the screen.
"I am here to assure these culprits will be caught. We know them from previous scuffles with terroist countries. We know that they are what we call Arcanes or humans with supernatural abilities. We had deported them a few years back but it seems that they have returned. Here are a list of arcanes that have been documented and some of whom are the culprits for this terrible deed against our nation."
Janavia and Emi gasped as they saw the names pop up on the screen. They read, Janvia Williams, Ashlee Salgero, Emi Slack, Heather Thomson, Ash Hollow, Hali Taming, Caitlin Styles, Amber Schmit, Hunter Bailey, Briana Howard, Marie Wallace, Bree Gardner, Karen Carter, Victoria Hollow, Toshi Levon, and Joanna Louis.
After the names scrolled through the newswoman popped back on the screen.
"What do you have to say for yourself," demanded an angry voice behind them. Janavia turned to see Ashlee standing behind them. She laughed nervously. "...sorry?" she smiled wryly. '
"You got the police and the governments involved in one evening!!! who knows what will happen next?" Ashlee spat angrily.
"Can I go back to the blob? Yah, I think I'll just go to the blob." Janavia said turning to leave.
"No, get back here," Ashlee said grabbing Janavia. "We need to talk about what you've done."
"What did I do again," said Janavia playing stupid.
Ashlee ignored her. "WHy did you tell them, the humans about the government?!" She was now screaming. "Why did they get killed!"
"I dunno, anyway I didnt kill them and they neded to know what was happening in their own land. they needed to protect themselves find hope in themselves. And who knew that it woyld be cut so short," she sighed to herself.
"Dont ou get it?! We are supposed to keep them alice and safe, without being seen I might ad. If they find us they will kick us out or kill us."
"We have just as much right to this land as they do!" Janavia screamed back. "I understand that much. we fought for this land just as they did. Of course we dont completely like each others ways but-"
"Both of you shut up!!!!!" yelled Emi.
She had been quiet through this whole exchange and they had forgotten that she was there. "You both have your own ideals and are intitled your opinions but we have a bigger issue to fix."
Ashlee took a deep beath, visibly relaxing. "Emi's right....we need to fix this first. The only way for us to stay on this land is by keeping our "ties" with the humans wihtout being see.
"True," agreed Janavia. "everyone just try not to be seen by the humans. then no others should be harmed."
"Says you," snorted Ashlee.
"Woah, woah people, all you ave to do is hide your Arcane symbol," stated Brianna coming up from behind them. Arcanes are born with marking on their body like a tattoo telling from which family they belong and helps mark how much their power has grown. The bigger the tatto the more powerful the Arcane.
"How long have you been listening?" asked Janavia suspiciously.
"For a while," shrugged Brianna.
"But she's right. The government will look for the marks."
"Now that that's settled, we're having a meetin once Marie and Ash get back," said Emi said leaving the room.
