Now you Don't(Daniel Atlas)

Chapter 1: Me

Alina's Pov

Hi my name is Alina Lau. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana. I've been living here since I was 5 years old which was the same year I started learning magic. Magic inspired me. It made me feel like I could do something no one else could do. Later I found out that others can do it, you just need to learn to be the best. I live with my roommate, sister and best friend Pilar Werner. She supports me in everything. Right now we are heading to a small park near our apartment where I love to perform. When we arrive I see my spot empty and people sitting around it, waiting for me to arrive. I love my fans. Anyway lets get back to the present. "Hello everyone." I said as I stood up on the wooden box I put there at my first magic show. I performed a couple of card tricks mostly easy ones that people have already seen. Then when it started to get late that's when I do my biggest tricks.

"Alright everyone, now if you have a water bottle raise it up in the air." I yelled. Six people raised their water bottles in the air. Pilar looked at me and winked. I smiled back at her and turned back to the audience. "Now uncap the bottles but keep holding them up, on to another topic, does anyone have a birthday today?" I asked and looked around. A little girl in the very front raised her hand. " Hi sweety, whats your name, and how old are you turning?" I asked her getting on my knees in front of her. " My name is Rylan and I'm turning 6 years old." I smiled at her and nodded while standing up. " Ok Rylan, for my next trick I am going to make you a special birthday present out of water!" The audience cheered. I took in a deep breath and concentrated. I could hear the audience gasp as the water flowed out of the open water bottles into my open hands and forming into a  wet orb. Rylan's eyes went wide as she watched me shape the orb into a small little puppy. " Now Rylan what I want you to do is pop that puppy." She looked at me then at the puppy. She slowly walked towards the bubble and popped it. Then out of the bubble sat a small little brown puppy. Rylan squealed with delight and picked it up. The audience cheered and put money into the small bag that I brought with me.

  As Pilar and I were packing up Rylan and her mother walked up to me. " Thank you for what you did for Rylan." I smiled at her as I see Pilar walk up behind her and take her wallet out of her purse. Once she had it I quickly replied to the woman. " It was no problem. I hope she enjoys it," I said smiling and walking over to pilar who was standing near the edge of the park. We walked out satisfied with the money we made and stole. When we got back to our apartment I took the money I got for my show and Pilar took the money out of the wallet she stole and we went to our separate rooms. I count the money that I collected and it all added up to be $105.35. I nodded satisfied and put it into my money jar. I took off my jacket and threw it on the bed. I saw something fall out of the pocket and went to pick it up, when Pilar knocked on my door. I quickly hid the object and opened the door. " Hey, sorry I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to stay with my family for a couple weeks, so you will be on your own is that ok?" I smile and nod at her. Pilar hasn't seen her family for about 4 years, so I want her to be happy and see them. She hugs me and bids me goodnight. I close my door and walk over to where I hid the object. I lift the covers to see a tarot card. I don't have this card in my special deck. I pick it up off the bed and look at the front. It says "The Giver". When I flip the card over I see the eye of Horus and some instructions.
