Unique

Chapter 2- Uriah

Chapter 2- Uriah

“ How’d they get that?! We were so careful!” Kylie says jumping up from her spot on the couch. They caught us disappearing and coming down from the building. We didn't really do much but they still caught us. The headline is: Who are they and why are they so secretive?

Kylie is pacing around.

“ Kyls it's fine. Calm down you're making the others nervous.” I hiss under my breath, looking around at the three kids staring at Kylie. She stops and sits next to me.  

“ You guys wanna go to your rooms? I need to talk to Kylie. We’ll call you down soon.” I say nodding towards the stairs. They nod and head to their rooms talking amongst each other. Alyssa hangs back until I give her a pointed look. She sighs and heads to her room. I turn back to Kylie who is staring at the TV.

“ Kylie..” No answer. “ Kylie!” Again no answer. “ KYLIE FOR PETE’S SAKE LOOK AT ME.” I yell out grabbing her attention. She looks at me annoyed.

“ What Uriah?” She says getting up and heading to the kitchen. I follow her. She grabs a soda from the fridge and pops it open. I grab one as well.

“ You need to calm down Kyls. It was just one picture and it was blurry you can barely see our faces. Plus we were in our mission suits and we didn't have those horrible fake glasses on.” I say. She nods.

“ Yeah I know, but we can't have our secret identities found out by the world. We live in the forest for a reason Ri. I already have to take care of all you guys and then the whole world. I can’t take everything for myself. I need your help. School doesn't matter.” Kylie says sitting on a stool sipping her drink between sentences. I nod listening carefully. Hey for a 14 year old I'm pretty smart. Kylie sighs.

“ Lo-” I start but I get interrupted by a 10 year old bursting into the room looking scared.

“ Kylie! Uriah! Come quick I got a email from The Rockets!” Alyssa says quickly. I immediately stand up. Kylie is already in Alyssa’s office when I get there. She is at the laptop. She is reading an email.

“ Read it out loud woman! We want to know what it says!” Jessica says. I glare at my sister. Kylie rolls her eyes. She clears her throat and starts reading.

“Hello Unique, long time no talk huh? Well we saw you guys on tv. Tsk tsk I thought we were to be careful Pumpkins?” Kylie growls at that.

“ Anyway I know you guys have the file about Dr. Jacob. I would love to have it. Kylie be a dear and give it to me. You are going to suffer the consequences if you do not give it to me. Dr. Jacob was not only like a father figure to all of you but he was also my brother dear. I deserve to know what happened. I am very upset that he died. Oh well. I expect it at my headquarters tomorrow morning. If it's not there by 10 am I will take something away from you.

It was nice chatting Kylie, Uriah, Jessica, Alyssa and Jack. I'll see you soon.    

- Drake, leader of The Rockets.”

“ Oh my gods! Drake is threatening us!” Jessica exclaims. My sister everyone, the over dramatic one. I roll my eyes.

“ I think we are all aware of that Jess.” Alyssa says.

“ He doesn't sound upset that his older brother died.” Kylie mutters as she reads the email again.

“ What do you guys think he will take away from us? What's the thing we all love the most?” Alyssa questions. My eyes widen as I look around the room. Jack!  We all turn to look at Jack who is coloring on the ground. The eight year old is the most important thing to us.

“ Jack, sweetie do you want to watch some cartoons in the living room? I’ll bring you a nutella sandwich while you’re watching TV.” Kylie says causing Jack to look up. He smiles brightly making us smile. He nods and heads out. Once Kylie closes the door she turns towards us.

“ We can't let Jack out of our sight! He's too important and he can't be captured. We will not give that profile to Drake. Understood?” She says. We nod. She sighs and leaves to make Jack his sandwich. I follow her after a few minutes of awkward silence. When I enter the living room I hear Jack’s laughter. I smile at the sound. I look at Kylie who has Jack pinned on the ground, tickling him.

“ Kylie… I'm sorry… I promise.. I won't do it again.. Hahaha… Stop!” Jack says between laughs.

“ If you say ‘ Kylie is the best and I love her very much’ I will stop.” Kylie says.I roll my eyes. She can be so childish.

“ Okay okay… Kylie is ...the best… and I love her.. very much!” Jack says still laughing. Kylie stops tickling him. I snort. She turns at the sound. She smiles at me and gives Jack his sandwich, which he gladly takes.  She ruffles his hair and then stands up and walks towards me.

“ I can't imagine him being  taken away from us- from me- from anyone. He's just too innocent.” Kylie says standing next to me. I nod.

“ I know Kyls I can't either but we have to make sure we all have eyes on him every hour. It's the only way to protect him.” I say. She sighs and nods.

“ I’m going to head to my office. Call me if you need something. Go train with the others if you want.” Kylie says walking away. I shrug. I sit down to watch tv with Jack. He is watching Paw Patrol.

“ Chase is my favorite.” Jacks says proudly. I laugh.

“ Marshall’s my favorite.” I say. He turns to glare at me. I step back in faux surrender. He smiles and turns back to the tv. I laugh under my breath and press my bracelet. We all have bracelets that send out signals to the rest of the crew it also sends a message. I know Kylie will ignore this.

Who wants to train?

I immediately get answers. Jack looks at his.

“ Five minutes. Just give me five minutes.” Jack says.

“ Just meet us in the training room.” I say getting up. He nods. I get up and head upstairs. I step into the gym and head towards the mirrors. I stop at the middle one. I reach up to the top right corner and press down. A scanner comes out of the corner.

Please state your name, position, and age.

“ Uriah Johnson. Second in command. 14.” I say as the scanner scans my body. A green light appears and the mirror vanishes. I step into our training room and flick the lights on. The mirror turns back into a mirror. We can see the gym but the people in the gym can't see the training room. I see Alyssa come up to the mirror and then enter. I set up everything. I set up the dummies, I set up the fake trees and the shields. We are doing target practice. We have to aim at a specific spot.

“ Alright kiddos! We are going to do aim today.” I say turning towards the kids. They shrug.

“ Easy!” Jessica says. I turn to look where she is gonna hit with her telekinesis. She lifts a dagger and turns it around a bit in the air. I face the target just as she lets it fly. I feel something coming at me so I duck. The dagger managed to cut some of my top hair off. It lands in the dead center of the target. I glare at my sister.

“ JESSICA JOHNSON! YOU BETTER RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” I say lunging at her.

“ Holy chicken nuggets! See ya later guys!” Jessica says sprinting out of the training room. I sprint right after her. I almost bump into Kylie chasing her.

“ Whoa there tiger. Slow your roll. Why are you chasing your sister?” Kylie says stopping me from murdering Jessica.

“ Why?! This is why!” I say pointing to my hair. Kylie looks at it and bursts out laughing.

I gape at her. “ Kylie! It's not funny!”

“ It.. actually.. really… is!” Kylie says doubling over in laughter. I glare at her.

“ Oh come on Ri don't be mad. She barely cut your hair!” Kylie says, finally calm might I add. I just turn on my heel and head back to the training room.
