Magic (ON HOLD)

The Truth

"Wait, Vanessa we have to pack your clothes!" Karana shouted behind me. She stumbled over to me and switched me around with a spark of her hand. " I know you're hurt but we need to get you ready to fight. Ok?" She asked kindly a ghost of a smile on her face. I looked over my shoulder at her. "This is no time to smile or laugh. I will get my clothes but we go and save our dad right after." I announced to her and turned on my heel to my room. I shoved the two blades behind my shoulder. Into the hilt that carried them. I pushed the door open and a blast of cold air carried in. My window was open the whole time! I ran over and slammed the large white framed window down. Then I carried my self over to my drawers and started to pick out different outfits. "While, your doing that I will tell you the truth about dad and I. But please don't say anything, it's hard enough!" She pleaded while pacing around my small room.

"The reason dad and I were sent to magic jail was because of mom. She made up a stupid story about how we did something terribly wrong to you. So, we went to magic jail. The reason we were locked up is because the magic government takes pride in the Blackburns. But, mostly our mom. So they would do whatever she said." She paused and inhaled deeply. Looking at me with real sorrow on her face. I glanced up at her to see if she had fully stopped. Then, realized she didn't and turned back to what I was doing.

"There is a way out of magic jail. But, you have to know the right people. I stayed in magic jail for most of My life. You get to know guards and different people that are willing to help you. So, dad and I devised a special plan to break out. About a week or two ago. But, when we actually took part in our plan. They caught us. Dad told me to get out, go on without him. He told me to find you and come back with you to save him." She walked over to me and placed a hand on mine. "We can get dad back. If we have the right weapons and the strength to do it." She whispered in my ear. Not like Jackson did bit more calmly and less seductive.

I bit down on my bleeding lip and threw my arms up in exasperation. "Fine! I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at our mom. She kept me away from my dad and you. She told me our dad was dead!" I yelled to her. She backed up quickly looking at me with a shocked look. "She said that!! She probably thought that dad would be dead for his fake crimes. But, I believe he is still alive. He wouldn't die on us!" She shouted in sadness and horror. "WE CAN DO THIS!" I chanted and threw my hand in the air. "Hey, wait. Why is our family called the Blackburns, we are the Jones aren't we?" I asked thoughtfully. "Oh, when dad and I were taken to magic jail. The magic government assumed since we were never to be let out that our mom divorced him. So mom's maiden name is Blackburn. Our dads last name is Jones. She use to be Rebecca Jones. But, now or she use to be since you killed her," She glared at me through slitted eyes. "She was Rebecca Blackburn." She replied calming down.

I slung the packed bag of clothes over my shoulder and dashed out the bedroom door. Karana following quickly behind me. I sprinted to the car and saw Jackson jamming out to his favorite emo band. Falling in reverse. "Turn that shit off Jackson!" Karana yelled through the open window. Jackson hit the pause button on the car radio and sat back against the chair. I opened the door and hit him on the shoulder. "Get the hell out of my chair, idiot!" I shouted at him. He put one leg out, then suddenly pulled me down to him and kissed me fiercely on the mouth. I leaned in to it, feeling a little better about what was going on. I am glad I brought Jackson with me. At least I have some of my normal life still with me. Karana coughed loudly and Jackson paused for a second. Lips still on mine,as he glanced back over to Karana.

He split our lips apart very slowly. Then, got out holding my hips for support. When he stood up he was an inch or two taller than me. He looked down at me and smiled. Then, threw me into the seat that he was in and leaned down, holding the car door and the top for support. He leaned into the car a little and spoke. "So, what the fuck are we doing now?" "We are going to break into magic jail to save our dad. Haven't you been listening?" Karana questioned glaring at Jackson with a look of annoyance. "Ok, ok calm down delinquent she-devil!" He laughed and swung my car door shut. Before Jackson opened the back door one, Karana looked at me with a pale face. "He didn't know." I whispered sympathetically. She nodded and turned back to the wheel. "Ok, this time don't go so fast!" Jackson yelled over to the front seat. Karana giggled and started off at top speed. I glanced at her and realized she was looking in the mirror, laughing at Jackson's face turn green. This is my family. We're coming dad!
