Nights of Creation

Chapter 7

Talia had really blown. She started squealing and jumping, which doesn't sound bad until you realize that she's jumping about as much as a jack rabbit would if it was stuck in a long enough tube that it couldn't jump out. Carlos was crouching in the corner of the room as Talia was hugging Mr. Gregg and Mono hard enough to crush the life out of the both of them if that was possible. Mr.Gregg was gasping, yet still speaking "If-If you let go I can explain somethings to the both of you" Talia hesitantly dropped the two beings. Mr. Gregg brushed himself off, catching his breath and standing up straight. "I do believe that it's time for a proper explanation!" Mr. Gregg walked around the room, making everybody sit down like toddlers at story time in the library. "Carlos, Talia, I'll explain your roles as team mates together in a moment; but my dear Talia, do you know just how, for lack of better wording, odd your role is?" Talia, just like some us when watch Sesame Street, just violently shook her head silently. Did Mr.Gregg forget that Talia was only introduced to ALL of this within the past 72-48 hours? Well yes he did. "It all started with your mother. She was honestly a very quiet woman. Never spoke of her past until years of knowing her, so I obviously knew her very well and for a long time." He said, almost with pride, and still fixing himself up from that surprisingly strong hug. "Wait you knew my mother? The one that died?" questioning as if there were multiple mothers all having a single trait to reference them all by "Of course dear how else would I know you? Now shush and let me finish," Mr. Gregg replied curtly, patting Talia on the head. "She had the same power that you do, the ability to bring fiction to life. This power came from a long down your family line, but not just affecting females, your cousin from your mother's side also has this ability, he's just too young." Talia was shuffling in her seat, she wanted to know what family she never even met had to do with her current situation. " The reason all of this information is important to you is because part of your.... mission if you will, is to find your family, and the others, that have this ability. " He paused. Looked at the clock, "Talia, your father is due to be home soon. I suggest you pack your suit cases." Talia blinked, "I put suit cases in your closet now get packing. Don't forget anything that could be used creatively." Talia did as the sentient atom gentleman said, packing every thing that she needed, and a few stuffies for the hell of it. After she was done she had two trunks basically. Just cause she could, she changed her clothes, but wait, what was Carlos doing during all of this? Well he, Mr. Gregg, and Mono were all in the room discussing his abilities, for he has some himself. Oh yes, they're quite into the conversation. Ooooohhhh! I didn't know that could be a ability! So awe worthy! Amazing! Oh, well would you look at that, Talia's done changing. Guess that conversation has to take a pause now, shame too, it was really interesting. Mr. Gregg and Mono helped Talia carry her suit cases, and by helped we all know they basically did for her, to the taxi. I would say Uber, but Y'know, brands and the such, It's quite a funny scene actually, Carlos keeps trying to carry all of it himself, even though the suit cases are the size of him.
