Lauren's POV

 

I awoke to the sound of something crashing. I sat up and grabbed the first thing I could find. Which sadly was my ipod. I set it back down and got up. I was about to run out when I looked down. I was in my pajamas. Pink shorts with hearts on them and a white cami. I quickly went to my closet and picked out the white cotton clothes. I guess they weren't too bad. I grabbed my wand and staff and ran out. I heard more yelling and crashing. I tried to find my way but ended up getting lost. But I did find the source of the sound. It was a bedroom on the fourth floor. I peeked in. There was a boy, about fourteen, swinging a staff around and knocking things over. He was also making ninja sounds. I didn't remember him in the recording.

 

"Um, excuse me. I just got here but who are you?" I asked as politely as I could. I was standing in the doorway. He was either ignoring me or couldn't hear me so I walked right up behind him and screamed "HELLO!?!? CAN YOU HEAR ME?!?!? WHO ARE YOU?!?!" he screamed like a little girl and dropped the staff. Then he turned around and looked at me. "Who are you?" he asked. "I asked you first!" I shouted. "You did? Oh yeah. I'm Al." he said smiling and stuck out his hand. I stared at him. I shook his hand anyway. "I'm Lauren. Newbie. What about you?" I asked. He was about 5'8 a little taller then me, light bronze skin, and buzz cut brown hair. "Yup, The name's Al Kee! Wait I already said that, Well I'm thirteen, and I have ADHD. Or maybe it's ADD? What's the one where you're all hyper? When did you get here? I got here about three hours ago. They got me everything I needed real fast. I even called my parents so they knew everything! Sadie found me while looking for a cat. Did you know she has a cat? Wait do you even know who Sadie is? They keep talking about a recording. I haven't heard one but the insest I have. I was kinda going for a midnight stroll when they found me. Does that make me weird?" he asked quickly.

 

"Woh. Woh. Woh. Woh. Slow down. Let me have some time to think. Alright, here it goes. ADHD. Last night. Yes. Yes. And kinda." I finished. He took some time to process this. That's when Carter came in. "Oh, I see you guys have met. Well, come on down, we've got breakfast ready," he said. He lead us down to the balcony where there was bowls and five types of cereals and some fruit. I took the frosted flakes. I looked at my watch. 7 o'clock. What was he doing walking around at 4am in the morning? What was I doing up so early? Sadie came in with really messed up hair and looking really grumpy. "What are we doing up so early? Usually we sleep until like ten!" she complained. Yes! Ten! She sat down and fell asleep. I tossed and orange to Al and he missed it. Sadie looked up for a second, saw he had the orange and went back to sleep. Carter, Walt and Jaz had already finished eating and I'm guessing went back to bed. Why they only got up this early just to go back to sleep I'll have no clue.

 

My plan was working. I threw an orange at Sadie and Al didn't see it. I quickly but quietly started eating my breakfast. Sadie looked up angrily and saw Al holding an orange. "Did you think that was funny!?" she shouted. "What?" he asked. "Throwing an orange at me!" she yelled. "What? I didn't-" he tried but Sadie cut him off. "Oh don't even pretend! I'll show you something that's real funny!" she snapped. She took out her wand. Okay so maybe I'd gone a little too far. But what could I do that wouldn't involve also hurting me? Just then, Thank Horus, (woh! I'm speaking like them now! And I haven't even been here for 24 hours!) Carter came in and took in what was happening. "Hey, Sadie, stop! Your gonna scare the new kid!" he said stepping in front of her. He pulled her inside and talked to her. I don't know what about though.

 

Al turned to me "Was that you?" he asked. I nodded. "Thanks a lot! You almost got me pounded!" he whispered. I smiled. He frowned and went back to eating. I thought he would hold a grudge but five minutes later he was back to peppy boy! It was getting a little annoying. "Alright guys!" Carter said, coming back in. Sadie didn't follow. "Since we had that little disagreement, I'll be teaching you." he said brightly. "Teaching us what?" me and Al asked at the same time. "How to control your powers, and in time, to host a god." he said. And with that, he headed into the house. We followed  him inside to begin our training. I really hope this works out well, or at least okay.
