Through Maroon's Eyes|✔

Chapter 27: Maroon

  So i'm a level 1 super now. Yay. Now that i'm a super, things like monsters and villains are a daily thing. But while i'm in the mall with Olivia and mom? Heck no. Leave me alone, would ya?

  I pushed Olivia along. Every so often I would speed up, and she would giggle and smile. Was this what it was like when me and Zip were babies and Katelyn had to come with mom to the mall? Probably not. We were baby boys so I mean.. I guess not..

  "This way, cookies." My mom said, turning to her left. I turned to the left and looked up. I sighed. I should really look at the signs before I go into places..

  My mom held up a baby pink shirt that read 'Fastest crawler in town!'. I smiled. "That is true, mom." She smiled. "But is it cute?" "Are you asking me? Or Zip?" "You." "I, think it's adorable." "I do too!" She said, putting it in the cart. "How much is it?" "$13.50." "Not a bad price."

  "I know! That's why I bought more!" My eyes fell on the cart, a pile of baby girl clothes sitting in it. "Oh.. That's why you asked.." "Yep!" I sighed. "I love you mom, but that's a lot of clothes for Liv. She's only over a year old." My mom started walking to the cashier. "I know, cookie. But you can never have too many clothes." "Yes.. you can.."

  We paid for the clothes, and headed to the toy shop a store down. I saw Issac on the bottom floor and waved. He looked up and waved back, taking a bite of a sandwich.

  We walked into the store, and I spotted a stuffed owl. "Hey mom, how about this?" I asked, holding up a fluffy stuffed horned owl. My mom sighed. "Maroon, her pet may not even turn out to be a owl." "But everyone in our family gets a owl.." My mom smiled.

  "Payton had Swane, a Swan. Katelyn had Moonie, A wolf." She said, putting a stuffed animal into the cart. "How is Moonie anyway?" "You can ask Katelyn when we get home, cookie."

  Someone ran by outside, chased by the mall cops. "Hey mom uh- some sort of criminal I think- can I go help?" "Sure cookie, you don't have to ask. I'll be here if you need me." I nodded, running out of the toy shop.

----------------------------

  I shot water at the criminal, running after them normally. "Freeze! Halt! Er- Stop?"

  The criminal stopped, half turning. He dropped whatever he was holding. Was that some kind of- artifact? "From the ashes we will rise.." "What does that mean-?" A fireball flickered to life in his hand. It grew to the size of a large bowling ball. "Holy Roalstin.."

  He chucked it at me, nearly missing my hair. "I may not be a Mr.Perfect, but watch the hair!" I chucked a 'waterball' at him, meeting the same size as the fireball. "Also- you're a super?! Or is it mutant? Are you that kind of guy-?" The criminal shot another fireball at me. "The name's Abram. But you shall know me as FlameKeeper, Speedster." He said, the fireball nearly missing my leg.

  "Flamekeeper?- Hey watch it!- That's a cool name, -I guess." "Thanks." He said, almost emotionless. I chucked another waterball at him.

  He dashed at me, but I stepped out of the way. In a second, I was on the ground, and FlameKeeper was running away. "Hey, hold on- gah.." I looked at my leg. Great, a huge cut across my leg. I sighed, and managed to get up. "Mom can fix this." I said, limping back to the toy store.

---------------

  As soon as my mom saw the cut, she rushed back home. "Katie! Get the large bandage and the cut cream!" My mom called up the stairs. "Why?" "Just get them!" "Alright!" Katelyn rushed down, and her eyes fell on my cut.

  "What in the name of- where'd you get that?" "A guy.. his name was Abram. His super name was.. FlameKeeper. He had this.. weird artifact.." She sighed, popping off the cap of the cream. "All that matters is that you're ok." "Katie, i'm a super. I think i'm fine." She smiled, putting on the bandage.

  "I'll take you to the base. It'll be a pretty interesting story for your friends." I got up. "Yeah, I guess so." I said, putting on my jacket. "Love you, Liv." Olivia smiled, and giggled. "Mawoon!" She said, smiling. I paused. "Wait- what'd she say?" "Maroon.. Her first word is Maroon!" My mom said, smiling. "Really? I wanted it to be Katelyn.." Katelyn said, putting on her jacket. "C'mon Mar, let's go." I smiled, and headed out the door with Katelyn. "You ready?" She asked, turning the key. "Yeah, let's go."

*Blink blink* I thought her first word would be something like mommy.. or daddy.. But ok..
