Sixth Out of Six

Part Four

I heard over the intercom, "Can Edan please report to the office, can Edan please come to the office. Thank you," I had hoped he wasn't in trouble, but in about ten minutes the office called me down too.

"Hello Ro, Earth Born." It was a person from the council to make sure our family won't get in trouble.

"Hello Titus, are we in trouble for something?" I asked with the fakest sweet voice I could think of.

"Yesterday with the Lightning, Edan said you changed the memory of it, but you're not that powerful- you're an Earth born!" he said the last two words like they were poison. We Earth born are on the bottom of everything. We're told we are the weakest of and the magic born. But we are in fact more adaptable with the blanket magic and we are smarter than most.

"I did, and I also combed through his mind this morning, so I am going to leave now because you can't stop me." The look in his eyes, it was priceless.

"Sit your ass down boy, why the hell did you make them think it was Ubel then!?!?!" He said smacking his hands against the table. This was something I thought about last night, and I'm still thinking about now. Why didn't I make them think it was a freak accident, no I made them think Uble.

"I was panicked and it was the simplest answer to save him," I said with a bit of regret resonating in my voice. "I needed to help so I did what I did, if I ruined his life then I'll deal with it. He hurt Edan then Edan used self defence. So you can leave," I said storming out of there. Why did I do that? To protect Edan, that is what Earth did, he protected his siblings from one another and from external threats. Though much has changed since the Original Six, Yet they're all still important to me.

I looked around for Edan but couldn't find him. So I went back to sitting alone.
"I'm here!" Edan said sitting down across from me, "Teach me the ways of the blanket, young master!" he said, bowing his head to me.

"First don't call me that, second okay." I said laughing, "So you will want to pool you magic in your mind, then you will want to pour it into someone else's mind then tell it what to do. It will take you awhile to be able to learn to pool the magic.

When I got home that day my parents asked if i was up to using the mirror today, but i advised against it telling them what had happened before and during school.

"Wow, you little troublemaker." my dad said with a smile. My mom laughed so hard she spit milk out her nose. As we were laughing we heard a knock at the door.

"Well I'll get it, maybe it will be Edan!" My mom said with that look in her eye.

"Vanished family number 237, you will submit your house to a complete search any complaints will be taken as threats and you will be imprisoned," that asshole Titus said.

" We submit our house we just ask that we can sit in our rooms," my dad said respectfully.

"Yes you may." Titus said, I went up into my room and my phone buzzed.

I deleted all the texts and put my phone in my pocket just as they came in.

"I am here to search your room, do you surrender it to me?" This girl asked me

"Sure," I said sitting on my bed. You could tell she was new because she didn't look everywhere and I had one thing hidden my room. It was a book on the Forbidden Five, a group of blanket spells that the council made. You can lern them, but everytime one is used they know. One spell allows the user to make their element. The second one allowed the user to make a shell of pure magic around someone the shell would slowly leech the power out of the victim till death and the caster gets the power. The third one is the one I want to learn it makes it so the caster can leave their body and move each one independently.

"What is this?" She said with the book in hand.

I made her forget it and said,
"Your room is clean," apparently mine was one of the last few rooms for they left not much later.

"Your house was clean," they said and left.

"Are you up for the mirror tonight?" My mom asked with a hint of something new in her voice.

"Two am?" I asked.

"Better start resting now."

As I went up to my bed I started to think what he meant by "I'll think of something"?
