Now That You Know Us

Evolving

I literally made Hunter sleep over for a week because of that dream. I'm scared that if I let him leave then my dream will come true. Everywhere I went, I made him go with me. Except to the bathroom or weird places. My abuela, who's usually against sleep overs at our house, was surprisingly happy to have Hunter there with us.

"Hunter baby, you want something else?" She said from across the counter, after giving him about five and a half waffles  (of which I ate half of one), twenty sausages, like thirty-seven pieces of bacon, four eggs, home fries, three pieces of toast, and almost nine cups of orange juice. He ate all of them of course, because he didnt wanna say no to her. I know he would feel bad to say no, but I'm pretty sure he was full after his second waffle, and if he kept eating, he'd turn into Kirby. He was gonna say yes, but then I looked at him and mouthed the words "really kid" and he shrugged. I punched him and he mouthed the word "okay", partly because I'm an asshole, and partly because he didnt wanna go morbidly obese.

"No thank you señora martínez. Im... pretty stuffed." He finally admitted. She turned around with a sad look.

"You sure sweetheart? Take some home then!" She said merrily, already having tupperware containers full of food.

"Okay. Thank you." Hunter said. He took the containers and started to get his stuff like his coat and clothes (which were actually MINE), when he stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around and stared at me. Then he stared at my abuela. I didnt know what he was thinking. He put everything down and made a ball of molten rock and threw it at my abuela. It hit her right in the head. I thought she was dead at that point.

"HUNTER WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT?" I screamed. He turned and smiled.

"Wait for it." He said. I looked back at my elderly grandmother, as she took all of the molten rock off of he face by pure elemental manipulation. She threw it back at him. He stopped it before his hand. He flung it around his body, and he threw it back with extreme force, enough of which that it made the house itself shift. My grandmother put her hands out and it stopped in between her hands positioned near her stomach. The ball of magma turned into a rapid moving ball of water with mist and small ice shards spiraling around it. She moved it delicately around her body and then threw it into the air and it stopped in the middle of them. Hunter added more magma to the ball and it accumulated, the shear cold white and light blue water and ice chasing the violent scarlet and orange lava mixed with black charred rock. Then they both put their hands up toward the ball and abruptly spread them apart at the same time, causing a ripple in the air, and time itself, and the ball exploded into beautiful little specks of black, blue, and white. They slowly floated down and decorated the air. I looked at them in amazement, and laughed a little bit. Then I looked at the two of them and my jaw dropped when my eyes landed on abuela.

"HOLY SHIT ABUELA, YOU HAVE POWERS?" I yelled in awe, wide and toothy grin embellIshed on my face.

"They're much more than powers, baby." She said. Then she looked at Hunter. "You... I knew I would like you ever since I saw you walk through this house and trail the mist of the half breed. You know half breeds are stronger than most demons right?" She said to him. I never wouldve even guessed. I never saw a trail of dust.

"Yeah. I remember. You look just like your sister. The Angel of Empathy, Time and Balance. And since shes that angel, then you must be..." he started.

"The Angel of Foresight, Elements and..."

"Creation." I said. She looked at me surprised.

"So you've experienced it, I see?" She asked. I nodded. Hunter walked over to her and nelt down.

"Its an extreme honor to meet you ma'am." He said. She placed her hand on his head and it started to glow. It was like she was testing him. Then she removed her hand and smiled.
