Putting Thoughts Into Words

Riza's POV

I practically stayed up all night, trying to put everything together. Compartmentalizing. That's it.

I have read alot of Scientist journals about magic, and how thinking it would affect humans. But it never said anyone ever did it. The only thing that ever showed up when I researched it was a mad named Jacob Filtguradner. It said he got caught testing stuff on his daughter. I never found her name though, but It said she was only one year old at the time, and he was in prison because of it. Heh, so that means that person is about my age.

But then again, on my birth certificate, there was no name for my father, and I resemble my father in no distinct way, or even in the slightest way...This could be me, heh, but that'd be odd, since I would be way more powerful then I was now.

I had decided to go get some fresh air, so I got up, and headed out. I was now wearing dark jeans, almost knee lenght leather boots, a random tee-shirt, with a cropped tan jacket. I noticed Alagretto was standing outside, too, nursing his burns.

"You know what's good for burns?" I asked, going to use him to wake up everyone else at two am in the morning, "A nice, hot shower."

"Really?" He asked. Was he really this stupid? Ah well, his loss.

"Yup. Why don't you go take one right now?"

"I'll wait, I just want to know, how do you know all of this?" He asked.

"I've been interested in magic like this ever since I was little. I also found alot of magic journals at my house in my mother's hidden spaces. I think she used to study it, or knew this man who used his daughter in trying to figure out this. If I'm right, his daughter is out here somewhere, and we should be able to find her, because she's our age, and really powerful. All we have to do, is find this man, which I know his location. Break into the jail he's in, ask her name, and her approximate whereabouts, then go after her."

"How did you think the other's are going to react by that? And what's you're goal?"

"To find out how we got these powers. And what the reason behind them is." I stopped, "And you're not gonna feel any better till ya take a hot shower." Hot shower+burns=screaming because it burns, waking up all of the others.

"Okay fine, I'm going!" He annoyingly yelled, walking back to the house. I followed a little behind him.

Sucker.
