Illusions (Enoch O'connor)

Chapter 11: Who are they?

Zaira Pov: The next day at Noon before dinner

" So your telling me. You can take us anywhere in the world?" Millard asked in his typical curious tone.
Zaira nods, " In a way yes. I can make you see anywhere in the world. Although I'm still not the best at it, I try taking Light places sometimes."

Millard hums in response as he turns back to his note pad.

All the peculiars were sitting down in the living area awaiting dinner. Tonight Mister Condor insisted he cooked so everyone, even Miss Peregrine, sat and listened to Zaira explain her power.

Olive looked at her and crossed her arms, " So you could take us to Egypt and stuff?" She asked happily.

She shake her head. " No. I can only merely take you to places in my memorys. So Paris, Washington, Rome, and other places I well remember." Zai explained in a more vivid way.
We all nod. Signalling we understood.

I smirk as I look down at her from beside her.

" Could you show us darling?" I ask.

I see her turn red and nod, " U-um....yeah sure...."

Every waits in anticipation as Zaira closes her eyes and takes in a deep wave of air.

Slowly, all the colors around us began to swirl and change. The furniture began to shift and the walls began to disappear.
Light and Mister Condor's kids smile while the rest of us look like we were going to vomit.

After a few seconds everything stopped spinning.

Zaira opened her eyes and chuckled at our amazed expressions. " You guys alright?" She asked sweetly.

Everyone except Horace nods. Horace covered his mouth to keep from puking.

Emma looked around, " Where are we?"

The building's were tall and futuristic. The place looked rather strange.
Zaira gestured around us. " Welcome to Italy."

She said as she did a grand sweeping motion.

Our eyes all go wide. Some of us have been to Italy, but it was most likely just starting out.

Millard laughed, " Italy? Why do the building look so strange?"

Zaira shrugs. " I don't know. You'll get used to it eventually though."

We all began walking around. All together of course.

Zaira walked in front to make sure every one knew where they were going. While I walked in the back just because.

I hear the faint sound of laughter behind me. The laugh is familiar but I don't know for sure. It sounded like........Zai?

Quickly I turn around and see Zaira running around with a golden smile.
Some boy chased after her.

The boy looked around my age, possibly older. He wore a leather jacket and a sly crooked smile as he ran after the beautiful girl.

I stand by and watch everything unfold.

" RIDDIAN! Go away!" She hollored and laughed as she kept running in circles.
The boy she called Riddian shook his head, " Sorry, can't do that my love!" He shouted back.

Folks that were watching them from street corners chuckled at there childish behavior. Aimly old folks.

Abruptly Zaira stopped running to catch her breath. Riddian slowed down and smiled.
" You alright?" He asked charmingly as he drew his hands though his hair.

Zai nods, " I'm fine Ian."

Riddian's smirk grew, " Good."

With that he wrapped his arms around her and flung her up on his shoulder and began spinning.

My eyebrows furrow. What was going on...?

When he placed her back down Zai was wobbling. Out of nowhere a small thin boy came out of nowhere smiling widely.

" That's it Riddian! Only I can spin her around!" He shouted, with a grin.

The boy had dark brown hair and tan skin. He looked like he came out a 1830's moive. He looked like he had grease in his hair, but he was stylish.

He wore a pure white smile as be ran over to Zaira.

Why does Z, know so many guys?

Riddian looked at the other boy and chuckled, " Sorry Johnny Boy."
He walked over to Zaira and wrapped his arms around her wobbling waist and kissed her cheek.
" But this is my girl."

HIS GIRL!?

Johnny shook his head, " Shoot, Ian, you better ask someone. It obvious Zai likes me best." He said in a joking manor.
Zaira was to dizzy to even process what was happening.

A small brunette girl ran down the street, " Okay enough. She's mine." With that she grabbed Zaira's hand and began pulling her away.

The two boys looked at each other. " Did we just lose to Lillian?" Johnny asked.
Riddian nodded, " In think we did."

They all suddenly faded away.

" Enoch you coming?" Olive hollored behind me.
I stare at the spot were the people had been.

" YEAH!" I shouted back.

I turned around and cought up with the others.
