OCs 2 - the Sequel

Unreal (Literally)

Jacob put up Christmas decorations while Aspen and the kids were asleep. He had never really been able to help before Val took back his powers, but now, he felt free. He hadn't exactly told Aspen yet, but... To be fair, he didn't want it to be a big deal.

Jacob felt like powers had ruined his life. He cringed at the memories, not wanting to remember the years of his life that were stolen from him.

Sadia missed being real, but she sacrificed herself to save Arcadia and she regretted nothing from that day... Except that it separated them... She shook her head and went off to check on others.

Although Sadia wasn't real, her powers still were... One of the worst parts about not being real anymore was seeing everyone she cared about forget about her except Arcadia and her siblings. But with Chloe taking her place, they seemed to have moved on. She understood, she thought with a small smile. But Sadia just wanted to be real.

"Fine by me. Just stay away from me."
Sadia disappeared, leaving the person alone.
The person grumbled. "I see... I'll have to be more...persuasive..."
