Sky of Ashes

Chapter 2

 So now now we are. The man bought Sky and I a nice two story house with a complete kitchen, living room, and two master bathrooms. He also offered to pay for our needs such as food, water, and other things. We had no choice but to accept his "generosity" because hey we were five and we had no money. He had put us in normal schooling until we turned sixteen which is when the true story begins.

 During mine and Sky's sixteenth birthday the man, who we had come to know as Shane, came to visit us. He had started to earn my trust more and more and we had come to call him Uncle Shane. He brought presents for both Sky and I. He rang the door bell and I answered.

 "Hey Uncle Shane what's up?"

 He smiled and said, "Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday."

 I face palmed and said, "Dang it I did. I had totally forgoten to get Sky a gift to."

 That was when he produced a small package that was wrapped in birthday wrapping paper and handed it to me.

 I looked at him clueless and asked, "What is this?"

 "I thought you might forget so I got you something to give to Sky and I brought my own gift for her as well as you."

 I smiled and said, "Thanks Unc."

 "No problem. Now I suggest that we start the celebration before you two have to leave."

 I groaned and said, "Well freedom was fun while it lasted. Oh well."

 I motioned him inside and the moment I closed the door behind Shane Sky came out of nowhere and jumped on my back.

 "Ow. Come on Sky you can't do that when my back is turned."

 She showed me her note pad that she used to communicate with me and it said, "Happy Birthday Ash!"

 I smiled and got her off as I said, "Happy birthday to you too Sky. Shane here brought you a present and I got you something too."

 She was jumping as if to say, "What is it? What is it?"

 I looked at Shane and said, "You want to give her your present first?"

 He shrugged and said, "I guess I have no choice."

 He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small rectangular box. He gave it to Sky and she ripped it open. Inside was a necklace with a rain drop pendant that was a bright blue color.

 Sky immediatly put it on and wrote in her note pad, "Thank you Uncle Shane."

 He laughed and said, "No problem Sky."

 Next up was me. I gave her the present and when she opened it it was two rain drop crystal earings. She put them on and wrote, "I love them. Thank you Ash."

 I smiled and said, "I'm glad you like them Sky."

 She then pulled out a box that was wrapped in black and grey wrapping paper and gave it to me. I opened it and pulled out a necklace with a skull pendant that was a shining silver color. I smiled, put it on, and said, "It's the best Sky. Thank you."

 She smiled and Shane came over to give me his present to me. I opened it and inside was a pair of keys. I looked at him confused and he led me to the garage. Inside was a silver and black motorcylce. I immediatly jumped on and felt it out.

 I smiled and said, "Thank you Unc."

 "I thought you might like it. Now I suggest you take sky before the school sends a complaint that you both are late for your first day school."

 I nodded and went to get ready. After about fifteen minutes I was dresses in my dark blue jeans, my pure black shirt, and leather jacket. Sky was dressed in a light blue shirt with light blue jeans. She hopped on the back of my motorcycle and held on to me as I put the pedal to the metal. So off we were to become full fledged magicians.
