I started to do the dishes glancing at my watch every now and then. I knew it had to be fake but still. I needed to know for sure. When Carus left to check on mom I went to my room. My watches buzzed a little.

Everyone but you knows.

I shake my head and ignore it for now. I need to know where it was coming from. I pulled out my tablet and tried tracing where the signal came from. It was something everyone was taught to do. I scanned through the codes before coordinates were shown.

I frowned confused as I look at them. It's from the Arctic. That can't be right. The only place in the Arctic is... Dad? No he wouldn't be this cryptic. Maybe they're hiding the source. That's probably it.

Such a rare power to waste.

I gulp as I look at the message. I decide to message back. I need to know what they were talking about. I don't have any powers. I wrote wondering how they'd respond.

Have you noticed amicus collars draining, people around you feeling tired? Then getting headaches?

I gulp nervously. Whoever this is much be stalking her yo know that kind of stuff. Go away stalker. I sent worried.

Everyone has a power. You're not different. You power is just hard to detect. Even if they did know they'd never tell you.

I start taking off my watch wanting whoever it is to stop. It wasn't real. It was just a trick. It has to be.

Meet me tonight at star point pond. I'll show you.

I look at the words in shock. Would someone lie just to make them meet them or... Or is what they were saying real? What time? I find myself asking without thinking.

Moon cross

It was a phrase but it meant a lot. Moon cross is when the moon crosses over the sun. It happened once a month every month. One thing happened every moon cross. People can't us their powers until it's over. Meeting a moon cross was a way of diplomacy and it was very important. Turning a moon cross meeting is forbidden to any soldier.

Okay Moon cross it is. I typed getting ready. I didn't have a choice. If I wanted to be a soldier I couldn't about a moon cross meeting. I threw on my jacket and quietly sneaked outside.

I stated to make my way to the pond. During moon cross it's said you could see every star in the sky. It wasn't possible of course but it's still very popular. I gulp wondering what is in store for me.
