I'm sorry for a late update! Just been very busy with schoolwork and assessment tasks sooo.. But still, enjoy reading this new chapter! ~
"Do you trust me?" I asked Arria.
"Pretty much." She replied, shivering.
And we finally jumped off the precipice, after a few anxious conversational topics. When we rose up from the water, we saw two normals looking at us.

"That is awesome! Wicked! Cool!" one boy said, admiring our risky jump.
"Too bad you cannot do the same." said a girl.
"I can do the same! But how can you jump that high cliff?!"
"We have some help." Arria replied, winking to Tobias, who jumped as well, the water supporting him. Good Gast, he's not seen.
"Are you new here?" said the girl.
"Ignore her! My name is Peter, and this is Deidre. We're new here too and attending school that starts for a few weeks. Do you want to join us? You seem like very cool people!"
"They're strangers Peter. Do not talk to them." said a plump, pale woman behind them, who seems like their mom.
"We better get going." I said.
"Nupperhood Public Highschool! You better join! We will be all alone. And being new is just petrifying!"
"If you're too social right now, everyone will be your friends." Deidre said.
"Not like them!"
"We need to be going. Our... mother is calling us." I lied. Talking to normals, will probably cause trouble. We just ran, Peter still shouting from behind. We sat behind Miss Mere. Arria stood up to fill the bucket with water.
"Peculiars are too fearless these days." I heard Miss Mere said.
"As Mr. Fly said, they're growing." And Miss Cockatiel replied.
"You can understand this strange foe?"
"Friend. Miss. A strange, preppy, friend."
-friend. He's too suspicious."
I ignored them both. I walked towards Wayne and Fly, who seems to be having tea.
"Okay, are you serious now?" I asked.
"These people won't remember tomorrow anyway."
"Wayne. Swim. Now."
"No way. Water is filthy."
"Air is being contaminated."
He gasped. "Oh my! I need to go. Now."
"I'm joking!" I said. "It's really contaminated." I whispered to myself.
"Not a funny joke stupid."
"I'm going to call Tobias to pour water on you."
"Please no. And, I'm going to dematerialize any way. No chance."
"No chance." And a bucket of water fell on his head. Arria gasped and hugged her knees, cradling herself on the ground.
"Oh my god." she said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Bye, Wayne. Let's go Arria." She stood up.
"I did something cruel RIAN!" she said, and suddenly laughed her heart out. "God, it's the most enjoyable thing I've ever done!" and joined her too.
"MIIIIIIIIIIISSSS!!!" we heard Wayne yelled.
"What do you want to do next?"
"I want to ask you a question. Could I?" she asked.
"Yep. Go on."
"Do you have more abilities, besides making glass artefacts?"
"That's just one thing I did. I can do a lot more. Like, make something into stone, or a plant, or an animal! Whatever you want! Transfiguration is a very dangerous ability to have. But it can be also productive, protective and beautiful."
"Wow. But, how did you learn to control it?"
"Just when I created someone very vicious. Also, very hollowed." I shivered.
"A creation?"
"I'd rather not talk about such things. My dreams became my nightmares ever since."
"It's alright. You're the one who decides." She picked a shell off the ground and gave it to me. "How about this? Can you turn this into something?"
"Yeah. Let's see." I took the tiny shell and thought about some ideas. "How about a fish?" My hand quickly became slimy and scaly, it can't breathe so much.
"Your hands turned into a goldfish." She said.
"Look." I touched the shell, and it became more and more golden as it transforms.
"Enough!" shouted a voice. Tobias hurled a large ball of water and caught the fishes from dying. "You turned a fish into a gold bar! Turn it back. People are staring at us."
I looked at the crowd, I saw one faint and another hungry. I stroked the fish and it turned into a small shell again. Arria threw it onto the sea, and little did I know, the normal people on the beach keep gasping and leaning in. Closer. And closer.
"WHAT'VE YOU DONE?!" I heard Miss Mere said, pointing at the crowd and to Wayne, who's staring angrily to me.
"They'll forget about it right?" I asked Miss Cockatiel, my heart pounding hard.
"Our loop is bro-o-o-ken. We've been raide-de-ded." she replied. That escalated quickly.
