The Moonlarks

Hard to explain

The next couple weeks were uneventful. The neverseen were being annoyingly silent, which was one thing. We had to start Foxfire in 3 weeks, (yes I know that's not accurate but like I said in the last chapter I want to get us all to Foxfire.) so we were all going to Atlantis to get school supplies tomorrow.j

Since I wanted to invite all of our friends, I figured that today I would have to come clean to everyone, tell Hannah, Luisa, Jonah and Sophia that we were genetic experiments and that we had all already manifested.

Robin had also met everyone already, having being fully healed now. So today I invited everyone over to Havenfield. At least Sophie was at home, she was over at Everglen with Fitz and Biana.

As I was outside by the panakes tree, blue-pink-purple petals were scattered all around me. Ryan was still in his room, I think. So when Callan appeared outside the front door, I called over to him.

"Hey, Callan." I yelled "Over here." After hearing me he ran over. "Hi." I said. He responded, "Hey. So, are we gonna tell them today?" "Yup. That's why we're here." We chatted for a little bit, then Ryan came out.

A couple minutes after that, Robin came in a flash. She started chatting with everyone too. Finally, Sophia arrived, then Jonah, followed by Luisa and Hannah.

"So, why are we all here today?" Luisa questioned, blowing her dark bangs out of her eyes. "You said it was going to be sorta confusing." "Umm, yeah, so..." I looked to Robin, Callan and Ryan for help, but they just shrugged.

I took a deep breath. "Have you guys ever heard of the Black Swan?"

~~~

The rest of that conversation went about as well as I'd hoped. Jonah kept jumping in to ask questions, Hannah looked really confused, Sophia just looked in awe, and Luisa's expression was neutral.

As soon as I finished talking, Jonah recapped, "ok, so, you were all genetic experiments made by the Black Swan who is the group who also created Sophie Foster and Sophie Foster is you and Ryan's adopted sister because you're both currently living with Grady and Edaline, Robin is living with Dex Dizznee, and Callan is living with Fitz and Biana Vacker."

He took a breath, then continued, "Ryan is a technopath, you're a Telepath, Callan's a telepath, and Robin's an empath." "Yep, sounds about right." Robin confirmed.

"Woah." Jonah and Hannah said at the same time. "Oh yeah." Ryan added, "Kelly and I aren't really twins, she's older by like three months." "Ok, then... that's a lot of information, anything else?" Sophia asked, twisting her straight hair.

"I... think that's it." I reassured them. "Anyway, can you all come shopping with us in Atlantis tomorrow? I figured I tell you all today because we're going shopping with Sophie and her friends too."

"Are, you kidding? Yes!" They all exclaimed. After that was settled, we all took turns sharing something about ourselves. It turns out that Sophia is highly addicted to mallowmelt.

After that, we all decided to go home. After Hannah, Jonah, Sophia and Luisa left, Callan stopped Robin. "Why don't we all go to Everglen? Sophie's sleeping over anyway."

"Yeah, sure." I replied. Robin shrugged, "Sure, let me just go home and get some stuff." With that, she leaped home. Ryan and I went inside to get everything and then leap to Everglen.

"Edaline!" I shouted, while walking up the stairs. "We're going to go sleepover at Everglen!" I heard her yell back, "OK!" So I kept going up to my room to grab my imparter, phone, and some cloths for tomorrow.

I packed it all in my satchel, and climbed down the stairs to the leapmaster. Ryan was already waiting there with his satchel. As soon as I got there, he shouted, "Everglen!" And the light whisked us away.

"Hi." Callan greeted us when opened the door. Everglen's massive estate always amazed me. "Let's gooooooo." Robin exclaimed as she walked in behind us. She yeeted her bag onto the couch, and said, "Let's go attack!"

We all agreed, so Callan led the way up the stairs to Fitz's room. He made a quiet sign over his mouth. "Shh..." We could hear voices inside, so we walked a couple steps away and assigned everyone one person to tackle.

Callan would get Fitz, I would get Sophie, Robin would get Biana, and Ryan would get Keefe. As we crept back over to the door, I whispered, "three, two, ONE!" and one one, we open the door and ran in, tackling everyone to the floor.

Once they were all successfully on the floor, we got up and helped them all up. "You all are attack demons." Keefe laughed. I snuck over to Fitz's pillow, and took Mr. Snuggles from his spot, then placed it on Fitz's head.

"Hey!" He complained, and we all laughed again. He took Mr. Snuggles off his head, and gently placed him back on the bed.

We all settled down and I went to go sit on the bed while everyone else sat on the floor, (because I'm clearly superior) but then Callan went and sat up next to me.

"Ok," I started once I had everyone's attention. "As you all know, we have made some friends here in the lost cities, and since we have gotten to know them well, we told them about everything. They all handled it well, so they're gonna come shopping with us in Atlantis tomorrow."

Everyone agreed, and Sophie commented, "you didn't tell them about anything like the black swans identities, right?" "No, don't worry. Also, the fandom has confirmed that blur is Jensi's older brother, but that's only a very backed-up guess."

"Ok then..." Sophie murmured.

Then Callan went right behind her a whispered in her ear, "Sophitockets... Sophitockets everywhere!"

Then as Sophie's mind was probably trying to comprehend what just happened he tripped on his way back to the bed and yelled, "OH I COULD HAVE DROPPED MY CROISSANT!"

Then he plopped himself back on the bed. "...What?" Biana questioned. Ryan, Callan, Robin, and I all laughed. "Anywaaaaaay," I said, "Why don't we play a game?"

"Truth or dare!" Everyone except me and Sophie yelled. "Well then." Sophie groaned, "I guess we're playing truth or dare."
