Mystery of Magic

Chapter 2

Chapter two

I have to get to the bottom of this. “Ok, let’s play.”, I say trying to sound happy. It took a few hours to play, and my mom kept landing on boardwalk, which was my dad’s property, and going bankrupt. “Why do I keep landing on boardwalk?!”, she says frustrated. “I don’t know why do you?”, my dad says back with a smirk. While my mom gives up a few more of her properties I roll and land on go to jail. “At least I’m not the one going to jail this time.”, my mom says. My entire family has always been competitive, but I never got that trait I guess. As the game ends my mom and I lose and my dad wins. “Ok, great game guys, I’m going to go to my room now.”, I say. “Ok sweetie, have fun.”, she says. I don’t want to go to my room to see my emails, I just want to go to play my favorite video game. As I go upstairs I think once again about the message. What could that girl mean… was she lying...or maybe she is telling the truth. If she is I need to know what this secret is. Once I’m on my computer and on my game, I find my favorite avatar. I’ve always loved minecraft, it’s my favorite game, I have the most amazing world it has a castle and a roller coaster and everything. But as soon as I get on my world it says in the bottom of my screen: _SecretPlayer_  has joined the game. Who is that? I didn’t invite anyone to join my world. 

_SecretPlayer_:Hey

CraZyMckeyla: Who are you?

_SecretPlayer_:Your sister of course, I told you we would talk soon. I was just checking to make sure nothing until usual is happening. Also, please note that I do know everything about you. Dont try to hide.

_SecretPlayer_ has left the game.

Who is this girl and why is she saying that I’m her sister? What are my parents not telling me? I have so many questions that only that girl can answer. How does she keep finding me? A noise outside shakes me out of my thoughts, and scares me almost out of my skin. What was that? Once again the noise outside rustles. I look out my window and see a kitten trapped in the bushes, it mews helplessly in pain. “DAD!!!”, I yell coming downstairs. “Yes?”, he asks. “I found a kitten!! It’s outside my window in the bushes!”, I say. He looks at me in confusion and says, "And?" he smiles slightly and says"Im coming." As we get outside I feel the summer breeze, warm, but still kind of wet sense it rained last night. “Oh my goodness!!”, I yell excitedly,”It’s a calicoe!!!!!”, I say even more excited. I have always loved cats but my favorite are calicoes, my mom always wanted to get me one but never got to it. It was mostly white with ginger splotches and black on the face. “It’s so cute! Can I keep it?”, I ask. “Um… I’ll ask your mom, it would be really hard to bring it with us to South Carolina.”, he said. “poor cat, I wonder where its mother went."I carefully detach it from the bush. "Can I keep it? Can I? Can I?" I say with puppy dog eyes.“Ok, ok, go get your mother.”, he said. I dash off to find my mom and ask about the kitten. “MOM! I FOUND A KITTEN!”, I say loudly throughout the house. “Ok, stop yelling I’m in the kitchen.”, she says from the kitchen. As I walk in I see her reading the news, “What’s on the news?”, I ask. “Nope, not telling you that until you ask me what your going to ask.”, she says, practically reading my mind. “Um… would I, maybe, if I keep it clean and take care of it, maybe, keep the kitten?”, I ask. “I know it would be hard to bring her with me but I would take care of her, I promise.”, I say assertively. “All right, but if you don’t take good care of it then it’s going straight to the pound.”, she says. I knew she would never do such a thing, but I humor her threat.  “Ok!”, I say happily. My dad walks in with the kitten and says,”It has cuts and scrapes everywhere. We need to take it to the vet.”, he says as he examines it. “Yea, we should get her fixed up. Have you seen my phone?”, I ask my mom. “Yeah, last time I saw it, it was next to your computer. “Ok, I’m going to go get it.”, I say as I walk upstairs, I don't remember it being next to my computer. Maybe I just missed it. But when I see my phone it makes me wish I never came upstairs. There’s a note on it.

Dear McKeyla,

Sorry I had to steal your phone. I had to do a few things. I also hope the kitten makes up for birthdays. Talk soon.

Why does this keep happening? Why now? When I unlock my phone there’s another message. 

Her name is Glitzy, it’s because when I first found her she was covered in glitter. Isn’t that funny?

Well it would be funny if the person telling me wasn’t random girl who continuously threatens me and stalks me. Might I also add that she claims to be my sister. I grab my phone and go downstairs. “Where’s Glitzy?”, I ask. “Oh so you named her already?”, my mom asks. I had said it before I thought about what I was saying. Should I keep her name? I mean there is no harm in it I suppose. “Um..sorta.”, I say half heartedly. “Any way, where is she?”, I ask again. “Oh she’s in the backseat of the car. Your father is getting ready to go to the vet.”, she says. “Ok, can I go with him?”, I ask. “Of coarse. Go right ahead.”, she says. “I have some people to talk to…”, she says nervously. “Ok?”, I say. As I get in the car I think about what my mom said. Who did she need to talk to? Does she know about the girl thats talking to me? “Ok sugar pea, ready to go?”, my dad asks as he starts the engine, which is always loud when it first starts but quiets down as we start going. “Have you ever been to the vet?”, I ask my dad. “Yes once before when we found a dog on the side of the road. It had been hit by a car but it wasn’t dead and your mom wanted to help it.”, he says as he chuckled,"Your mom always had a soft spot for animals. I’m sure if she didn’t she would not have let you take this cat with you.”,he said.

It had taken about an hour to get to the vet since my dad took his “shortcut”. Usually it’s never good when dad has a “shortcut” because usually they end being five times longer than the regular way. Mom and I always called them “longcuts”. “Ok, we are here.”, he said exasperated. “I told you we should have gone the regular way!”, I say. “Yes, I know you did, but I really did think that was shorter way.”,he said. As we walk in the first thing I see is a beautiful dog. “Oh my goodness, I love your dog!”, I say to the lady. “Oh thank you young lady.”, she says politely. Once we get into the vet’s booth after waiting two hours to get in, she welcomes us with smiles. “Oh, I just love that kitten of yours, but it looks to be in pretty bad shape. Let me go get some cleaning supplies.”, she says cheerfully. As soon as she came back in I could tell she was profesional. She had gloves on and had a nice clean cloth neatly folded and was neon white. “Ok let’s see here…”, she says checking the kitten, "She doesn’t seem have any infections or anything serious but i’ll clean up these cuts.”, she said as she took out some kind of tiny bottle of liquid and little squad areas of paper. She cleaned the cuts and once she was done she gave Glitzy a treat and a nice pet. “Ok she’s all set, I hope to see you again.”, she said with a smile. I realize she's flirting with him. Seriously... Adults. Am I right Glitzy? I mentally roll my eyes. “Sadly you won’t. We are moving in a couple of days.”, he says. “Oh well that’s fine too.”, she says. We exit the building to
find that it’s pouring. Glitzy wriggles in my arms, not wanting to get wet. It really is too bad we’re moving. I wish we could stay here just for a bit longer. I put Glitzy under my coat so she doesn’t get wet. As we get in the car my dad sets up the GPS. “So your not going to try to go on a “shortcut” again.”, I say in a sassy tone. “No, I was going to go the normal way.”, my dad says back mocking my sassy tone. 

Once we get home I put Glitzy back in the kennel. As soon as we walk in the house I hear my mom crying. “MOM?!”, I yell throughout the house. “I found her, Don't worry!”, my dad says from upstairs. “Just stay down there for right now!”, he yells down the hall before I could climb the stairs. But from the position i could just barely hear my mother,”Sh-she’s g-going to t-t-tell her!!!”, my mom barely says through sobs. “What? Who?”, my dad says. “HER!”, my mom says still crying uncontrollably. I walk away from the stairs not wanting to hear more. What are they talking about. Is the girl that says she’s my sister have contact with my mother? Has she done anything? But the most important question hung in my mind. What does she want to tell me?

Hey again! I hope you are enjoying what I have written so far! Are you curious about who this mysterious person is? What does she want to ask?

Find out on the next episode of dragon ba- ok I need to stop.
