The Meeting

I fall onto my bed, in my room with a gasp. My back akes and I feel like I got thrown off a building!

Well, I was thrown off a floating island. Oh my gosh! My back hurts! How do I have pain?

I rush to my full length mirror and pull up my shirt and turn around. Black bruises covered in black veins cover my entire back!

I scream loudly.

My mother rushes up the steep wooden stairs to my room. Her footsteps echo throughout the house. She flung open the door and burst into my room.
"What happened!?!?" She demanded, panting.

"My back!" I exclaim. She turns me around and gasps.

"Good Lord!" She cries out.

"What did you do?" She exclaims. I realize what I got myself into. I can't lie to my Mom but I can't tell her the truth!

"I fell onto my bed and it hurt so I looked and it was like this!" I blurt. She looks at me sceptically.

"Are you being bullied? Zezrah?" She demands to know. I shake my head.

"I don't know where it came from. Honestly." I tell her. One trip to the emergency room confirms what I said.

"Its almost like ink in her veins. I've never seen anything like it in my 42 years of medical training. You might want to check an expert but I think she just has discolored blood veins. Its the only explanation I can think of. Drink water and I think it might clear up." Says Dr Miller, our family doctor.

We return just as JJ's party is finishing up. He still is a great brother. Even without his powers. He wants to know everything and see my 'battle wounds' as he called it. He has NO idea.

Mom got me all kinds of water bottles to sleep with and a nice stack of books. Although its long and kinda weirdly written, I'm itching to read Harry Potter. Not really read it of course. I want to experience it!

I force myself to hold back. I need to learn more or one Abra Kadavra later and I'm gone, for good.

I actually fall asleep quickly and somehow forget the meeting. Lucky for me, I'm reminded.

I wake up to a burning sensation on my chest. My new necklace is glowing and its HOT. I stifle a yelp and try to knock the stone off of me. Instead I feel the sensational thrill of travel. I'm going into the Land of Ink.

I awaken again in a pool. Im not in the lobby I have become somewhat used to. Im in a cave that I assume is underground. Bright crystals illuminate light all around me in rich pastel colors. Its actually kinda cliche...

I rise from the pool and find myself dry. That's cool. Really cool. There is a warm cloak thing draped on a rock nearby. Its white with gold trim and clearly is tailored to fit me. I slip it on over my pajamas and walk barefoot down the mysterious mystical cavern that lays ahead. I soon come to an intersection. There are a lot of ways I could go. 11 other ones to be exact.They all look the same.

Then I hear voices. There are people in each of the tunnels! I duck into a shadowy crevice at the mouth of my cavern. I watch from the shadows as a figure appears ahead of me. Its my older cousin Joe!

Soon other relatives arrive. Cousin Abigale at age 16 waltzes in. My nephew Eddy who is a baby, carried by my technically Aunts who are actually only one year older then me Amy and May. They are twins. We also got Lily my 3rd cousin removed. Lily is paralyzed from the waist down and needs a hearing aid bit is the smartest 9 year old you'll ever meet! I also spot my cousin Mathew. He's 17 and is a football player. Not to bright to be honest but is totally strong. My 4th cousin Emma shuffled in next. I don't see her often so I don't know much about her. A boy my age I don't know is also there. He guides a little girl who looks about 4 years old by the hand. Last of all came my own little brother, Mar who is 2 years younger than me. They all look expectantly at my cavern. I gulp and step from the shadows.
