The Monsters My Family Are

Chapter 8: They Are Here

Hey just a fun fact: I got the name Tyler from a baby name book. Most of these names come from a baby name book.
   I also did some other points of view.
 BYE!!!! XD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

We're starting training today and I'm a little nervous.

   I sit in my room, staring at the ceiling. The doorbell rings and I rush to get it (like I always do). Tyler is standing on the porch. "Ready to begin training?" he asks.

   "I'm a little nervous."

   "Don't be, it's as easy as pie."

   He walks in and we train in the back yard. "Okay... where to begin," he mutters, "Lifting an object. Clear you mind. And pretend as if your grabing something." He demonstrates; he lifts up a rock and sets it down. "You try."

   I slowly lift up the rock. "I'm doing it!!" I say like a little kid riding her bike without training wheels for the first time.

   "Yes, you are," he says, "Very good." He walks closer to me. He cups his hand on my cheek and kisses me gently. He pulls away and tenses up. "We aren't alone," he mutters to me. "They are watching us."

   "Really?" I look around, "Where?"

   "You can't see them. But they can see us." That's creepy.

   "Why are they watching us?" I ask.

   "They heard rumors about us."

  ~Mystery Girl~

   I watch them. Tyler kisses Dakota so... lovingly. It makes me sick. "Willow," my older brother, Wilbur says, "They are breaking the rules. Should we tell?"

   "No, I want to prove to master I can handle this on my own." I know, my voice sounds like an innocent, good girl. I'm not a good girl!!! I killed about ten immortals. What I call 'immortals' other people call 'monsters'. 

   "Willow, the master just called. He wants you home," Mac says. Mac is another person in the court. There are five of us. Three boys-- Wilbur, Mac, and Tj-- and two girls-- Allison and I. All we do is watch while master gives orders. We're like his... flatterers. We compliment him even when we think he's wrong. We also watch for any rule-breakers. People think we're powerful but really we aren't.

   "No!!" I whine, "I don't want to go!! I'm always bored at home. This is the first time master sends me out on a mission and I can't do anything?!?!"

   "Well, Willow, this is your first time out and master is worried. You're kinda young."

   "I'm fourteen!! This is my first time out!! I've never seen to many... mortal things!!" I didn't know mortals were so... cool. They can build guns to protect themselves. All we have is our mind tricks.

   "Willow, I love ya like a sister and you know I'll do anything to support you but master will have my head for this," Mac says.

   I sigh and say, "Fine." Master looks about eighteen years old. He thinks like a immature teenager though he's old. Master thinks I'm in love with him but I'm not. I fell for Tj; he loves me too but if master finds out, he'll kill Tj.

   Mac takes me home and master greets me with a smile. He kisses me and I mentally roll my eyes. I feel Tj; he's jealous, angry, and hurt. He knows I'm acting but he just can't stand it. Master pulls away and asks, "Did you find Tyler and Dakota?"

   "Yes. They seem to be in love but I'm not sure. If you let me out one more time I bet I can--"

   "No, I worry about you. I'll let Mac and Wilbur go instead."
