Unless you have superpowers or really good hearing, it's probably impossible for you to understand the words that someone may be whispering from meters away, or be invisible, or walk through walls.

Unless you are viewing a television program or reading a book in which a character may have superpowers, it is in a way possible for you to do all those things.

You might never have superpowers or magic, but you may read this chapter that's written in black before your eyes, in which a girl named Zoe and her friend Ish do some magical cooking that makes it possible for them to become invisible in order to get closer to the two men and figure out the plan. The spell was called Invisibility Vermicelli.

The girls got to cooking the spell the moment they got back from school. They both were exhausted from their last lesson, PE, in which Clone Leo was excused from running laps due to his knee injury. Clone Leo was currently in Maths tuition, so the girls had to cook without him.

"Okay, it's done." Zoe said, handing out the plate of vermicelli to Ish.

Although Ish held her hands out to hold it, she looked down both figuratively and literally.

Zoe noticed this, and then made a little smile on her face as she put a hand on Ish's back.
"Okay, what's going on?" She said.

"It's just that...ever since Leo went missing...or kidnaped, you know what I mean...I've been getting this really, really...bad feeling that something terrible is going to happen." Ish said, describing as much as she could.

"What kind? Can you describe it?" Zoe asked.
"I don't know. Like maybe, just maybe...." Ish started but couldn't finish.

Zoe slowly pushed her head out of her neck like a turtle and said "Maybe what?" Really slowly, with narrowed eyes as she gulped too.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this but, I have a strong feeling they're going to....well...kill him." Said Ish, once again changing the atmosphere around them.

As Zoe slowly started to realise that Ish was right, she stared into nothing.

"Whoa, okay...but...why would they?" Zoe asked.

"Look, I don't know, but it's exactly why we're going to eat this to make ourselves invisible." Ish said.

"Is there a downside?" Zoe asked.

"No, I don't think so, although the Taurian in the spell will wear off in an hour" Ish said.

Zoe walked over to the cookbook to read the riddle.

"'Once you know what you've done, where you have been, the spell will break and you will be seen.

' Oh, I get it, 'where you have been', we need to finish our job in order to be seen again." Zoe said, reading the riddle and analysing it.

"So...we have to make ourselves invisible to get closer to the men and hear what they are saying in order to know exactly where they are hiding Leo and anything else." Ish said.

Zoe nodded. The girls grabbed some vermicelli on their forks and put it in their mouths, but they didn't feel like the spell was working.

"I can still see you." Zoe said.
